How do you get two animals to fight?

[jpinard]

Is there a trick to getting two animals to fight that normally wouldn't?

[Lord Trilobite]

Either dinosaurs can fight each other, or they cannot.

Large carnivores for example will never attack small carnivores or giant sauropods. But they will attack any other large carnivore or medium or small herbivores.

Generally carnivores will favour attacking herbivores when they are hungry.

[ZombieHunter]

Carnivores will attack herbivores nearly on sight if you put them close enough together and the carnivore is hungry, which is almost always the case.

If you put too many carnivores together they will also begin to fight depending on their relative size. Smaller carnivores will stay away from the big ones so fights between them never happen.

Raptors are beastly things and deceptive but they simply will not go near the larger carnivores b/c they aren't stupid.

Infos for campaign mode, not for some strange sandbox settings (which can alter dino behaviour):

- Small and large carnivores do NOT fight each other
- - Except Indoraptor (EDIT)

- No carnivores fight giant herbivores (unless Indominus Rex; the new Nigersaurus is attacked though, treat him as armored herbviore instead!)

- small carnivores do not attack armored herbivores (treat Nigersaurus as armored in terms of this rule)

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

Thanks for all the help and clarifications!

- small carnivores do not attack armored herbivores.

Not entirely correct. BTW i never seen the class large herbivores only small, medium, and giant (sauropods), I guess if it exists it a new group created for dinos like Nigersaurus that don't really fit in other groups.

I Rex attacks all but small carnivores. I Raptor attacks all but giant herbivores.

After the release of the Nigersaurus and some playtesting it indeed does not behave like a GIANT herbivore. If you regard and treat him as a an ARMORED herbivores though above rules work just fine again.
I will fix the 'large' in original statement, meant giant obv.
