*** This. If Buck's counterattack broke the tooth socket as well as dislodged the tooth it held, Rudy's jaw may have sealed over that socket entirely as the fractured bone healed, preventing a new tooth from advancing into the lost one's place.

** Assuming she ''was'' annoyed, it's possibly because she just [[DudeNotFunny didn't appreciate]] how candid they were being at a moment when it looked like they were all going to die horribly. Keep in mind that they weren't just laughing, they were ''cracking jokes'' about their predicament. Yes, part of that was probably due to the influence of the gas, but I still wouldn't blame Ellie for finding their behaviour mildly upsetting.

[[folder: The Pterosaur’s Attack]]
* Why did that one blue pterodactyl go to attack the possums even after dodging several berries before? He could’ve had himself knocked down by more berries as he flew up to them. It makes no sense.

** I think the OP may have been referring to how the T-Rex got them there in the first place.

[[folder: When Did Buck Almost Die?]]
* Just how long before the third film's events did Buck have his near-fatal encounter with Rudy? Carnosaurs like Rudy replaced their teeth when they were damaged, yet he's still missing a tooth in the film.
** It's to make the character distinctive and to give a visual aid as to why they're rivals in the first place. Plus, it makes Buck more awesome.
*** Also note that Rudy has a scar where the tooth used to be. Buck might have done permanent damage that prevented a tooth from growing there, making for even more reason for a grudge.
** Last year?

[[folder: Why was Ellie Mad?]]
* Why was Ellie mad at Manny after he and the others got out of the helium/laughing gas? He asks her how much she heard and she says she heard everything. I didn't hear him say anything about her? Was she mad about what he and Diego had said to each other?
** She's ''not'' mad, they're merely embarrassed because they were being stupid and she overheard them.

[[folder: Ice, Ice, Babies]]
* How did the eggs wind up in the ice cave in the first place?
** Think about it. Where's the safest place to hide vulnerable unhatched offspring from predators? Somewhere they would never go. Hence, cave. It's not Mama's fault Sid decided to [[strike: adopt]] steal them.
** The simple answer is that there's multiple ways up and Mama used a different one. Maybe she even blocked it off so nobody but her could get to it.

[[folder: Questions About the Fight with Rudy]]
* FridgeLogic: Mostly the context of the fight VS Rudy - a) how did he know to wait for them in that cave? and b) how did he even fit inside in the first place without wrecking the cave door? He's HUGE!
** Rudy is supposed to be intelligent and he was tracking them.
** He was not exactly ''there'' in the cave that leads to the LostWorld, his roar is just loud.

[[folder: Gas Sass]]
* When everyone was acting goofy after inhaling the weird gas, was it because it was making them high or were they just showing off their helium voices and getting stuff out of the way because they think they're going to die?
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Dear Sir or Madam]]
* How did everyone know that Rudy was a boy and the T-Rex was a girl?
** For Rudy, Buck refers to him as male, and he's the most likely person to know. Even if he's wrong, none of the other members of the herd would have the knowledge to correct him. As for Momma T-Rex, the characters could just assume that she's female because she's the only parent who comes looking for the eggs originally, and behaves toward her offspring in a way the surface creatures would associate with mothers, rather than fathers.

[[folder:Ellie's Body Image]]
* How come in this movie Ellie takes offense at being called round, but in the previous movie, she liked being told she had a big butt?
** Pregnancy mood swing?
