![]() ![]() There was initially going to be a third predator, who appeared in some early designs as a small axolotl-like creature. In spite of this, the movie’s Essential Guide reveals that Cretaceous is an Ichthyosaur and Maelstrom is a Pliosaur. Furthermore, in the book, it was stated that both reptiles were sucked out with the waters that were pulled through the giant crack in the ice wall that Scrat had created: from there, the mini-sloths found their bodies and carried them away, referring to them as 'good sushi'.42 Did saber tooth tigers exist? What animals are Cretaceous and Maelstrom? The fate of both Cretaceous and Maelstrom remains unclear: while it is overt that they were vanquished by, different sources present different endings, with the storybook of the film showing them being eyed by vultures while the Essential Guide stated that they were eaten off. Moreover, Saldanha intended the two sea reptiles to be truly dangerous foes, a feat accomplished by having them kill off one character so as to prove their threat: Stu. Initially, according to director, there were to be three water-based predators, and concept art showed a small, amphibian creature similar to an axolotl. The sounds used for Cretaceous and Maelstrom's vocalizations were those of whales, coupled with tigers growling and human voices to give an eerie quality. This would also justify what is written in the Essential Guide, namely that they have been frozen a million years before the ice age, while actually both of their species went extinct about 90 million years ago (even though it's possible some still survived). It's also possible that he and Cretaceous came from the Dinosaur World (despite its existence has been revealed only in the following movie), and during the millions years in which the pliosaurs and the ichthyosaurs lived there, they changed their appearances in the ones of the two specimens seen in the second movie. The plan worked, freeing Ellie, and knocking the two reptiles down with the boulder.TraitsMaelstrom, like his smaller companion Cretaceous, was incapable of speech and so communicated in loud growls, bellows, or roars. Manny devised a plan to rid himself of the two sea reptiles, by having them try to chase him, he tricked them into hitting a log that was wedged under a large rock. Maelstrom intended to eat but could not catch him, as Sid was already escaping with, and had only just escaped Maelstrom as he broke off a massive chunk of ice where the and had stood only moments before.DemiseLater when the dam broke, the two reptiles went swimming on the wall of water that was slowly approaching the escaping masses and pulled down Manny when he was swimming to save Ellie. The two sea reptiles then swam further down the series of rivers where they eventually reached herd as well as. When they made it to the ice lake, the first animal that they had encountered and eaten was the, leaving behind only his shell. After having been frozen in the waters they swam in, both reptiles remained in stasis until the ice ages began, thawing them out into a world ruled by mammals instead of reptiles.The Ice AgeFrozen long ago with during the era of the, Maelstrom was imprisoned in a great block of ice that was jarred loose when the wall of ice that it had been part of began crumbling, due to global warming loosening it.Maelstrom and Cretaceous lurking below the thin iceThe ice melted, releasing both Cretaceous and Maelstrom into the lake which was all but abandoned by most animals. ![]() Contents BiographyMaelstrom and fellow sea reptile were once creatures of the era of dinosaurs that had worked in tandem to catch prey. ![]()
