The BBC has unveiled an impressive first look at its upcoming reboot of Walking with Dinosaurs.
The iconic '90s documentary series will return to screens later this year, with each episode set to follow an individual dinosaur whose remains are being unearthed at the moment by dinosaur hunters.
A few first-look stills of the CGI recreations have now been released by the BBC, including two species – the Albertosaurus and Pachyrhinosaurus, which were respective relatives of the T-Rex and Triceratops.

The six-part show is set to bring them to life thanks to "cutting-edge science", with experts able to work out "how these prehistoric creatures lived, hunted, fought and died more accurately than ever before".
"As the dinosaurs' bones emerge from the ground, the series brings these prehistoric stories to life with state-of-the-art visual effects – making each episode a gripping dinosaur drama based on the very latest evidence," the synopsis adds.
