“Hey guys, you wanna go play by the creek” Frostbite asked to Cloud and Machete. “Sure” Cloud said. The three ran down the hill, and took a left. Mudstone noticed this, and decided to just go watch them. Of course they noticed, Mudstone being much larger than the Dachshund-sized younglings. They didn’t mind though. They found a swarm of Compsognathus feeding off of a dead plesiosaurus. They charged, and some of them ditched the carcass, but some decided to stand their ground. They hunched over, and started hissing. As the trio started backing up, Mudstone walked in, and roared at the compies. The swarm ran off, scattering. One even ran into a tree. Frostbite chased that one, and caught it. He wrestled with the Compsognathus until it gave up. Frostbite bit down on the compy like a lion would bite a zebra. The compy struggled, but them died. “Your first kill already” Mudstone asked. “Yeah” Frostbite said. Mudstone decided to see what the other two were up to. Machete started chasing a meganeura, and he got dangerously close to the edge of the lake, which was connected to the creek. Luckily, Machete stopped himself. Mudstone heard some loud, heavy footsteps and brought the boys closer to his side. It was small a herd of Muttaburrasaurus. The large ornithopods stopped by the lake to drink. A large scarred male watched over his herd before drinking. One Muttaburrasaurus, a younger adult, continued drinking. Mudstone saw a large object float towards the Muttaburrasaur. It looked rough, and was some forty feet long. After some thinking, Mudstone realized just what it was. The Muttaburrasaurus herd seemed to realize it too, and immediately left without their herd member. As it realized the group was leaving, the object leapt out of the water. It snapped its powerful jaws around the neck of the Muttaburrasaurus. It shrieked in pain, and struggled like the compy Frostbite had killed. The kids watch in fascination at the large predator as it dragged the Muttaburrasaurus, that was just as large, down to the depths. “Cool” Cloud said. “Yes, but also dangerous” Mudstone said. The kids nodded in agreement. “What was it” Machete asked. “A Deinosuchus. A large crocodile, prefers these spots. That’s why we avoid the lake” Mudstone said. “Now let’s go back”.
