* PredationIsNatural: [[{{Discussedtrope}} Discussed]] in "Rocco Fights a Dragon", where the animals agree to help a mother turtle protect her babies from a Komodo dragon. The emotionally-driven Rocco argues that they can't let the "horrible" dragon eat the "adorable" turtles, but Noah maintains that the dragon has as much right to live and thrive as anyone else, that taking sides with the turtles against him just because of their own feelings is wrong.

* CarnivoreConfusion: On the island, carnivorous animals like the bears subsist on fish and other foodstuffs, ensuring the herbivores don't have anything to fear. "Rocco Fights a Dragon", however, has the animals trying to help a mother turtle protect her eggs from a hungry Komodo dragon.


Added DiffLines:

* CurbStompBattle: The titular fight in "Rocco Fights a Dragon" is one of these in Rocco's favour, as the terrified Komodo dragon doesn't understand why Rocco is angry with him and makes no effort to fight back.

** [[{{ZigZaggedTrope}} Zig-zagged]] in the case of Mammothsbody and Salome, who use their trunks to hold tools. While there's no evidence for mammoths doing this, captive elephants are smart enough to use things like paintbrushes, so it's not too unreasonable to depict mammoths doing so.

Added DiffLines:

* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: The animals on the island are never stated to be more than just animals, but they occasionally slip into PartiallyCivilizedAnimal territory. For example, Noah walks on his hind legs, which normal polar bears don't do, and uses his forepaws to hold objects despite not having opposable thumbs.

Added DiffLines:

* BottomlessFuelTanks: Averted. The island's volcano, which is used to steer the island across the ocean, only has a limited amount of lava inside it, so Noah has to conserve it as much as he can. A plot point in Season 3 is Noah trying to find more fuel for the Fire Bowl.
