Dawn of the Age of Mammals

Longer, more info-heavy video answering a simple question: how did the age of mammals begin? Who were the predecessors of Megatherium or Smilodon? What were they like? All that and more are answered, along with plenty of tongue twisting scientific words, confusing taxonomic families, and way too many ‘rodent-like, tree climbing generalists’.
