Glacialisaurus

Indominus Rex was in her sleep, after her successful defeat of Stumpy the Tyrannosaurus Rex, she was in a dream:

She was in a snowy field, at first nothing, but there was a Glacialisaurus feeding on the plants underneath the snow:

Indominus Rex soon bites it and kills the prosauropod, sad thing is that was the last Glacialisaur on earth, and that the Indominus Rex caused its extinction

There were soon footsteps, I-Rex looked up. There was a figure of a theropod racing towards it, it was a Gorgosaurus:

Gorgosaurus snapped its jaws at the Indominus, wanting the dead Glacialisaur carcass:

Indominus Rex uses its claws to kill the annoying pestering Gorgon, as it soon snaps its neck and crushes an entire unexpecting 10 Troodon army:

So 13 kills in a row, a Glacialisaurus, Gorgosaurus and 10 Troodons

Soon, Indominus Rex hears two roars, while also slowly driving itself into insanity:

There they were, a Nanuqsaurus and Cryolophosaurus:

Nanuqsaurus soon charges at the Cryolophosaurus, biting it by the neck and suffocates it to death, leaving only the Nanuqsaur and Indominus the remaining two contestants

Nanuqsaurus uses its jaws to bite the I-Rex by the neck, but the Indominus Rex soon uses its claws to scratch the Nanuqsaurus by the face, and grabs it by the face via mouth and rips off the Nanuqsaur's snout

Happily, Indominus Rex enjoys its entire meal of the dead animals around her

Antarctica, a frozen wasteland where only few creatures can survive, but 190 million years ago however this wasn't the case. Antarctica was lush temperate forest flourishing with life. This is the early Jurassic, the Rauisuchians are extinct and the world's dominant animals are the Dinosaurs. We see some Ornithischians. This is the life of the Dinosaurs of Antarctica

Intro rolls

Back to the Ornithischians

These small Dinosaurs are Ornithischians, they may looks similar to the others but what makes them different is their hip bones, Ornithischian hip bones are shaped like bird hips, in fact, Ornithischian means "Bird-Hipped", the Theropods and and the Sauropods on the other hand are in the group known as Saurischians meaning "Lizard-Hipped". Then the Ornithischians here a sound and quickly run away. Out of the foliage comes out an adult male Cryolophosaurus who then hisses

This is a Cryolophosaurus, they are the apex predator of the ancient Antarctica. This male is looking for a mate, he has recently reached maturity and left the protection of his mother, he has to find one before the end of the mating season.

We then see some Dimorphodontids flying above

These are Dimorphodontids, they are from the order of flying reptiles known as Pterosaurs, Pterosaurs first appeared in the Triassic and they will exist until the end of the Cretaceous, but now in the early Jurassic, Pterosaurs are still relatively small. One of the Dimorphodontids catches a generic insect. Dimorphodontids are equipped with two types of teeth, these help them slice tiny insects.

Meanwhile we see a Coelophysid hunting for food

This is another member of the Coelophysid. Coelophysids were still successful during the Early Jurassic. This one is hunting for prey, but what he doesn't know is that he is being hunted himself. The Cryolophosaurus runs out of the bushes and grabs the little theropod, the Coelophysid is screaming in pain and Cryolophosaurus kills it. In this world you have to be careful, whether your the prey or the predator. The Cryolophosaurus then eats the Coelophysid.

We then see a haram of Glacialisaurus eating plants

Glacialisaurus, they are Sauropodomorphs, like the Coelophysids they first appeared during the Late Cretaceous and thrived until the Early Jurassic. Some baby Glacialisaurus appear. The haram has recently had new members, they are easy meal for a hungry carnivore, so they are protected 24/7

We then see a pair Tritylodontids

These are Tritylodontids, they are relatives of mammals like us although they aren't mammals. They pair for life. We then see some babies. The mother stays in the protection of the den and takes care of the babies, the father stays outside hunting for food and keeping an eye out for intruders. The male scares away a curious young Ornithischian. There amazing survival skills will help the mammals to be successful in the future

We then see some Dimorphodontids flying and we zoom down to and see the male Cryolophosaurus. It is almost the end of the mating season and our male hasn't found a mate yet, time is running out. He eventually finds a female and we see the differences in the male and female, the male is bigger and has bigger and brighter crests. The male has finally found a female, now he just has to impress her. The Cryolophosaurus does a dance to impress the female. The female is impressed, the male has found a mate.

Some time passes and we see some Coelophysids trying steal eggs from a nest and then the male Cryolophosaurus runs and kills one of them scaring away the others. The female has laid eggs, both parents take turns protecting the nest and bringing food, this is a difficult job as eggs are an easy and nutritious food source, many predators will try to eat the eggs and unfortunately one of the eggs is already gone.

We then see the male hunting for food, Ornithischians run and the Tritylodontid gets back in its burrow. The male is hunting again, but this time he's looking for bigger prey. We see the Glacialisaurus haram again. The adults are difficult but younglings would be no problem, he just needs to distract them. Cryolophosaurus sneaks in the foliage and hisses. The haram is confused, they know the presence of predators, but they don't know where they are, they all panic and leave space for the Cryolophosaurus to get in. A juvenile Glacialisaurus comes to the outer edges of the haram and is killed by the Cryolophosaurus, the leader of the haram makes sounds at the Cryolophosaurus and the he runs away with his kill.

The Cryolophosaurus returns and we see some baby Cryolophosaurus. The eggs have hatched, there are 4 hungry baby Cryolophosaurus, their father has brought food for them. We see the mother and father resting while the babies play.

The mother and father rest and see the babies play around and then another male comes and the babies hurry into the nest. Another male Cryolophosaurus, he is here for the female, but our male won't give up so easily. They start hissing at each other but then they start slashing biting, eventually our male gets a good bite on the neck an bleeds it and the rival leaves, later we see it die and get eaten by Coelophysids. A fight usually never has a brutal wound like this, but when it happens it can be devastating. Our male has won the fight, he's gone back to resting after a though fight.

End credits roll

Antarctica was lush green environment until it froze 34 million years ago, meanwhile in the other continents dinosaurs evolved further to help them survive and grew larger then ever before. Next time, we'll pay a visit to the Morrison Formation the US to see some of the largest, strangest and fiercest of dinosaurs

When you think of the the continent of Antarctica what do you think of? You might think of a desolate wasteland of ice and snow or penguins and freezing cold weather. But during the early jurassic it had very little ice to no ice on it and warm weather. As it was far from the antarctic circle but close to the equator allowing for life like dinosaurs to evolve there. As we can see here it looks like a tropical paradise at this time in history with Fern trees and other plants. But the paradise is not without predators in this one's case we have the therapod Cryolophosaurus at 6.4 meters long it was one of the largest land predators that existed at that point. Cryolophosaurus is known for its crest between the eyes on top of its head we do not know much of this animal due to the lack of fossils but it was surprisingly agile for an animal so large. We see it rest for now. But it was also home to more then just predators like glacialisaurus one of the last prosauropods to exist. We see the glacialisaurus grazing from fern treetops. But unlike other prosauropods it lived a solitary life. It only really joined together for breeding season and that was it.

A few months later

It is now spring and the glacialisaurus is eating from the branches when a Cryolophosaurus is seen behind it stalking it normally Cryolophosaurus would not go after an adult glacialisaurus but breeding season just ended and the Cryolophosaurus has young to feed so it is willing to take the chance on it as one glacialisaurus can feed it and its young for a while. When it gets close it rushes the glacialisaurus. the prosauropod has ways to defend itself like claws on its front limbs backed up by powerful arms. So the prosauropod rears up on its back legs but the Cryolophosaurus was expecting this and it used it claws to slash the prosauropod on the belly but before the Cryolophosaurus could get slashes in the glacialisaurus throws the Cryolophosaurus into a tree killing the therapod. Cryolophosaurus and the other dinosaurs of Antarctica will slowly drift towards the antarctic circle eventually turning it into a wasteland like today.

Next time we go to late jurassic North America to get a view into the life of the largest predatory dinosaur of the jurassic saurophaganax
