*Conclusion:*
The documentary fast-forwards to the present, highlighting how birds have evolved to dominate the planet, taking ecological niches once filled by mammals. The narrator concludes by explaining that only the bats, descendants of ancient mammals, have survived into this era, akin to birds being the last dinosaurs.
**Narrator:**
"From the terrifying predators to the head-butting herbivores, our ancient Earth was a realm of uncertainty and wonder. As we look to the skies, we are reminded that life, in all its forms, is ever-changing, evolving through time and space."
*Closing Scene:*
The series ends with panoramic views of the modern era, showing dominant, flightless birds in various habitats, a testament to the ever-continuing story of life on Earth.
**Narrator:**
"And so, from the ashes of the past arises the future, a tapestry of life woven from the threads of extinction and survival."

Prompt: Write a seven-part documentary "All Todays", which is about Earth life as incorrectly/inaccurately reconstructed (while also being plausible for the time), just as humans have done with dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and other extinct life (for example, the humans would be incorrectly depicted as shrink-wrapped and scaly pure herbivores that butted heads with their domed heads), with their anatomy, colors, and lifestyles being inaccurate. Each episode would be around 45 minutes long (being narrated by an unseen and unnamed narrator, who would have no knowledge of the true appearance and lifestyle of any of the Holocene animals) and would take place in seven continents taking place 85 million years before the series' present times (the series taking place during the Holocene period), showcasing extinct life from Australia (the main animal of this episode being the scaly, ear-less, bipedal-running kangaroo), Antarctica (the main animal of this episode being the scaly, trunk-less, fully-terrestrial elephant seal), Asia (the main animal of this episode being the scaly, trunk-less, ear-less elephant), Europe (the main animal of this episode being the scaly, earless, lip-less leopard), South America (the main animal of this episode being the scaly, feather-less, lip-beaked rhea), North America (the two main animals of this episode being the scaly, ear-less, lip-less, hyper-carnivorous bear and the thin, scaly, ear-less, nose-less, snake-eyed, head-butting, herbivorous humans), and Africa (the main animal of this episode being the pack of scaly, ear-less, lip-less lions) that lived during the Holocene. The final episode (the seventh episode, taking place in Africa) would, near the end of episode, feature the mass extinction of the Holocene (depicted as an asteroid-impact extinction event like what happened with the non-avian dinosaurs and other extinct late Cretaceous life, but occurring off the coast of west Africa rather than the Gulf of Mexico, unlike the late Cretaceous extinction event), showing the extinction of the mammals, before the end of the episode timelapses into the series' modern era, where the birds have almost fully replaced the mammals (with the bird species that replaced all non-bat mammals being flightless, dominant, etc), while the narrator would say that the bats (incorrectly stated to be descendants of mammals, despite being mammals themselves) are the only group of mammals to survive to modern times (just like how birds are the only group of dinosaurs to survive into the Cenozoic, including the Holocene). The series would be photorealistic and have naturalistic wild environments, but also having inaccurate Holocene animals (humans, bears, wolves, cougars, lions, deer, bison, cattle, sheep, goats, antelopes, tapirs, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, hippos, pigs, rabbits, Holocene birds, etc) created for this documentary with CGI and practical effects, just like how the 1999 Walking with Dinosaurs was made.
