Like with all wild animals it is never advised to disturb the dinosaurs. Even the most peaceful ones can suddenly become aggressive and potentially cause serious injury or fatalities.

DO NOT interact with the Compys. Despite their tiny size these animals can be extremely dangerous, and if they swarm on you it could be fatal. Visit to learn more about this miniature dinosaur.

Flaring their frill and a shrill vocalization are the ways #Dilophosaurus warns that it feels threatened. But, it can also be a precursor to an attack! If you live near Dilophosaurus territory keep protective eyewear with you at all times.
