History Trivia / Dinosaur

** The primitive primate ''Purgatorius'' (although not remotely similar to the film's lemurs) was thought to be from the Cretaceous while the film was in production but has since been reevaluated as being from the early Paleocene.

** The ''Pteranodon'', despite being accurate for its time, is shown dip-feeding (snatching food from the water with its beak) and rearing its young like birds. It's been proven that ''Pteranodon'' would be more likely to catch food by swimming (its prey was noted to be rather small, so dip-feeding would have been impractical) and that baby pterosaurs would have been able to take care of themselves when they were born. The ''Pteranodon'' species featured in the film is also usually called ''Geosternbergia'' nowadays.

** The ''Velociraptor'', ''Oviraptor'', and ''Gallimimus'' depicted were very accurate for the time, but nowadays it's known all of them would've been covered in feathers (notably, feathers were considered for some of the dinosaurs in the concept art stages, but even then only thin fuzz, whereas they should have thick coats and wings).

* CrossRegionalVoiceActing: The Latin American Spanish dub was recorded in Venezuela and Mexico. Unlike similar examples, however, the reason for using Venezuelan voice actors were more petty: It turns out Disney refused to reach a deal with the Mexican voice acting studio in order to receive a better pay, so Disney dubbed the rest of the film with Venezuelan voice actors. It also remains the only mainstream Disney film dubbed, through partially, in that country.

** ''Oviraptor'' was assumed to be nest raiders when they were first discovered, and named appropriately. Then it turned out, thanks to new technology, that the eggs they are usually found with contain baby ''Oviraptor''. This discovery was made several years ''before'' the movie. However, this discovery does not completely rule out the inclusion of eggs in an ''Oviraptor'''s diet. Later research revealed ''Oviraptor'' nests containing embryonic bones from other species, as well as its own, suggesting that it may have eaten eggs after all...
