The Impact of Walking With Dinosaurs on Palaeontology


When Walking With Dinosaurs premiered in 1999, it did not just depict natural history, it transformed how the world saw dinosaurs and deep time. Narrated with gravitas by Kenneth Branagh, the series transported viewers millions of years into the past, immersing them into the daily struggles of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and marine reptiles as they fought to survive.

Spanning six episodes, the show journeyed across the Mesozoic from the Late Triassic to the Late Cretaceous, chronicling dramatic moments of survival. From swift, cunning Coelophysis scavenging for its next meal to a mother Diplodocus carefully laying her eggs. Each sequence brought prehistoric environments to life, revealing dynamic behaviours and complex interactions between species.

Walking With Dinosaurs was bold in its portrayal of palaeobiology and palaeoenvironments at the time, igniting a global fascination with extinct life. It educated, inspired, and left an enduring mark on palaeontology and earth sciences, setting the stage for a new era of prehistoric storytelling.
