This is an adapted and somewhat different version of a documentary which was also broadcasted by the BBC. The idea for 'The Future is Wild ' is very simple. Imagine a world millions of years from now without the dominating presence of humankind. The stories which derives from this world are extraordinary as well as intriguing.
The team from 'The Future is Wild' started their experiment with talking to archeologists. The movements of vast areas from Earth were carefully reconstructed. With these information it was possible to determine the movement of the different continents in the future. After this, climatologists got their chance to compare their calculations with those from the archeologists to place new eco-systems on the future map. All this information was passed through to biologists who, on their turn, occupied this future with animals.
The result is a rich fantasy world, which is even more intriguing because it really could happen. No event or animal-species in 'The Future Is Wild' is really impossible. This world could have never been created by just one person. Experts on geology, neuro-biology, plants, insects, evolution, sea life and many others were asked to share their visions. Their ideas and feedback ended up in a team of price winning nature documentary makers. They brought animals alive by creating stories on the behavior of these new species. The process was now complete, and this simple idea was finally ready to be shared with the world.
On 3 dvds is shown how the world will look in 5,100 and 200 million years from now.

  • @ptango666 True; I was surprised to hear him say that. There were so many obscure and interesting animals in this planet's past that a lot of people don't even know existed.

  • evolved from a wolverine? AWESOME! :D

  • BLASPHEMY!!!

  • @gguirao if i was somehow went through a portal to this perallel universe i would use those birds as a feeding source by standing in front of them and firing a horn with my mouth open

  • Not only felines evolved "sabre-teeth" thylacosmilus was a "sabre-tooth marsupial"!

  • To all the people who think the gannet whales are far fetched: penguins and the extinct Hesperornis are pretty close to what a conceivable transitional form between a gannet and a gannetwhale could be like. Remember, evolution has managed to get some pretty crazy results already.

  • something makes me wanna cry when i watch these

  • @7:43 pause, turn your head to the left, it's an Alien just sayin "wassup!"

  • I wanna see evolved people!!! Are we in a small star cluster called New Eden? Or are we all in a galaxy far, far away?

  • too all these people arguing about gannetwhales being a longshot and implausible...

    WAY stranger things have happend in evolution so far.

    But i would consider penguins a more likely canidate for whale like creatures, penguins "could" evolve into pretty similar creatures to mosasaurs ect

    Considering penguins actually survive long enough to do so!
