** In the season 2 finale, we see what appears to be a large monitor lizard, possibly a megalania, in a cave. In real life this species was endemic to Australia, and in fact no monitors of any kind occurred in the Americas.

**Woolly rhinos, like the ones encountered in the first episode of Season 2, were endemic to Eurasia and there is no evidence they ever lived in North America. As animals adapted to tundra-steppe environments, they wouldn't exactly be at home in southern California, either, even in the somewhat cooler climate of 10,000 B.C.
**Likewise, although woolly mammoths did inhabit North America, they did not range so far south.
**In the same episode as the rhinos, we also see a "wild pig", played by a domestic pig but presumably meant to be a wild boar. Suids were entirely absent from the New World up until the age of European colonization many millennia later; a peccary would've been more appropriate for something pig-like in late Pleistocene California.
