Entelodon/Archaeotherium

This article states that the entelodont in episode 3 is an Archaeotherium. This is incorrect. It has been identified as an Entelodon in expanded media - for example 'The Complete Guide to Prehistoric Life'. It seems this edit has been around for a while, but I'm gonna revert it. I mean, come on, Archaeotherium didn't even live in Mongolia.--DiplodocoidsruleMacronariansdrool (talk) 21:58, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Accuracy

It would be great if some info on the accuracy, or lack thereof, of the depictions of the various species could be included. --Batamtig 08:17, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I can't think of any real mistakes, other than the one about Phorusrhacos's time...61.230.78.55 13:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Ambulocetus has only been found in Pakistan, not in Germany. Andrewsarchus and Embolotherium have only been found in Mongolia. If we're going by the television show, where episode 2 is set in Pakistan, then Moeritherium and Apidium are in the wrong location, as both have only been found in Egypt (if I recall correctly, the book is set in Egypt.) The whole Phorusracos shenanigans. Probably more.--DiplodocoidsruleMacronariansdrool (talk) 21:53, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Phorusrhacos's Time

I saw a complaint in one review to Amazon.com saying that Phorusrhacos went extinct millions of years before Smilodon ever existed. Phorusrhacos actually lived in the Miocene epoch, not in the Pleistocene. So maybe we should add a section about Phorusrhacos's time, no, I'm making the section now. GBA 04:29, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Some guy keeps adding his made-up hoax episode "Vimmy Animal" to the article. Dora Nichov 01:21, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

What are on earth is hoax "Vimmy Animal" is it? User:4444hhhh

Episode articles

I think it would be pretty awesome if you could have one article for each episode.

That wouldn't be necessary... Dora Nichov 09:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Crocodile in first episode?

I don't remember a crocodile in the first episode. However, I think I know what you guys were thinking. There was a scene were the Ambulocetus was swimming in the lake and then this animal swam away. I'm pretty sure that animal was a fish not a crocodile. Besides, the narrator was talking about how the Ambulocetus swims differently from fish. Can someone make sure what the animal was? Radical3 17:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I can confirm from multiple viewings (owning the DVD helps, different narrator from the BBC's original broadcast) that it was a crocodile. -- Majin Gojira 21:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, sorry. I just don't remember seeing the crocodile in the episode. Radical3 23:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Similar series about Pleistocene America?

I remember seeing part of a WW type documentary during a vacation set on Pleistocene America. An episode took place on the Great Plains, where two Columbian mammoths engaged on a fight only to be trapped by their own tusks and die of suffocation; they fell then over a coyote (yeah, it sounds stupid, but unlike in WwD/B/M there were cuts that showed the fossils in which the scenes were based on and it was real. There was then a pack of American maneless lions chasing donkeys, bison and zebras(??) that later had to fight a shortfaced bear to defend their capture. The shortfaced bear, described as a carrion-eater, followed then the odor of a death bison to a cave in the basement and died after being trapped there. Other episode talked about Florida, showing llamas, tapirs, mastodons and sabertoothed cats. Does anybody what this series' name is and how many episodes are? I can't find info about it on any place. Some animals looked differently but there was a BBC-WwD style on it everytime.--Menah the Great (talk) 00:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Budget

Does anyone know the film budget on this? And how much money they ended up spending on it? TeePee-20.7 (talk) 02:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Indricothere

I check the beasts website before it was redecorated and found out it wasn't indricotherium, it was Paraceratherium User:Puncharoo 08:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Paraceratherium IS Indricotherium for goodness sake! Dora Nichov (talk) 00:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Brontothere

The brontothere was called both brontotherium and the other one I don't know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puncharoo (talk • contribs) 12:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

No it wasn't. If you know anything KL the brontothere is Embolotherium, it's totally obvious. Dora Nichov (talk) 13:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Brontotherium and Embolotherium are the same animals, they might have made a mistake for the way the animal looks, not to mention the brontosaurus and apatosaurus are the same. User:Puncharoo Read my page first 13:58, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Wrong. They were both brontotheres, but not the same. -_- Dora Nichov (talk) 11:53, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Lion

The lion was called european lion, here is the link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Loner (talk • contribs) 11:58, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me, Mr Loner, but if you really knew as much as you claim to know, you'd know, quite easily, that "European Lion" and "Cave Lion" are the same animal. Repeat, The. Same. Animal. Thereby, we are right and you are wrong. CBFan (talk) 12:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Anothr unmentioned 3d prehistoric animal in episode 6

I saw some kind of antelope that looked like a prehistoric animal (not the big nosed atelopes) it's in the part after the mammoth was trumpeting at first in the summer. Rodimus Rhyme (talk) 12:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You mean Unidentified prehistoric deer, the creatures on the grassy plains of the future North Sea? I always thought they were supposed to be female Megaloceros. Jerkov (talk) 16:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

See also

The See also section currently contains the following:

The following are similar programs, produced by the BBC:

   * The Lost World (2001)
   * Primeval (2006)
   * Prehistoric Park (2006)

The last two are not BBC productions but there are some production links between them. Possibly this is just down to an American tendency to assume all British factual programming is made by the BBC. Primeval was actually widely interpreted as ITVs response to the BBC's relaunch of Dr Who.

I will remove the BBC reference. --Ef80 (talk) 19:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
