** One of the fence types you can build, the habitat marker, allows you to mark an exhibit without actually building a fence, letting you use mountains, rocks, or buildings as borders for your habitats.

** ''Learllynasaura'' is correctly given the extremely long tail it had, which most depictions tend to forget.

** Inversely, ''Dryosaurus'' lacks the brow ridges it had in reality, because they detracted from the cuteness of the anime in-game.

** As in ''VideoGame/PlanetZoo'', animals aren't restricted to a single biome, with even the choosiest creatures having two biome options while some, including ''T. rex'', can live happily in ''five''. Combined with how only plants affect said biome preferences, and you can do things like create an exhibit for a ''Triceratops'' that goes from scrubland to temperate forest and then swamp to similuate a bayou.
** Generalist staff may have designated roles, but these are interchangable to some degree - in an example giving by the developers, a shopkeeper with no customers might empty a trashcan or restock shelves if either task needs completion.

** Unlike most paleo-media, it's correctly acknowledged that the Hell Creek area wasn't a barren wasteland with sparse plant growth, but actually something closer to the Florida Everglades - all dinosaurs that come from the Hell Creek formation have Wetlands among their preferred biomes. In fact, as the devs noted, many cretaceous fossil sites resemble wetlands, so most of the dinosaurs in-game (bein drawn heavily from the Cretaceous) can live happily in a wetlands enclosure.

* UnexpectedlyRealisticGameplay: Unlike other games featuring {{Extinct Animal Park}}s that involve FossilRevival, such ''VideoGame/JurassicParkOperationGenesis'' or the prehistoric expansions for ''VideoGame/ZooTycoon'', you cannot raise all prehistoric creatures using a single building/lab - some are just too big to fit into your basic nurseries upon adulthood and require larger nurseries before they can be created, even if you have their entire genome.

** Unlike most paleo-media, it's correctly acknowledged that the Hell Creek area wasn't a barren wasteland with sparse plant growth, but actually something closer to the Florida Everglades - all dinosaurs that come from the Hell Creek formation have Wetlands among their preferred biomes.

** ''Smilodon fatalis'' and ''Smilodon populator'' are both in the game, with the former being smaller than the latter. Rather minor, but most fiction doesn't even acknowledge that they are separate species. In fact, this is one of the few games to acknowledge that several genera of animals, extinct and extant, are known from multiple species.

** Unlike nearly all popular dinosaur media, this game makes a point to differentiate the different species of dinosaurs within a genus, such as ''Torvosaurus'' having two distinct species, which also differ in location of origin as they were in real life.

* SpiritualSuccessor: A work centering on building a park featuring prehistoric life that is intended to portray said species realistically and features Nigel Marven in a key role? Comparisons to ''Series/PrehistoricPark'' are inevitable.

* AuthorAppeal: A minor example. The ''Tyrannosaurus'' is the only dinosaur in the game without lips, and the reason for this is solely because the game's creators thought it looked better that way.

* RealIsBrown: Mammals tend to have drabber designs than dinosaurs, with the developers [[WordOfGod noting in the artbook]] that "[[JustifiedTrope there's only so much color an animal this large can have]]" in the entry for ''Paraceratherium''.

** While animals will care about what plants are in their exhibits, soil composition does not affect their biome happiness. This allows players more artistic freedom, like giving a cave lion a snowy exhibit so long as the plants within come from, say, grassland.

** Nigel Marven being involved in the running of a park full of prehistoric animals is a clear reference to his role in Series/PrehistoricPark, with him even stating in one of his quotes about Triceratops that he "prefers names beginning with T" for the genus, in reference to Prehistoric Park's resident Triceratops Theo. He also has a ''Microraptor'' in his portrait, likely a reference to the one he essentially adopted in the third episode of the series.
