Why is there grass in the filming locations for Dinosaur Planet and When Dinosaurs Roamed? There was NO grass during the dinosaur age. Couldn't the producers have put a little more effort into finding "prehistoric-looking" locations like the WWD team?
shareTell me where you saw grass. Those are ferns, plants, etc. that I saw in the series.

I haven't seen Dinosaur Planet in a while, but there's lots of grass in the episode about Pod. And 'Alpha's Egg', if I'm not mistaken...
------------------
I searched the entire world to find what I already have.
Those were other plants in Pod's Travels. Can't say about Alphas egg, since I haven't seen it aswell since around December 2003 when it premired. The only place I saw it on was in Little Das's Hunt, where the lowlands had countless dead grass on it.
The "grass" was probaly a grass-like plant that had evolved earlier. You souldn't let a small thing like that screw-up Dinosaur Planet for you.
P.S. Dinosaur Planet was BETTER than WWD.
"Smile you son of a bitch!"
Not anymore!
Scientists have discovered grass remains in a dino dung of a Titanosaurus in India a few weeks back. Thus proving that Dinosaur Planet's most major flaw (grasslands) could be eliminated if they conclude that grass didn't only exist on the Indo-Madagascar landform back in the Cretaceous.
Never knew that, thanks. I shouldn't let scientific inaccuracies ruin the series for me(Though grass wasn't an error).

That's cool. Scientists are finally discovering that yes, grass has always been here. Grass is grass! lol.
Let's go Jurassic Park 4!!!
Hehe. But the grassy areas shown in Dinosaur Planet really didn't caught my attention until someone mentioned it to me, and to me, it was just like "So..?"

Yeah, I heard that. Still, does that also mean there were grassy fields in the Cretaceous? Before this recent finding grass was thought to have evolved in the Eocene, but it didn't form fields until the late Miocene or Pliocene. Either way, Dinosaur Planet's grass is still a mistake because, if I'm not mistaken, all episodes take place 90 million years ago (except Little Das's Hunt, which takes place 80 mya), and according to the Wikipedia the grass found in dinosaur coprolites was 65 million years old. And if that isn't correct (like any other source, the Wikipedia isn't always correct) it's technically still a goof because grass didn't appear in the time of the dinosaurs according to scientific knowledge at the time the series was made.
On a side note, the third episode of Walking With Dinosaurs also has a grass shot- when the first Eustreptospondylus emerges from the forest to eat the beached Liopleurodon. That is undoubtedly a goof because said episode takes place in the Jurassic.
