Violence
Predators stalk and hunt prey. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes they are not. Nothing bloody or graphic, but younger children may be disturbed by scenes that show baby dinosaurs in the mouths of predators.
Animal Mating
Dinosaurs court and mate but nothing explicit is shown. Parents will be able to explain to younger children.
