Reply To: Chomper and what his future could teach us.
Logically a sharptooth can’t survive on bugs forever. He’s small now so he can live on only perhaps a few hundred bugs a day, but when he gets older, thousands (or tens of thousands) would be needed. There just aren’t that many bugs around. And we’ve seen what happens when sharpteeth try to eat green food.
He might have to leave the Great Valley when he grows up so he doesn’t end up hunting his friends. And he may come back to visit every now and then. But a sharptooth is a sharptooth and is fundamentally different than a leaf eater.
However, I’m sure there are other types of animals besides dinosaurs that he could eat when he gets older. We have no idea how dinosaurs look at these other animals – whether they see them as equals or as an inferior form of life. As a matter of fact, we’ve never really seen other animals in the movies.
At this point it’s all speculation, but I have the feeling that all the dinosaurs (including Chomper) are going to be affected by the “Ash Ketchum” syndrome. They’ll never grow up or even seem to grow at all.
