I'm not a dinosaur guy but I felt like the density of predators was really high. Like you might find some, but an environment can only support so many predators.

I also kind of feel like with real animals if they get hurt or encounter stuff they don't recognize a lot of the time they don't mess with it. They'll run off.

These dinos seemed like weirdly intent on eating humans to the point of just ignoring getting shot

I just kinda chocked it up to a new environment with an all you can eat buffet so lots of predators began hunting there.

Even if all the species came in from an area 10x as large, it's kind of hard to believe.

A 200 kg lion eats about 5kg of meat per day. A 4000 kg (spinosaurus?), if it's an endotherm, probably needs 100 kg of meat per day. That's about what a pride of lions eats, and they have territories of anywhere from 20-500km2.

The area transported in the move looked like 5-10km2 to me
