Editorial Reviews

In this thrilling adventure as seen on the Discovery Channel from the creators of Walking with Dinosaurs, join renowned zoologist Nigel Marven as he plunges into the prehistoric deep to face some of the largest and most fearsome sea predators that ever existed - creatures so awesome, they make the great white shark look like a goldfish. Scour the depths of seven different prehistoric seas with Nigel as your guide - and marvel at the computer animation techniques that bring each aquatic world to life. Get up close and personal with creatures like the vicious sea scorpions of 450 million years ago, the armor-plated fish of the Devonian Period and a whale-chomping shark called Megalodon. Finally, wade out into the deadliest sea of all time - "Hell's Aquarium" of the late Cretaceous, an ominous body of prehistoric water that gets its name from its elevated water temperatures and the devilish creatures that call it home.

Chased by sea monsters is a thrilling and fascinating exploration of the 7 deadliest oceans in history from the last half-billion years.The prehistoric monsters that lived in the oceans in different geological time periods like the jurassic,devonian,cretaceous,pliocene,eocene,triassic and ordovician.The marine reptiles like the mosasaurs and liopleurodon and giant sea scorpions and dunkleosteous(a 33ft.long armor plated fish),basilasaurus(a 65ft.long killer prehistoric whale) and the giant shark megalodon are brought to life in incredible and unbelievable realism as well as their ancient environments.The "hell`s aquarium" in the cretaceous period is the most dangerous with a variety of marine reptiles and 20ft.long killer fish.The red time-line that Nigel Marvin travels to each time period is very interesting and shows the vast amount of time and different eras and ages these sea monsters lived in.This dvd is educational as well as fun to watch for children and adults.

Ostensibly for children, this DVD had me and my husband GRIPPED. A bizarrely lifelike reconstruction of the earliest life in our oceans, it stars Nigel Marven - we're not worthy! we're not worthy! - an amiable, British, jug-eared zoologist who explains dinosaurs simply and thrillingly. Magic stuff!
