When Whales Walked–New Doc From PBS

[Patrx]

When Whales Walked is a four-part series exploring the evolutionary histories of modern crocs, birds, whales, and elephants which will be airing (and made available to for streaming) on the 19th of June. I didn't work on this one personally, but I have had a chance to check it out ahead of time and it's quite good overall. I definitely have a few nitpicks about a few of the life reconstructions (particularly the Deinonychus), but it's worth checking out regardless 

If you can tolerate Facebook's atrocious video player, there's a short video promo available here.

Ooh, that looks intriguing! Thanks for making us aware of it.

I really enjoyed this documentary, but I was kinda disappointed that they didn't go more in depth into the actual evolution of whales, considering that was the title of the program.

Indeed! I like the alliteration, but since the story was split up into three roughly equal parts, it's a little misleading to name the whole thing after one quarter of it.

It was a great doc overall, but one could easily devote two hours to bird, whale, or elephant evolution entirely on their own.

I'd leap for joy if CollectA, Eofauna, or Safari released a toy of Stegotetrabelodon. It's such a fantastic-looking animal, more so than any mammoth.
