History Fanfic / PrehistoricParkReimagined

** In ''The Skies'' in ''Prehistoric Park: Extras'' makes a point on how vultures, [[ScavengersAreScum contrary to what most media would have you believe]], are among the most intelligent of birds.

** In ''The Skies'' in ''Prehistoric Park Extra'' makes a point on how vultures and other scavengers, [[ScavengersAreScum contrary to what most media would have you believe]], are actually very smart and have to put in a lot of hard work for the sake of their means of diet.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There is a sizable number of named human and animal characters alike present in this story.

The basic premise is simple: Zoologist and adventurer Drew [[TimeTravel travels back in time]] to [[BringItBackAlive bring back]] various creatures from prehistoric eras, whom he and his team then place in the titular park. But mostly it's about lonely nobodies hanging around and pretending they have friends. While episodic in nature, the story does have an overarching plot, as the issues of many animals take several episodes to resolve. And several personal issues and arcs that several major characters had to deal with also take multiple episodes to be resolved. Serves as both a straight (sort of) Prehistoric Park fanfic, and as a reboot of Prehistoric Earth (complete with almost the entire cast of Prehistoric Earth).

* NobleBirdOfPrey: Subverted with the prehistoric eagles and caracaras in ''Oozing from the Pit'' due to their being stuck and trapped in the tar pits at the time they're first seen. Played straight, on the other hand, with Hannibal and Imilce the argentavis in a rare ''vulture'' example of this trope.

* FiveManBand: The rescue team is solidified into this over the course of Phase 1:
** TheLeader: Drew
** TheLancer: Jack
** TheBigGuy: Adrian
** TheSmartGuy: Leon
** TheChick: Alice

* MeaningfulLook: Leon is subjected to this twice over the course of a staff meeting, both occurring at the same time; with one of them being a curious look from Jack and the second one being a subtle look of intrigue from Yolanda.

* AppropriatedAppelation: Jack's [[MaliciousMisnaming mocking nickname]] for Leon is unambiguously confirmed in ''Prehistoric Park: Extras'' to be the inspiration for Leon's plans to use the 'broadcasting device' to improve his standing and skill.

* AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption: Right as she's working to reassure Jack on eventually finding animals to rescue while working separately from Drew, Leon, and Adrian during ''Novum Initium'', she is interrupted mid-sentence by the sound of Ornitholestes squawking while hunting.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Unlike in Prehistoric Earth, where this was barely (if at all) touched upon, it is quite clear as early as the very first mission that, since Jack and Alice don't know Drew, Leon, and Adrian nearly as well as they know each other, and vice versa, the team proves understandably rusty in working together when they first start work in rescuing animals for the park.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The early missions of Phase 1 already show signs of this starting to take shape between both Kyle and Nikolai and Leon and Jack.

* TheLoad: Much like in Prehistoric Earth, Leon shows signs of starting out as this,[[spoiler: especially if the fact that he accidentally stumbles at an inconvenient time while working with Jack to keep the Ceratosaurus, Diplosaurus, and Amphicotylus distracted is any indication]]. And from how many people seem to currently think of him as of recent chapters, it's clear they already consider him this.

* RaptorAttack: Mostly averted with the Ornitholestes and all the various other raptor dinosaurs introduced in the story so far such as acheroraptor, dromaeosaurus, and pectinodon. Played straight in a more downplayed form, on the other hand, with the pectinodon that end up infected with a HatePlague over the course of ''Hell's Labyrinth''.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: As much as he considers Drew his friend, Leon also at times feels rather envious of how he's often considered 2nd fiddle to him as well by most other people. Cass Cheng is also TheUnfavorite to her parents compared to her older sister Tina.

* FiveManBand: The rescue team, natch:

** TheSmartGuy: Leon (though he hopes to try to be TheLancer)

* BadVibrations: The arrival of multiple gigantic herbivorous dinosaurs in ''Novum Initium'' were heralded by seismic vibrations in the ground resulting from their footsteps.

* KingOfBeasts: The American lions rescued in ''Oozing From the Pit'' prove equal parts fearsome and majestic as they are introduced viciously hunting a herd of bison antiquus (and are also implied to be AlwaysABiggerFish to both the American cheetah and teratornis long before they're actually physically seen) and the resident alpha male of the rescued pride is first introduced confidently strutting his way over to a freshly killed bison the lionesses have killed.

* AdaptationalNameChange: Just like in ''Fanfic/PrehistoricEarth'', Half Tooth is once again named Broken Fang. Furthermore, the mesothelus spiders from ''Series/WalkingWithMonsters'' are called megalorachne in this continuity (something that was initially considered being done in Prehistoric Earth before getting scrapped for the sake of simplicity), with one individual in particular that could be considered a counterpart for Pumpkin instead ending up named Neith (a name that was likewise originally planned for her Prehistoric Earth counterpart before then co-writer Luczynski had it changed to Pumpkin). Likewise, Incursio the arthropleura is renamed Felix in this continuity. And finally [[spoiler: Cynthia]] has her surname changed to Knightley rather than Night.

** Drew is much more caustic and abrasive here than he was in Prehistoric Earth.

* SelfDeprecation: Of sorts. In ''Extras'' chapter ''Soothing Seas'', aquarist Laura Allen points out how very annoying it would likely be to be constantly trailed by a camera crew every day while working with animals that they're still figuring out how to properly take care of now that they exist in modern times (a subtle TakeThat against this very element occurring in the original ''Series/PrehistoricPark'').

* BearyFriendly: Out of all the prehistoric bears rescued, Kronk the arctotherium is by far one of the most affable and easy to work with, largely acting like a lovable goofball who's more than happy to spend every waking minute joyfully feasting upon honey. That being said though, he's still capable of being dangerous if seemingly denied or interrupted from eating his food [[spoiler:or when under the effects of a HatePlague]].

* ChekhovsGun: A dead placodont that Jack and the Ancient Mariner's crew fishes out of the Triassic Swiss ocean ends up proving unintentionally useful as bait for a large combined flock of eudimorphodon and preondactylus as well as intentionally useful as bait for a combined pod of [[DeviousDolphins cymbospondylus and thalattoarchon]].

** Played straight in that the phorusrhacos turn out to be present at the same time and place as smilodon populator, just like in the original Prehistoric Park series. Lampshaded by Adrian and Alice in the chapter. [[WordOfGod Explained by Nathanoraptor]] in that the gap of time between the officially accepted extinction date for phorusrhacos and the time in which ''Red in Tooth and Claw'' takes place was just barely enough time to perhaps allow a small unknown number of phorusrhacos to still be alive.

** And speaking of Will, he'd also previously been [[Creator/EwanMcGregor Steve Woodward's]] nephew in ''Film/{{Stormbreaker}}.

** TheLancer: Jack and Leon currently are in a minor 'duel' to secure this position.

* BearsAreBadNews: Arctotherium are amongst the animals rescued in ''Red in Tooth and Claw'', and they are naturally (and quite understandably) treated as dangerous animals to be careful around. The arctodus in ''Oozing from the Pit'' likewise prove beasts for the team to be wary around.
