Prehistoric Planet 2 trailer reveals new dinosaur stars of Apple series

Apple TV Plus’ landmark natural history series Prehistoric planet The second season of Jurassic World will be released later in the month. A new trailer gives a glimpse at the brand-new dinosaur species that are set to make their first appearances.

The star of the show may well be the mighty Quetzalcoatlus, a giant pterosaur about the size of a light aircraft that’s believed to be the largest flying creature Earth has ever seen. The trailer features a Quetzalcoatl named after the Aztec serpent-feather god Quetzalcoatl. A pair of Quetzalcoatlus face off with a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Exciting!

Watchers can also see the Isisaurus (a long-necked Sauropod) that lived on a volcano in what is now India and Pectinodon from North America, which looks like a large bird. According to the press release, the show will also feature early mammals, lizards, and snakes that lived alongside dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period — including the incredibly named Beelzebufo, a giant frog from Madagascar with a bite as powerful as a tiger’s.

Prehistoric planet’s imagined documentary style, featuring CGI dinosaurs, pays tribute to the classic 1999 BBC and Discovery series The Walking With Dinosaurs. It’s a collaboration between Apple and the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, the famed production team behind Planet Earth. Like that show, it’s narrated by official British national treasure Sir David Attenborough, who at the age of 96 — 96! — has just released his final on-location documentary series, Wild IslesIn the U.K.

Prehistoric Planet 2,Like its predecessor, a new episode will be released each day over a period of five days. Apple TV Plus will premiere it on May 22, 2015.
