The dino gif has 96 layers and the background needs removal from each layer. There is no really easy way.
But first....
The gif is optimised. Use Filters -> Animation -> Unoptimise which creates a new image where every layer is complete.
Change the new image to RGB for editing purposes. Image -> Mode -> RGB and save as a working .xcf image.
Then up to you how the background is removed. Some options, there will be other options. On a layer-by-layer basis
Once you have all 96 layers complete, that new background is a gif, convert it to RGB and resize down to the same size as the dino image.
As previous post there are scripts/plugins to add that to each layer before re-exporting as an animated gif.

- The most labour intensive Use the eraser tool to remove the background
- Make a good initial selection to delete the background. Subsequent layers, modify the selection using quick mask.
- The g'mic plugin interactive background removal, keeps adjustable settings between editing each layer.
