* PteroSoarer: The Pterodactyls surprisingly avert this, since they don't pick you up with their feet and are even called "pterosaurs" in the Pterodactyl's description. The species as a whole appears to be ''Pteranodon'', however, which was a seagoing species and most likely didn't soar over land.

* MisplacedWildlife: An interesting subversion in the case of Camels, an African and Asian species, which appear in the Outback, which is Australia in all but name. In true AluminumChristmasTrees fashion, however, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_feral_camel camels really CAN be found there]], having been imported by the British for transport and construction during the 19th century.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The Jurassic world, the first Space Zoo world unlocked, has [[AnachronismStew mostly Cretaceous dinosaurs]] with two non-dinosaur species mixed in.

* StockDinosaurs: The Jurassic world species are, in order of unlocking, ''Parasaurolophus'', [[RaptorAttack Raptor]], ''Triceratops'', ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', ''Brontosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''[[PteroSoarer Pterodactyl]]'', ''Stegosaurus'', and ''Dimetrodon''.

* GottaCatchThemAll[=/=]LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are 64 different animal species so far, each with at least 8 different skins (except the four one-off Epic Animals). This means at least '''512 animals''' can be encountered in-game, though some can only be unlocked when their species' enclosure is upgraded enough or by [[SecretCharacter completing certain tasks]]. A full list of animals can be found [[http://rodeo-stampede.wikia.com/wiki/Animals here]].

* [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Everything's Better With Gorillas,]] [[EverythingsBetterWithLlamas Llamas,]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins And Penguins]]: They can be found in the Jungle, Mountain, and Tundra worlds, respectively.

** The way in which the game categorizes “big” and “small” animals depends on whether or not seals or owls can smash them, as opposed to using their actual weight. As such, some pretty odd decisions are made; yaks are classed as big and buffalo as small, even though they weigh about the same in real life, and hippos are classified as small, despite being one of the largest land animals today. Even in terms of sprite size, the polar bears appear smaller than the brown bears, when it should be the other way around.

* BrutishBulls: Surprisingly averted with the Cape Buffalo, the first animal you ever lasso. This is despite the fact that cape buffalo are ''extremely aggressive'' in RealLife and are regarded by some as the most dangerous of the Big 5 game animals of Africa. Though when their enclosure is upgraded enough, Buffalo charge forward briefly as soon as you lasso them, smashing through anything in their path from trees to rocks to [[FoeTossingCharge other animals.]]

** And outside of the Space Zoo, there's the classic PolarBearsAndPenguins in the Tundra, and Asian tigers and African hippos in the same Jungle.

* PantheraAwesome: Lions in the Savannah world, Tigers in the Jungle world. Both can eat certain types of other animals - and ''you'' when they get angry.

* ShoutOut: Too many to list, especially with the unlockable animals. Those that aren't pop-culture references are either based on a PunnyName or an actual animal.

''Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari'' (or ''Rodeo Stampede'' for short) is a 2016 mobile game created by Yodo1, the publishers behind ''VideoGame/CrossyRoad''. A mix between an [[EndlessGame endless runner]] and a [[AnEntrepreneurIsYou zoo management sim]], ''Rodeo Stampede'' puts the player character, a {{Cowboy}}, in the middle of an AnimalStampede with all kinds of creatures. To add animals to your zoo, you need to lasso and hang onto them until you've befriended them, and as your zoo expands, you can get more income for upgrading your PowerUpMount, and later on, unlocking new content such as new maps or "rare animals" (novelty reskins of animals you've befriended).

* BigCreepyCrawlies: The Garden world is focused on these.

* {{Robot}}: Quite a few rare animals are robotic versions of the creature they're based on.

* AwesomeButImpractical: ''TyrannosaurusRex'' will smash anything and can devour any animal, meaning that the only threats you'll have to worry about while riding them are walls, cliffs, and meteors in the Jurassic world. The catch? They get angry ''extremely'' quickly, slowing down once they do. If you don't jump off and lasso some other animal before then, you're lunch.

* StockDinosaurs: The Jurassic world species are, in order of unlocking, ''Parasaurolophus'', [[RaptorAttack Raptor]], ''Triceratops'', ''TyrannosaurusRex'', ''Brontosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''[[PteroSoarer Pterodactyl]]'', ''Stegosaurus'', and ''Dimetrodon''.

* OneUp: A variant in the form of the Revive Raven, an [[BribingYourWayToVictory Epic Animal]] which gives you one

* BearsAreBadNews: Ride on a bear for too long, and it'll eat you in one gulp. This is largely averted up to that point, though, since they're useful in that they can eat other animals they run into (smaller animals normally, and ''any'' animal if upgraded enough), and can also smash trees that'd otherwise end your run if you plow into them.
* BrutishBulls: Surprisingly averted with the Cape Buffalo, the first animal you ever lasso. This is despite the fact that cape buffalo are ''extremely aggressive'' in RealLife and are regarded as the most dangerous of the Big 5 game animals of Africa. Though when their enclosure is upgraded enough, Buffalo charge forward briefly as soon as you lasso them, smashing through anything in their path from trees to rocks to [[FoeTossingCharge other animals.]]

* NobleWolf: Wolves aren't portrayed as dangerous in this game; lasso one and it'll get you great distances quickly as long as you can dodge obstacles - which becomes harder after it gets angry, since it'll run even faster still.

* RaptorAttack: The Raptors in the Jurassic world are the standard ''Film/JurassicPark'' fare (as tall as the player, fast-moving, and featherless with kangaroo-like arms), though a Feathered Raptor (albeit retaining incorrect pronated hands) is available as a rare animal.

* EndlessGame

* MessyPig: Surprisingly averted in the description for the Wild Boar: "Boars remove parasites by rolling in mud, so the mud actually makes them cleaner, not dirtier."

* ShoutOut: Too many to list, especially with the unlockable animals.

* AllegedlyFreeGame: Downplayed in that
* AutoScrollingLevel:
* AwesomeButImpractical: ''TyrannosaurusRex'' will smash anything and can devour any animal, meaning that the only threats
* BribingYourWayToVictory:

* {{Freemium}}: Epic Animals are a BribingYourWayToVictory variant
* GottaCatchThemAll[=/=]LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters:

* KidnappingBirdOfPrey:
* LuckBasedMission:
** Unlocking certain {{Secret Character}}s is sort of like this, with their unlock conditions being randomized throughout another characters' gameplay.
** The daily challenges can become this as well; the endangered animals are randomly generated, so you'd better pray to the RandomNumberGod that you encounter one at any given time. It may take ''dozens'' of runs before you meet even ''one'' endangered animal and even then, you still have to succeed in taming it, which varies in difficulty depending on the species in question.

* AnimalsNotToScale: Like ''Frogger''

* YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy: Drop Bears occasionally leap from trees and attack you when you play in the Outback. This is actually how you unlock the Drop Bear for play. The Bunyip, depicted as a bat-winged, demonic Drop Bear, is also a secret animal.
