Walking with Dinosaurs 2025 episode guide ...Middle East

Walking with Dinosaurs is back 25 years after it first burst onto our screens bringing the prehistoric past back to life.

This new series on BBC One showcases six different dinosaurs going about their daily lives before catastrophe calls.

Cutting-edge science on digs from around the world allows the experts to reveal how these prehistoric creatures lived, hunted, fought and died and state-of-the-art visual effects gives them a whole new lease of life.

Kirsty Wilson, the series’ showrunner, said: “Whilst the first series focused purely on the prehistoric world, we decided it was time to feature real dinosaur digs and base our VFX [visual effects] on the scientific evidence coming out of the ground today.

“This allowed us to tell the most amazing dinosaur stories, but also viewers will literally be able to see the scientific evidence these narratives were based on emerging from the dust for themselves!

“But perhaps our biggest twist is that each episode focuses not on a species in general but tells the tale of a single lead character dinosaur at one of the most dramatic points in their life.

“This is a series that will have you yelling for your dinosaur hero, rooting for them to find ‘love’, biting your nails as they face unimaginable obstacles and on the edge of your seat as they battle for survival!”

In episode one we meet Clover, an orphaned baby triceratops in Laramidia, a lush, subtropical landscape 66 million years ago.

Clover was thought to only be about four years old, the size of a large dog, and in desperate need of a protector.

Her fossilised remains were found in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, USA, not far from the remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex.

At 8 tonnes and nearly 9 metres in length, triceratops was the largest and most iconic of the horned dinosaurs. With two one-metre-long horns over its eyes, and a giant bony frill behind its head, it was an imposing sight.

Scientists believe it evolved in tandem with T rex creating an evolutionary arms race resulting in the ultimate predator and the ultimate defender.

Helen Thomas, the show’s executive producer, said: “The story of Clover is so fascinating because, like the whole series, it is based on the real finds from a unique dig site.

“In the case of Clover, finding the bones of a very young triceratops is rare in itself as so many ended up as lunch for the many predators roaming North America in the late cretaceous [about 143.1 to 66 million years ago].

“But Clover’s story was something even more special – close to her dig site the team found remains of the most infamous predator of them all – T rex.”

The River Dragon

Sunday 1 June

New father Sobek the Spinosaurus is the star of episode two.

He and his young family lived on the banks of a nursery pool and although the pool offered relative safety, Sobek knew they must leave their home and travel somewhere they could catch far more substantial food

The young male Spinosaurus, found in Morocco, trekked to a special stretch of river every year where enormous numbers of prehistoric sawskate fish gathered.

But the journey wasn’t easy as he had to run the gauntlet of predators while protecting his young offspring to ensure their survival.

Bigger even than T rex, Spinosaurus was a giant predator unlike any other dinosaur because it spent most of its time in the water.

With a sail more than two metres tall on its back, a paddle tail and webbed feet, it was perfectly adapted to live in the rivers and swamps of ancient Morocco.

It lived in the Kem Kem, a vast river system at the edge of the Moroccan Sahara. more dangerous than any other, with an abundance of predatory dinosaurs, more than seven species of crocodile and hunting pterosaurs watching from above.

Dinosaur so huge it ate while it slept plants its bulk in the Natural History Museum

An international team of palaeontologists led by Dr Nizar Ibrahim uncovered the bones of Spinosaurus, which lived and died there one hundred million years ago.

Dr Ibrahim, an anatomist and palaeontologist at the University of Portsmouth, said: “Spinosaurus is the most enigmatic and exciting dinosaur in the world right now, and we just have one skeleton of this spectacular, sail-backed, crocodile-snouted, and largely aquatic predator, hailing from an under-explored corner of the world: the Sahara.

“Resurrecting this dragon from deep time for an iconic series like Walking with Dinosaurs was obviously a very special experience for my research team – unearthing this animal has been an incredible decade-long team effort, piecing together 100-million-year-old fossils, harnessing the power of digital anatomy, and braving sandstorms, snakes, scorpions and much more.”

Episode three follows the life of George the gastonia, living in the heart of the Utah desert.

George, a young gastonia, had to stay close to his parents for protection as they came face to face with a group of predatory Utahraptors, the heavyweight cousins of Velociraptor.

The spikiest dinosaur known, gastonia belonged to the group of armoured dinosaurs known as ankylosaurs which were covered from head to toe in bony plates and osteoderms for protection.

They were also one of the few social armoured dinosaurs known, found in bone beds of multiple young individuals. Scientists believe the juveniles grew up together, so they had safety in numbers.

George was a juvenile gastonia found in the Lorrie’s Site quarry, in the Cedar Mountain Formation. His cause of death is unknown but he was found alongside multiple other young gastonia, indicating they were possibly living together.

Wilson, series showrunner, said: “’Band of Brothers’ is an emotional roller coaster of an episode.

“George the gastonia might not be the fastest or biggest of all the dinosaurs, but this armoured dino may be the spikiest to have ever lived, and he has to face one of the deadly predators of all time – Utahraptor.”

The Pack

Sunday 15 June

Teenage albertosaurus Rose is on a quest for food but is she hiding a secret in episode four.

Rose was a member of a fearsome albertosaurus pack, a group which hunted together and formed strong bonds 71 million years ago. Rose even had a mate.

Together, the pack hunted the enormous herd animal edmontosaurus but volcanic eruptions delayed the migrating edmontosaurus and Rose’s pack had to find food elsewhere.

A smaller but just as deadly as their relative of T rex, albertosaurus were the speedsters of the dinosaur world, capable of reaching speeds of more than 30mph.

Scientists have found albertosaurus buried in groups, suggesting these hunters worked together to tackle larger animals.

Rose was found in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, Alberta, Canada, and there was one final surprise at the dig site.

Palaeontologist Colton Coppock unearthed a tiny albertosaurus jawbone, “the youngest individual we have”, suggesting Rose may have been a teenage mum.

Mark Powers, researcher at the University of Alberta, said: “Albertosaurus is the faster and sleeker cousin of T rex.

“What it lacks in size it makes up for in speed and co-operation.

“No tyrannosaur has been found in such big groups as albertosaurus, making it the most likely to have lived, or at least hunted in coordinated group efforts.

“It is astonishing to see these animals brought to life like never before in what can only be described as the most accurate and life-like restoration of this once apex predator!”

Episode five follows in the footsteps of Albie the young pachyrhinosaurus.

Albie was a small, young pachyrhinosaurus, one of many found in the Wapiti Formation in Alberta, Canada.

Every year as the seasons changed, his herd made an epic migration 400 miles north to find food, braving tyrannosaurs predators and freak weather events. Along the way, multiple herds would merge swelling to tens of thousands.

Tensions would rise as the strongest bulls began to battle for their pick of their mates. One violent confrontation leads Albie to become separated from his mother.

Luckily, pachyrhinosaurus are thought to have had a remarkable way of finding each other.

Closely related to triceratops, pachyrhinosaurus did not have eyebrow horns.

Instead, they had a thick slab of bone over their nose, known as a boss, used for combat between males.

Every single pachyrhinosaurus discovered has had different horns on their bony headdress, almost like a fingerprint.

Scientists believe this unique arrangement was used by pachyrhinosaurus to identify each other in their giant herds, numbering in the thousands.

Dr Emily Bamforth, palaeontologist and curator at the Philip J Currie Dinosaur Museum in Alberta, said: “This episode is based on fifty years of research conducted at the Pipestone Creek Pachyrhinosaurus Bonebed in north-west 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 bone bed 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.”

Island of Giants

Sunday 29 June

A colossal, long-necked lusotitan, known as Old Grande, is the headline act of the final episode in search of love.

Living 150 million years ago on an island called the Iberian Meseta, he was a giant of the Jurassic period and dwarfed every other dinosaur in the region weighing more than 40 tonnes and 25 metres long.

Closely related to the Brachiosaurus, Old Grande roamed ancient Portugal when Europe was a series of fragmented islands.

His remains are still being uncovered near Pombal, Portugal, by a team of palaeontologists led by Professor Franciso Ortega, Dr Elisabete Malafaia and Dr Pedro Mocho.

He is the largest lusotitan and most complete set of bones ever found.

Air sacs and hollow bones throughout its neck and spine helped lusotitan to grow so big.

And scientists have speculated the large cavity in lusotitan’s skull, just past the nose, could have been used to inflate balloons of skin, like modern frigate birds.

This may have been Old Grande’s secret weapon to attract a mate and secure his legacy.
