101. France[]
In France, Nigel is dub by Edgar Givry, a French dubbing artist. Another version called "Safari Prehistorique", literally translated "Prehistoric Safari", is dubbed by another dubbing artist, but the voice of Nigel is kept, and the dubber talk a bit after Nigel talk. This version has a lot of scenes when Nigel don't talk, and scenes that are not in the original documentary.
The two specials had been seen on France 3, a famous french TV channel. They where both sold in a single DVD called "Sur la Terre des Dinosaures : Les inedits", which mean "Walking with Dinosaurs : Specials".
The DVD contains the two series (Chased by Dinosaurs/Sea Monsters ).
