The upcoming Apple TV+ show, Prehistoric Planet, offers viewers some of the most scientifically accurate depictions of dinosaurs to ever grace the screen. The hunting routine of Mononykus, a small, insect-eating theropod, is depicted in this clip.
The Prehistoric Planet show is a five-episode series that will transport viewers to five different habitats of the Late Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago. The first captivating trailer for the show can be found here.
The Mononykus is on the hunt in this exclusive footage from the episode. In the clip, the roughly dachshund-sized dinosaur inspects a withered log in a desert before using a claw on one of its forelimbs. The dinosaur pokes a hole in the log and slurps up food. One theory about the ecology of Mononykus is that the dinosaur hunted like anteaters and pangolins.
Prehistoric Planet is not the first show to attempt to recreate extinct animals for the screen, but many of the specific reptiles the show features are being depicted on screen for the first time.
The show depicts dinosaurs in ways you may not have thought of before, and how science has only recently revealed they lived. There will be footage of dinosaurs in the polar regions and shots of massive dinosaurs moving in herds.
