** The ''Triceratops'' in the show lack parrot-like beaks, with Tango lacking a keratinous beak altogether.

''Dino Ranch'' is a Canadian AllCGICartoon aimed at preschoolers that debuted in 2021 on Creator/{{CBC}} Kids and Creator/DisneyJunior. Produced by Creator/JamFilledEntertainment (''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'') and Industrial Brothers (''WesternAnimation/TopWing''), the series was created by Matthew Fernandes, who has a long history of making cartoons for CBC Kids, including ''WesternAnimation/DexHamiltonAlienEntomologist'', ''WesternAnimation/RemyAndBoo'', and ''WesternAnimation/KingdomForce''.
The show is set at the eponymous Dino Ranch, home to Bo and Jane Cassidy, as well as their three kids Jon, Min, and Miguel. Dino Ranch is pretty much your typical stretch of farmland, except you won't find any cows, horses, or chickens. Instead, the Cassidy family ranch keeps ''dinosaurs''. But running a ranch full of dinosaurs is never easy, and every day provides new opportunities for both adventures and lessons, as Jon, Min, and Miguel (as well as their dinosaur companions Blitz, Clover, and Tango) work hard, play harder, and learn about family, unity and taking care of the dinosaurs they love.
! Tropes of the series
* AllFlyersAreBirds: Dino Ranch's baby ''Pteranodon'' Pteddy acts as the farm's rooster, crowing at sunrise to wake everyone up. He even walks around on two legs like a bird rather than on all fours like real pterosaurs did.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Jon, Min, and Miguel frequently use "Dino Ranchers, go!"
* {{Cowboy}}: Naturally. The Cassidy family all dress and act the part, lassoing, herding, and riding dinosaurs around their ranch and the surrounding plains just like Wild West cowboys did with cattle and horses.
* DomesticatedDinosaurs: Being a show about a ranch that has dinosaurs as farm animals, this is naturally in full force. The Cassidy family all ride dinosaur companions; large herbivorous dinosaurs like ''Parasaurolophus'' and ''Stegosaurus'' fill the role of cows; there's a ''Triceratops'' that acts like a bull and a ''Pteranodon'' instead of a rooster; and ''Compsognathus'' run around the ranch just like chickens.
* GadgeteerGenius: Miguel often develops inventions to help the family around the farm.
* GratuitousSpanish: Miguel, being Latino, often peppers his speech with Spanish words.
* HeadbuttingPachy: Bopper is a baby ''Pachycephalosaurus'' who has a habit of using his species' famous thick skull to butt literally anything he comes across.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: The Cassidy family all ride dinosaurs. Jon rides a ''Velociraptor'' named Blitz; Min rides a young ''Brontosaurus'' named Clover; Miguel rides a young ''Triceratops'' named Tango; Jane rides a ''Parasaurolophus'' named Quack; and Bo rides the obligatory ''T. rex'' Biscuit.

* TemperCeratops: Dino Ranch has a fully grown ''Triceratops'' named Angus who behaves a lot like a bull. He really doesn't like being disturbed (especially while sleeping) and will rampage about when angered. Fortunately, he can always be calmed down with his favorite treat, turnips.
* ThreeAmigos: Jon, Min, and Miguel, although they are apparently all siblings.
