Allosaurus: A Walking with Dinosaurs Special centers on one particular dinosaur dubbed Big Al. Found in Wyoming in the 1980s, Big Al's fossil remains comprise the
most complete allosaur skeleton ever found. The film's naturalistic approach is quite spectacular, with chills (a bog turns out to be a big dinosaur's head), thrills (allosaurs
chase a group of giant diplodocus), and humor (a baby allosaur seems to bump into the "camera"). A companion program, "Big
Al Uncovered," illustrates how the "what-if" story of Big Al was constructed using facts uncovered by paleontologists (including the 17 injuries found in the skeleton) and filling
in the gaps using the dinosaur's distant cousins (birds and crocodiles).  Click Here for price and info

In 1998, a team led by a French archaeologist went to upper Siberia, following the tip that there may have been a woolly mammoth encased in the permafrost. The team was
forced to rely on local nomads for help in locating the beast; the natives were the first to locate the mammoth's huge tusks. Fighting the unforgiving climate, the team
only had a small window of time in which to work before the Siberian winter would stop them; indeed, they had to return the following year to unearth the gigantic
prehistoric animal. Eventually they wound up airlifting out, with an enormous Soviet-era cargo helicopter, a huge block of ice with two tusks sticking out and a mammoth inside.
