Brontosaurus

Specifically pertaining to the *Brontosaurus baxteri* species native to the 2005 *King Kong* film, after living on Skull Island for millions of years, their ancestral *Brontosaurus* population on Skull Island had evolved to give live birth, usually in litters of two to three. This was done to give calves, who could walk within hours of birth, the advantage of maneuverability to escape Skull Island's vicious predators. Herds were led by a single Bull *Brontosaurus*, who let off pheromones that prevented non-alpha *Brontosaurus*es from reaching sexual maturity, so as to keep it as the father off all young. When females matured, they left to form new herds, leaving beta males, who seldom reached the size of a female behind, where they were effectively distractions for predators to keep the breeding stock safe. If predators did attack while grazing, *Brontosaurus*es could send warnings to other members of the herd by stomping its feet on the ground, allowing the vibrations to sound the alarm.

* **Rise of the Titans:** While searching for Ann Darrow, who had been kidnapped by King Kong, Carl Denham and his crew came upon a herd of *Brontosaurus* grazing. Denham attempted to film the dinosaurs, but the brontosaurs suddenly became agitated and began to stampede. The crew ran from the herd, with many of the men being trampled beneath the sauropods' massive feet. Denham and the others soon learned what the *Brontosaurus* were running from; a pack of *Venatosaurus*, small predatory dinosaurs descended from dromaeosaurs. The *Venatosaurus* pounced on their prey, causing the *Brontosaurus* to fall over, crushing the humans beneath them and causing rock slides, while some of the men were mauled by the *Venatosaurus*. Eventually, Denham and some of his crew managed to escape the stampeding herd and continued their trek through the island.
* **The Fate of the Furious:** While grazing in a narrow valley, a herd of *Brontosaurus* were happened upon by a group of human filmmakers just as a pack of *Venatosaurus* made their move. Sensing the danger, the sauropods began to flee. Shaking the ground with their steps, they ran toward the humans as the predators snaked in between and around them. Their thundering footsteps caused small rockslides off the valley walls, but when one man turned to shoot at a *Venatosaurus*, he missed and struck the lead *Brontosaurus*, who toppled over and tripped all of the stampeding dinosaurs behind it. The wall of sauropods were crawled over and preyed upon by the Venatosaurs before they moved on to the running humans.

## Dinosaur Kingdom

While a herd of *Brontosaurus* were traversing one of the ancient streets in the jungles of Skull Island, a group of humans drew close in order to film them. However, shortly after they began to shoot, a pack of *Venatosaurus* leaped off of ledges on the streets and attacked. This prompted the *Brontosaurus* began to stampede, and to trample on the filmmakers. Out of fear, one of the humans shot at the front-most *Brontosaurus*, causing it to trip and fall. This lead to the rest of the herd tripping over its wounded body, resulting in a massive pile-up of the dinosaurs. The *Venatosaurus* snapped at some of the *Brontosaurus* as they walked over the dense pile to get to the smaller prey.

* **Operation Genesis:** Brontosaurs gets scared of predators and starts to stampede while running with humans until the raptors to hunt people and herd of gigantic herbivorous long-necked dinosaurs.
* **Fallen Kingdom:** Brontosaurus herd is going to fall down and the humans getting hurt and pain.
