The AWESOME Speculative Biology Documentary You've Never Seen

I saw this on the discovery channel where it was called Anatomy of an Alien. It's still one of my favorites. FYI the Cambrian animations come from a show called Planet of Life. I liked all the episodes, but the Cambrian animations come from the Ancient Oceans episode. It's not technically spec zoo, but the Cambrian is so weird it feels like spec zoo.

Another lost classic of speculative, but plausible, alien life is 2005's "Extraterrestrial." There were two episodes each featuring a different alien world: Episode 1: Aurelia Planet Aurelia is a tidally locked world with the niche of trees occupied by animals. They are photosynthetic and very treelike animals but still mobile. Episode 2: The Blue Moon The Blue Moon is dominated by forests of kilometer high interconnected trees. Additionally, the atmosphere is much denser than that of Earth. Hence, flight is much easier. Above the canopy of the Pagota forest are vast clouds of aerial plankton fed upon by sky whales.

It's surprising to know there's so much good content on the matter.

Just watched this documentary weeks ago and man does it need more attention. It’s seriously a great start for those into alien life and speculative evolution, like me of course. The fact that Dougal Dixon starred in it as well is just charming.

Cheers mate perfect video to start off the week

You should do a video about the universe episode of alien faces

I’ve just watched it !! There’s a version without the subtitles but the last five minutes is missing!!!! It was cool brought back some pleasant memories

Hello Mr. Qu Good to see you do stuff. Looking forward to more. :_thequ:

I just want to say ‘ALL TOMORROWS” is the best thing I got into all year !! It’s still worming thru my brain !! Thanks mate merry Christmas

I remember watching this in 98 when I was in Highschool

It predicted the existence of an SS Attenborough!! There’s a naval version now, so the precedent is set! 😂

I will definitely be watching this a dinner time also This is going to sound weird but I love the sound of your voice if I can’t sleep I like to put on one of your book reading video

Remember seeing it when i was a kid in the 90s all the way in Anchorage on the discovery channel haven't even thought about it since the 90s

Thank You 😊
