Why did dinosaurs become extinct? How was our Earth formed? The Earth and the evolution of its inhabitants have been plagued by continual destruction and chaos. Could another mass extinction be part of our future? Animal Planet’s new series Animal Armageddon, which premieres on October 19 at 8 pm, answers many of these questions. The series chronicles a range of natural disasters, which could have caused many species of animal and plant-life to become extinct. From a cosmic gamma ray burst triggering the very first mass extinction, to an asteroid slamming into the Yucatan, killing off the dinosaurs, the series sheds light on the evolution and extinction of many of these amazing creatures. From giant predatory sea monsters like the straight-shelled nautiloid, to vicious dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurs rex, to giant mammals like the mastodon, the series outlines the impact, nature’s wrath had on these animals and the life forms that followed. Using cutting edge feature-film quality CGI animation, the programme creates the most authentic vision of our lost worlds revealing a fascinating story. Animal Armageddon provides an in-depth look at ancient Earth’s evolution and the many creatures that inhabited the planet. — TNS Instant millionaires If you win millions in a lottery what will you do?
