The Future is Wild: A Natural History of the Future

Imagine the evolution of planet Earth over the next 200 million years. What creatures will inhabit the land or lurk beneath the sea? Will humans even exist? The Future Is Wild takes you on an awesome evolutionary journey, filled with amazing predictions and fascinating facts! Imagine the world in the far distant future -- a world without humans, a world so different from ours that, until now, it's been impossible to consider. What creatures will roam the land or swim in the oceans? The Future Is Wild brings to life a world of amazing creatures and sets them loose in our imagination. Based on fundamental biological and evolutionary principles, they could -- and may yet -- exist: 5 million years from now, the carakiller is the Amazon's swiftest predator. 100 million years from now, Toratons, descendants of tortoises, are the biggest animals ever to walk the Earth. 200 million years from now, Warrior terabytes disable victims by spraying chemicals at them. In five million years, Northern Europe and North America are covered by ice sheets. Only the hardiest, most adaptable species are able to survive. In 100 million years, Earth is a global hothouse, brimming with life. Another 100 million years and Earth is a single, huge supercontinent and one vast, warm ocean. Using state-of-the-art computer animation, The Future Is Wild is able to transform the imagination into actual images, creating a living world of strange creatures and extraordinary habitats.
