Deep Look

We're super excited to tell you about a new series from our friends at ‪@eons‬, Eons: Life and Death on Pangea. This is the epic story of the Permian Period. You’ll meet predatory amphibians, giant arthropods, and bizarre marine life, and trace how life on Earth was pushed to the brink of total collapse. (It got better). The first two episodes are out now - free on the PBS app and other platforms. to.pbs.org/EonsDL We’d love to know what you think!
