This could be for many reasons - for example, when you say that they bring with them large numbers, maybe this is a reason they are now found in increasingly isolated regions, as they basically eat themselves out of territory to live in. It would take a lotta territory to feed a herd of any given herbivorous dino, or just a couple of the carnivores - and that doesn't even take into account competition from fantasy milieu critters like the aforementioned dragons or bulettes.</blockquote>
