Prehistoric New York

It’s hard to imagine it now, but the world’s largest cities – the places where humanity’s impact on the Earth can be seen most vividly – were once overrun with prehistoric wildlife so large and fascinatingly diverse as to boggle the mind. Depending on where you live, your own backyard may have been home to mastodons, giant beavers, a herd of fearsome Postosuchus, or Ice Age bears. A new Discovery Channel series profiles six cities across the United States, each with their own unique story to tell about the richness of prehistoric life. With stories ranging from the Triassic to the Pleistocene, the variety of life that came before us is truly amazing. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
