to:

%%* KingOfTheDinosaurs* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Matilda by the end definitely represents the menacing aspects of this trope.



* HonorableElephant: She's a GentleGiant and very calm around her keepers. She was found by Nigel wounded but refusing to leave the body of her dead sister and is given a lot of sympathy.

Added DiffLines:

* EscapeArtist: At the park, it has a habit of managing to get out of its enclosure. You'd think a ten foot tall carnivorous bird would be a problem, but see below.
* FeatheredFiend: Subverted. It is a big and potentially dangerous predator, but its behavior is downright placid once its taken to the park.

to:

* TheKirk: Plenty snarky, though of a more jovial than sassing nature. He is prone to emotional and logical choices in equal measure.



* TheMcCoy: The most emotional of the main trio, especially when he has to deal with all the animals Nigel keeps bringing in.



* TheSpock: The calmest of the main trio and the one working in a hard science the most.

!!Saba Douglas-Hamilton
->Played by: herself
A Kenyan conservationist with a lot of expertise in big cats. She joins Nigel on the second trip to the early Holocene in South America to help him find potentially the last sabretoothed cats on Earth.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Just as much as Nigel. All the more heartbreaking when they couldn't save the sabretooth cubs.
* GuestStarPartyMember: She joins in on the expedition to try and save the last ''Smilodon'' left in the world.
* PantheraAwesome: Some of her expertise, having done field work with lions, leopards, and cheetahs in Kenya.
