* CanonForeigner: In the original show, Nigel encounters a total of three prehistoric creatures while in Late Cretaceous Montana - ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', ''Triceratops'', ''Ornithomimus'', and an unidentified pterosaur that reuses the model of ''Nyctosaurus'' ([[AccidentallyCorrectWriting this was before it was confirmed that nyctosaurs survived this late into the end of the Mesozoic]]). Here, he encounters and rescues members of quite literally ''[[UpToEleven every species known to inhabit the Hell Creek Formation, as well as some speculative ones, and even a lost pair of Alamosaurus]]''.

* AdaptationExpansion: Holy friggin' hell yes!
** Certain scenes from the original are featured in greater detail - Nigel's examination of the ''T. rex'' nest, for example, includes a brief appearance of the Troodontid ''Pectinodon'', as well as ''Troodon'' itself, which are searching the nest for either eggs or small mammals to eat.
** Nigel's escape from the ''Tyrannosaurus'' pack is extended to include a brief encounter with a group of ''Thescelosaurus'' and ''Acheroraptor'' - [[CurbStompBattle both of which are easily caught by Nigel and his camera crew]].
** A completely original scene has Nigel arriving at a prehistoric beach as a group of Cretaceous sea turtles ([[SeldomSeenSpecies Toxochelys, to be exact]]) arrive to spawn, with Nigel sending them back to the present. A brief return to the beach sees the rescue of several beached sea reptiles.
** Lastly, there's ''well over a dozen {{Canon Foreigner}}s'' that get rescued in this episode.

* FeatheredFiend: A set [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] examples consisting of ''Acheroraptor'', ''Dakotaraptor'', and even ''Tyrannosaurus'' itself.
* GiantFlyer: ''Quetzalcoatlus'' fills this role, being a pterosaur the size of a giraffe.
* GracefulInTheirElement: {{Defied}} by the ''Quetzalcoatlus'' - while they are certainly capable fliers, they are also ''very agile on land''.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: A flock of ''Quetzalcoatlus'' get into a fight with a pair of ''Dakotaraptor'' over eating Nigel, but all of them immediately bail out once a female ''Tyrannosaurus'' shows up. Said ''rex'''s appearance is also enough to send a pair of ''Alamosaurus'' packing, even though the sauropods are too big to be prey for the giant sauropods.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Multiple prehistoric crocodilians show up in this story. However, they're nowhere near the most dangerous predators in this era.
* SeaMonster: A group of ''Mosasaurus'' are briefly encountered, having ended up beached. Nigel rescues them without hesitation.
* ShoutOut: ''Montanaspinus'' is a reference to the ''VideoGame/{{Saurian}}'' meme about said fictitious spinosaur, included because the author found the joke amusing.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The adult female ''Tyrannosaurus'' makes it back to the present in this story. She is named [[MeaningfulName Sue]] after the best known ''Tyrannosaurus'' fossil at the time of writing.
