* LivingMuseumExhibit:

** Funnily enough, the dodo is the only creature in the him to attack David or act hostile, one nipping at him.

* ScareChord: One appens when the ''Gigantophis'' slithers by, partially obscured.

* DemBones: For some reason, ''Smilodon'' is portrayed as a walking skeleton.
* FeatheredFiend: The Haast's Eagle is an imposing predator that can take down prey as big as the titanic moa (though not sucessfully when it does in the film proper).
* GentleGiant: Many of the larger creatures react to David only with curiosity and fascination and don't attack, such as the Moa, Ground Sloth, and the'' Gigantopithecus''. Even carnivores like ''Gigantophis'' don't do such.

* ScareChord: One appens when the ''Gigantophis'' slithers by.
* SceneryPorn: The film makes some good use of the NHM setting.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: There are some notable examples.

** The ''Diplodocus'' has feathers, however small, which is unlikely.

* NotSoAboveItAll: The poised and regal David smirks like a {{Troll}} after successfully hiding from the crowds leaving and the security guard so he can stay the night.
* ScareChord: Happens when the ''Gigantophis'' slithers by.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: There are some.
* ''Gigantopithecus'' is portrayed as a sasquatch or gorilla-like bipedal form. Most evidence points to it being a pongine or at least mostly related to them, and thus would have resembled more an orangutan all all fours.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: There are some. Most infamously, its ''Gigantopithecus'' is portrayed as a sasquatch or gorilla-like bipedal form. Most evidence points to it being a pongine or at least mostly related to them, and thus would have resembled more an orangutan all all fours.

* ScareChord: Happens a lot when the ''Gigantophis'' slithers by.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: There's the giant cenozoic snake ''Gigantophis'' and the ground sloth. The small, hip to knee-high size of smilodon seen also indicates its ''S. gracilis'', the smallest of the three known species.

* GentleGiantSauropod: Dippy the ''Diplodocus'' is this.
