dinosaur

Nicky worries that he'll be really disappointed when he finds out that dinosaurs no longer exist. I don't remember getting this when I was small so it presumably happened too early to remember clearly or was gently inferred by the absence of live footage of them (compared to plentiful sightings of other sorts of beast), though the ability of modern computer-aided video to lie with regard to reality might turn out to be a problem. Whenever it comes up I shall try to explain that dinosaurs didn't all die out but that their descendants aren't particularly archetypically dinosaurish.
