** The basic plot probably wouldn’t have happened in real life, as Arctic dinosaurs likely didn’t migrate during the winter, or at least nowhere near as extensively as shown here. Part of the reason behind this theory was that, at the time, the ''Edmontosaurus'' and ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' found in Alaska were assumed to be the same species as the ones found further south in Alberta, but not long after the film aired, the former were reclassified as being separate species from their southern cousins (with some even considering the polar edmontosaura separate genus, ''Ugrunaaluk''), along with several other lines of evidence suggesting that hadrosaurs and ceratopsians didn’t travel much.

** Same for the ''Troodon''. While it's behavior is mostly plausible, its plumage is very minimalistic, with a naked face and no wings. Furthermore, ''Troodon'' itself has been deemed a dubious genus in 2017 (due to its holotype being just teeth, which are undiagnostic on a generic level) and the giant Alaskan troodont was likely a completely different animal.
