Across frozen snowy forests, under the scorching African Sun, and into the ocean’s darkest depths, the film explores why animals are the way they are and answer the simple but essential questions that form the basis of our knowledge about the Animal Kingdom.

Welcome to the lost prehistoric world of Gondwana.

From the Permian through the Jurassic, journey to the south polar landscapes of Antarctica hundreds of millions of years ago. Roam the primitive forests and thick swamps with bizarre dinosaurs and colossal amphibians. Enter a surreal world of bug-eyed giants and egg-laying mammals—where survival means enduring the sunless, six-month polar winter surrounded by meat-eaters with night vision. Join intrepid Antarctic scientists on a quest to understand the ice continent’s profound transformation—and to predict the future as humans drive dramatic change. Welcome to the lost prehistoric world of Gondwana. Welcome to Antarctica.
