{{Main|Walking with Monsters}}Serving as a prequel series to ''Walking with Dinosaurs'', ''Walking with Monsters'' explores the prehistoric life of the [[Paleozoic]] era. The series focuses on "the struggle for the survival of the fittest", using stories of individual animals to cast the Palaeozoic as a long "war" between various animal groups for dominance, some of which are described within the context of the series as being distantly related to humans.
