  • Tyrannosaurus rex vs. Palaeoloxodon namadicus gives the Terrifying Tyrannosaur a frightening set of bright yellow eyes that the audience gets to see many times in a shot where the dinosaur is looking straight at the viewer. The image gives the feeling it is about to rush at the audience to try to eat them.
  • The same episode hammers in that being a herbivore does not make an animal friendly by showing real footage of African elephants attacking rhinos, and the Palaeoloxodon namadicus featured in the battle dwarfs the modern day elephant and even the T.rex.
  • The ominous shot of the Palaeoloxodon bearing down on the T.rex, showing a point of view from just behind the dinosaur illustrating how utterly huge the prehistoric elephant is.
