Origins of Life Video

I watched a promo video from the U.K.'s Natural History Museum in London for David Attenborough's First Life. They have some great Cambrian creature animations in this. After searching around YouTube a bit I found that they belonged to a 2010 Atlantic Productions documentary called First Life. Found on YouTube here:

Animated Ammonite

Still playing the Jurassic World game on my phones. The ludia company has opened up the the aquatic park which has creatures I actually started playing the game for in the first place to see. Very nice animations and this post shows some of the images of the ammonite. It is odd that most of the creatures on land or in the air have genus names but they when with a very generic name ammonite for this creature.

Here is an embed of a short 2 minute animation of this creature on YouTube.
