Flint cocked his head to the side and squinted at the nest. Even through narrow lids, something seemed off about it. He quickly flopped his head over to the other side for a different perspective, but the feeling remained. The nest was not complete. There was still more to do. Determined to get it just right, he stepped back up to the side of the mound and began to remove fern fronds once more. He’d been working on the nest all morning, and for the most part it had been going extreme...

A palpable sense of excitement filled the air as the two groups marched alongside each other down the incline. They were headed out of the grassy hillsides and into the jungle for the day, but not along any of their usual routes. This particular path was actually overgrown, having not been tread on since the year before. Normally, Flint would be ecstatic to see somewhere new. However, the purpose of today’s visit made the location they were going to pretty intimidating. He sent an un...

Early morning fog hung over the still waters of the swamp like curtains in a theater. The play had not yet begun thus they had yet to be lifted. The scene was nearly set though. All that was left was for the lead actor to take his spot on stage and then it would begin. A small ripple raced across the surface of the water in front of Nile as only the top of his head emerged from beneath the water. He cautiously scanned the nearby bank, sending out another ripple from the movement, and t...

Nile tended to keep to himself most of the time. Even as a solitary individual, though, he still noticed what went on around him and knew the general patterns of the other dinosaurs in his home area.

Rarely wasn’t never, though, and somehow he’d let something new get past him. Nile wasn’t sure how. He hadn’t been unwell or...

“Come on, little one. Time for the lesson.” The smooth keratin of a beak nudged Flint awake, dragging him from the depths of a rather pleasant slumber. He groaned as he pulled each limb out from under himself. His muscles quaked and quivered as he stretched them out in front of himself, as slow to awaken as the rest of him. While he leisurely blinked sleep out of his eyes, he faintly registered the fact that there were other hatchlings passing by in front of him. No doubt fo...

A pale, narrow snout pushed through the savannah grass first, exposing the dark green “eyes” that decorated its sides. After a quick flare of the nostrils, the rest of the head slowly emerged, followed by a long, dark green neck. The adolescent Suchomimus paused to take a look around, making sure there was no one else within sight or hearing distance, before he stepped out into the open.    Feeling secure with the knowledge that he had the beach to himself, Nile eag...
