* Unlike most incarnations of the franchise, ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego'' uses this as its premise. Carmen is being pursued by ''two'' organizations: ACME, a crime-busting group who believes that she is an independent master criminal, and VILE, a criminal syndicate that's trying to eliminate her after she abandoned them. She works to dismantle VILE's plans in various locales across the world while finding any clues about her past.

* Early humans carried out what is known as "persistence hunting" which essentially entails just ''following'' prospective prey until said prey exhausts itself into helplessness. This method of hunting even affected human evolution; humans might not be the fastest or the strongest on the block, but the human ability to stay on their feet and just keep walking is ''insanely'' high compared to quadrupeds, most of whom ''will'' eventually have to stop and lay down for an extended period. In fact, persistence hunting is theorized to be the origin of the indigenous peoples of the North and South American continents, as northern Asian hunter-gatherer tribes followed wooly mammoth packs across the frozen and exposed Bering Strait, only for said strait to thaw out and become submerged as global temperatures rose, leaving the tribes permanently where they were.
