Did You Know?
| Trivia | The show put forward the then-proposed idea that the ostrich-like dinosaurs were water-going filter-feeders like modern-day ducks. This theory isn't accepted anymore. See more » |
| Goofs | Even though the characters have a time machine, the need to act quickly to save prehistoric animals is brought up in several episodes. In one episode, it's even a plot point that they arrived too late to save some saber-toothed cat cubs, which makes no sense. See more » |

[repeated line]
Narrator: There is something missing from our world. The amazing animals that time has left behind. But what if we can bring them back? What if extinction didn't have to be forever? We're going back in time on a safari with a difference, as wild life adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into pre-history to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction. His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present and give them a second chance. See more » |
