The makers - Jon Favreau, the BBC’s Natural History Unit, the photorealistic visual effects team of MPC ( The Lion King, The Jungle Book), and Jellyfish Pictures - have said in interviews that their primary material were reams of fossil record analysis up-to-date till the time they started filming, the experience of wildlife film-makers who have observed animals in the field, a CGI tools cornucopia, and David Attenborough.

Season 2 (which dropped this week), like Season 1, recreates the dinosaur with such lifelikeness and minute details that it is easy to forget that what we you’re watching is CGI-powered imagery juxtaposed with real natural locations. They existed on Earth 66 million years ago, and as the makers of this docuseries shows, they had mating rituals, maternal instincts and foraging methods besides being instinctive predators.
