More than 230 species of carnivores currently inhabit the earth. Most of them, even the rarest, have been captured on film for this remarkable seven-part series. Some of those that became extinct, the sabre-tooth cats for instance, now live again through the powers of ultra-real animation. Sophisticated computer graphics are used to depict key physiological adaptations which enable the flesh-eating animals to gain world-wide prominence. Behavioral developments receive equal attention. After viewing any or all of The Velvet Claw programs, viewers come away with keen insights into how the carnivores evolved over the last 60 million years.
