* ArtisticLicenseGeology: The depiction of the Triassic period supercontinent Pangea in ''Prehistoric Life'' shows what would become Australia being attached to the southern cone of Australia, with the narrator explaining that this was the reason they had animals in common. In truth, South America, Antarctica, India, Africa, and Australia were part of a region of Pangea called Gondwanaland, which became a separate supercontinent over time. They would've been connected relative to their positions today. An animated depiction of continental drift depicted in other episodes portrayed the drift more accurately.
