Taken from http://iceage.wikia.com/wiki/User:SNA/Memo/Facts I made this wiki article and the research as well.
Glaciar period
* the ice age period refers to existence of ice sheets, so technically we still live in the ice age because of their existence in Greenland and other places?
* that in Earth's history, there have been at least 11 ice ages?
* the last ice age was around 11,000 years ago and was called "The Great Ice Age", time where the films take place?
Creatures living during the Ice Ages
* that mammoths lived from around 4.8 million to 4,500 years ago?
* that sabre-toothed cats are usually called sabre-toothed tigers although they aren't related to nowadays tigers as there have been 2 main branches of felines, sabre-toothed ones and modern cats?
* the creatures thawing out from ice cubes in the second film couldn't have been frozen since when they lived no place in earth was capable to generate ice?
* that Dodos became extinct in the 1600s?
* the work Dodo is slang for "a dull-witted, slow-reacting person"?
* that mammoths are neither related to mastodons nor are the ancestors to modern elephants?
Ice Age film series
* that the hand sign the baby does when he sees the UFO in the first movie is a reference to Star Trek?
* the neanderthals in the first film never actually speak, as a matter of fact, no Blue Sky Studios film has shown actual speaking homo-sapiens to date?
* Sid was originally meant to be a con-sloth and hustler?
* Scrat was only meant for appearing in the intro sequence for the first film but he showed to be a popular character in test-screening and producers decided to add him in more sequences?
* that the drawings of the characters at the end credits of the films are made by children of the employees of Blue Sky Studios?
* that when Ellie and Manny meet for the first time, Manny introduces her to the herd saying her name although Ellie never said her name to Manny?
* that condors don't eat acorns?
* the "laughing gas" from the third movie is technically impossible to exist, because if it were helium it'd impossible to it to stay near the ground and the only gas with that property is sulfur hexafluoride and it actually makes the voice sound deeper?
* that when creating the second film the working title was "Ice Age 2: The Meltdown" but the creators decided to remove the "2" because it wasn't a second part but rather a completely new story?
* Smilodon is the only species in the series that has not seen a female character?
