Prehistoric Planet Special 2 - Cretaceous Boogaloo
Show Notes

The long awaited dinosaur documentary Prehistoric Planet is finally here! The Apple  TV+ show  unveils the spectacular habitats and inhabitants of ancient Earth in an immersive digital experience. Using modern science and CGI, it gives us a possible look at the earth millions of years ago.

Trey and Miles break down the show, the science, and what they thought about the story telling.

Miles also tells the story of the Lord Howe's Island Stick Insect, one of the most amazing discoveries of an extinct species.

Trey talks about some Roman Cheese Cake.

There is a ramble about Avatar as well. *Shrug*

There is no Monster Quest this episode. Instead there is coverage of the following two Prehistoric Planet Episodes.


"Ice Worlds": Dromaeosaurs stalk a hadrosaur herd as they cross a freezing river. Male Ornithomimus raid rivals' nests to bolster their own. A herd of Olorotitan raise their offspring on fertile volcanic fields but contend with biting mosquitoes. A troodontid flushes out mammals by spreading a forest fire. A juvenile Antarctopelta scours the forest for a new winter den. A Pachyrhinosaurus herd stands off against a pack of Nanuqsaurus.

"Fresh Water"Velociraptor hunt pterosaurs on a cliffside by a waterfall. An old, battle-scarred male Tyrannosaurus nurses his wounds and encounters a younger female. A Deinocheirus seeks relief from biting flies. A female Quetzalcoatlus builds and guards her nest. A mother Masiakasaurus and her family hunt crabs and encounter Beelzebufo. Elasmosaurs enter an estuary in search of fish.
