In 2018, the National Wildlife Federation acquired ''Zoobooks'' and rebranded it as ''Magazine/RangerRick Zoobooks''. However, ''Ranger Rick'' still continues to be published alongside ''Zoobooks''. Around this time period, spinoff series to ''Zoobooks'' were made for different age levels; ''Zootles'' for preschoolers and ''Zoobies'' for toddlers. A third spinoff, ''Zoodinos'', focuses [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin on dinosaurs]] (and other prehistoric creatures). It was quickly renamed to ''Ranger Rick Dinosaurs''.

* PandaingToTheAudience: The panda issue took a realistic approach to this trope. While it stressed the importance of [[GreenAesop conserving these cute creatures]], it also reminded readers that RealLife pandas are capable of being [[BearsAreBadNews dangerous if provoked.]] Their overview of panda anatomy revealed what a panda looks like underneath its skin-namely, that it has large fangs and claws. The caption of the diagram said that pandas in zoos frequently destroy their toys.

* RhinoRampage: The "Rhinos" issue theorizes that this trope may be the result of a rhino's poor eyesight: when you can't tell if something is a threat, it's better to charge at it just to be safe. Accompanying this text is an illustration of a black rhino charging a speeding jeep. Another page has [[https://www.reddit.com/r/badassanimals/comments/kqguiz/rhino_defending_against_tiger_attack/ this illustration]] of a [[MamaBear mother rhino]] attacking a tiger that wanted her baby.

* FurAndLoathing: Whenever the fur industry is mentioned, it is in a negative light. "Sharing the World with Animals", for example, has a man and a woman in seal and leopard fur coats, respectively. The captions explain the methods used to kill animals, such as the use of steel traps, which the magazine compares the force of to "a car door slamming on your hand". Justified when the trope comes up in issues for endangered animals, like in the "Tigers" issue, as poaching for fur has been cited as the reason for some animals becoming rarer.
* GreenAesop: Naturally, for a magazine devoted to animals and the environment. Most issues dedicated to one animal ended with a few paragraph describing threats that the animals face, and what we can do to improve their future. Sometimes, entire issues were devoted to Green Aesops, namely the "Endangered Animals" and "Sharing the World with Animals" issues, which went into detail about topics like overharvesting, deforestation, pollution, and recently extinct animals.

** One of this issue's illustrations managed to subvert this trope and play it straight at the same time. An [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter adorable baby panda]] was under attack by a group of wild dogs, but its MamaBear had stepped in to protect it. She is coming down, fangs bared, right on top of one of the would-be predators. The caption [[FridgeHorror indicates]] that a panda's jaws are capable of [[GoryDiscretionShot crushing bone]] as easily as bamboo.

* {{Bambification}}: One of the cover variants for the "Sharing the World With Animals" issue depicts a little boy holding a flower up to a fawn. The message of the issue is that humans [[GreenAesop have to take better care of the environment, as we've already lost so many species]]; with this in mind, the fawn in the cover is a textbook example of this trope, the baby deer representing innocence that rests in the human's hands.
