In "Primeval Predation," a visionary billionaire brings to life a revolutionary dinosaur theme park, genetically resurrecting these ancient creatures with cutting-edge technology. As a team of scientists and experts from outside the park is brought in to evaluate its safety measures, a catastrophic security breach unleashes the prehistoric predators upon the unsuspecting visitors. The creatures, initially perceived as fascinating remnants of the past, reveal a primal and terrifying intelligence, turning the once awe-inspiring park into a nightmarish labyrinth. With chaos reigning, the characters must navigate the perilous landscape, facing not only the relentless pursuit of the primeval predators but also the ethical and moral dilemmas surrounding the creation of such a facility. As the survivors grapple with their own fears and the rapidly escalating threat, they must find a way to contain the ancient horrors and escape the park before becoming extinct in the jaws of these resurrected monsters.
