Dinosaurs Carnivore Relationships

The Idea
Currently, large/medium and small carnivores can live together. They live with the larger roaming normally and the small in a state of panic. I think that the larger ones should assert dominance over the small ones.
Food
When a small carnivore goes to a feeder a large/medium carnivore might try to chase it off. When the larger finishes, the smaller comes in to eat. For goats a complicated script might sometimes play out. Basically, a small carnivore kills a goat and then a large/medium carnivores comes. The small one tries to drag it away, but it gets stolen. Then it would go to a normal feeding animation.
Large Only
An interesting new behavior in large carnivores might be actively hunting small carnivores (with the Hunting status while it tries), but getting caught and the prey escaping.
Medium Only
Every now and again a medium carnivore might try and shoo away a small carnivore. The small one would try fighting back, only to be knocked away by the head/tail of the larger meat-eater.
Dilophosaurus Only
If a large carnivore tries to hunt a Dilophosaurus it will spit venom and escape while the predator tries to get it out of their eyes.

That's about it. Tell me what you think.

These sound interesting.

One more thing I feel like including here for the Indominus rex and small carnivores:
In Jurassic World, it is shown that the Indominus rex attacked the raptors when they rejected her as their alpha. In this game, all small carnivores don’t have to worry about getting killed by it as long as they’re not tranqed with an active Indominus close by. But, should the Indominus rex’s comfort meter reach the “red zone”, that where it will mercilessly kill the small carnivores, to show not only uniqueness to it, but to also show how extremely dangerous this dinosaur is, providing you a challenge to keep both types comfortable should anything that stresses them happen.



On a side note, this reminds me of another thread I made weeks ago with for the relationships of certain armored herbivore species and small carnivores should either side get stressed for care, challenge, and behavior variety.

Dinosaurs - “Three dangerous armored dinosaurs” on small carnivores

The general idea is to have three of the current in-game dinosaurs have variety from the other in-game dinosaurs. In this idea’s case, to have three of the current over a dozen armored herbivores have a new mechanic on small carnivores, to provide more of an in-game challenge, especially for...

It does seem weird that different species of carnivores (or carnivores and herbivores) live together in harmony, besides occasional territory battles. Another idea would be large carnivores trying (and failing) to hunt sauropods.

Well you know, I did make a thread where acros, gigas, and carchas were to hunt sauropods in pairs. It’s a potential save game effect should it be implemented, unless you find a way to keep both types, the sauropods and pairs of the three said large carnivores, okay around each other.
