Andrewsarchus

So, everyone knows Andrewsarchus was an Artiodactyl, right? A lot of people nowadays believe that Andrewsarchus was a huge entelodont. I, for one, don't believe that it WAS an entelodont, but they MAY have been related.

Now, we don't know shit about Andrewsarchus, as we literally only have a partial skull of the thing. What we DO know is that it was (Probably) a carnivore.

I actually believe that Andrewsarchus was one of evolutions one offs. I like to believe a primitive entelodont split off from the main evolutionary path and became a hyper-carnivore, compared to entelodonts which stayed omnivorous.

Once again, we can't know shit because all we have is an incomplete skull.

(Note: This series is going to go pretty in depth with all hope.)

The age of reptiles is over, and the once small and scared mammals take the place of those long-dead behemoths. The last duckbills have been killed of by Daedons and other larger predators. Things have changed...

A Megacerops flees for its life from a pursuing pack of Proborhyaena.

On a rocky ledge, two apex predators, Andrewsarchus and Barinasuchus fight over the corpse of a Megacerops.

And a huge Paraceratherium stops to take a drink, with a Taubatornis riding on it's back.

These are a few examples of things that never used to happen but do happen nowadays.

If you ask me, I'd say mammals are about to have their own little age.

Woke up today in the absolute worst mood ever (Sleeping In a disgusting bed is gonna do that to you) and got my uniform on. My actual first shift with the Smilodon's started in an hour and a half anyway so I had time to walk around. The first thing I saw was a lady who was noticeably holding a cat-sized pterosaur.

Me: (Looking at name tag) Hi... Skye?

Skye: Yep, that's me, Skye Reid.

Me: What's that you got there?

Skye: It's Voo, he's a male Cretornis.

Me: Wait... his wings are unbound; couldn't he just fly away?

Skye: He could... he just chooses not to, I guess he's... (Voo nuzzling against Skyes arm) (chuckling) quite comfy with the relationship we have!

Me: Well, nice to meet you!

Skye: It was nice to meet you, too.

After walking around a bit more, I noticed two caretakers arguing with a janitor trying to break it up.

Janitor: Alright break it up you two!

Tall caretaker: Admit it, you let your ape into the Shunosaurus enclosure!

Fat caretaker: Oh, say that one more time I dare you!

Both: (Notice me)

Both: We weren't arguing, you were hallucinating.

Me: Yeah... who are you people?

Alexis: I'm Alexis Thatcher, head sauropod caretaker an...

Clint: And a complete buffoon, I'm clint by the way, the Gigantopithecus caretaker.

Alexis: (Stop your making me look like an idiot in front of the new guy!)

Clint: (That's kinda the point.)

Me: I can hear you two whispering; you're not fooling anyone.

Both: Stop hallucinating.

Me: And you are?

Wayne: Name's Wayne Bayard! I'm just a janitor here.

Both: Sass-quatch

Wayne: Call me that again, I hit you with the mop.

Both: (Panicked) OK!

I then proceeded to check my watch.

Me: HOLY CRAP I GOTTA GO!

All three: Bye!!

I arrived at the Smilodon enclosure and started the standard feeding procedures. Honestly, the Smilodon seemed to like me. Infact, while leaving one of the Smilodon's even gave me the signature big cat hug. However, when exiting the enclosure, I heard something that made my blood run cold.

Speaker: ATTENTION P.P GUESTS AND STAFF, AN UNKNOWN CAUSE HAS RESULTED IN A POWER OUTAGE IN THE SOUTH AMERICA AND ASIA AREAS OF THE PARK. PLEASE HEAD TO YOUR NEAREST SHELTER IMMEDIATELY.

To avoid me DYING I closed the door behind me, booked it to the caretaker bedrooms and climbed onto the roof, where almost every other staff member was at.

Skye: So... what do we do?

Wayne: I say we find the source of the power-out and fix it-

Alexis: You mean THAT source?

It was at that moment we saw a pack of Herrerasaurus with one holding an electrical wire in its mouth.

Me: No. They. Didn't.

Skye: I-I knew Herrerasaurus was quite smart for an early dinosaur, but I didn't think they could do this!

Evidently, the Herrerasaurus knew exactly what they did, because they let out a chuckling noise before running off when the parks Gigantopithecus showed up.

Clint: Well... We best tread carefully if we don't wanna set off Louie.

Me: You seriously named him after the orangutan from jungle book?

Clint: What? It was really a no-brainer!

Thats when we climbed down from the roof and into the now empty paths.

Alexis: It's a no-brainer because he has no brain.

Clint: WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!

It was at that moment Louie roared in our direction, but he wasn't roaring at us, he was roaring at the thing coming AT us. The park's Andrewsarchus had seen us, and I guess the caretaker forgot to feed it because it was charging right at us. We dodged the oncoming beast and when it missed it turned its eyes to Louie. And that whole standoff had this kind of energy going for it:

The whole fight that followed was pretty brutal to watch but it was mostly just biting and punching and a whole lot of roaring. After a while, it looked like the Andrewsarchus was about kill Louie when the best time we hear:

Colton: BREAK HIS SHINS LARY!

Larry ran smack first into the Andrewsarchus's leg, stopping it in its tracks. After that, Colton pulled out a tranquilizer gun and tranquilized the Andrewsarchus successfully. Louie made some sounds that I'm pretty sure were him expressing gratitude before painfully limping away.

Colton: So, who's up to find an electrical wire?

(Told you hellion)

Episode=Week.

When writing P.P I really want to take some things into consideration. These include: Where would everything be in the park, would the dinos have more vibrant colors, and what THE HELL TO MAKE THE ANDREWSARCHUS. Since we don't know EXACTLY what the damn thing was, I made it basically a mix between an entelodont and an Amphicyon. I also really want to clarify the raw power of the animal with it actually almost killing everyone's favorite prehistoric giant ape.

Second of all was every paleontologists worst nightmare, Spinosaurus. So, I wanted something unique with Spinosaurus: eye spots? PoT did that. So what did I do to it? I made do what paleontologists know it does... stink. And I mean that as in it literally, as clint "fry guy" stated, "stinks like absolute hell."

Also, I'm hosting a Q&A in the comments below, just ask and I'll probably respond.
