The carnotaur, finds itself overwhelmed by the herd's combined might and backs down. He is joined by Neera, and other members of the herd soon join in. Aladar bravely takes the lead, confronting the larger predator himself. Aladar orders the herd to stand together rather than scatter, so as to avoid being picked off.
Unfortunately, the Carnotaur arrives shortly after and the cornered herd begins to panic. After his battle with Kron, Aladar assumes the herd's leadership. Kron refuses to listen, and berates Aladar for leading the carivore to them. The next day, Aladar reaches the herd and tries to warn Kron about the approaching Carnotaur. Aladar manages to escape shortly after, unintentionally drawing the Carnotaur's attention. On the way there, he sees a dead Stygimoloch and quickly hides when he hears the Carnotaur coming to eat the Stygimoloch. The larger Carnotaur survives, however, leaving and roaring in vengeance, before continuing his search for the herd.Īfter Aladar and company find the Nesting Grounds, Aladar rushes back to warn Kron's herd about the rock pile and ravine blocking the main entrance. Bruton comes to the rescue and sacrifices himself by causing a cave-in, burying the smaller Carnotaur. Later, as Aladar, his family, friends and Bruton take shelter from a rainstorm in a cave, the Carnotaurs inevitably discover them and attack. That night, the Carnotaurs stop for water before noticing new tracks in the distance and resuming their hunt. As soon as Bruton tells Kron, he is left behind to fend for himself, having unintentionally led the predators to the rest of the herd. Bruton escapes, albeit injured, to warn Kron while the scout is dragged off and eaten. Later, Bruton and a scout are ambushed by the Carnotaurus while searching for water. The hunters then continue tracking the herd that Aladar, and his lemur family have recently joined. Near the middle of the film, two Carnotaurus scare off a pack of likeminded Velociraptors from the remains of a Struthiomimus. Like the other dinosaurs of the film's migration, the Carnotaurus have been driven out of their usual habitat by the meteor strike, and a pair of them have decided to follow the herd so as to obtain food in the arid landscape. Ultimately, the chase ends when the Carnotaur runs down and kills an unfortunate Pachyrhinosaurus, the slowest herbivore of the group. The Carnotaur bursts out of the treeline and lunges after the dinosaurs, smashing all but one of the eggs in an Iguanodon's nest in the process. The young Parasaurolophus runs out of the jungle in terror, getting the attention of many of the herbivorous dinosaurs. The young dinosaur looks up to where the reptile is, but before it can get close, saliva falls on the branch next to it, causing the young dinosaur to look up where the lizard landed: the nose of a carnotaur, which quickly awakens. The flying lizard eventually landed on what appeared to be the bark of a large tree. Both Carnotaurs are ambiguous in regards to their genders and it is never stated whether either is male or female.Ī Carnotaurus first appears at the beginning of the film where a young Parasaurolophus chases a flying lizard into the jungle. The two Carnotaurs that serve as the film's main antagonists are noticeably different in size, though it is unknown whether they are a mated pair or just relatives. Their arms are stubby and vestigial, as the bipedal predators no longer require them for locomotion. The Carnotaurs are fearsome, bipedal, carnivorous dinosaurs with reddish scales, long tails, sharp teeth, and short horns. Their easiest quarry would have been stragglers or much smaller creatures, as even these powerful predators could not contend with an entire herd and struggled against strong individuals like Aladar and Bruton. But it is important to note that, like most predators, they are best at picking off weak and/or solitary prey.
MESOZOICA WIKI MOVIE
The two in the movie might be a mated pair or perhaps siblings, as they have a very strong bond, and the surviving one shows a powerful grudge against Aladar, trying to drag him over a cliff, possibly to avenge the death of his friend.Ĭarnotaurs, are extremely vicious, dangerous, bloodthirsty, and feared, described as a "mouthful of teeth with a bad attitude" by Eema. Though they have no dialogue in the film, they are not without a certain level of intelligence, as they were smart enough follow the herd's footprints to find food and water. Like most natural predators, they see prey creatures as little more than food. Although they serve as the film's antagonists, Carnotaurs are simply carnivores who require meat to survive, and have no real malicious intent.
