I'm not sure how to ask this question, but you know how you watch a movie
about, say, the Ancient Eqyptians and one of the characters is wearing a
wristwatch. There's a word for that faux pas, which is, I think
"anachronism".
My question is, say you were watching a movie about polar bears and they
showed you, or talked about, polar bears vaching and eating Emporer
penguins.
Now polar bears are strictly North Pole and Emporer penguins are strictly
South Pole. This cannot happen.
What is the term, if there is one, for this, please?
Thanks,
Alain
