** The pteranodon that assists the mammals gets asked about starting its own family by Buck. The question is enough to snap the reptile out of its perched trance, quickly realizing that it doesn’t need to be here anymore and takes off.



** Crash dramatically yells ''“[[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay Hasta la vista, birdie]]!”''
* StockDinosaurArchetypes: ''Tyrannosaurus'' is depicted as a fearsome, yet maternal and sympathetic role with a mother and her three young who eventually warm up to Sid, with the mother still being feared by the other dinosaurs. The antagonistic predator instead goes to a ''Baryonyx'' named Rudy whose main trait is having a grudge against Buck for knocking out one of his teeth. Almost every dinosaur is unpleasant, though they're more territorial than leaning on PrehistoricMonster; ''Triceratops'' don't tolerate the presence of other animals other than herd members, ''Ankylosaurus'' attacks the main herd upon first notice, and ''Guanlong'' are opportunistic pack hunters. The exceptions are ''Brachiosaurus'', which doesn't mind the herd sliding at its tail and back, and "pterodactyls" which are placid enough to be tamed and ridden upon by Buck, albeit briefly.
