History Trivia / IceAgeDawnOfTheDinosaurs

* ScienceMarchesOn: The film's ''T. rex'' babies hatch out from eggs more than a yard long, and are roughly the size of Sid. Recent examinations of tyrannosaurid embryos suggest that actual ''Tyrannosaurus'' eggs were about 17 inches in length, and the hatchings, roughly as big as a mid-sized dog[[note]]That said, this example also straddles the line of plain old ArtisticLicensePaleontology, since even in 2009 it was known that reptile eggs as large as those in the film would violate the SquareCubeLaw[[/note]]. [[note]]Of course technically this isn't actually a ''T. rex''. It's a separate dinosaur with 65 million years of confined evolution from whatever it's ancient ancenstors were, so YMMV.[[/note]]
