| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) | comment |
The Future is Wild is a franchise focused on the possibility of how life would evolve in the future, focusing entirely on three distinct eras: an Ice Age 5 million years into the future, a wetter, warmer era 100 million years from now, and a period 200 million years ahead in which all the continents have merged into one. Starting as a book co-written by Dougal Dixon (who also wrote After Man: A Zoology of the Future), it was later made into a TV miniseries aired by Animal Planet, being a Canadian/European co-production. Eventually, it became popular enough to spawn a children's animated series; being made entirely in Canada, it lacked the detailed models of the miniseries and added cartoonish animal CGI models. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son!" Guy: C.G. wants to impress her father and make him proud. The problem is that he is cold, stern, aloof and serious, especially towards his daughter. Not helping with this is that he at first doesn't approve of C.G. brnging "Primitives" aboard the Time Flyer. He does get better though as C.G. and her crew proved their worth for the mission throughout the series. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Some of the predictions are, to say the least, less than likely. For instance, it's quite unlikely for all mammals to be simply outcompeted into total extinction by other vertebrates in the way depicted in the show, and certainly quite impossible for arthropods and cephalopods to totally displace vertebrates in general in all large animal niches. | |

Carnivore Confusion | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_27a58d30 | comment |
Carnivore Confusion: Since every single animal is sentient, carnivores are portrayed as villains, ranging from genuine Affably Evil examples into at least one full fledged evil monster without a mind of its own. This is despite this being averted in the documentary-style minieseries, however, where many carnivores are portrayed sympathetically. Averted in the show itself on one occasion: a carakiller was portrayed as sympathetic in "Monkey Brains" and Gill and Butch, the lurkfish, are just hilarious. | |

Named After Somebody Famous: C.G.'s birth name Cassiopeia, meaning "she whose words excel", is the name of an infamously vain Queen from Greek mythology. Apparently, one or both of C.G.'s parents really like Greek mythology and give her that name thinking it would be great for her and its aforementioned meaning does suit her very well. | |

Also the Deathbottle, an enormous carnivorous plant, though since it can't actually move, it's more like "Names to Stay at Least Five Metres Away From at All Times". | |

Giant Flyer | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_67677940 | comment |
Giant Flyer: The Great Blue Windrunner. The sources don't seem to agree on its size; some offer a realistic approach at 3 meters (about the same size as the largest modern flying birds), but the official site states a wingspan of 15 meters, which would make flight impossible given how thin the atmosphere is at the altitudes it flies at and how narrow its wings are (though it can increase the wing area by raising its legs, which have wing feathers). | |

The Hunter Becomes the Hunted | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_8fcb5843 | comment |
The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: 100 million years in the future, the predator/prey roles in the Antarctic Jungle have reversed, and bugs now prey on birds instead of the other way around. The Ocean Phantom preys on small aquatic creatures such as young Reef Gliders. Reef Gliders that make it to adulthood become its predator, and the Ocean Phantom requires help from Spindletroopers to fend them off. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: Planetary Species Extinction. In the US release, humans simply left to settle/live in space. The probes documenting the various creatures were sent by them/their descendants. In the UK release, humans are extinct but it's never said exactly how they went extinct. In nature, there are two ways an animal can become extinct: by being killed off, or by evolving enough that you're eventually considered a different species. The US version and the UK version are not mutually exclusive: humans could have gone off into space and diverged into multiple "alien" species over the millions of years, thus rendering Homo sapiens to be extinct while leaving other species of humans alive. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: This causes some species to go extinct. Terabytes have it in the literal and trope sense. Most of the castes are overspecialized in their job to the point where their legs are vestigal or even completely absent. As such, they require a transporter caste to carry them around. | |

Bizarre Alien Locomotion | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_9adcd93a | comment |
Bizarre Alien Locomotion: The ocean phantom uses extensible sails to direct its journeys via wind power. The megasquid's numerous walking-tentacles give it a unique gait. Most terabyte castes are Too Important to Walk, but are carried by the transporter caste. | |

Chest Monster | |
| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_a51467fe | comment |
Chest Monster: The Spitfire Beetle acts as this to the Spitfire Bird — four of these assemble into a fake flower to attract the bird, and then they jump on it and take it down. The Deathbottle's top looks and reeks like a rotting fish , which attracts the Bumblebeetle. Thankfully for the bug, this one isn't lethal to them. | |

Refreshingly averted in many cases. The Snowstalker reastically flees after the Gannetwhales bombard it with their vomit, the Deathgleaners give up on attacking the baby Rattleback after its mother charges them, and the Falconfly flees after the Spitfire Bird starts squirting it with reactive chemicals. Granted, the Snowstalker does wound a Shagrat and track it down until it dies from blood loss, but this is a Real Life tactic that many predators use. | |

Super-Persistent Predator: Refreshingly averted in many cases. The Snowstalker reastically flees after the Gannetwhales bombard it with their vomit, the Deathgleaners give up on attacking the baby Rattleback after its mother charges them, and the Falconfly flees after the Spitfire Bird starts squirting it with reactive chemicals. Granted, the Snowstalker does wound a Shagrat and track it down until it dies from blood loss, but this is a Real Life tactic that many predators use. Played straight with the Sharkopaths, who aren't deterred by the Rainbow Squid's invisibility cloak, use their sense of electromagnetic detection to locate it, pressure it into panicking, before the school tears into it. | |

| The Future Is Wild (Franchise) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: If you're a juvenile Toraton, then walking straight into a nest of amphibious squid, with a highly venomous bite, may not be such a good idea. The lost baby Scrofa, that, separated from its parents, runs out into the salt desert until it dies of heatstroke. When it was already on a safe place among the rocks, at that! | |

Cockroaches Will Rule the Earth | |

Cockroaches Will Rule the Earth: Not cockroaches per se, but the series ends with the implication that the descendants of squid will evolve into a new civilization. It's squid that get this treatment, with the tree-dwelling ape-like squibbon implied to be the ancestor of a future sapient species of squid people (or "squeople"). | |

Irony: "These strange creatures are called Babookari." Yeah, compared to tree-swinging squid, jumping snails, flying fish, acid-shooting birds and dinosaur turtles, a blue-assed baboon would look really strange. To be fair, the babookari appears in one of the first episodes, whereas the more bizarre animals appear later in the show. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Spindletroopers are said to grow a metre across, yet when compared to the adult reef glider — which is three metres long — only look to be a few centimetres in length. Possibly justified if the majority of 'troopers aren't fully grown. | |

Light Is Not Good: The Sharkopaths, whose yellow bioluminescence fits them well. They're very ferocious and co-operative predators that viciously hunt and kill the more gentle Rainbow Squid. Also, one of the main problems for life in the high plateau is ultraviolet radiation, and thus both the Windrunner and the Silver Spider reflect it, looking as if glowing in blue and silver light respectively. | |
