NOVA | Rise of the Mammals | Season 46 | Episode 17This is how science is done. This PBS NOVA show is from 2019 but I don't know of any significant changes. This video is on the PBS website. I don't know if it can be viewed from outside the U.S. Maybe someone outside the U.S. can check it and let me know? Thanks. www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/rise-of-the-mammals/
Rise of the Mammals Amazing fossils reveal how mammals took over after an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.
PREMIERED: 10/30/19 RUNTIME: 53:27 TOPIC: EVOLUTION
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs in a fiery global catastrophe. But we know little about how their successors, the mammals, recovered and took over the world. Now, hidden inside ordinary-looking rocks, an astonishing trove of fossils reveals a dramatic new picture of how rat-sized creatures ballooned in size and began to evolve into the vast array of species—from cheetahs to bats to whales to humans—that rule our planet today.
There is also this "international" website. Maybe it is for outside the U.S. pbsinternational.org/programs/rise-of-the-mammals/

Maybe legumes didn't just help mammals grow large. Maybe they also helped to make butterflies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=viTE77xIji0 PBS Eons Beans And Bees Gave Us Butterflies Dec 5, 2023
Turns out, instead of having bats to thank for the existence of butterflies, the groups we should actually be thanking are…bees and beans.
