Planet Dinosaur is a six-part documentary television series produced by the BBC, narrated by John Hurt, first aired in the United Kingdom in 2011, produced by VFX studio Jellyfish Pictures. It is the first major dinosaur series for BBC One since Walking with Dinosaurs. There are more than 50 different prehistoric species featured, and they and their environments were created entirely as computer-generated images, for only a third of the production cost that was needed a decade earlier for Walking with Dinosaurs.

Inaccuracies[edit]

  • The feathers on the feathered dinosaurs are attached to the third finger in the series. In real life, it was the second finger.
  • Saurornithoides, Troodon, and Bradycneme all lack wings.
  • Stegosaurus is seen chewing its food. Only hadrosaurs can do that.
  • The model for the pterosaurs in episode 1 and episode 5 are the same, only recoloured.
  • The same above applies with the Rahonavis and Sinornithosaurus, although they are very anatomlically similar.
