If I had to guess, I would say biology & zoology primarily, and there was definitely a marine biologist. There was nary an insect specialist in sight, and definitely no physicists. The geology looked like it was taken on faith from websites, but was at least reasonably good.No, I'm not a scientist - I just knows 'em when I sees 'em.Food Chain: There was no food chain. Some of the animals simply lived on air, like the sabre toothed wolverine's babies (I still can't believe that, after showing a modern wolverine lifting and carrying an entire carcass with it's neck, the future sabre-tooth left the carcass behind).The squids were inaccurate on so many levels, I'm not sure where to start. When the first mammals crawled onto land, they changed drastically in appearance. The squids flattened out a bit, but otherwise did not. If I were in charge of the squibbon creature design, I would have modelled them on a kind of acrobatic sloth, with a long, hooked pair of limbs, several short, powerful limbs designed for shifting weight, and an enhanced crest (for protection). And what happened to their jets? At the very least, I'd think those might evolve into poison spitters or (whackier) air vents for a bit of extra push or firing darts.</blockquote>
