Line 4:
* The ''Walking with Dinosaurs'' Special about Big Al : Many people felt sad when {{spoiler|the allosaur dies still young from his injuries and starvation}}.
* The poor old [[Stock Dinosaurs Non Dinosaurs|Liopleurodon]] {{spoiler|getting beached}} in ''Walking with Dinosaurs''. This series is not kind to it's older characters.
* ''Walking With Beasts'' has also a sad scene when a young ''[[Prehistoric Life/Mammals|Indricotherium]]'' is violently driven off by its ''own mother'' as she got a new calf. The scene when the ''[[Prehistoric Life/Dinosaurs/Birds|Gastornis]]'' chick is eaten alive by ants is an odd mixture of this and [[Nightmare Fuel]], just like the aforementioned cynodonts. Still another example from ''Beasts'' is the opening with the [[Prehistoric Life/Mammals|australopithecines]] "mourning" their elder female in "Next of Kin", probably [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|because of how human they look]].
* Also in ''Walking With Beasts'', the mother [[Prehistoric Life/Mammals|bear dog]] {{spoiler|whimpering while she digs her dead pups out of the collapsed den.}}
* The entire Late Permian in ''Monsters'' is a slow journey to death for all creatures, since the infamous Permian/Triassic extinction is going to take place soon. And ''that'' was the worst mass extinction ever, the Cretaceous one coming only in second or third place : 90 % of marine and 70-80 % of terrestrial lifeforms went extinct.
