Because the immature form of Diplodocus features heavily in the episode, I'll also include this version in the parade to show how our perspective of sauropodlets has changed since the program's production.
The episode states that Diplodocus reached adult size within one de...

And here we start moving on to the next episode in the series, with the main protagonist species, Diplodocus. Because the episode features mostly animals from the same geological formation, there's not much that needs to be changed, species-wise, although their appearances have been reva...

As the spring light descends upon the north after months of darkness, countless flocks and herds that sheltered further south for the winter begin the migration back to the summer feeding grounds of the Polar Basin. In summer, with months of nearly unbroken sunlight and warmth, the aquatic vegeta...

Now, all of them together for scale (for the record, I'm not sure the new region picked was actually still red, but gotta keep the episode colour coding intact). As you might imagine, it'll probably be a bit tougher to fit all the animals together in the next episode considering how vast the size...

And now the last one, the prosauropod (or technically, non-sauropod sauropodomorph) Plateosaurus. This is the only species that was not changed to an approximate equivalent. At up to ten metres in length and four metric tonnes, this was one of the largest dinosaurs of the Late Triassic, ...

This is the Peteinosaurus equivalent, a larger primitive pterosaur that is functionally the same role of showing the early evolution of the group. Austriadactylus specifically was picked because it lived slightly closer in time and space to the other species compared to Pete...

The unnamed lungfish from the episode... it's a slightly bigger lungfish now. Yeah, not much to say about this one. It's a lungfish. It's an animal still alive today (although not the exact genus), so it's hard to get it incorrect.

This is the cynodont equivalent... a smaller cynodont. Okay, so the story behind WWD's cynodont is a bit and complicated. It went unnamed in the episode, but the model of the cynodont was based on Thrinaxodon, which lived in the Earliest Triassic of South Africa and Antarctica. ...

Now this one is the Placerias counterpart, the Polish dicynodont Lisowicia, from the same fossil formation as Smok (and was almost certainly preyed upon it when young, known from corpolites of Smok containing crushed dicynodont bones). WWD presented
This is the Postosuchus equivalent in this revamped version, a large predatory archosaur from Poland. Its exact classification is under dispute, specifically whether it was a large carnivorous theropod or a sort of dinosaur-like "rauisuchian". Here, I've gone with the interpretation of <...

Some early concept art for the wivern drawn back in September of 2017. This is one of the animals which had its design changed the most. While I didn't dislike it, it looked way too heavy, it didn't look like something that could actually get aloft and soar across the mountain tops.
