Great show, Interesting and Educational

The Velvet Claw is really an incredible documentary outlining the race for dominance in the animal kingdom which happened after the loss of the dinosaurs

It breaks down the path of different animals by family group and explains the natural pressures which exist and how the shape evolution of existing and extinct creatures

The show even explains changes to the planet and what consequences they have

It has interesting music, great animations (the whale one is particularly beautiful)

Highly recommend it and I'm surprised the BBC has never reissued this gem.
