Epilogue Summary

The survivors are stuck in San Jose. The Costa Rican government is understandably upset about the tragedy and near disaster that occurred on one of their islands. Dr. Grant meets the researcher Marty Guitierrez from the very beginning of the book that tells him about some unusual behavior in unknown animals. The unusual behavior is a migratory pattern, they determine, and the unknown animals are tending to eat food rich in lysine, which they had been genetically designed to be deficient in.
