message: Does anyone remember a similar program, featuring penguins evolving into whale-like creatures and bats becoming terrestrial hunters?  I've been looking for it everywhere.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.162.49.186 (talk) 20:56, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Call this a stupid question if you will, but does this article truly belong in :Category:Nonfiction television series? It is meticulously researched and very cleverly put together, but that does not make it any less ficticious. — Mütze 22:26, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: predictions based on a scientific theory that hasn't even been fully proven... sounds like fuction to me...--64.217.19.125 05:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:   This show is basically science fiction.  It's based upon scientific principles, but the storylines, the future climates, and the animals are ALL fictional.  Step into a time machine & would you find Poggles or Giant 240,000 turtles?  Of course not.  Are you going to find a tropical planet?  No.  Because nobody knows what the future will hold.  It's fiction.  Like an Isaac Asimov or Robert Heinlein novel, except about animals instead of people.  -  Theaveng 23:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

text: This is fiction.  It is not real.  Look up the definition if you're not sure.  It offers a good basis for the theory, but that's all. --MartinezMD (talk) 08:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Couldn't we write 5 million, 10 million, etc, instead of 5000000? That's somewhat awkward.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe Schmedley (talk • contribs) 00:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Article says that for a time in 2005, there was a Japanese theme park based on the premise. I'd love to hear more about that, perhaps it even warrants its own article. Sadly, the claim is not sourced. Trappleton 09:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It is indeed "Terabyte" despite what some of us, including myself, have thought previously.  One can go to http://www.thefutureiswild.com/flash/index.html and look at the creatures for confirmation.  It is under 200 million years in the future in the central desert.  So, in order to prevent future disagreement, I decided to end this debate once and for all by providing the link here. --Marsbound2024 16:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: One line in the section DVD product information is "Magna Pacific, the company contracted to market the Future is Wild series to Australasia, originally planned to release the 3-DVD set in May." Could someone clarify whether 2006 or 2007 is meant? Based on context, I am assuming 2006. samwaltz 09:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: On the episode list for the 2007 series it says "Season One" does anyone know for sure there will be other seasons?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Futurewildfan (talk • contribs) 05:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The world is very hot, octopuses have come onto land, and there are enormous tortoises. Much of the land is flooded by shallow seas. The surrounding land has become brackish swamps. Antarctica has drifted towards the tropics, and once again it is covered with trees, as it was 300 million years before.</font>
Is this time line wrong. Antarctica move to south pole 360 million years ago, the article said 300 million years ago it suppose to be 500 million years ago. Is it a mistake, or is this just me? And also the article said for Antartica to be back at equator by 100 million year-time, if Antartica move north it won't be that far north by 100 million year, at most it will be where Australia is now.--209.129.85.4 (talk) 20:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

message: We have "Poggle, the last mammal, living inside mountains". Does this mean (a) it's the last mammal to live inside mountains (but there are other mammals), or (b) it's the last mammal of all, and it lives inside mountains? --Stfg (talk) 17:56, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia's own definition of a documentary film states, "A documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education, or maintaining a historical record."  Since TFiW is speculation, would it be more accurate to be a film of speculation, presented in the format of a documentary film?  Best regardsTheBaron0530 (talk) 18:16, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be a reception section or something for the actual TV series? With reliable sources saying what critics and scientists from those said sources actually say about it, how they feel about it? What they think about the show's animals from an opposing side? 2600:1700:9770:6760:DC7D:8FBB:CED8:ABCF (talk) 17:07, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
