For example when the railroads were built in the American West the bison were afraid to cross them because they were novel. Replacing an entire state's worth of subtropical forest with sagebrush steppe is going to be a lot more scary to animals. | |

And honestly you want months, otherwise there is not enough time to recover. | |

A city like Casper might not see dinosaurs for months due to any dinosaur having to trek 200 straight kilometers across unfamilliar, near-barren land to get there. | |
