This show provides examples of:

• Adaptation Expansion: The Broker / Soyona Santos and Barry get a lot more focus and screen time compared to their appearances in Dominion.
• Advertised Extra: Major the Majungasaurus is featured heavily in the trailers and posters for season 2 and appears only in two episodes.
• All Animals Are Dogs: Smoothie, like Bumpy before her, is an Ankylosaurus who tends to act like a young puppy. Geba, a Gallimimus, displays similar characteristics like eagerly following and cuddling Zayna.
• An Arm and a Leg: Brooklyn lost her left hand to Ghost the Atrociraptor, but is revealed to have survived albeit she's now Faking the Dead.
• Animal Assassin: The main threat the group faces are a trained group of Atrociraptors, since making it look like a random animal attack is easier to cover up than a simple murder.
• Animal Nemesis: At the beginning, Darius has been chasing the Allosaurus who killed Brooklynn for months. He knows it's just an animal and can't help it, but he can't rest easy knowing it's still out there and could hurt someone again. Unbeknownst to him, Brooklynn managed to escape from the Allosaurus.
• Angry, Angry Hippos: In Up the River, Camp Fam and Zayna get attacked by an aggressive hippopotamus that fights with a Suchomimus at the end of the episode, with the next episode showing that the spinosaurid killed it.
• An Offer You Can't Refuse: Daniel Kon attempts to make one to Kenji: Kenji becomes CEO of one of Daniel Kon's new schemes in return for information about why Brooklynn was meeting Daniel Kon.
• Ascended Extra:
  • In Jurassic World Dominion, the Atrociraptors mainly served to be in a chase scene. Here, they are the main threat out to eliminate the Nublar Six.
  • After appearing in the final episode of season 1, Suchomimus has a much larger role in season 2.
  • Pyroraptor, Giganotosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, and Therizinosaurus all have the bigger amount of screentime than they had in Dominion.
• Asshole Victim:
  • In Down On The Ranch, Carl threatens to euthanize Bumpy and turn Sammy in to the DPW for harboring her. Later in the episode he gets killed by the Atrociraptors.
  • Dr. Sarr is a More Despicable Minion to the Broker and even fed his own crew to his dinosaur so nobody mourns as he’s brutally devoured in the tunnels, with Santos even enjoying it.
  • The Handler is responsible for the deaths of multiple people throughout the show and even leaves Brooklynn for dead after their Enemy Mine. She’s killed in the season 3 finale by a Carnotaurus.
• The Atoner: When Brooklynn visits Daniel Kon, he laments Kenji not coming to visit because his son is the only thing he has left in the world. When Kenji does eventually come by, Daniel attempts to offer him a position as CEO of his new company, claiming it’s his way of trying to make peace with his son. It’s ambiguous if he’s being genuine until Kenji it ends to permanently leave him and he sincerely begs for his son to stay with him a little bit longer. He dies sacrificing himself to protect Kenji and Darius before he can ever truly make amends with the former.
• Attack Animal:
  • The Atrociraptors. The Raptor Handler and Soyona Santos can direct them to hunt and kill specific individuals.
  • In Season 2, a blind Baryonyx can be directed to kill people based on snapping. Unfortunately, it follows the sound of the command irrespective of who gives them.
• Beastly Bloodsports: As in Dominion, the black market in Malta shows dinosaurs pitted against each other while a bloodthirsty crowd cheers.
• Bad People Abuse Animals: Both Carl and Bobby the Dino King treat dinosaurs like either pests or sideshow attractions.
• Bait-and-Switch: Two happen in Rest Stop:
  • Before Ben and Darius hit the road again, Mo stops them and says they can't go. It turns out that he gave them snacks for free as a thank-you gift for saving his gas station.
  • At the beginning of Ben's flashback, he receives a mysterious call from someone. At first it looks like that flashback took place before Ben reached Darius' cabin, but then it turns out that the call was from Brooklynn who visited Ben, before the night she seemingly died.
• Bat Deduction: In Season 1 Episode 1, a person in on the DPW conspiracy instantly realizes that a random person on Dark Jurassic is a member of the Nublar Six (Five), because the individual is interested in the mysterious circumstances of Brooklynn’s death. This is in spite of the fact that Brooklynn was once an influencer with tens of millions of fans as well as an investigative journalist of some merit. Any of her followers may have been taking an interest in the circumstances of her death.
• Better to Kill Than Frighten: The Broker towards the Nublar Six, though other individuals opt for the reverse.
  • Season 3 has Chuck Desai and Counsellor Corso, two men who are obstacles to Biosyn's plans. Desai, a university professor, is frightened by the Handler and told to support Biosyn having dominion over all dinosaurs. Corso, an Italian Regional Counsellor, was supposed to have the same treatment but Dodgson tells the Handler to have him killed instead.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: A notable trait of the Handler is that she never speaks, not even in response to questions directed to her. She is only heard whistling to control her dinosaurs, and does not speak until the Season 3 finale.
• Big Bad Ensemble: Soyona Santos is a prominent queenpin, and alternates between working with, for, or employing other criminals. We see her meeting with Dodgson, calling Delacourt, and issuing orders to the Handler. But after the Handler and Delacourt's deaths, as well as Santos' arrest, Dodgson takes back the role as the sole BigBad left.
• Bilingual Bonus: Nonna, who speaks only Italian despite understanding English, calls Kenji "Tesoro", meaning "treasure".
• Birds of a Feather: Ben and his girlfriend Gia; both studied paleontology, thought that Desai's support of Biosyn was suspicious, and share a similar belief about technology being too easily traceable.
• Black Market: With the Broker set to take over the one in Malta, she sends Brooklyn in to get a feel of the place. A few of the Nublar Six will eventually be present when the events of the movie happen.
• Breather Episode:
  • Season 1's "Brothers"; After the first three episodes put the protagonists in grave danger at some point or other, this one is much more subdued, focusing on the trip to warn Kenji and his concerns. The characters are never in any immediate danger.
  • In Season 1, Episode 6 functions as one being more of a throwback to Camp Cretaceous tonally and sitting in between an episode where Kenji's Dad, Daniel Kon, is murdered by Atrociraptors in front of Kenji and Darius and an episode where Matteo provides a flashback of Brooklynn being killed by the Allosaurus. While the threat of being hunted continues, it's heavily dampened because Ben, Sammy, and Yaz are in a well-protected dinosaur free zone. Even once the Becklespinaxes appear, they function more as wild animals than attack dogs, equally targeting bystanders and the main cast.
• Breaking the Fellowship: The series starts with the Nublar Six recovering from this, as they have all drifted apart but are now reuniting thanks to a new threat. By Season 3, due to different opinions on whether Brooklyn needed their help, they split into two groups and while set up to meet again, the season finale ends without a reunion.
• Bull Seeing Red: In The Adjustment, one Sinoceratops freed by Dinosaur Liberation Now attacks the car driven by Brooklynn after seeing its red taillights.
• The Bus Came Back:
  • The opening intro shows the return of Rexy, who has been absent in animation since the third season of the previous series. Bumpy reunites with Ben in the third episode, having been living in Sammy's ranch for some time by this point. Two last episodes of first season show the return of Big Eatie.
  • Red, the only Atrociraptor absent in Season 1, appears in Season 2.
  • After being absent in the previous seasons and Camp Cretaceous, Triceratops finally appears in Season 4.
• Canon Immigrant:
  • The official teaser shows the first appearance outside the live-action movies for Allosaurus.
  • Pachyrhinosaurus is finally brought into the main canon after having been cut from two films and only appearing in side material.
  • Suchomimus makes its movie canon debut. Although it had been name-dropped all the way back in Jurassic Park III as a possible identification for the film's Spinosaurus and was even featured on the Jurassic World Website, it has previously been relegated to supplemental materials and video games.
  • Majungasaurus, having previously only appeared in video games and whose DNA was used to create the Indominus rex as stated in supplementary material, makes its appearance in Season 2.
• The Cavalry: In The Marooned Five, as the Suchomimus menaces Darius, Sammy, Yaz, and Kenji, Aminata and Zayna come charging in with the Stegosaurus trio, who ward off the large theropod easily.
• Cavalry Betrayal: In episode 6, Sammy, Ben, and Yaz are trapped on a narrow bridge in Ben's van as two Becklespinax approach. A DPW van pulls up nearby, and the trio are relieved, thinking they'll be saved... and then the DPW agents start shooting at them.
• Character Focus: Season 2 gives Brooklynn a major spotlight. Starting from episode 3, she begins a solo subplot that spans the rest of the season. Two out of the season's ten episodes are directly focused on her.
• Chekhov's Gun: Double subverted in Down On The Ranch. Sammy warns Darius and Ben about a loose floorboard when she first invites them in. When the Atrociraptors attack, she narrowly avoids stepping on that same floorboard and alerting them, only to then knock down the pitchfork she set against the wall after warning them about the floorboard.
• Cliffhanger:
  • In first episode, as soon as they escape the first two Atrociraptors, Darius and Ben are confronted by a third outside.
  • The episode Brothers ends with DPW capturing Bumpy at Sammy's ranch.
• Compliment Backfire:
  • Season 2 Episode 3 has a rather extreme version of this. Darius’ attempt to tell Brooklynn how amazing she is results in his accidentally revealing that he’s in love with her. This results in things being awkward between them hours before Brooklynn plans to show Darius the Dino Drop. Trying to avoid this awkwardness prompts Darius to no show/show up late to the scene, resulting in Brooklynn’s apparent death.
• Conspicuous in the Crowd: When Brooklyn goes to the black market, she is a lone woman with bright green hair and a prosthetic arm, and gains several stares as a result. While most leave her alone, one man does try to test her, and another recognized and starts following her.
• Continuity Nod:
  • The show's intro has Rexy being chased by helicopter, similar to the Dominion opening scene/prologue.
  • The very gyrosphere Zach and Gray were in during Jurassic World is on display in King Dino's Prehistoric Playland.
  • Like in Jurassic World, Yaz uses a holographic projector to briefly confuse a predator with the hologram of another dinosaur, in this case a Tyrannosaurus to confuse a Becklespinax.
  • In the last episode of first season, Darius is luring an Allosaurus to combat Atrociraptors and Big Eatie in very similar way to how Claire Dearing lured Rexy out of her enclosure to combat the Indominus rex in Jurassic World.
  • In first episode, one of the radio voices expresses disdain for sharing the world with dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were released by Maisie in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
  • In The Marooned Five, Yaz recalls how they get marooned on Mantah Corp Island by describing Senegal's jungle as "not looking like uninhabited island of a deranged billionaire".
  • Brooklynn’s Dark Jurassic username is Ester Stone, a nod to a show she and a few of the other Nublar Six liked in Camp Cretaceous.
  • Ronnie’s Dark Jurassic username is Clever Girl, a nod to a phrase Robert Muldoon used for a raptor in Jurassic Park.
  • In Boiling Over, Ben reads on his phone events of Halfway Home where he and Sammy freed Stygimoloch's from "King Dino's Prehistoric Playland".
  • In "The Maze", Yaz reminds Brooklynn that Dr. Wu created the Indominus rex and Scorpios rex.
  • As Ben is wounded by the thagomizer and at risk of death, Yaz recalls that he was the first person she came out to in "The Leap".
• Creepy Mascot Suit: Whenever they are on video or conducting activities, members of the Dinosaur Liberation Now (DLN) wear a raptor mask over their heads.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: The fight between Big Eatie and the Allosaurus only lasts a few seconds and ends with the smaller dinosaur beating a hasty retreat.
• Darker and Edgier: Although Camp Cretaceous was not adverse to killing characters offscreen and showing the corporate exploitation of the Five Deaths in the wake of the Jurassic World Incident, Chaos Theory delves heavily into themes of government corruption, guilt, and PTSD stemming in the wake of dinosaur attacks on the mainland. The main premise of the show is also centered around solving Brooklyn's murder. Also, Kenji is forced to watch his father being mauled to death by the Atrociraptors. The ending credits get in on it too; rather than the sweeping heroic motif of the Jurassic franchise played over a black screen, a sinister and foreboding piece plays over the prominent location of the episode, as if to linger on the havoc and/or death that occurred at each site.
• Death Glare: The Atrociraptor handler shoots a withering glare at the Nublar Six as she's forced to retreat.
• Death Seeker: With his father’s death weighing heavily on his mind, Kenji begins pulling heroic but dangerous and stupid stunts, like running into a fire or jumping off the ship in the middle of a storm to rescue the dinosaur eggs.
• Defector from Decadence: With Mantah Corp Island cleared out and gone dark, Kenji has apparently given up his family’s immense wealth, and now lives in a camper van teaching rock climbing courses.
• Delivery Guy Infiltration: When Brooklynn sneaks into Soyona's apartment, she pretends to be a meat kebab delivery girl, both as a precaution in case Soyona is still there, and so she'll have an excuse for being there if she returns, claiming she meant to go to the floor below. Unfortunately, Soyona clocks the lie from the beginning, as her downstairs neighbor is a vegetarian.
• Dirty Cop: The Department of Prehistoric Wildlife are the first responders for any dinosaur-related activity, but sadly it turns out that many of their staff are corrupt and not above to murder. Jensen even breaks into his fellow DPW coworker Ronnie's home, and raises no objections when his DPW 'boss' is set to be killed.
• The Dog Bites Back: In episode 5, when Ben and Sammy free the Stygimoloch trio, the herbivores go full Headbutting Pachy and destroy much of the tourist trap before turning on its owner, Bobby Nublar.
• Domesticated Dinosaurs: The Mballo family has raised Geba the Gallimimus from a chick, and he loyally follows Zayna around like a trained animal. They’re even on good enough terms with the Stegosaurus trio near their farm to ride them briefly.
• Downtime Downgrade: Kenji and Brooklyn have broken up between the two series. Yaz and Sammy are a downplayed example, as they're still together but separated and there's strain on their relationship, which they overcome once they're reunited.
• Downer Beginning: It doesn't get any downer than opening the series with the reveal that one of the main characters from the first series is Killed Offscreen in a grisly dinosaur attack, and her death has severely impacted the other characters to the point that they weren't as close as before despite everything that they went through together. And that's before the Nublar Six find out that someone is deliberately trying to kill them one by one...
• Driving Question:
  • One for the entire series: who wants the Nublar Six dead, and why?
  • For the first season, why didn't Darius meet Brooklynn on the night she died? He finally answers it in the last five minutes of the season finale: He fell in love with her, but she didn't feel the same way, and he'd been avoiding her out of embarrassment. The guilt of it eats him alive for the rest of the season.
• Eaten Alive: Often the fate of those who face a dinosaur, and with villains, the scenes are portrayed as Karmic Death.
• Enemy Mine:
  • In "Batten Down the Hatches", the stowaway Nublar Six (Five) and the Dinosaur Traffickers are forced to cooperate to secure dinosaurs during a storm. The alternative is having the dinosaurs completely loose on the ship. The necessity of cooperation is amplified once the Majungasaurus gets out. As thanks, the captain allows them to escape using the lifeboat, rather than simply toss them overboard as he originally intended.
• Establishing Character Moment:
  • The Raptor Handler's reveal. She exits her car before the scene reveals her uncanny valley face. She then turns her head robotically and emotionlessly blows her whistle to order her raptors to attack the protagonists.
• Establishing Series Moment: Season 1, Episode 1 lets us know from the jump that we're in for much higher stakes compared to Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: First, a radio host mentions that one of the Nublar Six (later revealed to be Brooklynn) was killed by a dinosaur. Then it's revealed that not only was her death not an accident, but that the person who engineered it is also targeting the rest of the Six.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The handler of the Atrociraptors appears to care for the three raptors as by the end of the season she notices that the raptors are fatigued and injured and opts to retreat, instead of sending her raptors to their potential deaths. She’s even genuinely angry at Santos trying to sell them and dies protecting them in season 3.
• Evil-Detecting Dog: Smoothie is almost always the first to notice a nearby threat, even when said threat is visibly hidden by shadow or snow.
• Evil Versus Evil: Soyona Santos goes up against the Handler at the end of season 3.
• Eviler than Thou: Being the More Despicable Minion they are, both Dr. Sarr and The Handler attempt to pull this on The Broker. It doesn’t end well for either of them.
• Ex-Big Bad: Daniel Kon has now taken up gardening as a hobby and states his days of criminal activity are behind him. Although he does end up dealing with Brooklynn after she pressures him into it, he never does anything genuinely evil and his final action is to pull a Heroic Sacrifice to save Kenji and Darius.
• Facial Markings: Rio, a dinosaur vendor Brooklynn meets in the black market, has them. Considering the environment, he isn't the only Tattooed Crook around.
• Failed a Spot Check:
  • While Brooklynn’s body being gone is good from an evidence perspective, it should have tipped Jensen off that either the Allosaurus had eaten Brooklynn (or the rest of her) or that Brooklynn had gotten away. While killing a person would be quite easy for many dinosaurs to do, disposing of their bones (i.e. eating their bones) would be difficult for dinosaurs of comparable size to a human as the bones could not be easily swallowed in one piece.^note  Amongst dinosaurs, ''Tyrannosaurids'' evolved specific traits to enable easy bone consumption for their comparatively large boned prey. Given that Brooklynn’s arm seems to have been amputated by Ronnie instead of being cleanly bitten off by Ghost (the Atrociraptor), in-universe Atrociraptors are not good at disposing bone. Jensen was either unaware of this or forgot.
• Faking the Dead: The final scene of the first season reveals that Brooklyn actually survived her encounter with the Allosaurus at the cost of her hand and has opted to fake her death for unknown reasons.
• Family-Friendly Firearms: Somewhat justified, as all the bad guys are members of the Department of Prehistoric Wildlife, tasked with capturing dinosaurs alive and thus only carrying non-lethal weapons like tranq guns and cattle prods. Although it gets a little gratuitous when the two DPW employees sent to kill Yaz, Sammy, and Ben use tranq guns to shoot at the van and leave them prey for the Becklespinax rather than using actual guns. That said, at least one of them was smart enough to use the darts to take out Ben's van tires.
• Food Chain of Evil: The main reason Brooklynn survived was essentially the antagonists forgetting this trope was in effect. Cabrara sent the Allosaurus to kill her, while the Broker personally sent the Atrociraptor trainer to finish the job at the same time. As a result, the Allosaurus and the Atrociraptor pack got in a fight, and while Ghost managed to get her hand, Brooklynn herself survived in the confusion.
• Foreshadowing:
  • In Season 1, Darius being in love with Brooklynn:
    • He obsessively hunts the Allosaurus which killed her.
    • Calls her voice mail multiple times to hear her voice.
    • Attempts to hide his voice mails from Kenji.
  • Also in Season 1, Brooklynn being alive. While no single instance is a smoking gun, there are collective hints:
    • Her being eaten by the Allosaurus is never explicitly seen by any character: Darius, Matteo, or her final video.
    • Her phone can still make calls despite her being gone for at least a few months.
    • The rent for her secret apartment is still being covered.
    • Her motorcycle is allowed to stay in its parking spot, presumably after being unmoved for months, without any questions being asked.
    • The laptop in her secret apartment is on, unlocked, and potentially tracking ongoing dinosaur trafficking. Additionally, there's no sign of dust collecting on it.
  • In Season 3, how the Camp Fam will split on Brooklynn/Malta is foreshadowed by the “flashbacks” they have of Brooklynn in Season 1. The Nublar Five who are shown with “Brooklynn the friend” instead of “Brooklynn the journalist” go to Malta.
    • Ben remembers Brooklynn paying him a surprise visit at his university. He goes to Malta.
    • Sammy remembers Brooklynn working at Sammy’s ranch. She decides against Malta.
    • Kenji remembers breaking up with Brooklynn as she was always working. He decides against Malta.
    • Yaz is shown undergoing Dino-Immersion therapy with Brooklynn. She goes to Malta.
    • Darius sees Brooklynn in the Nublar Six return to the mainland newscast and remembers the night he didn’t show up for her. After some hesitation, he goes to Malta.
  • Additionally, whether a Camp Fam member will opt to be part of Team Malta or Team Let’s Go Home is also foreshadowed by whether they have issues with their biological family. Yaz and Ben aren’t shown having issues and opt for Malta without hesitation. Kenji and Sammy are estranged from their families and opt to go home. Darius was estranged from his family and Kenji, but resolves this as the series progresses. With Kenji’s blessing, he opts for Malta.
  • In Season 4, the plot’s focus on the interpersonal dynamics of the Nublar Six instead of the corporate malfeasance of Biosyn is foreshadowed by the ease with which Team Malta—Ben, Brooklynn, Darius, Yaz—enter Biosyn Valley. They land in the middle of the headquarters without anyone asking why they, not Soyona Santos, are there.
• For Science!: Dr. Sarr in Senegal, who created an eyeless Baryoynx to really test if the echolocation trait was successful. There is a strong implication that this was done without the Broker's orders or approval.
• Friendship Trinket: The reunion photo of the Nublar Six. Brooklynn, Ben and Darius all kept the photo in a spot they’d frequently see. Darius kept it on his car’s sun visor, Ben kept it on his dormitory desk, and Brooklynn had it on her phone’s lock screen and on a wall she frequently uses. It’s implied that while the Nublar Six kept in touch afterwards, at least until Brooklynn’s death, the photo was from the last full reunion the Nublar Six had because their busy lives have since kept them apart.
• The Ghost: Owen Grady is mentioned during the third season as it overlaps with the events of Jurassic World Dominion, but due to the established events in the film he never comes across the Nublar Six. His presence is alluded as the Nublar Six see the aftermath of events that went down in the Black Market and Soyona sending one of the raptors after him.
• Girlfriend in Canada: Ben reportedly has a girlfriend in Europe. Darius doesn't buy it, but the fact that he gives Yaz some advice on long-distance relationships implies he's not lying. The Season 3 trailer shows that she actually exists.
• Gory Discretion Shot: Every death is either offscreen or with some kind of barrier in the way. The site of Brooklynn's supposed death is the only instance of a blood stain.
• Groin Attack : Rare female examples. The Handler delivers one to Brooklynn during their car fight in “No Escape” and then Soyona to the Handler in “Morituri Te Salutant”.
• Happily Adopted:
  • Kenji saying he calls Mrs. Bowman once a week and has nothing but nice things to say about her.
  • In Season 3, Noona effectively adopts Kenji as a grandson.
  • Despite being Bumpy's kid and presumably Ben's responsibility in Bumpy's absence, Smoothie is taken in by Kenji.
• Happy Ending Override: Camp Cretaceous ends with the kids' triumphant return to civilization, having not only escaped the perils of the numerous ordeals they went through on Isla Nublar and Mantah Corp's island but also managed to bring down Mantah Corp's Blood Sport operations in the process, too. Flash forward six years later, the Nublar Six's formerly close relationship has become strained due to various personal reasons, and they find their lives in peril once more ever since the dinosaurs have become rampant on the mainland. Worst yet, someone is deliberately trying to kill them and apparently succeeded in killing Brooklynn, rendering everything she went through six years ago moot. The rest of Nublar Six now has to scramble to reunite together and tie up whatever issues that they may have between each other in order to uncover a vast global conspiracy and try to survive whatever danger that is targeting them.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Pulled by Daniel Kon to save Kenji and Darius from the Atrociraptors.
• History Repeats:
  • Episode 1 of Camp Cretaceous and this series both:
    • Begin with Darius obsessing over a task in memory of a deceased loved one: winning a game to get a free trip to Jurassic World in memory of his father and hunting the Allosaurus which killed Brooklynn to have closure over her death, respectively.
    • Contain a moment where Darius’ brother Brandon checks up on him
    • And end with Darius and a member of the Nublar Six about to be attacked by a raptor.
  • Both series have Kenji and Darius have a falling out over Darius’ actions endangering Brooklynn.
  • In Season 2, Episode 10, given the choice of her mission or being with Kenji, Brooklynn once again chooses her mission.
• Horrifying the Horror: In Batten Down The Hatches a Suchomimus, a dangerous Baryonyx relative, looks ready to break out of its crate when the power goes out… and then the creature just retreats back inside and lays down. Turns out it was avoiding the even more dangerous Majungasaurus stalking the decks.
• Hospitality for Heroes: After Ben and Darius save the gas station in Rest Stop, the clerk lets them stock up at the store for free.
• Humans Are Bastards: On par with the Jurassic franchise, even the most vicious dinosaurs are just following their predator instincts, humans are the ones training and torturing them to become weapons.
• Improperly Paranoid: Ben spends most of the Rest Stop assuming they're being followed and everyone is out to get them, when it's just normal people doing every day things. When he finally calms down, it's Darius who spots a suspicious black car that is actually waiting for them, though he doesn't voice this to Ben.
• Internal Homage:
  • Season 2 Episode 7’s fight between the Suchomimus and Majungasaurus is shot like the fight between the T-Rex and the Spinosaurus in Jurassic Park III. While retreating from the Majungasaurus, the Camp Fam is then blocked by the reappearance of the Suchomimus. The retreat from this second animal causes the two animals to face off and fight to the death while the heroes get away.
• Intrepid Reporter: Brooklynn and Davi both go after the stories that caught their interest, and both end up in dangerous situations as a result.
• Just in Time:
  • Averted in Episode 6: the DPW arrive just as the Becklespinaxes have Ben, Sammy, and Yaz trapped on a bridge. The DPW then proceed to destroy the gang's tires, ensuring there's no escape.
  • In Episode 10: Matteo rescues the Nublar Six (Five) before the Handler has her raptors finish them off
• Just Think of the Potential!: Brooklyn outright tells Santos this when the latter is considering selling the dinosaurs, ways to take control of Biosyn's offers, and even recruiting more of the Nublar Six to work for her.
• Kid Hero All Grown Up: The series is set six years after Camp Cretaceous, and the Nublar Six are now young adults. Ben in particular has had a massive growth spurt, making him the tallest of the group.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: After a pitched battle against Big Eatie, the Atrociraptors can barely stand, so their handler reluctantly calls them off rather than attempt to have the wounded animals finish the hunt and possibly be killed. The Allosaurus also quickly realizes it's outclassed and retreats while the getting is good.
• Last Episode, New Character: After being absent from the previous series and three previous seasons, Triceratops finally appear in the last three episodes of season 4.
• Let's Split Up, Gang!: After Darius, Ben, and Sammy find Kenji, Sammy insists on splitting up so she can find Yaz (joined by Ben since it's his van she's taking), while Darius patches things up with Kenji and the two investigate why Brooklynn went to visit Daniel Kon. They reunite in the season finale, having independently wound up at the Big Bad's operation.
• Lightning Reveal: In Batten Down The Hatches, while rounding up some escaped dinosaurs in the storm, Darius tries calming down a Gallimimus… and then the next lightning flash reveals the escaped Majungasaurus crouching right next to both of them.
• Logo Joke: Just like in the previous series, the logos of Dreamworks Animation and Amblin Entertainment appear in the intro as continents on the Universal globe logo, but this time, Universal logo is portrayed normally instead of being portrayed as Pangea, while all three logos have city lights on them. This makes sense, given that dinosaurs are now living on the mainland with humans, hence the change to the opening sequence.
• Love Triangle: Ultimately subverted. Both Kenji and Darius fell for Brooklynn, but Darius only developed feelings for her after she and Kenji broke up (which Kenji initiated) and she never reciprocated. On top of that, they both think she's dead, so any question of a choice is out the window.
• Make It Look Like an Accident: Darius wonders why whoever is hunting them insists on using raptors since there are simpler ways to kill a person. Ben points out that animal attacks, especially in a world now filled with dinosaurs, are easier to write off as a horrible accident, as opposed to more effective and thus more obvious methods of murder.
• Malevolent Masked Men: While they have good intentions, the Dinosaur Liberation Now group is a combination of activists and vigilantes trying to free caged dinosaurs. Their actions could endanger not just others but themselves.
• Maybe Ever After: Brooklynn and Darius are in an ambiguous position at the end of the show. While both confessed to loving the other person, they leave it ambiguous as to what’s the exact nature of the love, e.g. platonic, romantic, etc… The mutual confession even ends with a tight hug instead of a romantic kiss. In the epilogue, it’s possible to interpret them as beginning to explore something romantic:
  • Brooklynn greets Darius in a manner reminiscent of couple’s greeting each other after work.^note  In American media, there’s a convention of couple’s greeting each other with a kiss upon returning home Although it’s not a kiss, their hug is longer than the hugs Darius gives to Yaz and Sammy a little prior and Brooklynn and Darius’ arms are still in contact after they let go. The framing and music even change during their embrace.
  • Brooklynn is staying in Darius’ cabin. Unlike Yaz, Sammy, and Ben, there’s no indication this is temporary. Yaz and Sammy are staying while they work with Dr. Wu and Ben is staying to be caretaken by Kenji.
  • Brooklynn tells Darius that she’s back now, no longer running off to do other things, while Darius notes that he loves having her around
  • The two are even returning together to rebuild Biosyn Valley, while Kenji will be staying in Darius' cabin to take care of Ben; and Yaz and Sammy will be in the US working with Dr. Wu on fixing the fallout from Biosyn’s locusts and conducting support groups for farmers traumatized by Biosyn’s prehistoric locust swarms
• Mêlée à Trois: A three-way free-for-all happens between the Atrociraptor pack, the one-eyed Allosaurus, and Big Eatie in the season 1 finale, with Big Eatie almost effortlessly sending the other carnivores packing to lick their wounds.
• Misplaced Retribution:
  • After Brooklynn's death, Darius hunts the Allosaurus responsible. Season 2 reveals that the Allosaurus is a major reason Brooklynn’s survived, as it unintentionally fended her off from a raptor attack.
• Missed Him by That Much: at the end of season 4, the Nublar Six with little options to escape Biosyn Sanctuary and get medical attention to Ben decide to use the Drone Helicopter that they used to arrive in order to escape and they arrive at their landing spot............just exactly mere moments after Kayla Watts and the others fly off on it.
• Mistaken for Dying: Bumpy spends the second half of season 1 sick to the point of seeming death, only for it to be revealed that her egg got stuck in her birth canal and she's right as rain once that's resolved.
• Monstrous Cannibalism: In Batten Down The Hatches, the escaped Majungasaurus killed and partly ate the other Majungasaurus it was put in a crate with. Truth in Television, as fossil evidence has shown evidence that Majungasaurus would engage in cannibalism with others of its species.
• Mood Whiplash: In the final minutes of Season 3’s finale; the show goes from:
  • Brooklynn threatening Yaz and Darius with a Carnotaurus if they don’t follow Soyona and her to Biosyn Valley, suggesting Soyona’s corruption of Brooklynn may be nearly complete.
  • It then switches to the triumph of Brooklynn and Team Malta (Ben, Darius, and Yaz) over Sonoya Santos when the authorities arrive and it’s revealed Brooklynn had just been stalling for time
  • The triumph is then interrupted by the uncertainty of Team Let’s Go Home (Sammy and Kenji) looking over Biosyn Valley.
• More Despicable Minion: Both Dr. Sarr and the Handler are this to the Broker, who’s capable of showing mercy and only kills when necessary, and even grows to care for Brooklynn after she saves her. Sarr feeds his crew to his blind Baryonx and the Handler is willing to kill absolutely anyone, even with her bare hands and can’t even be bothered to help Brooklynn despite their Enemy Mine.
• Mundanger: In season 2's "Up the River", the show takes a breaks from dinosaur attacks to have the group menaced by a normal, though still quite hostile and dangerous, hippo.
• Murder Is the Best Solution:
  • Despite Professor Desai already proving the success of the Handler's intimidation, Dodgson still orders her to kill Corso.
  • As Rio points out, people who purchase trained dinosaurs tend to have too much money and too many enemies.
• Mythology Gag:
  • When they meet Kenji in his camper, Kenji takes up the same lounging pose that Malcolm rather memetically did in the first movie.
  • It's revealed that multiple dinosaurs, including Bumpy, have managed to reproduce despite the stricter biological controls used in the Jurassic World generation of dinosaurs. This calls back to the original failure to contain the dinosaurs and the Arc Words of the franchise: "Life finds a way.".
  • The scenes with the Atrociraptors on Sammy's ranch are deliberately staged similar to the first film's iconic raptors in the kitchen scene. One of them is seemingly in the process of figuring out how to open a door when Sammy barricades it with a pitchfork.
  • Bumpy holding off Panthera in the climax of said episode also calls back to the scrapped scene of a Ankylosaurus taking on the Velociraptor pack in Jurassic Park III.
  • Yaz mentions that the dinosaur free island uses West Indian Lilac to deter dinosaurs. She even mentions the dinosaurs "knowing to steer clear of them" directly referencing a conversation between Ellie and Dr. Harding in the first film.
  • The Carnotaurus that is contained in the DPW secret smuggling facility has green coloration, similar to carnotaurs that appear in original Michael Crichton The Lost World novel.
  • The set up for the fight between Big Eatie and the Allosaurus is almost identical to the one from the climax of Jurassic World, where a smaller underdog theropod (although still quite large in its own right) is led by a road flare to fight the main theropod threat, down to the flare being thrown right at the the bigger theropod in question.
  • A modern animal shows up just in time and gets in a fight with a prehistoric predator that allows a character to get away just like in the final issue of Jurassic Park: Devil in the Deserts (with the combatants in the comic being a polar bear and a Pteranodon while the show uses a hippo and a Suchomimus). Unlike the comic book, it doesn't end well for the modern animal.
  • Midway through Season 4, the Quetzalcoatlus picks up the van the Nublar Six are in and drops it; the van lands between two trees suspended high up in the air, prompting a dinosaur-free intense sequence of the characters having to escape without falling. This is reminiscent of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, in which a similar scene occured when the Tyrannosaurs pushed the trailer over the cliff, notorious for its tension despite dinosaurs not being the main threat.
• Naïve Newcomer:
  • Mike, the new DPW worker who realized he was not prepared for an encounter with the Pachyrhinosaurus, but luckily the experienced Ronnie and Darius step in.
  • Brooklynn sees Davi as this, warning the fashion-reporter attempting to become an investigative-reporter that he is putting himself in danger.
• Never Mess with Granny: Nonna, the grandmother of Gia, combines this with elements of Cool Old Lady and Apron Matron. Tough and often angry-sounding (as she only speaks Italian despite clearly understanding everyone's English), she allows the Nublar Six into her home and zeroes in on Kenji's fraying mental state. She is also one of the few humans who will cause a dinosaur to hesitate in their attacks.
• No Brows: The Atrociraptor handler has eyebrows so thin they might as well be invisible, making her look very eerie.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: The Captain who let the Nublar Six (Five) go in return for helping the crew during Season 2 Episode 1, albeit while tracked is later killed for it by Soyona Santos.
• "Not So Different" Remark: One of the reasons Santos accepted Brooklyn's offer, after the latter demonstrated a ruthlessness that impressed the Broker.
• Nuclear Family: The Mballo family is introduced consisting of a daughter, a mother, and a father. The Nublar Six rarely mention their family members, although it turns out Sammy's case is justified as she is now estranged from them.
• Obliviously Evil: The arrogant Dr. Sarr created a dinosaur that hunt through echolocation, then tested it out by feeding the rest of his team and staff to it. He's more upset at not being appreciated for his genius when almost everyone else reacts with horror.
• Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure:
  • The end of Season 2 has a falling-out between Kenji and Ben, when the former gets furious with the latter for hiding the fact that Brooklynn is still alive.
  • Season 3 expanded on the above after all of Camp Fam learned that Brooklynn is alive but refused to come back with them and chose to go with the Broker. As the group doesn't know the full picture of why Brooklynn did what she did, the five campers are split over what to do with her. Kenji and Sammy rather understandably saw Brooklynn's decision as a genuine betrayal and decided against saving her (Team Let's Go Home) while Ben, Yaz, and later Darius argued that there's more to Brooklynn's actions than they seemed and chose to go rescue her (Team Malta). While Kenji manages to reach an understanding and maintain his friendship with Ben and Darius, Sammy and Yaz's disagreements unfortunately are too great and lead to them breaking up.
  • Season 4 has one between Darius and Brooklynn, as the former is upset with the latter for her deception and being seemingly insensitive about what she made the others go through.
• Poor Communication Kills: Part of the problem that plagued Yasmina and Sammy's relationship is that Yasmina has gotten control of her PTSD and wants Sammy to stop treating her like a child, only for Sammy to retort about how would she know that since Yasmina didn't put any effort into talking with her.
• Previously on…: The first episode of season 2 begins with a quick summary of season 1.
• Putting the Band Back Together: Ben convinces Darius they need to bring back together the rest of the Nublar Six to solve Brooklynn's death and find out who's after them.
• Redemption Equals Death: Daniel Kon's last act is to tackle one of the Atrociraptors trying to kill Kenji, which gets him mauled to death by the pack.
• Red Right Hand: The Allosaurus that seemingly killed Brooklynn is blind in one eye.
• Rescue Arc: By the time Brooklyn's friends learn she is alive, she is already with the Broker. Her friends are divided between those who want to rescue her and those who believe Brooklyn would see it as an Unwanted Rescue. For those who decide to rescue her, Brooklyn asks them to rescue Davi instead.
• Resigned to the Call: Lampshaded by Kenji when he and Sammy are on their way to the airport, only to see the Pyroraptor escaping back to town. Sammy sighs, and Kenji says next time some other people can go for the rescue.
• The Reveal:
  • In Season 1 Episode 10, it's revealed by Jensen that the Atrociraptors were sent after Brooklynn the night she was attacked by the Allosaurus to prevent things being left to chance. Additionally, though unbeknownst to most [e.g. the Nublar Six (Five) and the corrupt DPW], Brooklynn survived the attack.
  • After being left unidentified throughout the entirety of Season 1, the Broker is finally revealed in Season 2 to be none other than Soyona Santos.
• Running Gag: The Campers reacting to Ben's massive growth spurt. Darius is first, mentioning he'll never get used to the change. And vivacious Sammy comments twice about how hugging him feels very different now.
• Saved by Canon:
  • In Season 1's finale, the Atrociraptors not being eaten by a presumably hungry Big Eatie, as they appear in Jurassic World: Dominion.
  • In Season 2, Soyona Santos and her Atrociraptor Red win a standoff with a larger, albeit blind, Baryonyx, as they appear in Jurassic World: Dominion.
  • In Season 3, despite increasing tensions between Santos and Dodgson, we know they won't have a chance to turn on each other given the events of the above movie.
  • In Season 4, Rexy finds herself overwhelmed by a pack of Atrociraptor right after she killed the Giganotosaurus, but given she appears in the epilogue for Jurassic World: Dominion, she's clearly gonna make it out alive.
• Secret-Keeper: Ben learns that Brooklynn is alive in season 2, but chooses to keep that information to himself, at first because he can't say for sure that he's right, and later because she personally asks him not to tell when he finally manages to contact her.
• Series Continuity Error: Considering the timelines of both Dominion and Chaos Theory: Kayla, Owen and Claire depart Malta for Biosyn before Ghost is killed during the colosseum showdown and Santos's arrest. In turn, Brooklynn, Darius, Ben and Yaz leave Malta for Biosyn after the arrest, meaning that Kayla's group should arrive first, right? Wrong! Multiple episodes after Brooklynn's group arrive, Kenji sees the Quetzalcoatlus chasing Kayla's plane above the valley. How did Brooklynn's group arrive so long before Kayla's?
• Shown Their Work:
  • Besides being an extremely aggressive and territorial Lightning Bruiser said to kill hundreds of people each year, the hippopotamus is shown to have horizontal pupils.
  • The Majungasaurus in the show is shown being cannibalistic. The species is one of the carnivorous dinosaurs we have solid evidence of cannibalism for.
  • Darius and Ousmane Mballo (Zayna's Dad) both refer to the Stegosaurus tail spikes as thagomizers. Thagomizers is a term informally used to refer to the tail spikes of the Stegosaurus. The term originated from The Far Side.
  • The Suchomimus is shown preying on Dimorphodon and Pteranodon. It is known that spinosaurids ate pterosaurs, as a pterosaur vertebrae was found with a spinosaurid tooth embedded in it.
  • With the exception of Geba the Gallimimus, the Pachyrhinosaurus, and the Monolophosaurus; the dinosaurs featured in Senegal do have ties to Africa. Although not from Senegal, the Majungasaurus, Suchomimus, and Kentrosaurus could be found on the continent at some point: Madagascar, North Africa, and Tanzania, respectively. While the more well-known Stegosaurus and Baryonyx did not live in Africa, the larger groups they were part of Stegosauria and Spinosauridae respectively, did have members in Africa. Finally, a few fossils in Africa were once considered a species of Brachiosaurus before the species was assigned to a different genus Giraffatitan.
  • The Baryonyx cloned by Dr. Sarr sports pale coloring and lack of eyes, a combination of traits that's common in animals that spend their whole lives in the darkness of caves such as the olm.
  • Season 3 finally introduces feathered dinosaurs to the show. Specifically Pyroraptor which has fairly accurate feathering for a dromaeosaurid. Yutyrannus and Anchiornis, both dinosaurs known to have had feathers according to fossils, are among the candidates for the owner of the mysterious feather found by Darius and Kenji. Therizinosaurus, also depicted with feathers, appears in Season 4.
  • In the first episode of Season 4, Darius correctly classifies Quetzalcoatlus as a pterosaur.
  • In Season 4, Ben's injuries are medically consistent. The thagomizer pierces Ben in the lower right abdomen, a location where major blood vessels, e.g. the abdominal aorta aren't generally located ^note  Blood vessel placements and forms, at least smaller ones, are variable for people. . This matches his slowly bleeding out. Moreover, Ben suffers heart complications during surgery. Heart complication, such as those caused by infection or sepsis can happen from puncture wounds not being treated early enough.
• Silent Antagonist: The handler of the Atrociraptors is never seen speaking beyond a whisper. Averted in the final episode of the third season, where she yells out to the word "stop" to a Carnotaurus… which promptly devours her.
• Simultaneous Arcs: The third and fourth season overlaps with the events of Jurassic World Dominion. As the season nears its end, we see some moments of the film's scenes where Santos meets Delacourt and the French Intelligence, albeit from different angles, while the fourth season shows the events of the film's third arc from the point of view of the Nublar Six.
• Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: The series opens with Brooklynn seemingly getting killed off by an Allosaurus, with the plot then being driven by who would want her and the rest of the Nublar Six dead and why. As it turns out, Brooklynn was only Faking the Dead, though she did lose a hand when she got pursued by the Allosaurus only to be attacked by Atrociraptor. The trope still applies to Daniel Kon, though, who returns in one episode to pull a Redemption Equals Death to save his son from the handler's Atrociraptors.
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome:
  • Yasmina is still suffering from PTSD due to the events she had gone through in the first series, which had grown worse after the dinosaurs had found their way onto the mainland. However, while she still has issues dealing with dinosaurs, it doesn't mean she's helpless in life-or-death scenarios that she had grown used to. This is why she's considerably upset by Sammy constantly treating her as if she can't handle bad news and needs someone to support her all the time. In fact, it was Yaz who ends up having to help calm Sammy down when both of them and Ben get into another life-threatening situation, though Yaz admits that it was also her love for Sammy that makes her will herself to be brave enough to protect her.
  • Kenji and Brooklyn's relationship ultimately didn't work out after Brooklyn spent too much time focusing on her work as an investigative journalist and ignored Kenji's attempts to mend the growing space between them.
  • Although Brooklynn did survive the Allosaurus attack, she did not escape unscathed and lose a hand, which explains the pool of blood that Mateo and Darius found. Despite having survived multiple dinosaur attacks in the first series, it doesn't mean that her luck will hold out all the time and that she - and by extension, the rest of Nublar Six - could make fatal mistakes easily if they aren't careful. Brooklyn even admits to Ronnie that she wasn't careful enough that fateful night.
  • Darius attracts the Allosaurus into attacking Big Eatie in similar way to Claire siccing Rexy on the Indominus. This sets up the expectation of a similar epic dinosaur fight to the one in the movie, but because Big Eatie is multiple times the size of the poor allosaur with much stronger jaws she just ragdolls it immediately and sends it running away with its tail between its legs (figuratively, since theropods can't bend their tails that way).
  • Yaz and Sammy find themselves in a Car Chase with a villainous DPW employee. She decides to ram the car into a dinosaur pen to cause a stampede as distraction, similar to what the Nublar Six used to do back on Isla Nublar. However, as the captured dinosaurs have been spending quite some time living among humans and thus are more familiar with seeing cars come and go in their vicinity, they don't get panicked and simply just turn to look for a moment before going back to what they were doing, forcing Yaz and Sammy to come up with a new plan to evade their pursuer.
  • In order to protect her precious raptors from a Carnotaurus, the Handler does the infamous hand gesture that Owen is known for. While she has also used this to great effect on her own personally trained raptors, she has no relationship whatsoever with this Carnotaurus, so after a momentary bit of confusion it promptly devours her .
  • Numerous near accidents occur when a character driving a car takes their eyes off the road for an extended period of time.

  • In Season 4, Team Malta lands in Biosyn Valley, the Biosyn Headquarters, without anyone batting an eye. Given that Biosyn is a major global corporation with likely thousands of employees in their headquarters alone, this is a very reasonable outcome. Tons of people, e.g. government officials, contractors, employees from other sites, business people, would be expected to come and go throughout the year. Regular employees would understandably assume that these new strangers had some legitimate business reason for being there.

• Talking to the Dead: Darius occasionally calls Brooklynn's phone, which goes straight to voice mail, as a coping mechanism since he feels responsible for her death. Things naturally get awkward when they are given her phone and Kenji finds the messages.
• Time Skip: The trailer confirms that six years have passed since the first series, taking place between the events of Fallen Kingdom and Dominion.
• Took a Level in Badass: Kenji is no longer the lazy boy that he once was in Camp Cretaceous, having taking up mountain climbing as a hobby and eventually becoming a climbing instructor. He's good at it enough to make a decent living out of it even after losing all of the Kon family's fortune after his father's arrest. His climbing skills become quite useful when he finds himself back in the action once more.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Spending 5 years in prison and a year in a halfway house seems to have mellowed out Daniel Kon. He appears genuinely hurt when Kenji plans to leave him behind for good and when given the chance to abandon his son again to save himself, he instead sacrifices himself to protect Kenji from the raptors.
• Trailers Always Spoil:
  • While Season 1 opens with the fact that one of the Nublar Six was killed, it's left ambiguous which individual this is. The Season 1 trailer dissolves this tension by revealing it's Brooklynn.
• Trashy Tourist Trap: King Dino's Prehistoric Playland in episode 5. It apparently consists of a few dinosaur cutouts, a carnival game or two, a few food and toy vendors, and a trio of neglected and poorly-cared-for Stygimoloch.
• Truth in Television: The Nublar Six get into numerous near accidents when driving cars while distracted. They are young adults, statistically the group car insurance companies charge the highest rates for (i.e. insurance companies expect young adults to have the highest number of accidents)
• Uncanny Valley: The Atrociraptor Handler. She has a high forehead with No Brows and her eyes are a bit bigger than they are on other characters. Her mannerisms (rapidly swiveling and tilting her head, never speaking, her blank and wide-eyed expression) have more in common with the raptors she commands than a human being.
• Vocal Evolution: Darius's voice is noticeably deeper here than in Camp Cretaceous, as Paul Mikel Williams was the youngest lead cast member and as such the only one to go through puberty between shows.
• The Unseen: In "All Night Long", we only see the eyes and roars of the lions.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Earnest and his Dinosaur Liberation Now members/allies. As if her brief time undercover with them wasn't enough, Brooklyn realizes she is also descending into becoming one.
• We Used to Be Friends: Darius and Kenji had a falling-out because the latter feels the former is responsible for Brooklynn's death. They reconcile after Darius admits he also feels responsible for it.
• Wham Line:
  • Episode 1 of the series contains two:
    • The radio broadcast in the opening minutes first episode reveals that one of the Nublar Six was killed by a dinosaur after returning home. A conversation between Ben and Darius later reveals that it was Brooklynn.
    • After Ben is unable to provide any evidence for his theory that the Nublar Six (Five) are in danger, Darius gets upset with Ben and accuses Ben of prank calling him earlier. Ben notes that he didn't call Darius at all. Immediately after the shadow of a raptor appears by Darius' trailer window.
• Wham Shot: Played for Laughs in the premiere when Ben makes his first appearance. Specifically, it's the moment he stands up showing how much he's grown taller and broader by a massive margin.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Vito, one of the residents in the Italian town, was looking for his dog Arturo when he meets the Pyroraptor. Arturo may have been eaten, but may have also escaped.
• What the Hell, Hero?: It's not just the friends calling each other out, even an outsider like Davi gets into it when he tells Brooklyn that she's sold her soul for her mission.
• Whole Episode Flashback: Season 2 Episode 3 is one from Brooklynn’s perspective. It highlights her series defining events up until her reintroduction in the Season 1 finale , e.g. her meeting with Daniel Kon, her breakup with Kenji, Darius’ love confession, the night of the Allosaurus attack, her recovery from the attack, and her decision to continue being 'dead'.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Dudley Cabrera learns, in his last moment of life, that not only is he small potatoes, but the true boss has also ordered the Atrociraptor handler and her raptors to off him.
