In the sixth and final episode of the first season of Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, titled "Mammoth Journey," viewers are taken on a journey with a herd of woolly mammoths as they migrate across the ancient landscape. Using cutting-edge computer-generated imagery, the episode brings to life the sights and sounds of an Ice Age world, where mammoths roamed freely and thrived in their environment.

The episode begins by introducing viewers to the concept of the annual mammoth migration, which was essential to the survival of the species. As the seasons changed and the weather grew colder, the mammoths would begin their journey across the tundra in search of food and shelter. This was a dangerous, epic trek that could take months to complete, and involved crossing treacherous terrain and battling harsh weather conditions.

As the mammoth herd makes its way through the wilderness, viewers are introduced to a variety of other prehistoric creatures that coexisted with them, including cave lions, giant deer, and even human hunters. The mammoths' journey is not without its obstacles, and they must navigate through narrow, winding canyons and across frozen rivers in order to reach their destination.

Throughout the episode, the narrator provides fascinating information about the biology, behavior, and social structure of the woolly mammoths. For example, viewers learn that mammoths were highly intelligent animals that were capable of complex social interactions, and that they communicated with each other through a variety of vocalizations and body language.

As the journey continues, the mammoth herd faces increasing challenges: one of their number dies from exhaustion, while others are lost in a fierce storm. Eventually, they reach their destination: a vast grassy plain where they can graze and rest until the next migration season.

"Mammoth Journey" is a thrilling, immersive episode that takes viewers on a stunning virtual tour of a world that existed tens of thousands of years ago. Through its vivid imagery and expert commentary, the show brings to life the majesty and mystery of one of the most iconic prehistoric animals, and gives viewers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Ice Age megafauna.
