* TheCretaceousIsAlwaysDoomed: An odd [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. It's a movie about dinosaurs where the plot is kicked off by a meteor strike, but it's not the big one: its damage is confined to a relatively small area, and the dinosaurs manage to survive by migrating ''en masse'' to the nearest fertile area. It should probably be noted that meteor strikes (let along ones big enough to cause real environmental damage) ''weren't'' a regular occurrence in the Cretaceous period: they were just as rare then as they are today.

** The first and final ''Carnotaurus'' attacks both have the camera frames between the predator's legs to show it bearing down on its prey. But while the first succeeds in scattering the dinosaurs it is pursuing, the final ''Carnotaurus'' is forced to back off when Aladar unites the herd.

* MisplacedWildlife: ''Carnotaurus'' was only found in South America, yet somehow shows up to hunt a bunch of Northern Hemisphere dinosaurs. However, this is arguably at least [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]], as Kron is surprised to hear ''Carnotaurs'' attacked Bruton, as 'they never come this far north' -- although that doesn't explain how they've managed to cross the sea that separated the two continents at the time. The ''Koolasuchus'' (South Pole) and ''Oviraptor'', ''Talarurus'' and ''Velociraptor'' (Mongolia) seem more out of place on North America.

*** While the skull is mostly the correct shape, the eyes of the ''Iguanodon'' are facing forward, giving them semi-binocular vision. So far, the only dinosaurs confirmed to have binocular vision are Tyrannosaurs (specifically ''T. rex'', ''Lythronax'', and ''Tarbosaurus'') and some Troodontids. Every Hadrosaur had eyes on the side of its head, like most modern day herbivores.

* DeathGlare: Aladar sports a vicious one when he hears the [[spoiler: surviving]] ''Carnotaur'' digging out of the cave-in [[spoiler: that killed Bruton.]]
* DefiantToTheEnd: Kron suffers a momentary OhCrap moment when he realizes there's an impassable ravine between the Nesting Grounds, himself, and a charging ''Carnotaur''... then he turns, snarls, and squares up to do battle.
* NoSell: Aladar successfully fends off a ''Carnotaur'' with defiant roars, ''when he has a herd to back him''. When he tries it again on his own shortly afterward, he receives a vicious tail-based BitchSlap.
* SpannerInTheWorks: The young ''Parasaurolophus'' early in the film. It's implied the flock of birds Aladar's mother observes are fleeing the Carnotaur as it sneaks towards the forest edge. Based on its behavior it intended to observe quietly until a viable target came close enough to ambush (as a real predator might); but the ''Para'''s approach forced it to break cover early. Subverted ultimately, though: Because the dinosaurs fail to coalesce in defense [[spoiler: as they do under Aladar later]] the Carnotaur is able to single out a slower target and make a kill anyway.
