* AccidentallyCorrectZoology: The first animatronic dinosaur shown indirectly in the show is a silhouette of a moving ''Brontosaurus'' in a video. At the time of the documentary it was accepted its real name was ''Apatosaurus'', but in 2015 the name "Brontosaurus" returned valid again.

** It's worth noting that Piero Angela himself and his programs have always been very popular in Italy: he's been present almost since the beginnings of the TV in this country in the 1950s, more precisely in the Italian public network (the RAI). It used to be the host of the first TV news-broadcastings, before starting the franchise ''Quark'' in year 1981. According to many critics and TV experts, his success among people of every generation (from elderly to children) is also due to his typical ability to explain even the most complex technical/scientifical arguments with a familiar household language, and to his courteous yet nice manners when presenting himself to the public. Alberto, too, has herited these abilities from the father, and since TheNineties has also become a well-known host of scientific/educative RAI programs, and seems expecially popular among the younger audiences. Worthy to note is that was just the series ''Planet Of Dinosaurs'' that launched him for the first time in TV.
