The herd is led by Kron, an old, hard-assed Iguanodon - the first member of his own species Aladar has ever met - who insists that everyone follow his orders even if it kills them all. They are seeking literally greener pastures, a valley known as the Nesting Grounds, which is apparently the only fertile land left untouched by the meteor.
Once there, the main plot kicks in and they join a herd of similarly displaced animals who are migrating through the vast, trackless desert with treacherous terrain and desperate, starving predators. Sadly, a meteor strike destroys the island and Aladar and his adoptive family are forced to escape to the mainland. Time passes offscreen and afterwards we see the adult Aladar living care-free with the primates in the island. There, he was found by a family of lemurs, who adopt him when he is born (although the patriarch lemur opposes initially). His egg was separated from his family through a very convoluted turn of events, and made its way to an island.
