During their fight, she suffers severe injuries in her back and neck from Sharptooth's teeth and claws. He almost has them, before Littlefoot's mother comes to their rescue and faces off with Sharptooth.

That night, as Littlefoot follows a 'Hopper', he encounters Cera again, and they play together again briefly until a large dark green 'Sharptooth' attacks. Years later, Littlefoot plays with Cera (Candace Hutson), a 'Three-horn', who was trying to smash a beetle until her father (Burke Byrnes) intervenes whereupon Littlefoot's mother (Helen Shaver) names different kinds of dinosaurs: 'Three-horns', 'Spiketails', 'Swimmers', and 'Flyers' and states that each has historically remained apart. Among these, a diminished 'Longneck' herd gives birth to a single baby, named Littlefoot (Gabriel Damon). Unfortunately, this proves to be a perilous journey, as apart from the treacherous terrain and natural disasters, carnivorous 'sharpteeth' constantly stalk the starving herds, waiting to make a meal of any stragglers. In a time overlapping the Jurassic Period and Cretaceous Period, a drought is occurring and several herds of dinosaurs begin an exodus to an oasis known as the 'Great Valley', a land supposedly spared from desolation.
