Dino Squad	comment	After somehow becoming immortal and surviving the extinction of their species by hiding out in a cave for millions of years, two velociraptors emerge with the ability to turn into humans. One becomes Corrupt Corporate Executive Victor Veloci and schemes to use some kind of mutating formula to "genetically reconstruct all life forms and turn them back into what they rightfully should still be: dinosaurs!â€�The other raptor mentors a group of five teens who've been given the ability to change into other dinosaurs at will, trying to help them save the world from Veloci's plans.The show originally aired on CBS' KEWLopolis (really) block from September 2007 to September 2009, when Cookie Jar Entertainment (who acquired DiC a year earlier) decided to drop the show from the line-up due to the company wanting to de-emphasize the amount of DiC shows on the roster and re-naming the block Cookie Jar TV. However, in April 2010, the show returned to the airwaves as part of Cookie Jar's syndication packages.

In reality, that is the defining characteristic of warm-blooded animals, their ability to generate their own body heat, in contrast to cold-blooded animals, which are defined by their internal temperature and metabolism being wholly controlled by the outside environment.

While the main characters are humans who can change into dinosaurs (and one pterosaur) at will, and both their mentor and archenemy are hyperintelligent Velociraptors (who inexplicably gained the ability to change into people), the animals exposed to the villain's chemicals and "reverted" usually become extremely aggressive and mindlessly violent â€” regardless of the animal's previous disposition. However, only the main characters (in their transformed states) and the Velociraptors are considered "perfect dinosaurs".

Dino Squad / int_4c4bebf4	type	Artistic License â€“ Paleontology
Dino Squad / int_4c4bebf4	comment	Artistic License â€“ Paleontology: For his first experiment, Victor Veloci uses his deevolution chemical, which reverts ordinary animals into dinosaurs, to "revert" a shark into a "Mutated Megalodon"â€”except that it's actually a mosasaur, an ocean-going lizard that sharks did not evolve from, and neither of these animals are dinosaurs anyway. The show also stated that Spinosaurus's super power was Super-Speed. Given 2014 discoveries of Spinosaurus, its legs had high bone density, which was useful for buoyancy, but not much for speed. The Styracosaurus in the show is depicted as having having two brow horns that are larger and longer than the nasal horn, when in reality, it should be reversed. The official website accurately states that the brow horns should be smallerâ€”though the site made its own mistakes, such as stating that Tyrannosaurus dragged its tail along the ground like a kangaroo (which the show itself got right). In one episode, Veloci attempts to infect the clouds with primordial ooze so it woud rain down on everything and revert them into dinosaursâ€”even plants, which are in a different kingdom entirely. Caruso's Stegosaurus form has five tail spikes, sharp teeth and no beak, unlike the real Stegosaurus which, of course, had a beak, flat teeth and four tail spikes.

Dino Squad / int_9a11f9cf	comment	Informed Species: Rodger's dinosaur form is supposed to be a Styracosaurus. While he has the distinctive long spikes protruding from his frill, he also has long brow horns and a shorter one on his nose like a Triceratops. Buzz's Pteranodon form barely looks like the real animal; he has a slightly longer tail, dog-like hindlimbs, two small wing-claws instead of three (though he sometimes has three claws in some scenes), a notch in the underside of the crest, and a saw-edged bill that's hooked at the tip. And let's not get started with the Velociraptors Victor Veloci and Ms. Moynihan, whose designs are basically copied off from Jurassic Park. The first episode had a shark mutating into what was identified as a megalodon, but it looked nothing like a giant shark and was more like a mosasaur instead. One episode had a primate which is identified as a baby gorilla, which gets mutated into a "gorilla-saurus". Said baby gorilla is drawn with a tail, making it look like a monkey instead. Another episode had hedgehogs which looked more like yellow echidnas. Living in Maine, for that matter.

Dino Squad / int_b489805d	comment	Hollywood Autism: Max's classmate, Liam, in the season 2 opener. He'd frequently dispense tons of facts and was able to give the squad information on stopping mutant bees. He speaks with a robotic monotone when talking, doesnâ€™t make eye contact, and has unusual physical mannerisms. Liam also told Max that he has Aspergerâ€™s syndrome when Max asked about his aforementioned mannerisms.

Dino Squad / int_e9604359	comment	Monster of the Week: Although done differently from most such shows in that the villain simply creates the monsters to gather scientific data in order to complete his main plan to create a dinosaur-populated planet. He doesn't actually control them and usually doesn't specifically use them as part of some kind of evil plan. This leads to some episodes where the Dino Squad defeats the monster halfway through and then has to contend with Veloci, who's showed up to collect his specimen, in the final act.
