Violet Tiger Tales - Ch. 6 Lilbit (Part 1 of 2)

*Story from the Past* My story really begins about ten years ago. I don't remember much about my birth family and tribe. I do know they were a relatively small tribe of treasure hunters. I also know they raised me to be a Hunter, and I was convinced that's what I would be when I grew up. Though even back then I was always doodling and drawing pictures. When I was six years old, our tribe found an Ancient ruin in the Black Jungle. We were there, trying to figure out how to get past the traps, for months. Something bad happened and... they were killed. My entire tribe, my parents and family, gone. I survived only because I found a good hiding place. I was alone. I only felt safe in my hiding place, and I would only leave to forage for food. Being a child, there were lots of things I didn't know how to do. I did the best I could, but I was barely surviving. Things stayed the same for several more months, until the Humans showed up. The Humans set up a camp right outside the ruins and

Primal Planet: Maniraptora 1/3

Maniraptorans & Alvarezsauroids Maniraptora, or the "hand snatchers", are the third and final family group of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs within the Maniraptoromorpha clade. This group consists of theropods ranging from the long-clawed therizinosaurs, the parrot-beaked oviraptorids, the one-clawed alvarezsaurids, the toe-clawed dromaeosaurids and troodontids, and the modern birds that still survive today. The Mainiraptorans have various characteristics that make each group unique from other individuals within the clade. However, the most distinct cluster of anatomical and behavioral traits that sets them apart from other theropod dinosaurs is the feathered plumage, long, grasping forelimbs, semi‑lunate wrist bone, large, grasping hands, elongated, flexible neck, lightweight, hollow bones, backward-pointing hips, large brain, and sensory organs. American paleontologist Jacques Gauthier originally named the Maniraptora in 1986 and defined it as a branch-based clade that contains

Primal Planet: Coelurosauria 1/4

Coelurosaurs Coelurosauria, meaning hollow-tailed lizard, is the second and last surviving subgroup within the Avetheropoda clade. This group contains all theropod dinosaurs more closely related to birds than carnosaurs. These dinosaurs include theropods associated with the famous and well-known Tyrannosaurus and modern birds such as chickens and parrots. A tail stiffened towards the tip, longer tibia than the fibula, longer sacrums, bowed ulna, and occasional feathered integuments are the few characteristics that distinguish coelurosaurs from other dinosaurs. The creation of this subgroup in 1914 is credited to the esteemed German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene. Initially, the Coelurosauria group was used as a dumping ground for many years for all small theropods until several distinctive lineages of coelurosaurs were recognized and erected several infraorders in the 1960s. Between the 1980s and 1990s, paleontologists gave Coelurosauria a formal definition. Paleontologists

Primal Planet: Maniraptoromorpha 2/3

Compsognathidae The Compsognathidae is a family group of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs within the Maniraptoromorpha clade. This group consists of small carnivorous theropods with generally conservative forms that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They are commonly known for their small bodies, slender, lightweight builds, grasping forelimbs, long tails, and primitive feathers covering their bodies. Fossil collector Joseph Oberndorfer acquired the first compsognathid fossil from the Bavaria region of Germany in 1859, which paleontologist Johann A. Wagner described as Compsognathus after a two-year review. English biologist and early supporter of Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution, Thomas Henry Huxley, used this fossil in a comparison to Archaeopteryx to propose the origin of modern birds in 1868. Huxley had noticed that the two dinosaurs shared a similar layout to that of birds and proposed an exploration of their similarities. American paleontologist Edward

Errant Hunt

The sun rose towards noon as the young smilodon dozed in the shade of the large tree sitting upon the raised mound overlooking the flowing grasslands. In the distance roamed a herd of mammoth and in their company grazed pronghorn who kept an alert watch for those like the smilodon who might intend to prey upon them. The young saber-toothed cat though had no interest in leaving its raised position. The sun was hot and the shade of the tree was too comforting to abandon and so it lay still and blinked lazily as its chest rose and fell with relaxed breaths. An insect settled upon the big cat's ear and bit, causing the ear to flick as the smilodon opened its eyes fully and blinked in irritation at the biting. It blinked and looked around across the grasslands at the distant herbivores with disinterest before letting out a long sigh and settling down in the tree's shadow once more. Its eyes remained open as it rested, its ears erect and listening as its eyes followed the rustling blades

Quiet Cretaceous Afternoon

The old bull walked to the edge of the grasses and into the shadows of the green canopies of the trees. It had been a tiring day, with very little to show from it beyond a carcass he had bullied some dromaeosaurs off of. Still, the light was dipping towards the horizon and that meant his little caretakers would be waking soon. The dappled sunlight filtered through the trees as the bull strode between the trunks to the well worn clearing that he knew so well. Letting out an exhalatory snort, the old bull lowered himself down onto the dirt where he let out a contented rumble. Breathing deeply, his nostrils flared as he picked up the familiar scent of his little associates. They were somewhere above in the branches of the canopy and would descend when they felt safe. Closing his eyes to encourage them, the bull's breathing settled into a steady rhythm as he dozed in the dappled light of the clearing. It didn't take long for the little caretakers to come down from their branches and

Purussaurus Stream

Checking the camera feed again, Hannah gave a thumbs up to her partner Meghan as she stood by the staff door. “Cameras are good. Go ahead and head back.” Meghan smiled and nodded, opening the door with her key and closing it again behind her. Looking into the enclosure, Hannah hoped that the massive caiman basking on the exhibit floor would be cooperative. In the three years since she'd started working at the zoo she'd discovered that this particular reptile had to be coaxed into cooperating. She'd heard from the other keepers that he'd started being increasingly stubborn after the handler who had first worked with him had left the zoo. The light on her camera went from red to green and she put on a smile as she began the stream. “Hello everyone and thank you for tuning in with us today! As a lot of you know, we're going to spend the next hour or so telling you all about our purussaurus, Bernardo.” She stepped aside and let the camera get a good view of the caiman as he basked in

Many head toward the lake to drink. Pterosaurs wheel lazily on the warm air, while Avialans flit from tree to tree. The Microraptor group from before, full from their big meal, rests in a thicket as a pair of Sinornithosaurus now picks over the Psittacosaurus carcass.
