"DON'T GO INTO THE LONG GRASS!!!"

The long grass is a small area on Isla Sorna that is covered by elephant grass. It is near the Worker Village for the InGen employees.

History[]

The field overlooks the Village from slippery cliffs that drop down into the valley where the town is located. It is the site of many deaths to Velociraptors, who use the area as primary hunting grounds for the pride that live near the abandoned Worker Village. The raptors use the large expanses of tall grass to advantage, using them as cover while they stalk any hapless prey that wanders into it.

1997 Isla Sorna Incident[]

Long-Grass1

After the the adult male and female Tyrannosaurus attacked the InGen Hunters' temporary camp, a chase ensured wherein the group was split into two; the female Tyrannosaurus had given up chasing them, instead focusing her attention on the waterfall where Dr. Robert Burke met his demise, before she reached the field.

Out of panic, the second group went to this field wherein wherein Ajay Sidhu chastises them because his past experiences as a big game hunter told him that predators usually used long grass to hide, which the raptors, in fact, did. With the group disobeying this warning, Ajay followed them out of responsibility. Ultimately, the group met their grisly ends to the Velociraptors, who killed and presumably ate them.

The deaths of Sidhu and the other hunters spared Ian Malcolm, Kelly Curtis, Sarah Harding, and Nick Van Owen from the same fate; not only did Van Owen discovering Sidhu’s abandoned pack prompt the group to stop for a moment and allow Malcolm to realize that raptors were in the area, wherein the beasts were likely preoccupied devouring their victims.

The long grass is not seen but is mentioned by Simon Tunney, as a place worthily enough to avoid, whether he knows the Raptors are there or not.
