  • Where would modern seas end up? (I imagine with Killer Whales, White Sharks, and possibly other large whales, it would fit at 4 or 3, maybe even 2, if such a show were to be made somehow.)
  • Would Killer Whales as dangerous predators show up all that well to future fossil searchers? (Since a lot of the success is due to behavior, which might only show as a large brain.)
    • With luck, beached killer whales could leave fossilized stomach contents, and with even more luck, those contents could be of other top sea predators (sea lions, sea elephants, great white sharks) and whales.
  • How much behavior is missing from other creatures that have been found, and how much of a lack might that mean in the understanding of past creatures? (Obviously, paleontologists have to guess a lot, and for this show, the makers guessed a lot, some of it quite exaggerated, but this questions does have me wondering if some guesses are wildly off, or whether big differences in behavior might be playing into how things actually worked out in prehistoric times, that might completely change how understanding of past creatures works.)
