This must be the piracy site they're talking about, which has the Polish(?) dub of 12 of the 13 episodes behind a paywall. It's a sketchy looking site, so I wouldn't recommend giving them your payment information... Fortunately, you can preview the first 10 minutes of each video for free and easily save those previews by right clicking.
Obviously this doesn't do much good for anyone searching for the Christian Slater narration, but all of the text remains in English and it does at least give us some idea of how Walking with Beasts was recut. It's also curious to see that Prehistoric Planet Top 10 uses clips from The Ballad of Big Al when that special never got its own episode. You would have thought that a entirely new episode would be more appealing than a clip show!
It's also worth considering that these seem to be clean copies rather than off-air recordings; they don't have any channel bugs or idents, the ad bumpers are fully intact, and they don't have any analogue video artefacts (at least, to the point where you can tell on such a low quality encode). Season 1's bumpers were cut out of the the Dino Dynasty DVD, but they're intact on these copies. Could these have been sourced from an obscure DVD or VOD release? If there is a Polish DVD it could plausibly contain the English audio.
The website is actually real, some people downloaded from it.

It is really unfortunate that they never put season 2 on DVD. Although I just recently learned that Ben Stiller did not narrate the second season.
I do, however, have all the season 2 episodes on a VHS tape that my grandmother recorded It should include all of it as well as the commercials of Discovery Kids at the time, some of which I remember quite fondly.
Oh hello there!
I just remembered that this thread existed, so I'm pleasantly surprised that there are people who are passionate about this search.
But yeah if you're able to convert it definitely upload them to the internet archive!

Also looking at the brief clips on the sketchy Polish website, yeah it looks my memory wasn't wrong about the shark making a scream. Like did that sound effect even originate in the episode (somewhere else ofc because that wasn't in the actual scene) or like was it added in by the editing team at Discovery Kids? It's been forever, since I've watched the "Walking with" series as a whole but I'm genuinely confused by that.
Update: someone on Dino Diego's server has found out that they have the entirety of Prehistoric Planet Season 2 in English.
