49 Million Years Ago - Early Eocene — Germany hfajhfiudshfas == == == --24. ...

The first episode depicts the warm tropical world of the early Eocene which was 16 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs. In this world, birds, including the six foot carnivorous Gastornis, rule the world, while mammals are still very small. The setting is near the Messel Pit in Germany. Due to volcanic activity, sudden bulk escapes of carbon dioxide trapped underneath lakes are a hazard. The episode centers around a Leptictidium family foraging for food. The Leptictidium is a small leaping shrew-like mammal. While the family is foraging, a female Gastornis successfully hunts down a Propalaeotherium and defends her territory from another Gastornis. Unfortunately, while the Gastornis is out hunting, a horde of large ants (known as Formicium) ambush its baby. When the night arrives, we see a band of lemur-like Godinotias, socializing in the dark. The episode also shows the Ambulocetus, or the "walking whale", lying in ambush for its prey, both on land and underneath the water. Although it looks like a mammalian crocodile, the episode explains that from the Ambulocetus, all the whales would eventually evolve. It tries to attack the Leptictidium and Propalaeotherium, but fails. It finally manages to catch a Cynodictis in the dark of the night. The episode ends with an earth tremor unleashing trapped carbon dioxide out from underneath the lake, suffocating most of the surrounding life (but the Leptictidium featured are lucky this time).

The second episode is set in late Eocene, when the polar caps froze over and drastically changed the Earth's ocean currents and climate. The first part of the episode explains how an early whale, Basilosaurus mates and how the world is changing into an ocean famine. On land there is an Andrewsarchus driven to the beach to feed on turtles. the narrator explains that Andrewsarchus, the largest mammal predator ever to walk the earth is a sheep in wolf's clothing. Back in the ocean, a starving mother Basilosaurus is forced to hunt in the mangrove swamps. Unable to catch the early monkey Apidium, she is then hunting a Moeritherium. The Moeritherium crawls on to land, but in the mangroves, land does not last long. However the moeritherium escapes and the Basilosaurus returns to the sea. The cast moves on to land were a herd of Embolotherium struggle to survive: one of their calf's dies and two Andrewsarchus feast on it but the mother Embolotherium drives them away because she has a strong bond with her offspring, even if it is dead.

The third episode takes place during the late Oligocene, in Mongolia, where there were seasonals rains followed by a long drought. It tells the story of a mother Indricotherium, a massive hornless rhinoceros that was the largest land mammal to have ever lived. The episode first shows the mother Indricothere giving birth, and then tending to the male calf as it matures. While giving birth, the mother defends the helpless calf from several Hyaenodon, large creodont predators. Also, the mother's old calf tries to come back but is chased away. It gives a snapshot into the future of the calf. The mother raises her calf for three years, but eventually chases it away after she mates with another male.

The fourth episode takes place in the Great Rift Valley in eastern Africa. The climate has changed, and now great grasslands have replaced trees. The episode focuses around a tribe of small hominids known as Australopithecus, one of the first apes able to walk upright and a close ancestor to humans. The Australopithecus has evolved to walk upright so as to better maneuver the plains as well as the climb the trees. However, it notes that although the Australopithecus looks human, it still only has the mind the size of a chimpanzee's. Some of the topics explored in the episode are the close social bonds among the tribe, how they use grooming as a means of communication, and how they work together to forage for food and to defend one another from attacks from such animals as an angry male Deinotherium and the predator Dinofelis. It touches upon how competing tribes of Australopithecus war among one another, although most of fighting is for show. It also explains the hierarchy in the tribe among the males (who are much larger than the females) and tells a story of how the dominating male is eventually overcome by another male, who wins the right to feed first at a carrion and to mate with the females. Another story tells of a young Australopithecus (nicknamed "Blue") who tries to fit into the tribe after he is orphaned. In this episode, some homage is paid to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey (namely, two tribes of prehistoric hominids fighting over water). This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

The fifth episode shows the strange fauna of the isolated continent of South America and explores the effects of the Great American Interchange, which had happened 1.5 million years earlier. Since South America had drifted apart from Antarctica 30 million years ago, many unique mammals had evolved, including the Doedicurus: an armoured glyptodont that had a cannon ball-sized spiked club on a bony tail; the Macrauchenia, a long-limbed litoptern, somewhat resembling a humpless camel with a short trunk; and Megatherium, a very large ground sloth. Before the continents of South America and North America collided, an 8 foot tall predatory "Terror Bird", Phorusrhacos, had reigned as top predator. However, the great cats, migrating from the north, soon displaced them (this is not entirely correct, see Titanis). The episode focuses on a male Smilodon, a sabre-toothed cat, named Half Tooth, whose leadership of a pride is threatened by two rival males. The two rival males ultimately chase off Half Tooth, kill his cubs, and take over his pride. Next, the episode shows the female Smilodon cats hunting down a Macrauchenia and taking care of their young. In the background, "Terror Birds" still hunt, but give way to the Smilodon. However, a Megatherium charges the pride of Smilodon, in order to eat some of the carrion. In the process, the Megatherium kills one of the rival males, enabling Half Tooth to return to reclaim his territory.
