Bare in mind that in Qurupeco's intro video, for both Tri and Portable 3rd, Great Jaggi seems to be hunting it. Which makes sense, as Qurupeco really is a bit frail, at least compared to lots of the other monsters.

Regarding Area 8 of the D. Island: it might be a Rathian nest, but if it is, it's not a very good one. Almost everything you fight in the D. Island tries to rest up there (some exceptions of course - don't know where Bracchi or Jho go) and of course there's normally Jaggi hanging around. Jaggi, of course, being shown to try and eat Rathian eggs in Rath's P3rd intro.
