* What is carrion made out of and how did the Dinosaur Train dining car get a hold of of it? Is Buddy eating some of his dinosaur friends? That explains why we never see some of them again.

* Okay so... TimeTravel is a reality in the dinosaur society. It's so commonly used that the various dinosaurs react to time travelers in pretty much the same way as they would with tourists. Than again, it's basically the writer's way to avoid Temporally MisplacedWildlife, which is fine.
* PlotBunny: Suppose a few dinosaurs miss the train, and the local train station only gets a train at very rare random intervals. They decide to start a new family in their new time and end up creating a new occurrence of their species either before their actual appearance, or after their extinction. Time paradox at its purest.
* in (Mom Was a Kid Once episode, Tilly, mom’s was childhood friend. mom said she “you haven’t aged one bit” Tilly replied “well that what the time travel train will do for ya “
** Remember, the show is for children who are just learning to identify different animals by name. But the producers did kind of acknowledge this idea. There is an episode where Tiny accidentally leaves [[CompanionCube her favorite toy]] in a friend's nest before boarding the train (it is rescued by another pterosaur) and that's more than enough drama for the target audience.
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eshanosaurus That might have happened already.]]
*** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakapil And it looks like it happened again.]]
* In the episode "Back in Time", the Conductor explains that ''Dimetrodon'' is a synapsid, a group of animals that includes mammals. The accompanying image on the projection screen shows silhouettes of modern mammals, even though none of the characters present know about the Cenozoic.
