neato! I guess they had to secure the originals, in case wear and tear could hurt 'em... I saw one of the alking specials, and it was a hoot! I didn't know there was more than one. :)

Here are the other specials...I've only seen the first one. Don't know how the others are:

There was a "Raising the wooly mammoth" special that was excellent..but Netflix doesn't have it. People were talking of the time, of seeing if they could recreate a mammoth from the DNA. I'm kinda glad they didn't...I fear people wouldn't treat it right. :(

When I was a boy, I wanted a wooley mammoth even more than a dinosaur as a pet.

I'd treat it right... feed it lots of long grass and buttercups. :)

They advertised the mammoth special for 30 days before airing it. I was so excited. :D

You would, too! I'd help, for sure.

Just recently, there was talk of bringing some sort of big animals to America - for free roaming. EXCITEMENT! but, we have people that I bet would try to hurt them somehow. :P

I can't imagine buffaloes roaming the open plains like they did at thier peak in the west... that must've been a n amazing thing, seeing a sea of giant beasties all out there together.

Wouldn't it??

Here's the first article I read on it: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/08/0817_050817_animal_park.html

Here's the one where they backed off:

It would've been awesome!
