    I'm very amused by how, toward the end of the iguanadon animation over the final credits, the addition of a dewlap and back spines actually make it look more like an iguana. Everything old is new again.

    1:26 As someone from Australia, I can tell you the state/territory codes.
    ACT - Australian Capital Territory
    NSW - New South Wales (the state Sydney is in)
    NT - Northern Territory (a.k.a. Darwin/Alice Springs area)
    SA - South Australia (where Adelaide is located)
    TAS - Tasmania (I'm sure most of you know where that is)
    VIC - Victoria (the Melbourne state)
    WA - Western Australia (the entire western third, not to be confused with Washington)
    2:32 Fun fact: _Minmi_ used to be the shortest dinosaur genus name, until it was superseded (subseded?) by _Yi_ in 2015.

    Rhoetosaurus is another Australian dinosaur, this one isn't from the Early-Mid Cretaceous, surprisingly enough. It's from the Mid Jurassic actually, around 170-160 million years ago, which is a rare find in Australia. And the larger Muttaburrasaurus toy looks more like an Iguanodon.
