* BehemothBattle: We get one between the Allosaurus and Nasutoceratops.

* PrehistoricMonster: The ''Allosaurus'' is roaring frequently, is treated as a brutal predator attacking a baby and then mother ''Nasutoceratops'' and then goes after the family. Slightly subverted in that it backs off its attack when another adult ''Nasutoceratops'' shows up, and again when it's shot several times in the face with a crossbow.

* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Played with. The daughter clearly believes so, saying that they aren't in any danger from the ''Nasutoceratops'' since it isn't a carnivore, which is supported by the fact that they don't attack any of the humans. On the other hand, that doesn't mean much since they don't interact with the humans at all and don't even seem to know they're there, and the parents are rightfully worried about what a [[MamaBear mother dinosaur]] could do even before the ''Allosaurus'' shows up.

* ItsQuietTooQuiet: The first inkling the family have of the dinosaurs arrival is when the father calls out to Greg and there's no response.



** The family is camping with a large group of people, all of whom disappear shortly before the dinosaur shows up. Actually averted, when the family looks out the window to see that everyone has fled to their vehicles/for their lives, one can clearly hear a woman say "get inside."

* EverybodyLives: All of the named human characters and the dinosaurs end up surviving (although a dove gets devoured by a ''Pteranodon'' and a great white shark is eaten by the ''Mosasaurus'' in the credits), though [[spoiler: it also isn't clear if the person that drove off the road in the credits lived]].

Seldom Seen Species is no longer a trope.


* SeldomSeenSpecies: ''Nasutoceratops'' is the main herbivorous dinosaur of the short. Also if we are indeed going by ''species'' rather than genus, the ''Allosaurus'' is based on the lesser-known species ''A. jimmadseni'' rather than the more familiar ''A. fragilis''.

* IdiotBall: As Creator/JeremyJahns pointed out in [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6gvrTTvHWVY his review]]. The parents don’t cover the baby’s mouth when it starts crying in order to avoid attracting the attention of the allosaurus, which results in the dinosaur attacking their RV and almost eating them.

* ChildEater: The ''Allosaurus'' happens to go after the baby ''Nasutoceratops'' and tries to eat the family’s infant. Justified because carnivores will often eat younger prey because they put up less of a fight than a mature individual.

* PapaWolf: As the female ''Nasutoceratops'' and her calf are cornered, the father appears and helps force the ''Allosaurus'' to back off. Later, the human father grabs a bit of metal and starts swinging at the ''Allosaurus'' as it smashes through the caravan, knowing full well it's a hopeless fight but looking to buy as much time as possible for his kids to escape. The [[MamaBear mother]] joins in with a fire extinguisher.

* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Downplayed and justified. The people a the campsite run for it so quickly they leave the campfire going, and the dinosaurs wind up spreading embers around during the battle, leaving a good portion of the campground on fire by the end. The flames are small tinder fires except for the campfire though, averting the usual giant flames the trope uses and explaining why no one is asphyxiating from smoke.
