Our planet is beautiful, mysterious, and, honestly, pretty weird. Life on Our Planet peers into the distant past to breathe life into the most bizarre life-forms to ever roam the Earth. It shows a time when colossal shrimp were the ocean’s apex predators and 10-foot-long bear-cats ruled the land. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Here are the most unusual creatures in Life on Our Planet.

This is the story of life’s epic battle to survive on Earth. Today, there are 20 million species on our planet, yet what we see is just a snapshot in time — 99% of Earth’s inhabitants were lost to our deep past. The story of what happened to these dynasties — their rise and their fall – is truly remarkable. Narrated by Morgan Freeman and created in partnership with Industrial Light & Magic, Life on Our Planet uses the latest technology and science to bring long-extinct creatures back to life.
