** The entelodont is referred to as ''Megachoerus'', which has since been determined to be a larger species of ''Archaeotherium''. It's also given the moniker "killer warthog", as entelodonts were once considered to be close relatives of pigs but are now seen as most closely related to hippos and whales ("killer hippo" [[AngryAngryHippo would probably be redundant]]).

** The ''Deinonychus'' is depicted as entirely scaly, as this was still a full decade before we found evidence of feathers on dromaeosaurs.
** ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' is depicted with a massive horn instead of a boss, which was based on a theory that had [[RippedFromTheHeadlines just come out at the time]], proposing that its boss anchored a keratinous horn akin to a rhino. The idea was controversial though and extensive research on the animal's skull anatomy in the late 2000s eventually disproved it.

* TheMerch: Despite the show's {{Artistic License|Paleontology}}, at the time they were released, the toys for the franchise were considered some of the best, most realistic depictions of dinosaurs available ''anywhere''. [[ScienceMarchesOn Not so much these days...]] They were fully articulated, unlike most dinosaur toys, so that was cool. The distinctive-looking ''T. rex'' figure appears to have gained another life as the inspiration for Rex in ''Franchise/ToyStory''!
