There is a long scene where the animals accidentally inhale laughing gas and act like they're high. They have some dark humor dialogue

The dinosaur presents a dead dinosaur (ends up being alive) for her babies and a huge severed dinosaur leg (not graphic). There are many scenes where dinosaur skeletons are used in scenes

In a detailed flashback Buck pulls out the evil dinosaur's tooth and uses it as a sword. Later when the dinosaur appears again the empty socket can be seen.

In the English version, a character implies he chopped a T-Rex’s p***s off, saying this made it into a “T-Rachel”. In the Portuguese translation, the equivalent of the word “tranny” is instead used as part of this joke. No other slurs, but there’s moment where the characters see a butterfly and one of them says “I knew him when he was a caterpillar, you know, before he came out”. It’s unclear if the joke is meant to be insulting towards the butterfly, and if the butterfly’s meant to be gay or trans.
