* The Metoposaurs would shsre the ''Koolasuchus'' models.



Given the narration stated that increased volcanic activity is choking the dinosaurs' landscape, and supposedly weakened the egg shells of all kinds of dinosaurs, resulting in most hatchlings dying in their eggs or being stillborn, means that it could contribute to appearance of dinosaurs' living in area where "Death of a Dynasty" takes place. Those dinosaurs that did hatch and survive were pretty healthy, but their appearance looked either emaciated or slightly deformed. This explains why rexes from ''WWD'' looked a lot more worse for wear than those shown in ''Series/PrehistoricPark'' who lived in different part of the region, where there was less volcanic activity and better living conditions.

This could explain why they're ''Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai'' despite the movie taking place in location where ''P. perotorum'' would've been more appropriate. After all, this type of behaviour (animals crossing over different countries during their migrations) is common amongside various species of herbivores, [[https://www.lakemanyaranationalparks.com/wildebeest-migration-routes/ such as wildebeest]].

[[WMG: The reason why ''T.rex'' in the [[Series/WalkingWithDinosaurs series]] is anatomically incorrect is because of presence of the volcanic activity.]]

WordOfGod is that ''Baryonyx'' was going to appear in "Giant of the Skies", but was cut. ''Baryonyx'' was discovered in England, the implied first European stop of the ''Ornithocheirus'' in its migration to Spain. This segment is notorious for the misplaced appearance of American ''Utahraptor'', which has led some to assume that ''Utahraptor'' replaced ''Baryonyx'' in this segment during production. Well, in 1997, when the show was beginning production, a ''Baryonyx'' was discovered with fish scales and remains of a young ''Iguanodon'' in its gut. And what happens in this segment in the episode? The ''Ornithocheirus'' steals fish from a smaller pterosaur, and then watches a ''Utahraptor'' pack hunt an ''Iguanodon''. This is the guess: In the original script featuring ''Baryonyx'' rather than ''Utahraptor'', ''Ornithocheirus'' would steal fish from ''Baryonyx'', and then ''Baryonyx'', being still hungry, would turn to the ''Iguanodon'' herd and kill a youngster.

The bird is clearly the only major character with a clear cut "personality", even if you remove the dialogue, and his voice matches up best with his mannerisms without detracting from the story--it seems likely that the writers wanted Alex to be the ''only'' talking dinosaur at first, but then changed it so that all of the main ones talk.
