Dinosaurs Tyrannosaur and Large Carnivore Socialization

Currently, when housing two tyrannosaurs together, they will have dominance display fights but little else if you modify them to allow two to live together. They were social animals by all data, both in the real world and in the films and books. They should do more than dominance display and snap. We saw social behavior from them in The Lost World, we know that are capable of it and it should be in the game for all large carnivores when they are modified or can have more than one in an enclosure.

Have them rub snouts, sniff at each other, stand around and roar and "talk", purr or growl. Hell, the rexes in the films showed pack hunting behavior essentially when looking for their baby. They worked together even though they squabbled a little over food.

Basically, the large carnivore AI needs tweaked to be more social and realistic.

The rexes in the second movie are male and female. The ones in the game are only female and unless Frontier adds male dinosaurs then there should not be any interactions with dinosaurs that have a social of 1-1. Baby dinosaurs are not in the game either so it is impossible to see 2 rexes chase down a goat or herbivore together.

I might also add that I believe that Tyrannosaurus Rex is the only tyrannosaur in the game.

The rex in the game is based on Rexy but its not Rexy. The devs have said they are not ever adding breeding and thus no genders so its up to the player. I still think that Rexes should socialize with each other; it would add to their realism. Even other females in a wolf pack will socialize with each other; i never said it needed to be breeding/mating behavior; animals are more than just breeding/mating. Female lionesses do most of the hunting and fully socialize. No reason rexes were any different.

Explain to me why you chose to talk about lionesses, the share little to no similarities to t-rex. There is also no evidence that female t-rexes hunted and socialized more.

The link doesn't work...

And the footprints that's allegedly being thrown around as evidence are from young T-Rexes. There's never been any evidence that grown T-Rexes socialised or lived in packs. Def not female either.

And you use lionesses as an example, which are the only big cats, that are social out of 7 species... So from that logic it's highly likely that Rexes lived alone.
