New Dawn - 49,000,000 years ago
The first episode depicts the warm tropical world of the early Eocene which was 16 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs.Six foot birds rule the world, while mammals are still very small. The setting is near the Messel Pit in Germany. Due to volcanic activity, sudden bulk escapes of carbon dioxide trapped underneath lakes are a hazard. The episode centers around a Leptictidium family foraging for food.
