Not enough to be bad, but enough that a pretentious snob like myself would take note of it. Season 2 noticeably breaks this rule quite a lot. In bringing them back to life via CGI, the first season had shown a lot of restraint in shooting it like it was still a wildlife documentary- cameras always feel like either drone shots or the work of scientists in tents with extremely long lenses. It’s no secret that the dinosaurs shown in Prehistoric Planet are actually long dead. I do have my one complaint with the presentation of Prehistoric Planet 2, though, and that’s that they’d broken an unspoken rule of the first season. Considering every relative of Velociraptor has been small and pack-oriented, having the equivalent of a large seagull fighting off others of its kind for the best fishing spot is radically different to anything you’d been shown thus far. I especially like a particularly large dromaeosaur in one of the later episodes. You can tell that the roster selection for this season was educational in and of itself- they’re meant to show you how diverse each family of dinosaurs can truly be. It’s not just them looking weird, either. It’s not just weird ornaments- a lot of the featured animals have very characterful silhouettes, like long, curved snouts to make them stand out from each other. I genuinely love seeing so many strange species brought to the screen- from the dopy looking Majungasaurus to even non-dinosaur entities like mammals and toads. With season 2, though, we’re introduced to what can only be lovingly described as a bunch of weirdos. Admittedly, season 1 had played it pretty safe- animals featured like T.Rex and Velociraptor were all household names, and even other animals could be referred to as “The T.Rex of this region” and the like. Quite possibly my favorite feature of Prehistoric Planet 2 is its actual exhibit of animals. But they’re doing so in a rather grounded way- you’re never made to feel like this is that one dire circumstance, rather Sir David is here to remind you that no, this is their regular day-to-day life. Yes, every animal is fighting for its survival. It’s not even trying to outdo season 1- instead Season 2 shows that the baby murder is just part of nature’s life cycle, since it’s much easier game than the adults.ĭespite that, there’s a nice feeling of tranquility in the episodes. That’s not to say nothing bad ever happens- if anything, enough bad things happen in the documentary that I’m convinced the team of scientists behind it took a sense of perverse joy in having Sir David Attenborough calmly narrate what can only be described as an over-eagerness to inflict harm on dinosaur babies. While predation isn’t the primary feature, it’s definitely the highlight of every episode | Image Credit: Apple TV+ On the other hand, does that actually make for great viewing, though? I’ve legitimately wondered how many people in my life would actually go “Heck yeah, dinosaurs!” and watch stories about Azhdarchid dating. Yes, I know T.Rex had a powerful bite, but what else does it do? It was a huge appeal point of the first season and I’m glad to see it continue here. As a dino nut, I’ve had more than enough Epic Battles of Prehistory that the idea of seeing dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals just chilling out sounds like an ideal documentary.

In the future, drones could prove highly effective at quickly and safely carrying out similar field work in remote areas. The newfound paintings are some of the first to be discovered using unmanned aerial devices, researchers said.

In the second cave, situated in a steep ravine and hidden by thick vegetation, another series of paintings were found, though they were in poor condition due to the presence of mushrooms. The artwork is believed to be around 7,000 years old.
The paintings portray what appear to be female archers and deer and goats, some of which are wounded by arrows, according to 20 Minutos, a Spanish newspaper. Measuring about 4 inches in size, the figures are believed to depict humans and animals. In photos taken in the first cave, a shallow cavity near a quarry, blurry figures can be seen dotting the rock walls.
