Carnotaurus was bred for the original Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar; two specimens were present on Isla Sorna during the 1990s and more were later exhibited at Jurassic World and encountered during the eruption of Mount Sibo in 2018. Between 1998 and 2004, Isla Sorna experienced an overpopulation crisis which resulted in the total collapse of its fragile ecology. On the other hand, the larger but slower Tyrannosaurus directly competed with it for food, and conflict between the two was common. This disproves another new recent fan theory that the Carnotaurus in Jurassic World: Dominion was Toro.

Other herbivores known to inhabit its territories in northeastern Isla Nublar include the armored Stegosaurus, Peloroplites, and Ankylosaurus, the hadrosaur Parasaurolophus, the pachycephalosaur Stygimoloch, and the sauropods Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus. These deleted concepts and alternate scenes suggest that this dinosaur inhabited the central and western parts of Isla Sorna. Sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s, at around the same time Carnotaurus was being described and understood, International Genetic Technologies succeeded in cloning the dinosaur from ancient DNA recovered from amber samples.Although he destroyed a trap set for him, but was lured into another one using compressed air tanks and a taser to light an explosion, heavily scarring and burning Toro in the process.

It does not appear to be particularly fond of company, as they are not seen in large groups and often are solitary. The weight of the Tyrannosaurus rex was sufficient to crush the neck of Carnotaurus with a single footstep.

Two Carnotaurus were recreated for the original Jurassic Park, but they were never transferred to Isla Nublar. More recent studies support it having a weaker bite and a more flexible skull, leading some to suggest that it was a pursuit predator that swallowed relatively large prey whole.InGen’s Carnotaurus exhibit shorter and more robust teeth than those of the only known fossil, which has longer, more slender teeth. This predat The Carnotaurus adopted a low stance, indicating its readiness to pounce, but it hesitated due to the potential threat posed by the larger predator. In other parts of the world, new abelisaurid species were discovered (such as Majungasaurus), which helped paleontologists better understand Carnotaurus.

When Toro first encountered the campers, it is possible that he experienced significant pain upon seeing them. Population statistics remain unknown for that period of time, as do the animals’ range; John Hammond‘s statements in 1997 would imply that the Carnotaurus inhabited the island’s central reaches. The coloration of the two Carnotaurus in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom are likely influenced by the two Carnotaurus from the Jurassic Park toy line by Kenner. They also build foreboding territorial markers as nests, utilizing the bones of animals they have killed.Unfortunately we currently have no examples of a Carnotaurus forging a positive bond with a caretaker.

It is conceivable that once Toro recovers from his physical injuries, he may continue to pursue the campers in his hunt.Everything that is known about Carnotaurus comes from a single near-complete skeleton, discovered by Argentine paleontologist José Bonaparte. Its roars are similar to that of the Carnotaurus that appear in the movies, consisting of vocalizations from an orangutan and styrofoam with a double bass bow. An extreme example can be observed in a specimen retrieved by Ken Wheatley, which shows damage to the left side of the skull in the form of a broken horn and large facial scars which appear to come from a spinosaur’s claws.
