History Series / ReallyWildAnimals

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: "Deep Sea Dive" covers the habits of the Emperor Penguin a '''SOLID DECADE''' before ''Film/MarchOfThePenguins''.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: The king of the dinosaurs naturally gets some focus in "Dinosaurs and Other Creature Features".

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Of course, the first part of "Dinosaurs and Other Creature Features" is dedicated to the titular ruling reptiles.

* NobleBirdOfPrey: Frequently appears, and is always played for awesomeness, also some [[SeldomSeenSpecies lesser known]] species appear like the African crowned eagle and white-bellied sea eagle from Southeast Asia.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: If the place in question has non-human simians, no doubt about it they will be featured prominently. Special mention goes to "Swinging Safari", where not only do they have special guest Jane Goodall but feature an entire song dedicated to how much monkeys and humans are similar.

* RaptorAttack: ''Dromaeosaurus'' (reusing the ''Deinonychus'' footage from ''Dinosaur!'') and ''Utahraptor'' both appear in "Dinosaurs and Other Creature Features".

** RecycledAnimation: This applies to the use of Spin's animation footage in Season 2. Animation from "Amazing North America" and especially "Polar Prowl" saw heavy use in the later double-feature episodes.

In the early 1990s, the National Geographic Society produced ''Really Wild Animals'', an {{edutainment}} show for kids starring a talking globe called Spin, voiced by Dudley Moore. This show was before ''Series/{{Zoboomafoo}}''; heck, this show was before ''Series/KrattsCreatures''! Its first six videos focused on the various animal habitats of the world, starting with Africa ("Swinging Safari"), Australia ("Wonders Down Under"), and the oceans ("Deep Sea Dive"). The next four in the series (where Spin receives a character redesign that sticks with him for the rest of the series) are focused on South America's Amazon ("Totally Tropical Rain Forest"), North America ("Amazing North America"), Asia ("Adventures in Asia"), plus the Arctic and Antarctic circles ("Polar Prowl"). After covering all the main animal stomping grounds of the world, the series starts focusing on different kinds of animals, starting with "Dinosaurs and Other Creature Features", which focuses on dinosaurs and creepy creatures, like bats and insects. At this point, the format has changed to essentially a double feature, focusing on two subjects, each of which gets two songs.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: "Deep Sea Dive" Covers the habits of the Emperor Penguin a '''SOLID DECADE''' before ''Film/MarchOfThePenguins''.

* ParentalBonus: Some segments are set up as spoofs or ShoutOuts of adult-friendly material. One example is a ''Twilight Zone'' ShoutOut, ''The Alien Zone'' in ''Deep Sea Dive.''

* StockFootage: Used occasionally from old movies such as Film/TheLostWorld or Film/WhitePongo. In-series, some footage from earlier videos would get reused for later installments.
