<P> During the age of the dinosaurs , a massive drought forces several herds of dinosaurs to seek an oasis known as the Great Valley . Among these , a mother in a diminished `` Longneck '' herd gives birth to a single baby , named Littlefoot . Years later , Littlefoot plays with Cera , a `` Three - horn '' , until her father intervenes ; whereupon Littlefoot 's mother describes the different kinds of dinosaurs : `` Three - horns '' , `` Spiketails '' , `` Swimmers '' , and `` Flyers '' . That night , as Littlefoot follows a `` Hopper '' , he encounters Cera again , and they play together briefly until a large `` Sharptooth '' attacks them . Littlefoot 's mother comes to their rescue , receiving fatal injuries in the process . An earthquake swallows up the Sharptooth and divides Littlefoot and Cera from their herds . Littlefoot receives advice from his dying mother . Depressed and confused , Littlefoot meets an old `` Clubtail '' named Rooter , who consoles him . He is then guided by his mother 's voice telling him to follow the sun to the Great Valley . </P>
