When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Dinocroc vs. Supergator (2010): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why does Jason Drake want to kill Dinocroc and Supergator?

Drake runs a covert research project on the creatures for Drake Industries. When they escape and start killing people, he knows officials will shut down his operation. He desperately wants them dead before authorities discover his illegal experiments. If the creatures are eliminated, he can claim the containment breach was contained and avoid accountability for the project.

Q2

Why does the mercenary assault fail?

Drake sends an elite mercenary team to eliminate the creatures, but Dinocroc proves far too powerful. The creature emerges in a fury and wipes out the entire team.
