* FalselyAdvertisedAccuracy: An unfortunate example is the giant Carboniferous spider, thanks to some very bad timing. The spider was supposed to be ''Megarachne'', who (as the name implies) was envisioned as a giant spider since the '80s, but while WWM was in production, a second, more complete specimen of ''Megarachne'' was described [[ScienceMarchesOn and revealed that the animal was actually a misidentified eurypterid]]. As the animation was already completed, the producers simply rebranded ''Megarachne'' as an indeterminate mesothelian, an extant group of spiders whose fossil record goes all the way back to the Late Carboniferous, but there is no evidence that any of them grew anywhere near as big as ''Megarachne'', thus making the Carboniferous spider in this series [[CartoonCreature an entirely fictional animal]].

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: The penultimate segment (Late Permian) shows a giant Siberian gorgonopsid (''Inostrancevia'' by all accounts) coexisting with the South African ''Rhinesuchus'' and ''Diictodon'' (the northernmost fossils of the latter are from China). Fast forward to 2023, and we described a new species of ''Inostrancevia'' called ''Inostrancevia africana'' from...yup...South Africa.

* ReCut: The program originally aired as a 90-minute TV movie, and then as three half-hour episodes with small cuts made throughout. Creator/DiscoveryChannel used the movie version for their American dub, but the regular DVD release uses the episodic version. In the UK, the movie version was later released on DVD as a Reader's Digest edition.
* ScienceMarchesOn: The show uses the older classification system where land vertebrates are divided into amphibians (must lay eggs in water), birds, mammals, and reptiles, where reptiles include any land vertebrates not in the other groups. Biology has switched to phylogenetic systems where groups are defined by having a common ancestor. "Amphibian" is technically not a group in this system, but like "fish" is still useful to describe creatures with certain characteristics. The "mammal like reptiles" on the show are no longer called that, or called reptiles, instead "synapsid" is the official name. "Reptile" is reserved for diapsids, the other descendants of vertebrates with hard shelled eggs, to avoid including mammals and better match the word's everyday meaning.

* ScienceMarchesOn: In the show all amniotes (aka vertebrates laying eggs with shells) are called "reptiles": in cladistic sense, however, only ''three'' are fully qualifiable as reptiles. ''Euparkeria'' and ''Proterosuchus'' are archosaur-relatives, distantly related with crocs, dinosaurs, and maybe turtles; ''Petrolacosaurus'' was a basal Diapsid, not closely related with any modern reptile but still one of them. On the other hand, ''Scutosaurus'', being an Anapsid, is often considered a "near-reptile" more than a proper reptile today. The six Synapsids here (''Dimetrodon'', ''Edaphosaurus'', the gorgonopsid, ''Diictodon'', ''Lystrosaurus'' and the therocephalian) are all named with the outdated definition of "mammal-like reptiles", but are actually totally outside the reptilian evolutive branch.
