Ever since the dinosaurs died out over 65 million years ago our planet has been dominated by mammals. A succession of bizarre evolutionary experiments specimens have come and gone - from walking whales to sabre-toothed cats - yet many of these magnificent creatures have never been visualized. Here, for the first time, some of these spectacular, unfamiliar animals are recreated and set into the context of their world. Walking with Beasts - A Prehistoric Safari vividly reveals the extraordinary ancestors of modern mammals, and the arrival of man, bringing to life the origins of our heritage.

Following in the footsteps of the hugely-acclaimed television series Walking with Dinosaurs, Walking with Beasts recreates the creatures and landscape of post-dinosaur Earth; transporting us to the icy plains of the mammoth, dark forests ravaged by giant ants and deserts dominated by 15 tonne indricotheres. Run with cat-sized horses and rhino-sized carnivorous pigs, hunt with terror birds and sabre-toothed cats, and walk with the very first humans
