What to expect from Walking with Dinosaurs today?

The first episode will introduce audiences to Clover, an orphaned baby Triceratops, in Laramidia, a lush, subtropical landscape 66 million years ago.

Helen Thomas, Executive Producer, said: “The story of Clover is so fascinating because, like the whole series, it is based on the real finds from a unique dig site. In the case of Clover, finding the bones of a very young Triceratops is rare in itself as so many ended up as lunch for the many predators roaming north America in the late Cretaceous.

“But Clover’s story was something even more special - close to her dig site the team found remains of the most infamous predator of them all – T. rex. Unearthing the bones of predator and prey so close together enabled us to reveal the latest science of these iconic species and tell their extraordinary stories.”

The following week will focus on a Spinosaurus called Sobek. But more on that next week!
