00:11Scrat is a fictional saber-toothed squirrel created for the movie.
00:15In the animation, he is portrayed as neurotic and relentless,
00:18standing about 0.8 to 1 foot tall and weighing between 2 and 4 pounds.
00:24Although he is a fictional creature,
00:26scientists in Argentina discovered Cronopio dentiocutus,
00:30a small cretaceous fossil mammal with a long snout and saber teeth identical to Scrat's.
00:35In reality, this prehistoric animal was tiny, measuring only 8 to 9 inches,
00:40about 0.7 feet, in total length and weighing just a few ounces.
