For years we have explored history through the eyes of the people that lived there... but now it's finally time to hear what the animals have to say! Get ready to journey back down the path of human history and uncover the tracks of the animals who lived through it, too. From the greyhound who had a paw in the formation of the Church of England to the bravery of Alexander the Great's mighty warhorse to the tiny fleas who started the black death, this is history as it's never been told before.
