Question: What was Conker's reason for killing the baby dinosaur? The little guy did nothing to him.
Answer: The baby dino was just a sacrifice to the Dino god statue and had to be killed. Although in the game Conker seems to know the slab will kill the baby dino but didn't know he was sacrificing him for a reason. And the player only performs the sacrifice because of the in-game clues given about what to do, but no explanation seems to be given why Conker apparently kills him without knowing why.
Answer: Short answer, chocolate is not poisonous to squirrels. The chemical theobromine is what is toxic (and the darker the chocolate the higher the theobromine levels). Theobromine is an alkaloid and different species metabolize alkaloids differently. Dogs and cats can not metabolize it very well compared to humans, rats, and squirrels. Although, with high enough levels of theobromine consumed, it can be toxic (from causing illness to death) to any species.
