Shunosaurus

Dakotaraptor requested by @Jammu&PeanutThedinos

Basically, the shaximiao fromation itself is home to the chungkingosaurus (or as some like to call it... the "CHUNKY KING") so i drawn it in.

In the recent years,China has been a gold mine for prehistoric discoveries,from colored dinosaurs to titans that make elephants look like mice,here we will see some of these Chinese Dragons

We go and see a jungle

And hear some shaking

This is China,160 Million Years Ago,home to some truely remarkable animals

Like Shunosaurus

The Shunosaurus starts digging at the ground

This animal evolved from Ledumihadi,but it’s much taller and has a tail club for defense

The Shunosaurus crouches down and starts laying eggs

Unlike Dracovenator,Shunosaurus lay a lot of eggs and leave them

The Shunosaurus picks leaves and puts them on the nest

The leaves mask the nest and cover it’s scent

2 Months later….

A Gasosaurus walks through the forest sniffing about

This is Gasosaurus,the most common predator here,it’s around the size of a Wolf and a very opportunistic animal,and it wouldn’t pass up eggs

The Gasosaurus sniffs around

If he can find them

The Gasosaurus sniffs the air and starts stalking 2 Agilisaurus

As you can see the reason as to why their called that

The Gasosaurus slinks forwards,carefully walking around the ferns

Gasosaurus walks on it’s toes and just barely touches the ground,so it doesn’t make any sounds

Just then the Shunosaurus babies start to shake and the Agilisaurus look back

Quickly the Gasosaurus ducks under the leaf litter and begins to slink again when the Agilisaurus turn round

The Gasosaurus leaps but just then the Agilisaurus realizes it’s there and run,barely escaping the pounce,the Gasosaurus starts running after them

Gasosaurus is the only animal that can catch up with these remarkable creatures

Eventually the 2 start climbing a tree but the Gasosaurus manages to grab one and throw her down,the Gasosaurus starts to go in for the kill but the Agilisaurus starts kicking back but it’s no use,eventually the Gasosaurus bites down on the Agilisaurus’s neck and starts to feast

Just then the Shunosaurus babies hatch and we zoom in on one of their faces

Baby Shunosaurus have egg tooth’s,keratinous spikes that help them break out of their eggs

The baby Shunosaurus falls out of the nest

The babies don’t have the tail club of the adults,their tail club will slow them down when running

The Gasosaurus walks to the nest,but doesn’t attack the hatching babies

He already has a meal,it’s pointless to waste time in hunting Shunosaurus

The Shunosaurus juveniles start running on 2 legs

Unlike adults the Juvenile are small enough to run on 2 legs

The juveniles run into an adult Shunosaurus

Shunosaurus,10 Meters in Length and 5 Tons in weight,their practically invincible animals,and they are their own ecosystem

A small cicada lands onto the Shunosaurus before getting eaten by a Dragonfly

Dragonflies,these dominant predators have evolved in the Early Jurassic

A Pterosaur flies down and eats the Dragonfly

These are Angustinaripterus,the large headed,slow flying,Dimorphodontids like Austrodactylus aren’t around and the swift,agile Rhamphorynchids like Angustinaripterus are the new pterosaurs

Shunosaurus have a symbiotic relationship with Angustinaripterus,the Shunosaurus gets cleaned

The Shunosaurus scared away the Gasosaurus

And the Angustinaripterus gets protection

2 Years Later…

The Shunosaurus are now larger,their Tail Club has started to form and their now 5 Meters Long

The 3 Shunosaurus come across a river and a Huayangosaurus

This is Huayangosaurus,at 4.5 Meters Long and 1.5 Tons,it’s a Stegosaur that’s virtually impossible to kill

A Monolophosaurus mother and here babies appear onto the scene

They may seem similar to Dracovenator,but their not closely related,at 5.5 Meters in Length and weighing 800 Kilograms it is the apex predator of the region and she wants a meal

The Monolophosaurus snarls at the Huayangosaurus while the Shunosaurus start escaping

They aren’t able to run on 2 legs and are a lot slower than they were as juveniles

The Monolophosaurus starts snapping at the Huayangosaurus and bites one of it’s plates,the Huayangosaurus bellows and shakes it off,the Monolophosaurus bites the keratin spike but the Huayangsaurus slips and scratched the Monolophosaurus on accident

This is the Monolophosaurus’s first time seeing a Huayangosaurus,and now she knows that it’s a dangerous animal and focuses on the Shunosaurus

The Monolophosaurus starts chasing after the helpless Shunosaurus and pounces onto one of them,the dust flies into the air and when it settles the Shunosaurus is dead

Only around 2% of all Shunosaurus make it to adulthood

5 Years later….

The Shunosaurus are larger in sized,at 7 Meters long they are to large for even an adult Monolophosaurus to hunt

Farther away in the forest a tree is seen shaking and eventually fall over

We then see a few Shunosaurus swing their tails at the trees

Along with defense,their tail clubs allow them to knock over trees

The Shunosaurus start eating the trees

Along with providing food for them,the leaves provide food for other animals

A small group of Agilisaurus eat the leaves

And the rotting trees provide nutrients for the ground

Shunosaurus are keystone species,it’s impossible for the environment to survive without them

The Shunosaurus quadruplets walk near the jungle outskirts but one nearly gets trampled by a rampaging Omeisaurus

At 22 Meters in Length and weighing 35 Tons,this giant is the most dangerous animal, their at their peak danger in Must

Must is a thing most Elephants experience during the mating season ,they get overly aggressive

Nearby a male Omeisaurus with a small herd sees him,and starts a challenge

These challenges are brutal and often times the loser dies or gets severely injured

The males start bellowing,the must male starts rearing up and the other Omeisaurus charges at the must male.

The Must male gets steady on its feet and smacks the male with it’s tail

The males start biting at each other and eventually they start rearing up and start shoving each other

The ground shakes when these two titans fight

Eventually the non must Omeisaurus pushes the other down

The Must Male starts bellowing in pain

The commotion attracts a lot of Gasosaurus

The Other Omeisaurus starts tearing up and stomps onto the Musy Male’s head

Immediately after a bunch oh Gasosaurus start eating the remains

The Shunosaurus start to walk away and find a salt lick

Salt is a valuable mineral,so salt licks like these are usually full of dinosaurs

The Shunosaurus arrive but there are only a few Agilisaurus here

But a mating pair of Monolophosaurus live here so very few are here

The Shunosaurus start eating the salt and stones nearby

Sauropods don’t have teeth,so they swallow stones to crush food and salt

But nearby a duo of predators start stalking them

The Monolophosaurus,2 giants,each 6 Meters in length and more than a ton on weight,and they see a Shunosaurus walk away from the group and they strike

The Monolophosaurus runs at the Shunosaurus and jump on her

She can barely keep their weight up

The Shunosaurus falls

She might not survive

And then,one of the Monolophosaurus gets knocked down by a Shunosaurus Tail Club and the Shunosaurus manages to shake off the other Monolophosaurus,but the Shunosaurus is struggling

The 3 other Shunosaurus make a wall around the wounded Shunosaurus and start stomping at the ground,the Monolophosaurus start fleeing

These small Groups allow Shunosaurus to live in this hostile environment

2 Years Later…

The Shunosaurus is an adult now,and she is laying her eggs

The Shunosaurus starts digging

These animals are evolutionary titans,nothing on earth will ever reach the size of these animals,they were truely remarkable,but this is only the start of the Dinosaur’s peak

Next time on Walking with Dinosaurs….

A Pelicanamimus jumps into a river

Dinosaurs became truely weird and remarkable

A Concavenator eats a Mantellisaurus

Life is amazing now

At The Riverbed we will see the weirdest and most amazing animals of the Mesozoic Era

Here is all the new things coming in the next update. Btw Prognathodon will be added in 1.3 because I am trying to add lots of detail to it’s model.

Here are the species that are added in this update:

Tuojiangosaurus:

A Stegosaurid that protects itself with it’s spikes. They can be found in jungle biomes and will not attack a player unless they are hit.

Shunosaurus:

A Sauropod with a spiky club on it’s tail. It can be found in savanna biomes. So far the tallest Dinosaur added and the first Sauropod.

Riparovenator:

A recently discovered Spinosaurid that can be found near swamps. It hunts fish and smaller Dinosaurs. This is one of my favorites because of the orange spots added to it.

Nothosaurus:

An aquatic animal that can be found in warm oceans and coral reefs. They can usually be found in groups of 2-3 hunting small fish. They can stay on land for a small amount of time, but will go back into the water.

This update will be published to download tomorrow, I am just fixing a few glitches and adding sound effects to the Dinosaurs.

Made the tail thinner and added spikes to the tail club.
