** And speaking of Francis, it's implied that George Fennec made shoes for Francis based on experiences related by his [[spoiler:formerly-human]] wife Danielle, extracting the leather for it from a carcass he had as a hunting trophy.

** Lindesfarne is shown a series of quills belonging to Princess Chertsey. Without even using any of her equipment, she is immediately able to tell them what the DNA looks like, "[[http://kevinandkell.com/2004/kk0115.html down to the last gene]]." It should go without saying that DNA strands are not visible to the naked eye, or even to a light microscope (one using lenses and normal light). DNA is only "visible" to an electron microscope.
** For that matter, ''hedgehogs do not have quills.'' Quills, like in a porcupine, are thin, barbed, and detachable. Lindesfarne's design (and Chertsey's) mirror that of a porcupine. Hedgehogs have ''spines'', which are thick, white, and a permanent part of their body outside of occasional shedding. Not shockingly, Lindesfarne is incorrectly portrayed as having the porcupine quills and behavior patterns, with the weak explanation that she "became an American porcupine" by being adopted (which was later revealed as a lie anyway, but a biologist like her should have known that.) For that matter, Chertsey, who never Americanized anyway, still appears as a porcupine despite supposedly being an English hedgehog.
