Paleontologist Jack Horner and his colleagues explain to the dumbfounded viewers that a ''third'' of their beloved dinosaur kinds [[Science Marches On|they grew up with]] didn't actually exist as valid genera/species, but really represented the different growth stages of a single dinosaur.

* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]: The trope befalls ''T. rex'' itself: it is pitch black with a bright red face, similarly colored accents on its back and stripes on its tail.
** Male ''Triceratops'' have bright blue streaks on their body, and their frill is bright yellow with orange patterns on it.
** In a scene near the end of the program, ''Pachycephalosaurus'' is bright blue with an orange dome.
** Finally, there is a ''Dromaeosaurus'' that is blue with white spots. It appears briefly in two or three scenes.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: A mild case, what is obviously ''Dromaeosaurus'' is shown living with the later ''Triceratops'', ''Pachycephalosaurus'' and ''Tyrannosaurus''.
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: To quote Horner on ''Triceratops'' horns, "The last place you want a defense organ is on your head". Evidently, he's never heard of rhinos, buffalo, bison, goats, deer, antelope, etc.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Feathered Fiend]]: The aforementioned ''Dromaeosaurus''.
* [[Leaning
* [[Raptor Attack]]: The ''Dromaeosaurus'' that briefly appears lacks primary feathers.
* [[Real Is Brown]]: Averted.
