Discover Brazil's Wild Wonderland





This YouTube video is a short preview from episode 5 of BBC Walking with Beasts (Sabre Tooth) showing grassland regions of South America as they looked in prehistoric times prior to the arrival of man. This episode focuses on the life of a sabre tooth cat - but also shows other fauna of the time including the Phorusrhacos "terror bird", glyptodonts (giant ancient relatives of the armadillo), ancient camelid species (Macrauchenia) related to the modern-day llama and the giant ground sloth (megatherium).
