Description:
Walking with Beasts tells the story of the 60 million years between the end of the age of reptiles and the arrival of human beings. More than 30 extinct mammals were animated in CG by the team that produced the highly acclaimed Walking with Dinosaurs, seen by more than 350 million people worldwide. New challenges encountered in this series included all types of fur and hair, from woolly mammoths to sabre-tooth cats, the feathers on giant flightless birds, and simulation of realistic muscle movement and facial expressions.
