As it is right now, combat between dinosaurs is shockingly bad. Hunting consists of dinosaurs going some distance behind another, starting to run, locking onto its target if it's slightly off centre and then entering an animation. Combat is practically the same, except there's some more variation since dinosaurs can run away or kill the other depending on their stats, but it honestly looks pretty bad since it's just a slug fest with long pauses between hits.
The developers have improved several ways in which dinosaurs behave, they can now sleep, they can move in groups, they won't kill constantly even if they're not hungry, etc. The way hunting and combat works however is the single biggest barrier from them behaving more like actual creatures instead of lines of code. Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, whilst it had basic combat, was far more interesting than what is in this game since the combat was in real time and didn't just depend on one dinosaur being a herbivore or one having more attack/defence. Whilst I can't suggest exactly what you could replace the current combat with, something along the lines of what JPOG had would be much better than what is in the game currently since it's just clunky and boring as absolute hell right now.
