Walking with Beasts takes up the story where Walking with Dinosaurs left off.
Broadcast in 2001, it told the story of life on Earth from the death of the dinosaurs to the dawn of the age of man. Weird and wonderful creatures, from Woolly Mammoths to birds that ate horses, pushed special effects teams to the limit.

  Walking with Beasts - Ben Bartlett   (Site not responding. Last check: )
After the terrific Walking with Dinosaurs, the BBC have delved more recently into pre-history with what is perhaps a more enlightening documentary about the development of the mammals after the dinosaurs died out.
While dinosaurs hold universal appeal, not a great deal is documented about the intervening 60 million years and Walking with Beasts is a superb, but superficial glance at some of the early mammals and their eventual evolution into primates and modern man. Accompanying the digital beasts is Ben Bartlett's thrilling score.
Walking with Beasts is every bit as good and despite a selection from the original album, it still features over 47 minutes of new music - just a shade shorter than the original album itself.

 DVD.net : Walking With Beasts - DVD Review
Walking With Beasts is the latest BBC-produced documentary series relying heavily on modern film making techniques such as animatronics and CGI for its appeal, and follows on chronologically from where the critically acclaimed Walking With Dinosaurs left off some 65 million years ago.
Many of the creatures are given names or nicknames, and there are a few humorous instances of the beasts interacting with the 'cameraman', such as the flinging of mud and a shattered camera lens.
Each beast is allocated its own page, and there is a wealth of information provided, from time period, to habitat, interesting facts, nearest living relative (if any) and a small picto-graph that shows a silhouetted comparison to a human.

 Walking With Beasts (2001)
The dinosaurs, as we know, were virtually wiped out around 65 million years ago by either a giant meteor hitting the earth or a combination of cataclysmic events which almost certainly changed the climatic conditions of the planet and lead to the demise of these saurian giants.
Also introduced are Hyaenodon, large predators (not related to hyenas), but which are the size of rhinoceros, Chalicotheres, massive 3 metre sloths that walk on their knuckles and are related to horses and possibly the most ugly predator of all time, Enteldonts, distant relatives of the pig family whose own worst enemy is itself.
