In ancient times: the dinosaurs are extinct. They are followed by two more spectacular prehistoric giants: the 20-meter shark Megalodon and the elephant-sized sloth Megatherium. Using modern CGI technology, international scientists draw a picture of the life and death of the prehistoric giants in the documentary. Their basis: current fossil discoveries, the latest findings and the family relationship to the great white shark and today's sloth. Central questions: What factors were decisive for the extinction of the giants? What role did competition for food, the appearance of the first humans and changing climate play? Do today's giants of the animal world face similar challenges? The journey to the “giants of prehistoric times” provides answers and unlocks their final secrets.
