* AdamAndEvePlot: A variant. The segment ends with a male and female ''Zalmoxes'' adrift together on a natural barge sailing away from Hateg Island, with the implication that they'll survive long enough to make landfall somewhere else and have offspring. Attenborough's narration speculates that they may establish a new population that may, with time, eventually evolve into a new species.

* MisplacedWildlife: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with the above-mentioned ''Alcione''. Its fossils are only known from North Africa, but as present-day seabirds tend to have fairly wide-ranging distributions it's not too unreasonable to speculate that the same may have been true of nyctosaurid pterosaurs (especially seeing as Hateg Island wouldn't have been terribly far from North Africa at the time).
