While the camarasaurus would have a lot of rage built up because so few have ever heard of it and the raptors got far more screen time in Jurassic Parks I, II, and III, I am concerned that its bite attack would be less than helpful. The sabre-tooth's teeth are quite sabrous, but as it is a cat, would it be too lazy to help fight off the attacking raptors? Could it be convinced with fish-flavoured treats? Or do we have to throw balls of yarn in the raptors' direction? And the Komodo- does it feel a tight kinship with the deadly raptors, or can it be bought/coerced over to the human side? I just don't think that Hesperosuchus is trustworthy to either side and hope that the raptors feel the same way, because if they get allies, we're really in trouble. Also, where can we get some of that stegosaurus armour? Beware the ever-present threat of raptors! - caitlen m.
