Well what if they were aliens.Chomper couldn't have found a way out of that island and now chomper has 3 fingers and is of a different color.Ruby seems to know too much and her parents may stay way from the great valley to prevent cover from being blown.
Just a weird random guess.
-
I think there's a much more LOGICAL explanation with all this. :D
-
You mean you guys have another theory?
But I figure that this chomper is physically different from the other.
-
Well I've never seen the TV show (going to watch them all whenever my internet stops jacking up) so I don't know anything about this 'Ruby' person, but wasn't it LBT 7 that had them rainbow aliens? Soooooo we know it's not out of the question?
-
Ruby is a pink-colored Oviraptor who went with Chomper from the Mysterious Beyond to the Great Valley. She if called a "fast runner." She has a funny way of talking (frequently makes her sentences "backwards" or says things that are obvious), and is larger than he is, indicating that she is older than him, because her species doesn't grow anywhere near as large as a Tyrannosaurus.
She has no known connections to the "Rainbow Faces" of the seventh movie.
-
One famous quote of Ruby is, "Hello my friends, my friends hello." Though she doesn't always talk like that in every sentence she does very often.
-
Yeah but those rainbow faces could have disguised as one of the dinos to blend in what if it is the same group just in another disguise.They do know littlefoot so why not dig up his history and continue examining.Also Ruby sleeps together with chomper so anything that is secret can be discussed.
-
I seriously doubt Ruby and Chomper are aliens. It doesn't make much sense.
-
I thought they slept in separate caves since I recall them showing that with Chomper having a nightmare or running into the cave where ruby sleeps for this or that reason, thought they are both sleeping in the secret caverns it seems to be, in some episodes in separate but adjoining caves, or nearby caves.
-

I agree - they are probably the product of a CIA experiment involving cloning, time-travel, and kids who wished they were dinosaurs. In the haste to DNA replicate Chomper the technians messed up his fingers.
-
Its weird how chomper got out of the island and why chomper's parents would make a oviraptor take care of him.For a long trip like that if I were the parent I would have sent a sharptooth.
-
Well, Chomper could escape the island like the gang did in LBTV, he's small and light. i would also consider that Ruby and her family lived on the island, but then again - we saw her relatives walking freely in the Mysterious Beyond...
-
But then how would he find Elsie again? The bridge was destoyed!
-
Maybe during a low tide or something similar to what happened to make it go away by the water rising or coming into the are could have reversed itself so they could have left it.
-
It was very steep though.
-
It is possible, scientifically speaking, for both Chomper and his parents to make it across the big water. Theropods could actually swim, including the larger ones, although they probably weren't too good at it, just good enough to reach their destination.
The LBT 5 sharptooth (not the shark) did seem able to remain afloat, even as the current pulled him away. If that sharptooth could manage to keep himself a float (with his head out of the water at least), Chomper's parents could have done the same thing. Also, if that current moved inland, they could have used it to get across.
-
The sharptooth there was a gigantosaurus which was lighter than a tyrannosaurus I still think a rex would have drowned.
-
I doubt T-Rex would have drowned. T-Rex, like all theropods, had lightweight bones, and was not as heavy as previously thought. Even its heavily muscled skull had a lot of openings, making the head lighter than it would have been if the holes had not been there. If Giganotosaurus, which is actually heavier than T-Rex (Giganotosaurus was larger, so the chances of it being lighter are very slim) could float in the water, than a slightly lighter than T-Rex would have been able to do the same thing.
-
One clichÈ of traditional dinosaur wisdom (I mean human knowledge about dinosaurs, not the philosophy of dinosaurs :p) was that theropods (e.g., T. rex) were incapable of swimming, while herbivores (especially the duck-billed and long-necked varieties) were very good at it. As DarkHououmon stated, this was not the case. There are a number of known fossil trackways of theropods kicking their way through shallow water, so evidently these animals swam sometimes. The bodies of most living land animals are neutrally buoyant (they neither float nor sink in water), meaning that swimming comes fairly easily to them. Seeing as theropod skeletons were highly pneumatized (filled with hollow spaces containing air), they would have floated like corks.
Back to the subject of swimming theropods in LBT, we don’t even know how the Giganotosaurus got to the island in the first place. Obviously, it either used the land bridge (in which case it would have had to have arrived before the gang did) or swam across, but no indication is given of which one. Either way, it would have had to arrived fairly recently, as Chomper believed his parents to be “the only big sharpteeth around here,” and something as big as that Giganotosaurus would not go unnoticed for long on such a small island.
Even if the Giganotosaurus was overpowered by the current at the end of LBT V (though for all we know, it could have been swept all the way back to the mainland :unsure:), I can’t say we’ve seen any indication that LBT sharpteeth can’t swim. The raptors caught in the damburst in LBT III seemed to have been quite good at it, seeing as they made it to shore before they were even swept past the point where the leafeaters climbed out of the streambed. And in the TV series, Chomper seems to have no problem participating whenever the gang plays in water. And as far as the original Sharptooth is concerned, I think that he probably drowned not because he couldn’t swim (as Littlefoot had presumed), but because the rock the gang dropped on him knocked him unconscious, or at least breathless.
-

Yeah I agree. I think the only reason Sharptooth didn't make it was because of that bolder. If Sharptooth had been just stumbled into the water, he likely would have made it out. Littlefoot is young and likely didn't know too much about sharpteeth except they hunt and kill other dinosaurs for food. He probably just took one look at the puny arms and automatically assumed that Sharptooth couldn't swim.
-
hmmmmm I have nooo idea what happened :unsure:
but this is the reason I didnt like the TV series they doesn't make sense <_<
-
Well if you read up tyrannosaurus is heavier then a gigantosaurus although it was smaller.
-
I don't see much about T-Rex being heavier. The sources I see generally put T-Rex around 5-7 tons and Giganotosaurus around 6-8 tons, though one source, I think, put it around 5 tons, but that's it. Another source or two say T-Rex was heavier, but don't give a specified weight or anything. Another source says the results likely varied depending on individuals, meaning some T-Rexes could have been heavier than Giganotosauruses, and some Giganotosauruses could have been heavier than T-Rexes

Looks like we learn different things most books in my country says what I said earlier.
