* Even after Ellie is rescued, the group realizes they’re still in peril as the floodwaters are continuing to rise. They huddle together, and are terrified as they begin to lose solid ground to stand on. Sid and the opossum brothers climb on top of Manny and Ellie since they can, but it’s clear it’s not going to save them since the mammoths will soon lose their footing. Diego, who can’t climb on top of the mammoths, nervously puts a paw onto Manny’s back to support himself, but the implications are clear they’re going to eventually drown from exhaustion.
** During this, the group hears an ear splitting chorus of screams, and look up to see the gigantic peak that was holding the boat collapsing. The hundreds of animals who ''did'' make it to the boat are left to scream for their lives as the boat slowly, ominously slides down, and crashes violently into the flood. They are all knocked around like ''toys'' by the impact, still completely at the mercy of nature even after reaching their supposed salvation, and are lucky the rest of their ride seemed to be peaceful.

** A special thing to note about their introduction is how it's a startlingly effective twist on the EyeAwaken trope--both of the animals are shown to have been frozen with their eyes ''open'', rather than being closed first so they can be opened for dramatic effect. So how is Cretaceous revealed to be awake? His eyes shift from staring off-center to (as seen in the page image) ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou looking directly at the viewer!]]''
** Also, considering that Cretaceous and Maelstrom don't speak and they look and act realistically, [[KnightOfCerebus they are very dark antagonists]]. All they utter are ferocious growling, snarling, and hissing sounds.

** Not helping matters is that anytime Cretaceous and Maelstrom enter the picture, the score audibly transitions to something that'd feel right at home with what you'd hear in a SlasherMovie.
** It's rather easy to notice upon a second viewing that Cretaceous and Maelstrom aren't just acting like typical predators: there is actual, intentional ''spite'' in their eyes when their prey gets away, and Cretaceous actually seems to ''smile'' when lunging for Manny. Maelstrom later shoots Manny a murderous glare when the two have him cornered underwater, all but confirming that ItCanThink...
*** In the video game, Maelstrom and Cretaceous act noticeably more feral and unhinged than in the movie, roaring and snarling viciously when chasing Scrat and charging through sheets of ice to get at him. Definitely seems that the herd constantly evading their hungry maws has made them [[VillainousBreakdown royally pissed off]].
** The director does a great job in [[ParanoiaFuel making the viewers expect the beasts to strike anytime]]. The young aardvark that is left behind and looks into the lake looks very much like a potential victim and... splash! It was just Fast Tony's glyptodon lackey Stu scaring him senseless into leaving, and then while he swims carefree, it comes as no surprise that the snorkel gets dragged down and Stu gets [[EatenAlive devoured alive]]. And his remains, the shell, gets used by his boss (the aforementioned [[SnakeOilSalesman Fast Tony]]) as a boat.
** Just the fact that if Stu hadn't scared away the young aardvark, ImprobableInfantSurvival WOULD have been averted.
** Also considering the fact that glyptodon shells are living parts of the body (much like turtles, the shells are fused to the spine), the fact poor Stu was ''ripped clean out of his'' paints a [[BodyHorror VERY]] disturbing picture of what his death [[NothingIsScarier must've been like]]...
* The Geyser Field near the climax. It's the equivalent of walking through a minefield, except in addition to being blown apart, you suffer a CruelAndUnusualDeath via being ''broiled alive'' (as the film is [[BlackComedy all too happy to show us with]] [[ButtMonkey a Dodo]]). Every step has the potential to be fatal, the places where the steam erupts from are ever changing - and to cap it all off, ''there's no other way to go'': it's either through the broiling, desolate hell of the Geyser Field, or death by drowning when the Dam finally bursts.

* The vulture confirming that the dam will burst and the valley will be completely flooded in a few days is somber and haunting, especially as the animals look around as the vulture makes clear they're in a ''bowl'' ready to be filled up. The vulture also makes it clear what will happen to them if they either perish during their exodus to the boat, or die in the flood:
