Walking With Dinosaurs Feature

Based on an unprecedented discovery in Alberta, Canada, The Journey North tells the epic tale of one of the largest dinosaur herds that ever lived, the Pachyrhinosaurus, through the eyes of one of its youngest members, Albie. Every year, his herd makes an epic journey north as the seasons change. Along the way, he will encounter clashing bulls, tyrannosaur predators, and freak weather events.

Dr. Emily Bamforth said: “This episode is based on fifty years of research conducted at the Pipestone Creek Pachyrhinosaurus bonebed in northwest Alberta. The Pipestone Creek Bonebed, tucked away in Canada’s mixed boreal forest, captures the moment when a herd of potentially thousands of Pachyrhinosaurus, an enigmatic ceratopsian (horned) dinosaur with a distinctive bulbous bump on the nose, was preserved in a single event. The bonebed provides an unparalleled opportunity for palaeontologists to study growth, social structure, parental care, and behavior in a single community of dinosaur from a single point in time. The episode uses VFX and the integration of science-in-action to beautifully capture the immensity and scale of the bonebed, revealing the dramatic story of this dinosaur mega-herd, and the late Cretaceous world in which they lived.”
