Prehistoric is a series about the extinct creatures that used to live where cities now sit in the United States. It includes large cities that are heavily populated, and uses popular attractions within those cities to inform the viewer the relative size of the animals. Using 3D simulations viewers can witness what could have been walking through their back yard hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years ago. Each episode focuses on a different city in the United States, including small islands attached to large cities.
