Meanwhile, Scrat climbs up the glacier and at the top sticks the acorn he has into the ice. The other animals are at the mercy of the water currents. Cretaceous and Maelstrom arrive, but due to Manny's quick thinking, they are finished off by a rock which falls on them, killing them both. When the flood comes, Manny saves Ellie from drowning as she is caught in a cave (due to falling rocks), while Diego overcomes his fear of water to save Sid. They find a field of hot geysers, which separate Manny, Sid, and Diego from Ellie and her brothers when they argue about which way to go through it. The next morning, Sid tells the others his experience but none are convinced. Sid lights a fire for them, and believes that he has finally found respect, but they plan to sacrifice him by tossing him into a volcano. Sid is kidnapped by a tribe of mini-sloths who believe Sid to be a god. Ellie and Manny ultimately make up when they must co-operate to save the group when the ground cracks under their feet. Despite this bonding moment with Manny, she distances herself from him when he suggests "saving their species". She finally realizes she is a mammoth and also expresses her suspicions about how different she was from other opossums. They discover an area which Ellie recalls as the place where she was adopted. After a perilous ordeal with Cretaceous and Maelstrom while crossing a pond, Sid prompts Diego to encourage him to admit and face his fears - Diego insists that "fear is for prey", so Sid points out that Diego is behaving as if he is the water's prey. Sid invites her to tag along with the group to escape the flood, and she brings her brothers. Manny is still depressed about being the last mammoth alive and his family, which has been killed in by humans, but is surprised when he encounters Ellie, a female mammoth who believes she is an opossum and Crash and Eddie's adoptive sister. When Manny briefly is separated from them, Diego and Sid encounter two mischievous opossums named Crash and Eddie who drive them nuts by playing Whac-A-Mole with them. During the evacuation, a glacier which contains two sea reptiles from the Mesozoic era, Cretaceous and Maelstrom, breaks off. As the animals begin their journey, Sid sings three songs to tease Manny about Mammoths being "extinct". The herd figure that the pleasant weather has caused the ice shelves to melt, and it is kept from destroying the valley only by the glaciers, which have formed a dam.Ī lone vulture warns the animals that a giant tree can act as a boat and save them if they make it to the end of the valley within three days time, and all soon set out to find it. Manny dismisses the idea, but is distracted when he sees that Sid will try to high dive from a giant waterfall as Manny goes with Diego to the top of the waterfall to save Sid from his act of daredevilry, suddenly the ice under Diego's feet was breaking, causing him to bolt in fear, this also made Sid figure that Diego is afraid of the water. Fast Tony, a local con artist is claiming that the earth will flood and that the bark and reeds which he sells are needed to stay alive. Sid opens a small day camp, where none of the younger creatures take him seriously, nor do Manny and Diego, which leaves Sid seeking a daring deed. The creatures of the Ice Age are all shown enjoying themselves on slides and pools made by the melting ice among them the three protagonists of the first film: Manny, Sid, and Diego.
