Iguanodon was a quite large animal, often being over 10 meters long, and quite heavily built. The one Carnotaurus specimen we have is around 7 meters and a half long, and the Square Cube Law points towards it being just a fraction of a grown Iguanodon's mass.


* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The ''Carnotaurus'' was nowhere near as big, bulky and ferocious looking as they are here. To name a few differences, they were only slightly bigger than the ''Iguanodon'' and their arms were much smaller and stuck out from the sides. They were also built lighter for high-speed running, contrasting their more weighty depiction in the film.

* UngratefulBastard: Upon making to the lake, which appeared to be empty, Kron tried to get the herd to move on, despite Neera's objections that half of the herd will die without water. Fortunately, Aladar learns that water is buried beneath the dirtbed surrounding the lake and digs up a big hole for everyone (including the old dinosaurs) to drink, saving the herd enough energy. However, Kron is far from being grateful as he furiously tells Aladar and the other dinosaurs to move out of the way as he hogs most of the water to himself, much to Aladar's outrage.
-->'''Aladar''': Kron, look. All we had to do is dig and-
