Other mistake: The way Sid interacts with the whale's blowhole is illogical in relation with the manner the water is being discharged. When viewing Sid up close, it is seen that the water stream is divided and outspread due to Sid's manner of blocking parts of the blowhole with his body. Despite that, when viewed further away the water stream is intact and traveling straight ahead. Once the water stream is seen doing just that, the following shot shows a boar getting hit by it as if it somehow hadn't already occurred, not only that, but the stream of water that was displayed in that shot was delimited, despite the water discharge never being paused and Sid never changing positions. When Sid starts rotating, delimited streams of water are seen traveling in various directions one at a time, when there should have been multiples at a time according to what is viewed when close to Sid.

Question: After the saber-tooth squirrel named Scrat was eaten by a shark, how did he get out of it?
Answer: Because he is a survivor and this is a cartoon. There were plenty of other times through the series scrat was put in a deadly situation only to return later. In the first movie alone he was trampled by a dinosaur, electrocuted with a lightning bolt, and frozen in ice until he thawed near the volcano thousands of years later.
