**Besides, the program does refer to the dinosaurs as animals with behaviour similar to those alive today just as often as they call them monsters. After all, fighting for survival has always been a regular part of animal life.

*** They did try to chalk this up to budget constraints, realistic feathers being hard to animate. Although some argue that since body feathers lay flush on their bodies anyway, they wouldn't have ''needed'' to make them look all fuzzy. Also, if one is making a CGI documentary over what are essentially birds, they really should at least try to get stuff like this sorted out.

''Jurassic Fight Club'' (''Dinosaur Secrets'' in Europe) is a television documentary series that aired on TheHistoryChannel. The basic plot involves [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin dinosaurs fighting]]. Each episode usually has two or more individual dinosaurs fighting with one another over food, territory or mating rights. The show is "hosted" by paleontology expert [[MeaningfulName Dinosaur George Blasing]], who plays out [[SpeculativeDocumentary his own imaginary scenarios on how the fights would go]].

** [[RaptorAttack Naked raptors.]]
** Wrong forelimb posture on all of the theropods.
** Giving a horn to a dinosaur that got famous ''because'' it lacks this feature.
** Depicting a young ''[[StockDinosaursTrueDinosaurs T. rex]]'' as a downscaled version of the adults, even though even the narrator (correctly) claims otherwise.
