Visitors to Six Extinctions will come face to face with some of the top predators of each geological period including Dunkleosteus, a giant armoured fish that terrorised the seas and Inostrancevia, a tiger-sized sabre-toothed beast.
From there they will explore the five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history, and the sixth and current extinction crisis – climate change – which is the first caused by a single species, humans.
Produced by Gondwana Studios.
