It then runs to the other nests, but gets frightened away by dinosaur mother guarding them. A herd of Brachiosaurus also called a Giraffatitian in the lakes.

The Parasaurolophus runs out of the forest and gets chased by the Carnotaurus, which panics all of the dinosaurs present in the Nesting Grounds. A
