What Was the First Predator on Earth?

This documentary reaches back to the dawn of animal life to ask what the first true predator on Earth actually was. Drawing on cutting-edge paleontology, it explores the ancient seas where hunting first evolved and the creatures that began to eat one another. It reconstructs a pivotal moment when the food chain as we know it began. Fascinating and well-researched, it opens a window onto the deep prehistoric past. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
