Have you seen Prehistoric Planet yet? Here's our review www.newscientist.com/article/2321304-prehistoric-planet-review-david-attenboroughs-dinosaur-magic/
This series is absolutely filled with beautiful shots and photo realistic animals, and it is the closest we will get to seeing what dinosaurs we're like millions of years ago. The team really outdid themselves, nice work.
This series is a true love letter to paleontology and dinosaur fans of all kinds. It was so refreshing seeing these animals act like animals and seeing up-to-date reconstructions of a lot of our favorite species
Honestly the only bad thing I can say about the series, is that we didn’t get more of things like this, behind the scenes of how the animals were realised. Not to mention the fossil evidence that was used to bring them to life aside from the behaviours inferred from modern animals. For example, the reason why Mononykus was depicted to look like an owl is because a study of it’s smaller relative, Shuuvuia, that found to have ear structures rather similar to that of a barn owl, which would’ve likely meant it had the same feathery facial disc that owls have to pick up sounds.
i think they were going for a planet earth feel, you dont hear them going into technical details like the joint that helps crocodile snap its jaws shut, or the physics equations that describe the flight of a sea gull. We take modern animals for granted, so why not take these realistic dinosaurs at face value as well?
@@lorencalfe6446 oh I know that, and very much appreciate for that. And there are folks out there who are taking the time to explain the science and speculation behind the series anyways.
My complaint is that I wish they didn't try so bad to get the PG rating, how can we get 2 male Barbaridactylus going at it but no gore? WWD really showed how unforgiving and brutal nature can be.
I truly hope we get more seasons from this show. I’ve been fascinated with dinosaurs ever since I was little and seeing them portrayed truly, where they are animals and not monsters, was just breathtaking
I wish they'd show Prehistoric Planet in theaters for a limited run. I'd love to hang out with friends watching this on a big screen and eating popcorn. Heck, even this (based on many scenes I've seen) would be a great experience in 4DX. Much better than the colossal disappointment that shall not be named.
@@martijnbouman8874 yeah, what else? The damn two movies before hyped how society would deal with fucking dinosaurs roaming around the modern world, instead they focused on something about bugs and a food crop conspiracy. Fucking lame.
Hey, I thought dominion was pretty cool. It has a few flaws, but I’d still give it an 8/10. However, everyone has their own opinion, and I won’t hate you for your own.
The animation was easily the best ever for an educational series. Love how all the creatures look so animalistic and natural. I think this series shows that choosing between scientific accuracy and entertainment value is a false choice. It’s so entertaining because it follows the science
While we’ve had dinosaur documentaries before, Jurassic Park always seemed to have a monopoly with the general everyday audience for how dinosaurs looked and acted because any other attempts to bring dinosaurs to life with cgi just didn’t look right. However, this show truly broke new ground and is not only a worthy alternative to Jurassic Park’s effects/dino depictions, but honestly surpasses them. The cg in this show is so well polished and detailed that it crosses that uncanny valley with how realistic it looks (and I do believe portraying dinosaurs with more natural and animal-like behavior does help support it). It’s actually kinda sad when you think about how the original Jurassic Park was groundbreaking for how it brought dinosaurs to life with its effects, but now that you fast forward to JW Dominion, and they overuse and abuse so much of the cg (yet don’t put nearly as much time into the smaller details) that nothing really gives me that same uncanny valley like this show or the original JP movie’s trex introduction. Idk if its more because of how shiny, clean, or plasticy the cgi appears, the fact they use less and less practical models/animatronics, the fact they display them more as movie monsters having wwe-like face offs at the end of every jurassic world movie, or just a mix of all 3. But my point is up until now, despite Jurassic Park being far from scientifically accurate, it still had the most convincing looking dinosaurs in the dino-film market for the longest time. But this show definitely changed the game and honestly makes me think of the JP films less. Hopefully this will offer the less knowledgeable or hardcore dino fans a new fresh look on many fan-favorite or even introduced new species of dinosaurs.
Couldn't have said it better....however nothing beats the T-Rex in the original Jurassic Park...both CG and model remain unsurpassed in its quality and aesthetics!
back in the day, the walking with dinosaurs documentary really shaped my view of dinosaurs as incredible animals. it still holds up very well today, despite its age because they used puppets for many of the scenes (the cgi unfortunately is quite dated but still tooks good in my opinion) for the average person I agree that jurassic park shaped their views a lot and back when the book was written, it was up to date with the lates research. too bad the makers of jurassic world did not care to keep it that way. imagine how awesome these movies could have been and just as revolutionary as the first one. instead, they went for the nostalgia and easy cash grab...
@@omarrashid3196 it was an old film that's why. Cgi can look a lot better than you think. Just look at godzilla 2014s scenes ik it's not a dinosaur film but just saying this "cgi bad, everything else good lolllokolllllllllll" is very dumb and kiddish if you do the cgi right ut looks good and the SAME applies to practical fx. And we should stop this stereotype of "everything related to computer has 0 effort cuz comp does everything itself" if you really think like that why not download blender if you have a desktop or laptop? Then you'll understand just how much the computer does stuff by itself
It’s not just the design and behavior, but the pure realism of the cgi that catches my breath. This team needs to be hired for dinosaur movies. Jurassic World trilogy cgi didn’t have anywhere near the realism that we see here. The Primitive War movie adaptation needs this level of effects.
It’s MPC, they are really good at creatures. They made the lion king (2019) so know a lot of stuff on how to do subtleties with animal references. ILM, the main vendor on Jurassic World movies, has more experienced artists and budget, but JW is a completely different type of entertainment and I’m sure deadlines are tight. Artists move around a lot so it probably has more to do with the relationship and space with clients.
@Shoreline Fishing it's pretty good but ofc definitely not one of the best cg works. Especially in the new jw films. In dominion for the 1st half the cgi really was pretty not that good as I can still see the dinosaurs are added and they just don't blend 100 in the scene while the rest of the half, the dinosaurs perfectly blended. Just shows what happens if you rush anything whether be a million dollar big hollyeood movie or a simple indie work
An absolutely breathtaking series; well researched, animated and portrayed. Don't forget Hans Zimmer and Sir David . I really hope this becomes a full on series covering all the prehistoric biotas- from the Ediacrian to the Holocene. ( Yes I'm asking a lot!)
ediacaran/the late devonian getting a php quality docu would be nice, mostly because the former is entirely ignored even though it has some pretty cool stuff, and the latter is only in wonky early 2000s docus, so it'd be nice to see a realistic tiktaalik or something
Amazing. Just amazing af. From the details on the dinosaurs, to the lighting fx, it's all so realistic. Even the textures are so eye catching. The armature required for each dinosaur might be sophisticated, but it was all worth it.
It is hard to say how much I loved watching Prehistoric Planet. I've been able the see a lot of my favourite animals and anothers unknown to me in the best possible way. They've never been depicted in such quality until now and I am so happy that I had the oportunity to see it. I can't expres how thankful I am for this. I hope we'll get more episodes eventully, and if it was possible, documentaries about other prehistoric animals, such as "terror birds", prehistoric mammals, ocean fauna, crocodiles evolution history... I don't know, maybe I ask too much but I think this is really important culture and should be on tv and all the plataforms possible so everyone learns about it and hopefully, we learn to apreciate the incalculable value of the life on earth. Again, thank you so much for you this fantastic work. Wish you the best.
The accurate designs of the animals they made in the series are amazing. I hope the directors will make more seasons in Prehistoric Planet 2022 and each season to center on the rest of the time periods from Paleozoic🦂, Mesozoic🦖 & Cenozoic🐘 era, right 👍😉🌎🌍🌏🌌.
Bbc and Apple did a fantastic job making prehistoric planet . David Attenborough deserves the credit for narrating this series . I’m gonna watch this so many times
Hope they make a second season. An episode dedicated to sauropods would be amazing. From the smallest sauropod to the biggest. If they show Amphicoelias fragilimus, it would be an icing on the cake. There is very little knowledge of such a creature. And it would be even more amazing if they go an era behind. Even before the dinosaurs even existed. So much potential for this show. :D
I loved this series a lot. We need to support this kind of thing more so that maybe in the future, we could get even more dinosaur documentaries, which would be amazing.
This is my long childhood dream come true. The day where something similar to Walking with Dinosaur will get its remastered in future with far better technology and more accurate scientific knowledge to deliver the best realistic possible way to depict these majestic creatures. What a time to be alive
I really hope that Apple TV continues this series with either even more dinosaurs or possibly even a Permian or Tertiary period season to go over pre and/or post dinosaur life
IMO, from now on all the next paleo medias will have to look back at Prehistoric Planet to get inspired by its animation nuances, such as they did when Jurassic Park (1993) was released, 'cause UOW, that's so superb and realistic. The CGI of the recent Jurassic movies looks dated compared to this docu series (with all respect guys, it's not about the CGI quality as a whole, but its nuances). The best thing I watched this year so far, it awaked the kid inside me, and I'm so glad that a whole young generation such as my sister (14) will know a lot about paleo stuff by Prehistoric Planet. Brilliant job! I'm looking forward to season 2.
I think the reason why Jurassic World trilogy doesn't feel realistic not really because of the CGI, but because they not act like real animal For example when the Dinosaur just... casually wallking or doing stuff they feel... real, and nothing wrong And when action/chase scene happen, suddenly it feel... off. The CGI still great, but what they doing doesn't feel right.
@@roastedsand5917 Amazing point. A video from Corridor Crew just said the same thing, and I agree. As I said, it's not CGI quality, but its nuances, which the right word would actually be the intentions in portraying these animals, as you pointed.
The idea that reality has to = boring is so bullshit. Will never understand "dinosaur fans" who only like them if theyre fantastical and unreal. Like why can't it just be cool that such huge badass animals existed and were REAL? I love my kaijus and shit too but it's so cool that we had such cool creatures right here on earth and they werent fantasy creatures.
It definitely has the best looking T. rex design I've seen in modern media and its pretty good. Its heftier. It doesn't have any feathers (but few hair-like nearly invisible spurs at most), its teeth aren't visible, it has lips, its brow crests look good (some reconstructions make them look like tumors rather than crests but this series didnt), not shrink-wrapped. Only thing it was missing, was its tongue being flat and immobile like crocodiles. The only inaccuracy that stood out to me was just that it had a moving tongue similar to mammals and birds, but it shouldn't. Immobile tongues likely made it more efficient to bite things without it in the way or crushing it. It also didnt show how T. rex is thought to have eaten Triceratops, but first removing the head away from the body, to get it out of the way (frill and horns) then eat the rest. It PP instead had the T. rex try to dig behind its neck to eat without removing the head first. I hope in the future, they could maybe add those missing minor details in.
Show this to the weirdos who keep whining about how the dinosaurs don’t look like the ones from jp. Seriously Prehistoric Planet was an absolute godsend for paleontology buffs! This is the dino doc I’ve been dreaming of for so long!
Just watched this series and I feel like a little kid again fascinated by dinosaurs. I don't know, we all don't know if it's realistic, nobody was there at the time, but it looks so natural - Earth animals as they are, unlike Hollywood's depictions of dinosaurs: psychopathic alien monsters that are always hungry, roaring for no reason and chasing the prey with unlimited energy. Thumbs up for the everybody involved making this "documentary".
I really loved this series. We need more shows that have the confidence to show us dinosaurs as the animals they actually were. I do wish though that they took more care to give us size references, mainly by having the camera at human eye height far more often. Carnotaurus was actually 26-feet long! You would never really know that based on the sequence they made and how they filmed it. I thought it was maybe the height of a human, because they had the camera up around its head so often. Likewise, the whole Dreadnoughtus sequence lost a lot of power because they showed them from up in the sky instead of letting us see them as we would if we were there, looking up at them as the incredible 60-ton creatures they were.
This is supposed to be a speculative documentary, akin to Planet Earth or Walking With Dinosaurs. A close-up perspective might be cool briefly but that's better suited for a kaiju or action film, not a nature documentary. It'd also be much harder to actually tell what's going on from that close as well.
@@TheBrownestFalcon You don't have to shoot it from close-up, you just need to have the camera 6-feet off the ground wherever you're shooting from. It makes a huge difference. Most shots of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park in 1993 were from human height, even the long shots. Spielberg knew what he was doing.
I wonder what program the skin of the dinosaurs was made in, specifically the initial shot with the different layers of the Tyrannosaurs, when they showed off the skeletal structure, then the muscle layout, and then the skin, was it ZBrush?
I love how Seng Lau describes the pop culture depiction of Tyrannosaurus as very skeletal and otherworldly to make it look like a monster. A giant reptilian beast keen on making a meal out of anything it so pleases with a deafening roar. Whereas with Prehistoric Planet, Tyrannosaurus looks like an animal, like a bird. Something intelligent, something believable, something not meant to scare or to thrill, but to educate and inspire. No roar, no teeth sticking out of the jaw, no shrink wrap skin, and no mindless killing.
Ive never seen Dinosaurs depicted so animal like as in this show. Theyre always depicted as some kind of fantasy creature where they're monsters or heroes or villians. They were no such thing they were wildlife.
@@definitelynotdilophosaurus1722 it’s very minor lol. I love the show as well. The carnotaurus has its osteoderms arranged in straight lines, when they were random,y scattered across its back rather than in neat rows.
T. rex did not have feathers, Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs are not sexually dimorphic, Triceratops were not herding animals. Those are just three off the top of my head that are pretty much known to be wrong. The over the top speculative crap can't be disproven, which is why it's so popular. But that's not science. Science isn't just saying things and forcing someone else to prove you wrong.
In my opinion in this scene 04:01 the head need more stabilize like chicken head or eagle head when move...but i love the show, thank you for making this.
I hope bbc does a season two of prehistoric planet! I think the early cretaceous from about 125-110 million years ago would be a good pick with a wide range of animals and habitats
Hello I am an animation student and have a question. What program do she use at 3:30 and the right screen and for what is it? Thank you so much for help
Why wasn't this included on Apple+'s show page? I love this kind of behind the scenes content, and David Attenborough literally invites you to find more info on the show page, and all there was are like 4minute takes on 1 very specific aspect of the science or the show. One for each episode...so not a lot at all.
God forbid if they were to remake Jurassic park, but when the absolutely WILL, it would be so cool if they uses realistic dinosaur models like these. A lot of the dinos have much cooler designs that the Jurassic series ignored, and a bunch of creatures never even seen, like the sarcosuchus, dunkleosteus, purlovia, leedsicthys and literally hundreds more! Dinos are the closest we have to dragons and magical birds, and should be represented more in media, hopefully accurately
True that man! Even if the real T-rex doesn't roar it's size, footspteps and curiosity around my EV Ford Explorer would still scare me, like an elephant.
And by making them behave like actual animals. What we got from the JP and JW series are raptors that can open doors and t rexes that slaughter everything they see. I would love an actual accurate movie-documentary with accurate dinosaurs.
@@VivianaSilverback that was one my gripes of the movies after the first two JP Films. The rest of the movies except Dominion basically made them into Monsters. Giga and Theri. Spinosaurus was basically chasing the humans left and right. I'm not gonna talk about Indominus and Indoraptor since they both make sense cause they are Hybrids. A Baryonyx that doesn't care about the Lava.

Hello
Honestly the only bad thing I can say about the series, is that we didn’t get more of things like this, behind the scenes of how the animals were realised. Not to mention the fossil evidence that was used to bring them to life aside from the behaviours inferred from modern animals. For example, the reason why Mononykus was depicted to look like an owl is because a study of it’s smaller relative, Shuuvuia, that found to have ear structures rather similar to that of a barn owl, which would’ve likely meant it had the same feathery facial disc that owls have to pick up sounds.
Yeah I wished the Uncovered segments were longer and covered all the segments (like Big Al Uncovered)!
i think they were going for a planet earth feel, you dont hear them going into technical details like the joint that helps crocodile snap its jaws shut, or the physics equations that describe the flight of a sea gull. We take modern animals for granted, so why not take these realistic dinosaurs at face value as well?
I'd heard Troodontids had the same structures.
@@lorencalfe6446 oh I know that, and very much appreciate for that. And there are folks out there who are taking the time to explain the science and speculation behind the series anyways.

This and Walking With Dinosaurs are the two best dino documentaries I have ever seen.

It also didnt show how T. rex is thought to have eaten Triceratops, but first removing the head away from the body, to get it out of the way (frill and horns) then eat the rest. It PP instead had the T. rex try to dig behind its neck to eat without removing the head first.
I hope in the future, they could maybe add those missing minor details in.
Show this to the weirdos who keep whining about how the dinosaurs don’t look like the ones from jp.
Seriously Prehistoric Planet was an absolute godsend for paleontology buffs! This is the dino doc I’ve been dreaming of for so long!
Just watched this series and I feel like a little kid again fascinated by dinosaurs. I don't know, we all don't know if it's realistic, nobody was there at the time, but it looks so natural - Earth animals as they are, unlike Hollywood's depictions of dinosaurs: psychopathic alien monsters that are always hungry, roaring for no reason and chasing the prey with unlimited energy.
Thumbs up for the everybody involved making this "documentary".
I wished MPC would explain more of the technical side of bringing the animals to life.
Still ain’t getting sick of this brilliant show.
I really loved this series. We need more shows that have the confidence to show us dinosaurs as the animals they actually were. I do wish though that they took more care to give us size references, mainly by having the camera at human eye height far more often. Carnotaurus was actually 26-feet long! You would never really know that based on the sequence they made and how they filmed it. I thought it was maybe the height of a human, because they had the camera up around its head so often. Likewise, the whole Dreadnoughtus sequence lost a lot of power because they showed them from up in the sky instead of letting us see them as we would if we were there, looking up at them as the incredible 60-ton creatures they were.
There is only one known specimen of Carnotaurus and it's just around 25 feet long (or 7-8 meters).
This is supposed to be a speculative documentary, akin to Planet Earth or Walking With Dinosaurs. A close-up perspective might be cool briefly but that's better suited for a kaiju or action film, not a nature documentary. It'd also be much harder to actually tell what's going on from that close as well.
@@TheBrownestFalcon You don't have to shoot it from close-up, you just need to have the camera 6-feet off the ground wherever you're shooting from. It makes a huge difference. Most shots of dinosaurs in Jurassic Park in 1993 were from human height, even the long shots. Spielberg knew what he was doing.
@@EGarrett01 but it’s a documentary which jurassic park isn’t
@@sauceduphands2239 It still matters where you place the camera even if you're imitating a documentary.
I wonder what program the skin of the dinosaurs was made in, specifically the initial shot with the different layers of the Tyrannosaurs, when they showed off the skeletal structure, then the muscle layout, and then the skin, was it ZBrush?
Likely Zbrush, yeah. It's insane the level of detail they went to
Wow! Amazing that science was able to discern the color and sounds of creatures from Aeons in the past!
0:19 wow they actually sculpted the skeletal and muscular structures
Well yeah, that's how you get the movement and texture to look right.
@@brainmind4070 it's just for muscle/skin simulstion, the motion is done entirely manually by thr animators
I love how Seng Lau describes the pop culture depiction of Tyrannosaurus as very skeletal and otherworldly to make it look like a monster. A giant reptilian beast keen on making a meal out of anything it so pleases with a deafening roar. Whereas with Prehistoric Planet, Tyrannosaurus looks like an animal, like a bird. Something intelligent, something believable, something not meant to scare or to thrill, but to educate and inspire. No roar, no teeth sticking out of the jaw, no shrink wrap skin, and no mindless killing.
this show is the best definition of art nowadays.
Ive never seen Dinosaurs depicted so animal like as in this show. Theyre always depicted as some kind of fantasy creature where they're monsters or heroes or villians. They were no such thing they were wildlife.
Well now we have so 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love this series because it is a accurate representation of dinosaurs, it does no false fact.
There’s actually one inaccuracy in the show.
@@kaizusmyguyzus6469 you say that, but what?
@@definitelynotdilophosaurus1722 the carno
@@definitelynotdilophosaurus1722 it’s very minor lol. I love the show as well. The carnotaurus has its osteoderms arranged in straight lines, when they were random,y scattered across its back rather than in neat rows.
T. rex did not have feathers, Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs are not sexually dimorphic, Triceratops were not herding animals. Those are just three off the top of my head that are pretty much known to be wrong. The over the top speculative crap can't be disproven, which is why it's so popular. But that's not science. Science isn't just saying things and forcing someone else to prove you wrong.
Probably the best Prehistoric series
For once the CGI on these documentaries look fantastic
I hope they make season 2 for this show with Dinosaurs from other regions aswell.
In my opinion in this scene 04:01 the head need more stabilize like chicken head or eagle head when move...but i love the show, thank you for making this.
It’s important to know that only some birds have the internal gyroscope that allows them to move like that.
@@kaizusmyguyzus6469 Yes, exactly. Not every bird has the ability to do this, and it can be seen in their skeletal structures.
I swear no matter how old you are dinosaurs will always be cool
Exactly
Now it's the turn of Pleistocene mammals.
Dino animator got me falling in love.
I need at least 1 40-minute version of this
Man, I wanted some lessons from those modellers, they are such legends
I hope bbc does a season two of prehistoric planet! I think the early cretaceous from about 125-110 million years ago would be a good pick with a wide range of animals and habitats
Hello I am an animation student and have a question. What program do she use at 3:30 and the right screen and for what is it? Thank you so much for help
Zbrush, it's used for sculpting
man i wish this show wasnt exclusive to apple tv+
I'm not surprised after I'm done to watch some prehistoric Documentaries for long years.
3:36
Poggers
Got'em
NOOOO
:O
-monnonykus
I can't wait to see this show
Prehistoric Planet was robbed of Emmys
Prehistoric Planet was awesome and was double that with Attenborough and they didn't show nearly all they could in regards to dinosaurs
I love these kinds of videos.
Why wasn't this included on Apple+'s show page? I love this kind of behind the scenes content, and David Attenborough literally invites you to find more info on the show page, and all there was are like 4minute takes on 1 very specific aspect of the science or the show. One for each episode...so not a lot at all.
Yeah, that was unfortunate. Each episode needed a companion episode that discussed the science behind all the decisions made.
I’m watching this documentary non stop because it makes me calm and very positive.
PLEASE SEASON 2
Absolutely fantastic
great cgi and animations TT love how they are natural
I wish they had shown ankylosaurus in that series.
They did. Only for a few seconds tho.
@@edrick106 That was actually Anodontosaurus, which is still close (wished Attenborough would've referred it by its genus name)!
@@edrick106 That wasn't Ankylosaurus. It was Anodontosaurus. A close relative.
Is there gonna be another season? Because I would love if they explored species like Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus.
Prehistoric Planet is a lot better than Jurassic Fight Club!
Change my mind!
Everyone already agrees with you. JFC is universality disliked.
If only Netflix cared about the real information like the team at Apple did, Life On Our Planet would've been amazing.
YES I LOVE THESE BTS! oooh I love seeing their actual riggs
Video is very beautiful video
Very cool work
I like how the tyrannosaurid species had at least little Mohawks of feathers.
Beautiful
God forbid if they were to remake Jurassic park, but when the absolutely WILL, it would be so cool if they uses realistic dinosaur models like these. A lot of the dinos have much cooler designs that the Jurassic series ignored, and a bunch of creatures never even seen, like the sarcosuchus, dunkleosteus, purlovia, leedsicthys and literally hundreds more! Dinos are the closest we have to dragons and magical birds, and should be represented more in media, hopefully accurately
Jurassic Park is just a movie
A Fictional Movie on their own way.
@@LuisRivera-jk1vo That isn't really a valid excuse. Several of their Dino's are historically very accurate, while others are grossly inaccurate.
True that man! Even if the real T-rex doesn't roar it's size, footspteps and curiosity around my EV Ford Explorer would still scare me, like an elephant.
This series was brilliant and so well animated, but I have my reservations of the speculative "air sacs" on the Dreadnoughtus.
Same
Very nice video
Someone tell me what app does prehistoric planet use to make this documentary.
Seems I need to go watch this
Brilliant! 👍
Honestly, wi wish they made a jurassic park style action movie with these science-accurate designs
And by making them behave like actual animals. What we got from the JP and JW series are raptors that can open doors and t rexes that slaughter everything they see. I would love an actual accurate movie-documentary with accurate dinosaurs.
@@VivianaSilverback that was one my gripes of the movies after the first two JP Films. The rest of the movies except Dominion basically made them into Monsters.
Giga and Theri. Spinosaurus was basically chasing the humans left and right. I'm not gonna talk about Indominus and Indoraptor since they both make sense cause they are Hybrids. A Baryonyx that doesn't care about the Lava.
3:26 damn that woman is so beautiful
Trying to figure out if Seng Lau was intentionally trying to channel Ian Malcolm or not.
Respect.
Not only the accurate the graphic are realistic too.
My only issue with this series is the pack hunting dromaeosaurs, other than that its amazing
Can i get prehistoric park again
These guys are the best! Thank you so much
