Woolly Mammoth: Secrets from the Ice is a documentary presented by English anatomist Dr. Alice Roberts that reveals some of the secrets of one of the most widely known extinct animals ever. Humans have been transfixed by the Wolly Mammoth since the end of the last ice age when there were still herds of them roaming the continents of Asia and Europe. Despite many people knowing about the great Woolly Mammoth until recently very little was known about them despite ancient humans living along side them for so long; few documented accounts exist.
After centuries of investigation, the reason dinosaurs vanished remains one of the most perplexing questions in all of science. After all, they dominated the world for over 140 million years. How these strong, adaptable creatures became extinct is a subject that has filled books, magazines, movies and dreams. Many theories have been developed. Beginning in 1980, Nobel-prize-winning physicist Luis Alvarez suggested that a massive comet or meteor was to blame. Other scientists pointed to scenarios such as violent volcanic activity, or perhaps a virulent dinosaur disease. Discover the latest theories about what killed the "Terrible Lizards," an event that left the earth ripe for the rise of another amazing species...human beings.
