When Scrat travels back in time and appears in a museum of the present time, they get to see some full-scale sculptures of a Metriorhynchus and Globidens (referring to Cretaceous and Maelstorm).Īt the beginning of the film, when Ellie narrates her previous adventures, there are cave paintings of Cretaceous and Maelstorm chasing the herd during the flood. In the novelization, it is revealed that their remains were eaten by The Lone Gunslinger and the vultures for cheating to eating animals for food. This causes the giant rock to fall down and crush the two vicious reptiles to death in the process, while avenging Stu, whom they had eaten after thawing out. However, Manny tricks them into hitting a log wedged beside a large rock. When Manny and his friends went to rescue Ellie, Cretaceous and Maelstrom appeared and tried to eat them, starting with Manny, who was in the water trying to save Ellie. They later appear again in the film when Ellie is trapped in a cave during the rising flood. Although they almost lost their lives, the heroes successfully managed to escape from the two predators. Cretaceous wanted to eat Manny only because he was the biggest animal in the whole herd, while Maelstrom attacked Sid and Diego when they get separated from the others. They made one scene in the film when they occasionally tried to eat Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Crash, and Eddie when they were crossing a frozen area of water. Their first victim upon defrosting was Fast Tony's unintelligent Glyptodon sidekick named Stu, who was testing his snorkeler too close to them.

2.2 The Ice Age Adventures of Buck WildĬretaceous and Maelstrom were first seen thawing out in a melting pack of ice.
