Scenes from scross the island contient of western North America are showcased.
* BookEnds: Like Season One's ''Coasts'', the episode features a ''T. rex'' on a beach hunting and a tyrannosaur feeding its babies.

!! The T. rex and ''Quetzalcoatlus'' segment provides examples of:
* GlassCannon: ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is much lighter and frailer than ''Tyrannosaurus'', but its beak can inflict serious injury with one peck and its much faster and more agile than the lumbering theropod. This quality is made even greater when a second Quetzalcoatlus appears on the scene, and their attacks prove too much for T. rex to tolerate.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: The ''T. rex'', harrassed by a duo of ''Quetzalcoatlus'', eventually gives up the fight and leaves the carcass it was feeding on to the pterosaurs.
* LifeWillKillYou: The old ''Alamosaurus'', far too big for any predator to be killed, dies of old age, lying down on the beach to never get up again, providing a feast for carnivores.
* PeacefulInDeath: When the old male ''Alamosaurus'' passes, he just slowly lies down as if he has made peace with his fate.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: The story of this segment focuses on the corpse of a recently-dead ''Alamosaurus'' being fought over by scavengers.
* TheRival: It's implied that T.rex and ''Quetzalcoatlus'' regularly come to blows over scavenging privileges.

!! The Western Interior Seaway segment provides examples of:

!! The Pectinodon segment provides examples of:
* ItCanThink: As fitting for troodontids, the baby ''Pectinodon'''s quickly figure out that running into the swarm of brine flies with their mouths open is the most effective way to catch them.

!! The ''Triceratops'' segment provides examples of:
* CurbStompBattle: The duel between males is a decidedly one-sided affair in favor of the older male, whose brow horns are not only longer and thicker than his younger opponent, he outweighs the younger male by four tons and has far more fighting experience.
* DentedIron: The old male is covered in scars that mark him as an experienced combatant, including a snapped brow horn, a broken epijugal horn, and a chunk of frill missing.
* OldMaster: An older, battle-scarred male is one of the two main players in this segment. Unsurprisingly, he curb-stomps his younger rival.
* RayOfHopeEnding: The young male's perfect horns are ruined by older male during a fight, ensuring that he will not have any chance of attracting females in the current mating season. But David Attenborough notes that this may have been a blessing for next mating season since the young male's horns will heal and this time, it will have attractive battle scars to impress females of his fighting experience.
* StrongAndSkilled: David Attenborough notes that the older male ''Triceratops'' knows how to use his superior size and strength against his younger, inexperienced and relatively smaller opponent when fighting during the ''Triceratop'''s mating season.
* StrongerWithAge: ''Triceratops'' are depicted as continuing to grow larger as they age, with a thirty year-old male weighing over ten tons and with massive brow horns, on top of the experience to use his strength effectively in battle.
* TemperCeratops: Unlike the more plavid depiction scene, the segment highlights the aggressive intraspecific interactions of male ''Triceratops'' during their mating season.

!! The ''Nanuqsaurus'' and ''Ornithomimus'' segment provides examples of:
* BookEnds: The episode, and by extension the series ends with a segment with a tyrannosaur and its offspring.
