Dinosaurs can escape during the 4th, 5th, or 6th phases. This causes different penalties for either Herbivores or Carnivores (in the case of Omnivores, you may choose what type it is). Each penalty ONLY occurs once in a round, even if multiples of the same type escape. You may resolve either penalty in any order.

Herbivores' Escape Penalty:

Remove 1 Barrier of your choice from your Ranch (if there are any). If losing a Barrier would cause an Enclosure to not be “closed,“ the remaining fed Dinosaurs DO NOT escape; however they do not breed during the 6th phase.

Carnivores' Escape Penalty:

Discard ANY 1 other Dinosaur, in addition to the escaping Carnivore, from your Ranch (if there are any). The “eaten” Dinosaur may be one that was going to escape. If an escaping Carnivore eats an escaping Herbivore first, that Herbivore DOES NOT cause the Herbivores' Escape Penalty.

After resolving Escaping Dinosaurs, discard all the escaped Dinosaurs back to the supply. For a Unique Dinosaur, also discard their card to the Research Mat's “Discard Pile.“
