Dinosaurs Constantly Escaping

Look at their stats, are any red? And check the overhead map view, are there gaps in the fence (I had the on my first red cage, that was annoying for guests
)
I put up a second fence (on the first island) to try & keep my ceratosaurus from munching on my guests.
Im on 2nd island now & finding similar, though Iv not built a 2nd fence as yet I can see I'm going to have to if they keep escaping.
Not sure if the fence breaks are just random places or if the dino's go for similar sections, might see if i can double fence where they break through....might work.

If you keep the stats in the green (not red), then all you need for the ceratosaurus is the light electrical fence. I have had no breakouts so far for the first 2 islands.
In reality a Dino would never destroy a heavy electric fence, the fence would fry it dead.
Give them all a good look-over for needs that are in the red. Often with herbivores, it's either a lack of space, not enough forest (or grassland), or not enough of their own kind in the enclosure. Some species, like ankylosaurs, also get antsy pretty quick if the overall population of the enclosure is too high.
I have noticed that social animals (aka, most herbivores) on larger pens occasionally lose track of their herd, freak out and immediately charge the fence.
The dino AI still needs some tweaking to make it a little more natural instead of brainless emosaurs.
This is the #1 cause of my dino breakouts, next to emo-departments which sabotage the park.
There needs to be an option to throw department heads into the Raptor pit.

You don't want to know how often it happened to me in all my years breeding gerbils that one desocialized and freaked out. Things like that happen. Especially if you give a bunch of social animals too much space
The only breakouts i've had on three islands are with the dracorex, the raptors, and a diplo
In reality we have no dinos to test that assumption
We all know that: "Life finds its way.."
Little known fact. JWE Dinosaurs are immune to electricity.
Crichtonsaurs and Ankylosaurs are the worst when it comes to this, at least from my experience.
This.... this this this.
I found that out the hard way... with Ankylosaurus...have a pen that is too small, with too many other Dino's in there and oooh boy those ladies are cranky. I had one that just kept escaping, didn't kill anyone, just generally went for a gallop around to snarl at some weird looking two legged two armed creatures that she sees outside her pen.
At that point I only had 3 paddocks... 1 for herbivores and 1 for Carnivores, and 1 mixed as an experiment aaand she'd probably not enjoy being in the other mixed pen since there were already two of her species in there and a third would annoy them... those two already spend a good amount of time warding of the Dilophosaurus... Id rather not upset the balance and have a Dilophosaurus follow an Ankylosaurus out of the paddock, spitting on and eating all the guests.
Rule number 1... keep them happy...
Rule number 2... keep them happy...
Rule number 3... if you cant keep them happy, feed them to the biggest Carnivore you have in the park.
I've never had an herbivore break out and have had plenty of mixed enclosures however i give ankys their own. I put 3 in a medium sized pen and they're as happy as a clam. Love those guys.
Raptors on the other hand do not like the storms and broke out almost every time until I got heavy electric fences. They still damage the fences but haven't got out yet.
