Nigersaurus- suchomimus relation

[LoneWolf]

I placed 3 nigersaurs with 1 suchomimus. I watched for 30 minutes. no killing ^^
only need these things
=>big enclosure
=>big pond with 1-2 fishing spots

result: suchomimus wanders pacefully with no killing the nigersaurus
Almost like cretaceous Africa 110 MYA

As far as I know, the I-Rex should be able to kill all sauropods.

I only seen this in the campaign mode (Minding you that it was I-Rex, not Spino, but still)

You are a bit late, there are few more posts since then ...

I'm sorry but no. Nigersaurus is classed as medium herbivore. ANY carnivore can kill it. I've had albertos kill it on Sorna campaign.

More wrongs than rights ...
If it would be a medium herbivore than small carnivores would attack it. Which they don't.

As you can see it is classified as a GIANT herbivore, like all the other sauropoda. (despite weighting meager 4 tons, which is 1/3 of a Triceratops)

But it surely doesn't act like one. Large carnivores DO attack it. Large carnivore panics it.
At least an addition that brings more than just a few nice animations

It behaves more like an armored herbivore... I think that is the most accurate 'real' classification.

Treat it like an ARMORED herbivore it works just fine.

That's really cool. I thought the suropods were invisible.. Never thought of dragging I-rex into them.

Large Carnivores can kill the nigersaur, however sucho, majunga and such are considered mediums and will not hunt it. I do not know if indoraptor and spinoraptor will hunt it though as I generally don't use either.

Oh no ... so we spent so much time playtesting and clarify the attack rules and now someone throws in a new rumor ...

Infos for campaign mode and unaltered sandbox settings (which can alter dino behaviour):

+ Small and large carnivores do NOT attack each other (includes Indominus Rex)
- - Indoraptor does attack though

+ No carnivores attack giant herbivores
- - Indominus Rex does attack though
- - the new Nigersaurus is attacked by large carnivores, treat him as armored herbviore instead!

+ small carnivores do not attack armored herbivores
- - treat Nigersaurus as armored in terms of this rule
- - by implication large carnivores do attack armored

The classification (giant, small, armored etc.) of a dinosaur can be found in its info tab (or online).

All carnivores classified as large attack Nigersaurus (includes Majunga, Spinoraptor, Suchomimus etc.). Find the classifiaction in the info tab, there is no 'medium' carnivore classification so far...

I should inform you that the "medium" carnivore classification is an arbitrary fan-made category determined by whether an animal fights or instantly kills iguanodon. Officially the classification does not exist however.

Disproved as outlined above.

So that's the source of his assumption.
