🦖 The fascinating prehistoric creatures featured throughout the series, including some lesser-known species that played a major role in Earth’s history.
🎥 How the visual effects team worked alongside scientific advisors to create ancient worlds that are both cinematic and scientifically accurate.
☄️ One of my favorite moments from the episode “When the Asteroid Fell”—the connection to NASA’s groundbreaking DART mission, where humanity successfully altered an asteroid’s path. Tim explains why it was important to connect this modern scientific achievement with the asteroid impact that forever changed life on Earth.
