Prehistoric World

Chapter 9: Public Opinion

The park is now open, and the people are loving the animals. Many had never seen such interesting and bizarre animals. Of course, T rex gets the most attention. "This animal is one of my favorites, and it's the most beautiful creature that I have ever seen."

On the plains, the Diplodocus are being fed, and a little girl seems to like feeding them. "I thought that, they were these big, scary animals, but really, they're gentle giants."

Hynerpeton are enjoying the sun, but the people are getting noisy for them, so they dive underwater. The Koolasuchus meanwhile, doesn't mind them looking over him. He likes the way they give him fish when the feeders come. "Honestly, I never thought that amphibians could grow to this size."

With Dunkleosteous, the people are in awe. Many of them had never known such a creature lived before the dinosaurs. "This animal is a very special fish," said the announcer, "It has massive jaws, and what looks like teeth, are actually extensions of the armor, that slide against one another, and they sharpen each other." The food comes, and the Dunkleosteous sliced through well.

With Basilosaurus, the baby is starting to get big, and the enclosure can only hold one adult Basilosaurus, so they move the baby, and the mother, gets some relief for space. "It's odd really, seeing a territorial whale. Whales today are usually social animals."

The Daspletosaurus twins seem to be liking the attention. "When I think of dinosaurs, I usually think of T Rex, but I never thought that there were dinosaurs that looked just like it before it's time. I thought it evolved from dinosaurs like Allosaurus."

The Terror Bird and Megalania are very eye catching for the public. Many have never even known these animals existed. "Usually, when I think of the age of mammals, I don't think of a reptile, or bird taking the roll of top predator. Shows you that in some ways, the age of dinosaurs never left in some places in the world."

The Mammoths and Andrew are loved. The guests think it's amazing. "Two animals, from the same region, but from different times, here, and are very much getting along with each other." At the forested area, some people mistake the Mastodons for Mammoths. "See, the Mammoths have a dome head, and hump on their shoulders, while Mastodons have flat surface over their backs. They also have more forward facing tusks, and Mammoths have curved tusks."

The Elasmotherium is a very popular animal, because of how it looks. "It looks like a rhino with lots of hair and a unicorn horn. And from the description, it is basically like that."

Einiosaurus and Maiasaura seem very content, and the people have even gotten sattles on some of the Einiosaurs, and offer rides on the dinosaurs. Some don't mind it, but others do. "I feel like this is a once in a life opportunity. It's not every day that you get to see dinosaurs or even ride them!"

The Therizinosaurs seem to feel neutral with the guests. Some are happy to be admired, and others just want to be left alone. "I have never seen something so bizarre. It amazes me that animals like this."

The first day is a success, and the people love the animals. But there are more that people will see.

Next season, (Y/N) will go and save the famous Smilodon.

The recently famous Arthropleura.

The sea going Mosasaurus.

Paraceratherium, the largest land mammal to ever live.

The amazing Pachyrhinosaurus.

and the Bizarre Deinotherium.
