Line 141:
* [[Rule of Funny]]: As awkward as such moment are in a documentary, this show does have a sense of humor, as animation allows for much better timing than filming real animals would.
* [[Science Marches On]]: The discovery that mosasaurs likely had tail flukes was published just as the mosasaur models were finished up.
** ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20191102145450/http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2012/04/04/yutyrannus-a-giant-tyrannosaur-with-feathers/ Yutyrannus]'' shows that large tyrannosauroids were feathered as well as smaller ones.
* [[Sea Monster]]: ''Tylosaurus'' and ''[[Everything's Even Worse with Sharks|Cretoxyrhina]]''.
* [[Seldom-Seen Species]]: A refreshing lot. There are ''Cryolophosaurus'', ''Sinraptor'', ''Eoraptor'', ''Torvosaurus'', ''Majungasaurus'', ''Rahonavis'', ''Miragaia'', ''Glacialisaurus'', ''Mamenchisaurus'', ''Rapetosaurus'', ''Lusotitan'', ''Shunosaurus'', ''Gigantoraptor'', ''Draconyx'', ''Cedarosaurus'', ''Guanlong'', freakin' ''Dinheirosaurus''... But the most interesting examples are the non-dinosaurian ''Saurosuchus'', ''Anhanguera'', ''Castorocauda'' (a water-going mammal relative), ''Volaticotherium'' (the Jurassic "flying squirrel"), ''Probelesodon'' (a non-mammalian cynodont), ''Zalambdalestes'' (a small placental mammal), ''Ischigualastia'' (a dicynodont), ''Inostrancevia'' (a gorgonopsid), ''Cretoxyrhina'' (a shark), and the (by modern standards) ungodly large frog ''Beelzebufo''. Many of these were discovered [[Real Life Writes the Plot|while the show was still in production]].
