** A ''Spinosaurus'' that's an exact copy of the JP model, complete with the two little "bumps" over its eyes. The real animal had one single crest in the middle of its forehead. Then again, the CGI of the animal is so [[SpecialEffectFailure abysmally bad]], they probably either just threw it together quickly or buried up an already sort-of-finished model.[[invoked]]
*** Well, next to [[Series/MonstersResurrected some other spinosaur recreations]], it looks biologically perfect.

''Prehistoric Monsters Revealed'' (2008) is a TVDocumentary by TheHistoryChannel focusing on a select number of weird [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLife ancient creatures]], their anatomy, evolutionary relationships, and the environments they lived in. The constant [[ScienceMarchesOn changes in paleontology]] are stressed throughout. Has pretty cheap effects for the scenes focusing on recreated animals.

** The {{CGI}} creatures aren't merely ''[[SpecialEffectFailure ugly]]'', they have totally wrong anatomy:
** Pronated hands on theropods. Even the animation of the raptor arm's skeletal anatomy shows the hand in this painfully incorrect position. In reality, the arm bones of most dinosaurs only allowed for very limited hand-articulation, and in the case of carnivorous dinosaurs, this caused their palms to constantly face each other.
** ''Giganotosaurus'' looking like a cheap ''T. rex'' knockoff, with a far too robust head. Oh, and it's billed as the largest theropod, two years after ''Spinosaurus'' was found to be larger.

*** Well, next to [[Series/MonstersResurrected some other spinosaur recreations]], it looks biologically perfect.
** As said above, pterosaurs wings shouldn't be floppy, since they were supported by strong fibers and muscles.
** While their ''Velociraptor'' was nice and feathered, it just wasn't feathered ''enough''. It should have true wings, for starters.
