* AscendedToCarnivorism: The ostensibly herbivorous playable dinosaurs like Ankylosaurs and Triceratops are able to munch on small edible creatures running around the arena and regain their health.

* EarlyBirdCameo: A ''Spinosaurus'' long before [[Film/JurassicParkIII the third film]], albeit based on even-more-outdated depictions -- to the point that it looks more like a claw-less raptor with a sail strapped to its back. Also ''Stygimoloch'', which made its first onscreen appearance in ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' 19 years later. Stiggy incidentally has the same coloration as the game’s ''Stygimoloch''.

** The ''Spinosaurus'' is a smaller theropod with long hind legs and a generic carnosaur skull, whereas paleontological discoveries in the decades since the game came out have revealed it to have had a crocodilian-head, short legs, and a ventrally flattened tail.

* BiggerIsBetter: The playable [[RaptorAttack raptor]] here is not your usual ''Velociraptor'', but ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaraptor Megaraptor]]'', which is only slightly smaller than many other bigger dinosaurs like ''T.rex''.

* EarlyBirdCameo: A spinosaurus long before [[Film/JurassicParkIII the third film]], albeit much more different in size, design and sound. It size and overall shape (minus the sail) make it look more like a raptor. Also Stygimoloch, which made its first onscreen appearance in ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'' 19 years later. Stiggy incidentally has the same coloration as the game’s Stygimoloch.

* StockDinosaurs: Many of playable dinosaurs are this: ''Albertosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Giganotosaurus'', ''Pachycephalosaurus'', ''Styracosaurus'', ''Triceratops'', and ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Notably, ''Velociraptor'' is absent. ''Stegosaurus'' makes a cameo appearance in the sound options.

*** ''Spinosaurus'' is the largest meat-eating dinosaur to have existed, but here it's [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/wdGkv.png the smallest]] of all playable carnivores, being nowhere near the size estimates of a [[http://sites.psu.edu/kateyorko/wp-content/uploads/sites/31945/2015/10/Spinosaurus-size.jpg bipedal]] or [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/s/spinosaurus-size.jpg quadruped]] ''Spinosaurus'' in real life.

* EasterEgg: If you unlock all locations and dinosaurs, you'll get an ad for Universal Studios immediately after. It doubles as HilariousInHindsight because it has a guy looking for his lost ''Triceratops'' and now with the end of ''Film/JurassicWorldFallenKingdom'', the dinos actually are loose on the mainland.

* ScienceMarchesOn:
** At release, ''Megaraptor'' was generally thought to be that - a mega-sized dromeosaur or dromaeosaur-like dinosaur with a massive killing claw on its foot. New fossils have reclassified it as more related to tyrannosauruses, and that the killing claw was on its hand.
** ''Spinosaurus'' is depicted as having long legs, a round sail, and a generic theropod head, as was common prior to the early 2000s. Current reconstructions depict it as a large semiaquatic animal with a crocodilian head, short hind legs, and an M-shaped sail.

* AnimalsNotToScale: The game has several examples, and all of these are based upon the ''T. rex'' being its [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/t/tyrannosaurus-size.jpg actual size]] which it accurately resembles, when comparing it to the size of humans in-game. These dinosaurs play this trope straight:
** ''Suchomimus'' is a fairly large predator in [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/s/suchomimus-size.jpg real life]], but it's a bit smaller than ''T. rex''. Here however, it is [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/5wKCV.png quite a bit larger]] than ''T. rex'', with its size and bulk being comparable to that of the ''Spinosaurus'' from ''Film/JurassicParkIII''.
** ''Acrocanthosaurus'' is around the same height as ''T. rex'' in [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/a/acrocanthosaurus-size.jpg real life]], but it's not quite the same length as it. In this game, it is [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/9neH6.png taller, longer and bulkier]] than ''T. rex''.
** ''Megaraptor'' in [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/m/megaraptor-size.jpg real life]] is certainly a large predator, but it is far smaller than ''T. rex''. Here it's not far off from being the same [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/Xk8N.png height and length]] as ''T. rex''.
** ''Styracosaurus'' is by no means the smallest ceratopsid in [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/s/styracosaurus-size.jpg real life]], but here it is incorrectly portrayed being [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/SU0tg.png almost identical in size]] to ''Triceratops'' when compared to ''T. rex''.
** ''Albertosaurus'' is among the larger tyrannosaurs in [[http://www.oldearth.org/curriculum/dinosaur/Albertosaurus_scale.png real life]], but it never reached the same size as ''T. rex''. Here, it's [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/mrzc.png a bit taller]] than ''T. rex'', while being fairly similar to it in length.
** ''Cryolophosaurus'' is around the [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/c/cryolophosaurus-size.jpg same size as Megaraptor]] in real life, but similarly to it, it is [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/08/KqeCV.png much larger]] here. It's even slightly taller than ''Albertosaurus''.
** ''Compsognathus'' is [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/c/compsognathus-size.jpg one of the smallest]] dinosaurs in real life, with the largest ones barely not reaching an adult human's knee in height. It's [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/08/qpI8.png much larger]] here, so it would be a bit easier to kill one in order to regain health.
** ''Stygimoloch'' is only around [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Pachycephalosaurus_scale.png half the height of an adult human]] in real life and stands 3 meters long. In-game however, it is a good [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/z2uDY.png four times taller and longer]] than in real life, now being almost the same size as ''T. rex''.
** ''Pachycephalosaurus'' is about [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/p/pachycephalosaurus-size.jpg twice the size]] of ''Stygimoloch'' in real life. Here, ''Pachycephalosaurus'' is larger than in real life, but [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/UYVOD.png still smaller]] than ''Stygimoloch'', despite suggestions that the latter is a juvenile ''Pachycephalosaurus'' in real life.
** ''Spinosaurus'' is the largest meat-eating dinosaur to have existed, but here it's [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/wdGkv.png the smallest]] of all playable carnivores, being nowhere near the size estimates of a [[http://sites.psu.edu/kateyorko/wp-content/uploads/sites/31945/2015/10/Spinosaurus-size.jpg bipedal]] or [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/s/spinosaurus-size.jpg quadruped]] ''Spinosaurus'' in real life.

** ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'', as explained above.
** ''Giganotosaurus'' is one of the few theropods confirmed to be [[http://shipwrektyt.com/uploads/monthly_2016_01/giganotosaurus-size.jpg.478d1d875acafbbdb0ff0627f0af3a9f.jpg larger than]] ''T. rex'' in real life, and [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/2Xx7g.png in-game]] it's still larger than ''T. rex'' but not to a ludicrous extent.
** ''Carcharodontosaurus'' is around the same size, if not slightly larger than ''T. rex'' in [[http://shipwrektyt.com/uploads/monthly_2016_02/carcharodontosaurus-size.jpg.adf9304fad9cc0c46414fe0d1f472ff7.jpg real life]], and here they are also [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/ciKVB.png near identical in size]].
** ''Ankylosaurus'' is the largest ankylosaur known in [[http://sites.psu.edu/kateyorko/wp-content/uploads/sites/31945/2015/10/ankylosaurus-size.jpg real life]] and [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/nrxjt.png in this game]], its size is accurate to the upper estimates it could have reached.
** ''Triceratops'' was the largest ceratopsid in [[http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/images/species/t/triceratops-size.jpg real life]] and its size [[http://i.picresize.com/images/2017/01/05/w3qNx.png in-game]] is accurate to the one in real life when compared to ''T. rex''.
