How Mount Vesuvius Destroyed Pompeii | Ancient Splendours Of Rome

Over one hundred years ago, a humble shepherd named Inathio Lucas carved a remarkable bestiary into a simple drinking horn while watching over his animals in the mountains of Spain. Through simple line drawings carved with a pocket knife, he documented over fifteen wild and domestic species that shared his everyday environment. This documentary explores those very animals, tracking the lives of Iberian wolves hunting in small packs, red deer fighting brutal battles during the autumn rut, and stealthy nocturnal predators like the genet, pine marten, and golden eagle. From the armored wild boar roaming dense oak forests to mother bears protecting young cubs from dangerous rivals, this journey bridges the gap between human history and the untamed wilderness of the Iberian Peninsula.
