He also believes that his being an Honourary Uncle to Peaches is his third chance to try and successfully be involved in the raising of a child to adulthood. This could be an explanation for why Sid is more optimistic than Diego and Manny- he has more faith than them that Roshan is alive. When Sid can no longer be with his "kids", he realises that you cannot protect children forever, and believes that Roshan may be somewhere out there still, and if he is, he can fend for himself. Both of these elements of the plot resulted from Sid's grief and guilt over losing and not being able to protect Roshan, and thinking that he would never see the human baby he rescued again. Also in the third movie, Sid reveals himself to be very lonely, and adopts the three dinosaur eggs. It wasn't just because Manny lost his first son. In Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Continental Drift, Manny acts as an Overprotective Dad who won't let Peaches go out places alone or grow up, because he let Roshan do just that, and then Roshan's whole species died out before Manny could ever see him again. Now, Diego, Sid and Manny still hope that somehow Roshan is alive, but have tried to forget about him as they know that he has probably died. However, after The Meltdown, it was still common belief or knowledge amongst the animals that humans were extinct. Then, when Manny first met Ellie, he was not only overjoyed to learn that he wasn't the last mammoth, but he figured that if his species was not completely extinct, there could also be a chance that Roshan was still alive. That would have added to Manny's depression during the earlier scenes of the movie- coming to terms with the fact that Roshan was, most likely, dead. It may also be a reason why most of the animals were convinced that mammoths were going extinct during The Meltdown- they had already seen humans, and other species like the Dodos, disappear, and therefore knew from experience what extinction really looked like. The humans died out after the first or second movie (or the animals at least believe so)This could explain why Roshan hasn't come back, and why humans have never been seen or mentioned after Ice Age. you do know there is no such thing as a "calvinosaurus"?.Calvinosaurs are more likely upsized carcharodontosaurids. A young Calvinosaur would have no problem swallowing a mammoth whole. The "ultrasaurs" represented here appear more like brachiosaurids, size at shoulder 7.3 m, giving us an adult Calvinosaur size of approximately 36.5 m. Their appearance clearly suggests that they belong to the Tyrannosaur genus ◊, with a head approximately 1/5 of total body length. Calvinosaurs can swallow an ultrasaur whole ◊.Thus, it falls to reason that the dinosaur in the movie is in fact a juvenile Calvinosaurus, having not yet reached its adult size but old enough to reproduce. The Internet tells us that mammoths measured between 2.7 m and 5 m tall at the shoulder, far too large for a 4 m tall T-rex to swallow whole. This image ◊ shows that the dinosaur's head is slightly shorter then a mammoth's height. The mama dinosaur in Ice Age 3 is not a T-Rex.
