* ProtectionInMouth: A [[ThatsNoMoon completely unintentional example]]. In ''Don't Cave In'', the protagonists decide to take shelter in a cave filled with sharp rocks. Come morning, surprise surprise, it turns out to have been the open mouth of local GentleGiant Gigantosaurus. Although unintended, the 'cave' served its job giving the characters a safe place to spend the night, since nobody would dare approach the massive dinosaur anyway.

2019 (with that also being the channel it airs across much of the world), but airs in its native country on France 5, part of the the French national public television broadcaster France Télévisions.

Much like the book it's based on, the show follows a group of young dinosaurs living in the prehistoric land of Cretacia - the spunky ''Parasaurolophus'' Rocky, the timid ''Brachiosaurus'' Bill, the playful ''Triceratops'' Tiny, and the inquisitive ''Ankylosaurus'' Mazu. Together, these four little dinos explore their Mesozoic world, having adventures, making discoveries, and learning lessons.

But the biggest object of curiosity for these baby dinosaurs is the eponymous Gigantosaurus, a massive ''Giganotosaurus'' famed across Cretacia as the most fearsome of all dinosaurs. While Giganto seems perfectly content to do his own thing and ignore the other dinosaurs in his territory, he often finds himself crossing paths with the four young dinosaurs in their adventures. Although Giganto's vicious reputation is known even to them, our four little protagonists often find he can be an unexpected source of aid. And even if Giganto's ways are a mystery even to the main four, his involvement in their adventures and the lessons they learn can always be counted on to add a little extra thrill to their exploration of Cretacia.
