Prehistoric : Discovery Channel

Prehistoric travels back in time to reveal the amazing extinct creatures that once called our cities home. While many people know that ferocious dinosaurs and large mammals once roamed America, very few realize that these creatures stalked the exact sites where we’ve built our major cities and most famous landmarks. We are literally walking in the footsteps of these extinct animals every day, without even realizing it.
