History ShownTheirWork / WesternAnimation

** Unlike in a lot of fiction, the dinosaurs and pterosaurs are clearly warm-blooded being able to survive (albeit with some problems) and stay active in cold weather. And yes, there ''was'' snow and winters during the Mesozoic era.

* ''WesternAnimation/MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur'': In "Belly of the Beast":
** Lunella compares Devil's anatomy to those of birds, since he is related to them as they are both theropod dinosaurs. However, she notes later with surprise Devil has an extra stomach, which is more characteristic of your ruminant herbivores. Justified as he isn't, strictly speaking, [[BizarreAlienBiology an Earth dinosaur]].
** She also mentions [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactobacillus lactobacillus]] as one of the "good bacteria" in Devil's digestive microbiome.
** Additionally, she nerds out over Devil's villi, which increase his small intestine's surface area to absorb more nutrients.

** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E4LisaTheBeautyQueen Lisa The Drama Queen]]", Juliet's Creator/JohnGrisham-loving dad puts on the album of Music/JamesHorner's score for ''Literature/ThePelicanBrief'' - track 3 is indeed called "Researching The Brief."

** While Mutt looks more like a hadrosaur than a ''Muttaburrasaurus'', he is shown as bipedal and lacking an ''Iguanodon''-like thumb spike, which ''Muttaburrasaurus'' is believed to be in real life. Meanwhile, the ''Iguanodon'' and ''Ouranosaurus'' are correctly portrayed as quadrupeds.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'' is actually a very insightful series that puts great detail into describing the behaviors and facts of animals: female lions do most of the hunting, woodpecker finches use tools to catch insect larvae in trees, elephants can communicate through infrasonic rumbles and the males leave the herd when they're fully grown, Komodo dragons use their tongues to smell, stoats use a hypnotic dance to lure rabbits and change fur color in winter, spotted hyenas are ferocious hunters and not cowardly scavengers (and its scientific name is ''Crocuta crocuta''), basengi dogs cannot bark and are used by the tribal Pygmies of Africa to hunt more stealthily, camels store fat in their humps and not water, emus are hunted by wedged tailed eagles, octopi are highly intelligent and can solve complex problems, female hornbills stay inside dens in trees to hatch their eggs while their mates give them food, baby orangutans are dependent on their mothers, hippos have to keep themselves submerged in water during the day because they have no sweat glands and are also the most dangerous animals in Africa and not the cute, lazy bums as Eliza's cousin, Tyler, erroneously thought.

** While Mutt looks more like a hadrosaur than a ''Muttaburrasaurus'', he is shown as bipedal and lacking an ''Iguanodon''-like thumb spike, which ''Muttaburrasaurus'' is believed to be in real life.
** The female ''Pteranodons'' [[BizarreSexualDimorphism don't look the same]] as the male ones. Petrie's mother is much shorter and has a much smaller crest than his uncle, which is something rarely seen in media, even in a documentary.

** In "Oral Report", Squidward tells [=SpongeBob=] that "statistics show that public speaking is the number three cause of stress right behind death and marriage." While there are more stressful events (such as having a divorce or flunking a class), it's been proven that talking in front of a class ''does'' have a high stress rating.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "[[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE24JudgementDay Judgement Day]]", Harvey Dent develops a third personality called "The Judge" that suffers a vigilante complex separate from his other two halves [[spoiler: and eventually declared the dominant Harvey "guilty"]]. People with Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiple Personality Disorder very commonly have more than one extra personality living in their mind, and it's also not unusual for one or more of the identities to want to kill one another.
** Minor villain Baby Dahl appears to be perpetually a child of approximately six. This is indeed a rare condition, most famously carried by Gary Coleman. Dahl also has an "adult" voice she rarely uses -- the result of practicing such a voice, rather than puberty. The episode also features her post-fame failure, an all too common trend among child stars.

** An odd case; at one point in the seventh film, Sierra makes a paddling motion with one foot while [[KidNappingBirdOfPrey carrying Ducky in the other]]. While this was definitely [[PteroSoarer not something pterosaurs could do]], it is behavior displayed by modern birds of prey when they're carrying particularly heavy loads in their talons.

** Patrick's stupidity came about as a result of the fact that starfish don't have brains in real life (though sponges are brainless as well, SpongeBob having one was just a case of ArtisticLicenseBiology and RuleOfFunny).

** SpongeBob's budding and filter feeding are actual biological processes used by sponges, as is the fact that SpongeBob is (according to WordOfGod) asexual.
** The show has shown a few times and even used as a plot point the fact that SpongeBob and Patrick can regrow their limbs, which both sponges and starfish can do in reality.

** The stock footage used for an infant SpongeBob in "Your Shoe's Untied" is of a real-life sponge offspring.
