Synopsis:

Wild New World takes us on a journey into the prehistory of North America, to a time 14,000 years ago when people were first entering this vast and beautiful continent. Long-extinct animals come back to life and meet modern-day animals face-to-face as lions encounter woolly mammoths, giant ground sloths browse the tree-tops in the tropical South and a sabre-tooth cat loses a confrontation with a humble skunk! Follow in their footsteps on a detective story which uses clues from the wildlife and landscapes of the present to build a picture of the distant past.
