NEW & NOTEWORTHY DINO FRIENDS: Using the latest scientific research and stunning visual effects, season two of “Prehistoric Planet” brings audiences up close and personal with new, never-before-seen species on-screen:Isisaurus – An Indian sauropod (long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur) that made its home in an extreme volcanic region known as the Deccan Traps, laying eggs in volcanic heated terrain. Pectinodon – a fierce hunter and fond parent, this bird-like North American feathered dinosaur was part of the troodontid family. A sharp-clawed, long-legged predator, it was an adaptable hunter, its teeth and jaws suggesting that many sorts of small animals would have been on the menu. Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx – The biggest creatures ever to soar the skies, these gargantuan pterosaurs (prehistoric flying reptiles) were the size of a giraffe or small aircraft and are some of “Prehistoric Planet’s” most charismatic characters.

Original score by Zimmer, Anže Rozman and Kara Talve for Bleeding Fingers Music.“Prehistoric Planet” Season 2 Episode Descriptions: IslandsIslands create unusual environments for any animal; surrounded by water and with little opportunity for new arrivals or existing residents to relocate, evolution takes unusual turns. Animals shrink in stature; duck-billed hadrosaurs (which usually rival Tyrannosaurus rex for size) have evolved to the size of a pony, mammals have filled some biological niches and live side by side with giant snakes, and the major predators arrive not by foot, but from the air. BadlandsBadlands are the harshest places on the Prehistoric Planet, where temperatures scorch the land, toxic gasses fill the air and erupting volcanoes spew plumes of lava; yet even in these most extreme environments, dinosaurs thrive. Long-necked titanosaurs take perilous journeys, armored ankylosaurs master survival in the desert and velociraptors show cunning in their hunting. SwampsThe waterlogged worlds of our Prehistoric Planet were home to some of the most spectacular animals on earth. Young pterosaurs hatch from their underground nests on tiny inland islands, surrounded by murky swamp waters. Austroraptors, giant, 20ft long cousins of velociraptor, gather along creeks in summer to fight for the best fishing spot. In the seasonal wetlands of Madagascar, a monstrous toad races against time and a herd of giant sauropods to find a mate. Bizarre dome-headed pachycephalosaurs cling on to survival after a decade-long drought transformed their wetland home. And under the cover of darkness, a pair of Tyrannosaurus rex stalk the fringes of a forested wetland hoping to find their next meal.OceansThe oceans make up the largest habitat on our prehistoric planet. From pole to pole, it covers approximately 70% of its surface. Home to the planet’s biggest predators, every animal needs an edge to stay alive, from the mighty marine lizards, the mosasaurs, to the tiniest shelled ammonites that spend months at sea in a bid for global dominance in sheer numbers. Surprisingly there’s a fully marine dinosaur among them that outmaneuvers one of the largest and fastest predatory bony fishes that has ever lived. The most resourceful animals will always find opportunities in the vast oceans.North AmericaNorth America was home to probably the most famous dinosaur of all time, Tyrannosaurus rex, but it didn’t always have the upper hand as an encounter with a pair of giant flying pterosaurs reveals. Forests echo to the annual triceratops rut, a family of Pectinodons make the most of an unusual seasonal insect bonanza, whilst towards the arctic a Nanuqsaurus hunts Ornithomimus on the tundra.ABOUT APPLE TV+ Apple TV+ offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, groundbreaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all your favorite screens.
