Premise

[edit]

Dino Ranch is set in a world where humans and dinosaurs live alongside each other. While Dino Ranch is first and foremost a working, self-sustained ranch run by the Cassidy family, it also serves as a dinosaur sanctuary.

Characters

[edit]

Dino Ranch is operated by the Cassidy family, consisting of Bo and Jane Cassidy and their 3 children, Jon, Min, and Miguel, and dinosaurs.

Main

[edit]
  • Jon (voiced by Tyler Nathan in Season 1 and Jacob Soley in Season 2 onwards) is 10 years old, the oldest kid in the Cassidy family, the leader of the three siblings and rides Blitz, the speedy Velociraptor. Jon is an aspiring dino-trainer who is an expert on dinosaurs, and a terrific athlete.
  • Min (voiced by Ava Ro) is 8 years old, the middle child in the Cassidy family who is the only female of the trio, and rides Clover, the loving Brontosaurus. Min is a dino-doctor in training and uses her medical expertise to help any sick or injured dino who needs Dino Ranch's help. Sometimes Min will be the leader of the Dino Ranchers and the Flyer and Rescue Squad instead of Jon.
  • Miguel (voiced by Jacob Mazeral) is 6 years old, the youngest child in the Cassidy family, and rides Tango, the tiny but mighty Triceratops. Miguel is an inventor and loves to build things, especially new inventions he's come up with.
  • Blitz (voiced by Joshua Graham) is Jon's best buddy and the fastest Velociraptor around.
  • Clover (voiced by Deven Mack) is a bighearted Brontosaurus and Min's dino-doctor assistant.
  • Tango (voiced by Athena Karkanis) is a mighty Triceratops who loves to bash things and has incredible strength. She is Miguel's best friend and helps him build things.
  • Bo (or "Pa" to the Dino Ranchers) (voiced by Scott Gorman) is the father of Jon, Min, and Miguel, and husband of Jane. He is an expert rancher and tends to the dino herds with his T-Rex, Biscuit.
  • Jane (or "Ma" to the Dino Ranchers) (voiced by Athena Karkanis) is the mother of Jon, Min, and Miguel, and wife of Bo. She is the head dino doctor of the ranch and runs the Hatchery with her Parasaur, Quack.
  • Biscuit is Bo's Tyrannosaurus and the lead dinosaur of Dino Ranch.
  • Quack is Jane's Parasaurolophus and her dino-doctor assistant.
  • Thunderbolt is a Dimorphodon who's as fast as lightning & is Jon and Blitz's flying partner who has a Turbo-Claw.
  • Cloud is a gentle Thalassodromeus who is Min and Clover's flying partner who has a Dino Buggy.
  • Twister is a mighty Tapejara who is Miguel and Tango's flying partner who wields a Dino-Digger.

Recurring

[edit]
  • Thunderfoot is a towering Spinosaurus with a big appetite, this dino is the king of the badlands.
  • Angus is the Cassidy's tough, yet temperamental field plowing Triceratops.
  • Tara Dacktle (voiced by Shechniah Mpulwana) runs the Dino Airport with her dad, Zachary, and Pterodactyl pal, Wilbur. Bold, adventurous, and a bit of a daredevil, Tara's the best Pterodactyl-flyer around for when the Dino Ranchers need a helping hand from the air.
  • Wilbur is Tara's high-flying Pterodactyl pal and the head of the Dino Airport's fleet of rescue Pteros. The massive pterosaur is an expert flyer and can transport all of the Dino Ranchers through the sky in his Dino Porter.
  • Thundertot is Thunderfoot's child that debuted in the episode "Miguel VS Thunderfoot".
  • Boomsy is a baby T-Rex who lives with Tara & her dad at the Dino Airport.
  • Zachary Dacktle (or "Captain Dacktle") (voiced by Deven Mack) is Tara's Pterosaur-flying dad; an upbeat and uber-enthusiastic pioneer of Pterosaur flying. Zach is a kind and loving parent, who's also a bit flighty and his head is always in the clouds.

Antagonists

[edit]
  • Clara Tinhorn (voiced by Samantha Weinstein) is the oldest (despite her stature) sibling and leader of the raptor-riding Tinhorn Trio, the Dino Ranchers' mischievous rivals. The Trio likes to mess with the Dino Ranchers and their dinosaurs, and pull nasty stunts like taking a wild T-Rex egg.
  • Ike Tinhorn (voiced by Jonah Wineberg) is the middle child of the Tinhorn Trio, and likes to challenge Clara's authority.
  • Ogie Tinhorn (voiced by Shayle Simons) is the youngest of the Tinhorn Trio, and while he likes to go along with his older siblings' naughty plans, he has a soft heart and occasionally helps the Dino Ranchers do the right thing as well.
  • Sonny the Kid (voiced by Ian Ho) is the greatest dino rustling mastermind of all time- or so he likes to say of himself. Sonny is a dinosaur super-fan and loves pulling rustling heists so he can ride on the amazing dinosaurs he admires so much. But while he is an incredible trickster, he's a terrible rider.
  • Beans and Gravy are the T-Rex Duo.
