Giant Monsters (TV Special)

Giant Monsters is a 2003 American-Canadian television documentary special hosted by Jeff Corwin. It features Corwin travelling across America looking for the largest prehistoric animals, providing information on how they lived by studying their modern-day relatives while also having run-ins with the latter's giant ancestors. Jeff also provides information on gigantism and the ups and downs it brought for these massive creatures, such as how it gave them an advantage over other animals and how it also may have been the cause of their extinction, and how we can prevent this from happening to some of the giant animals we have today.[1] After its initial airing, the special was altered into a new version, which consisted of numerous redoings of specific scenes. These include re-shootings of certain scenes and changing or adding some pieces of dialogue and narration, which included removing some important information, and presenting the creatures in a different order.
