Re: footage of Tyrannosaurus biting into another animal anyone?

[Steve Walsh <steve.w@c-point.com>]

While "The Truth about Killer Dinosaurs" was made by the BBC it is 
not part of the WWD series. "Killer" figures combat between 
Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops but "Walking" does not - the closest it 
comes is when an already felled juvenile Triceratops figures as part 
of a Tyrannosaurus pairs' foreplay.

I understand that the Discovery Channel has the rights to WWD but 
does this apply to "Killer Dinosaurs"? I can see no mention of it on 
the Discover Channel website. It may well be available for licensing. 
Alternatively Dan's suggestion of Tippet's "Prehistoric Beast" is a 
good one - it's beautifully done though of course its stop motion not CG.
