** Terano-sensei has three fingers per hand, rather than two like a real ''Tyrannosaurus''.
** Andou the ''Andrewsarchus'' is both drawn and classified as a mesonychid, based on a hypothesis that was disproven in 2009. ''Andrewsarchus'' is now known to be an artiodactyl closely related to entelodonts, hippos, and whales.
** One chapter claims there is a theory that ''Stegosaurus'' may have been coprophagus due to its meager jaws compared to other herbivorous dinosaurs, lack of wear on its teeth, and downward-facing head. No such theory actually exists and this is speculation at best. Also, the teeth of ''Stegosaurus'' actually do show horizontal wear and its bite force was recently discovered to have been no less stronger than ruminants, meaning it could eat tougher plant material.

* EverythingIsBetterWithDinosaurs: The teachers at school are dinosaurs and a pterosaur, although the principal is an ''Anomalocaris''. Also, whereas the students are all humanoid animals on some level, the teachers are all just extinct animals with little to no biological modification...wearing suits.

Latest chapter shows that she want's to be the best female (i.e. boss) of the hyena just like her mom. No transgender here.


* {{Transgender}}: Yena takes a roundabout path but ultimately finds himself here. When introduced, he proclaims himself male while drawn in the LittleBitBeastly style exclusive to girls. However, this isn't Yena presenting as male, it's him not even realizing he could be anything ''but'' male, due to female hyenas having an organ similar to a penis. When this is pointed out to him, he briefly tries being more feminine, but Hitomi encourages Yena to BeYourself, and he remains male from that point onward. His father and brother lament the waste of the frilly clothing they got for him, but otherwise are accepting.

* BearsAreBadNews: The gang of bears are a bunch of bullies that constantly harass Jin and Lanka. Until Ferryl came along.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Hanjima takes advantage of his charm to make Chloe lose focus during their [[SeriousBusiness card game]]. When Chloe finds out he's a ''Quagga'' who only pretended to like her, she kicks him in the face and wins the game.
* BoisterousWeakling: Nomadon the lion may try to act badass, but he gets constantly beaten up by hyenas, other lions and Io the lioness.
* BoxingKangaroo: Although like in real life, kangaroos also use their very powerful legs to kick. There's a pretty important match between Midoru the Wallaroo and Akabukuro the Red Kangaroo.
* CannotSpitItOut: Kuromori, Ferryl's NumberTwo, can't muster the courage to tell her he likes her. Her crush of Terano-sensei doesn't help either.

* CuttingTheKnot: Chloe quickly becomes the world champion at the "Magic: The Donkeying" card game due to her kicking all her opponents unconscious, which is apparently legal in the game's rules.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Aishima Yubiru the aye-aye is very odd-looking and his hands are a source of superstition, but he and his fellow aye-ayes are pretty nice fellows. Granted, running the Dark Magic club [[NotHelpingYourCase doesn't exactly help]].

* DrivenToSuicide: Kagami Manako the tarsier tries to kill herself when stressed. Luckily Miyubi talks her out of it.
* DumbDinos: Averted by the dinosaur characters. Which is a given since they are the teachers in the school, making them also an inversion.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Hitomi has attracted the attention of more than one female student, like Yena the hyena, Anne the Neanderthal and Mam the mammoth.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Jin has attracted the attention of a male giraffe and aye-aye, which he doesn't want anything to do with. A male sea otter also develops a crush on him.
* EverythingIsBetterWithDinosaurs: The teachers at school are dinosaurs and a pterosaur, although the principal is an ''Anomalocaris''.

* ForcefulKiss: A rather odd variant. Like a wolf, Lanka licks people in the mouth to welcome them to her club. The reactions vary.
* GangOfBullies: The Brown Bears.
* GentleGiant: Many of the teachers are huge dinosaurs, but most of the time are quite reasonable with their students, [[NightmareFace just don't anger them]].
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Kuromori's special battle technique, the Ratel Hammer, involves having the [[MadeOfIron invulnerable]] Teru curled up in a ball and swung like a flail.
* GroupieBrigade: The Lionesses for King, who love his enormous mane. When he cuts it off, they immediately abandon him without a second thought.
* GyaruGirl: All the Lionesses dress in Kogal style.
* HateSink: During the Sports Festival, there's Saruhara Pan and the other chimpanzees. They are a bunch of cheaters who never fail to rub in everyone's faces they can use (human made) inventions as 'tools' to give themselves an unfair advantage over the other animals. It stands out they're the only animals Lanka has downright refused to befriend.
* HereWeGoAgain: This is Jin's reaction when Miyubi introduces her new friend, a Giant Sunda rat (which have the shortest lifespan of all known mammals), after losing her mouse friend Hatsune early that chapter.
* HomeNudist: The naked mole rats in general, and Student Council President Miki Hadano in particular, hate wearing clothing and spend their time in underground stripped down to their underwear.
* HugeSchoolgirl: Ferryl, Lanka's sister is easily 10ft tall. It's explained that she grew so much thanks to the Bergsmann's Rule, since during her childhood she would always leant her coat to shield Lanka from the cold.
* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Male beasts are drawn as {{Beast M|an}}en, looking exactly like the animals they are, while female animals are just a LittleBitBeastly, sometimes with just token nods to their race like the proper ears and tail.
* IAmBigBoned: Wajima the Steller's sea cow doesn't like being called fat, and it's his BerserkButton.
* IAteWhat:
** Yukari's introduction and motivation for joining the Cooking Club is centered around trying to discover the tasty food she ate as a child that ''wasn't'' eucalyptus. When it's revealed that mother koalas feed their babies their own poop to help them develop vital antibodies, Yukari is shocked at the fact ''that'' was what she ate. However, she quickly goes on to embrace it as her new favorite food besides eucalyptus.
** This is the expression of Baiji when told what she ate for the eating contest: [[spoiler:Rabbit poop]].
* InterspeciesFriendship: Lanka's goal is to have a pack made of different species, and despite Jin's objections, she has stricken friendships with several.
* InterspeciesRomance: King the lion actually feels attracted to Shiho the impala, despite the problematic implications of being predator and prey.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jin never fails to remind everyone how much he dislikes being surrounded by animals, but despite that he has many PetTheDog moments, and much of the series consists of him helping the animals.
* KickChick: As expected from a zebra, Chloe mostly uses kicks.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Yena the spotted hyena didn't even know she was a woman until Jin pointed out [[spoiler:female hyenas have a pair of false genitals]], afterwards she finally accepts being a (very tomboyish) woman.
* LampshadeHanging: When Anne asks the other members of the Ex(tinct)-group why did they let Andou the ''Andrewsarchus'' join them if his kind didn't go extinct because of humans (they lived long before humans evolved), none of the other members has an answer.
* LikesOlderMen: 17 year old Ferryl has developed a crush on 110-year old Terano-sensei.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Meimei the panda may be spoiled and a self-proclaimed idol (pandas are very popular), but she's a good girl deep down who really wants to have friends.
* LovableSexManiac: Bonobo, like most of her kind, uses "hoka-hoka" as a way of relieving tension (usually [[GirlOnGirlIsHot by making out with another girl]]), and she has no problem [[BiTheWay proposing to Jin as well]].
* MadeOfIron: Anamitsu Teru the ratel is, literally, very resistant and persistent, like Real-Life ratels.
* MeaningfulName: It also crosses with PunnyName, since most characters have names that indicate their species.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Unlike most wooly spider monkeys, who will elope with anyone, Rimu-sensei wants to only do it with someone she likes first. That made her very popular back when she was a student.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The first thing everyone notices about Lanka's father is that he's a (realistic) naked wolf.
* TheNapoleon: Mammoth is tiny (woolly mammoths are smaller than people imagine, about the size of an Indian elephant), and gets annoyed when pointed out.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: When Wajima the Steller's sea cow tries to help Mammoth, he trips on some marbles and gets immediately knocked out.
* NewTransferStudent: Meimei the giant panda and her manager Fon-Fon the red panda transfer to the school in chapter 23.
* NightmareFace: The teachers are all very good at pulling their PrehistoricMonster faces whenever students anger them.
* NobleWolf: Kuromori and the rest of the wolves may act like delinquents, but they're loyal and very supportive of Ferryl nonetheless.
* NotSoExtinct: Funnily enough Bar the Barbary lion wasn't aware his kind wasn't truly extinct (there are still a few Barbary lions in captivity) until Jin told him.
* OurNudityIsDifferent: Naked mole rats feel embarrassed when using clothes, so they're always in their underwear when alone.
* OverprotectiveDad: Lanka's dad isn't pleased with Lanka hanging out with Jin. And when he finds out about Ferryl's crush on Terano-sensei, he immediately jumps to attack a freaking ''T-Rex''.
* PandaingToTheAudience: An almost-parody of this trope, since Meimei the giant panda is treated like a celebrity because of her species' popularity, so having Jin deny and even insult her is an entirely new experience.
* PaperTiger: Andou the ''Andrewsarchus'' may be big and intimidating, but his jaws aren't that strong and is constantly defeated by smaller animals.
* PerpetualSmiler: Kana Shiroumi the Beluga is always smiling, even when sad (belugas always seem to be smiling).
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Mam the mammoth might be tiny (about Lanka's size), but she still has all the strength of a prehistoric elephant.
* {{Pixellation}}: Miki Hadano the naked mole rat's disgust towards clothing is such that when she looks at people who are dressed, she sees their clothing in pixels.
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: This is the reaction of the cooking club when meeting Lanka's father. He ends up looking like a wolf wearing pajamas.
* PrecociousCrush: Meri the young sheep has one on Jin.
* PteroSoarer: Nodo-sensei, the P. E. teacher, is a ''Pteranodon''.
* RaptorAttack: Mostly averted with Deino-sensei the ''Deinonychus'', who has feathers and uses his foot-claws the correct way (by stabbing, not disemboweling like in ''Franchise/JurassicPark'').
* RunningGag:
** Miyubi nearly dies of almost everything.
** The Dinosaur teachers threatening Jin and the other students into compliance.
** King the lion losing his mane and then regrowing it.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: Many animals shown in the series aren't very common in media, including anime and manga, such as the Aye-aye, naked mole rat, ''Alamosaurus'', ''Diprotodon'', wallaroo, the tarsier, quagga, honey possum, the wooly spider monkey, ''Andrewsarchus'', Baiji, Steller's sea cow, prairie vole and more.
* SeriousBusiness: Card games are this for donkeys and zebras. Chloe even becomes champion.
* ShownTheirWork: Its clear the author has done its research, since most of the facts presented at the series are rather obscure.
* ShipTease: it was shown in an omake that, with the possible exception of Yukari (the koala), all the main girls have some romantic interest in Jin.
* StockDinosaurs: Most of the teachers are these: ''Tyrannosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', ''Iguanodon'', ''Stegosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Spinosaurus'', ''Deinonychus'', and ''Pteranodon''. On the other hand, the token sauropod is the non-stock ''Alamosaurus''.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: Yukari the koala has an immense gripping strength (over a ton!).
* TeensAreShort: Lanka is tiny for a wolf/teenager.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Miyubi the sloth dies from just about ''any'' kind of physical exertion and her frequently dying is one of the series {{Running Gag}}s. She dies so often that it's eventually lampshaded with Jin remarking that he doesn't even feel any sort of tension when someone declares Miyubi has died again.
%%* ThoseTwoGuys: The donkey brothers that hang out with Chloe.
* TokenHuman: Jin and Hitomi are literally the only humans at the series. It's stated that humans are actually rare in the setting.
* TookALevelInKindness: Chloe was at first snobbish and mean spirited, but after Jin reveals zebras are more closely related to donkeys than horses, her pride goes away and becomes a much nicer person.
* TooMuchInformation: Nobody likes to know that Yukari's favorite meal after eucalyptus is [[spoiler:poop]].
* {{Transgender}}: Yena takes a roundabout path but ultimately finds himself here. When introduced, he proclaims himself male while drawn in the LittleBitBeastly style exclusive to girls. However, this isn't Yena presenting as male, it's him not even realizing he could be anything ''but'' male, due to female hyenas having an organ similar to a penis. When this is pointed out to him, he briefly tries being more feminine, but Hitomi encourages Yena to BeYourself, and he remains male from that point onward. His father and brother lament the waste of the frilly clothing they got for him, but otherwise are accepting.
* {{Tsundere}}:
** Kurumi the cat is usually aloof, but shows her dere side on occasion.
** Taken to a hilarious extreme with Ruka the dolphin; while half asleep (dolphins can rest one hemisphere of their brains at a time) her dere side emerges, but when awake she's all tsun.
** Io the lioness also doesn't want to admit her growing attraction towards Nomadon the lame lion.
* TyrannosaurusRex: Terano-sensei is the homeroom teacher of Jin and Lanka's class, and a ''T. rex''.
* UnwantedHarem: King the lion is constantly shadowed and pampered by female lionesses that adore his mane, but he really wants to be alone with his crush Shiho, who is scared of the other girls.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Flashbacks show Jin was the opposite in terms of personality, loving animals and wanting to befriend them.
* WalkingArmory: Jin's distrust of animals means he always carries tools to subdue them, unique to a particular species' weaknesses (such as citrus repelling away dogs)
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: The students from sea academy wear this as regular uniform.
* WhamShot: Anne Anetani is actually a Neanderthal who wants humans to go extinct.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Anne finds herself conflicted at her growing feelings of friendship for Hitomi (Neanderthals are believed to have felt less empathy than modern humans).
* TheWorfEffect: The trio of brown bears that bully the other students are used as the preferred punching bags when a new character needs to show their strength. Ironically, they shy away from Andou the ''Andrewsarchus'' due to his enormous size and terrifying jaws, when Andou is [[PaperTiger not good at fighting at all]].
