Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 04, 2006, 01:43:57 PM
The name's Denham, Jack Denham, and I'm a dinosaur hunter. To some, it may sound strange, but to me, it is very real.

I started out as a zoologist, but when the boss of a company called DPF, the Department of Prehistroic Fauna, called me, he suggested I come meet him.

I did, and he told me of his time bending portal. It had been tested already, and worked amazingly. He asked me if I was up to a challenge, and this challenge was to create and maintain a small breeding center of long-extinct animals.  I took the job, and he put me in charge of everything.

This is my story...

About a week later, he escorted me to a large tract of land. It was far from any civilization, and had no interaction with the outside world, except for that of a long road leading to- Heh, sorry, I can't tell you where this place is.

We started work on the exhibits that would one day hold the massive beasts, and we had used the natural resources to our advantage.  We surrounded a small hardwood forest with thick electrical fencing, to keep in the animals.  We put a small fence around a large fissure in the ground, which would one day become the home of an animal that would change my life, or possibly end it...

We continued construction for another five months, and when it was done, I was ready for the adventure...

RAAK! RAAK! The birds of the late cretaceous filled the jungle with noise. The steamy atmosphere made my skin sweat. During this time, the planet was much, much hotter. I was in what would one day become Montana, but now it was the home of dinosaurs.

I don't mean to be a know it all but there was no grass in the late cretaceous.

Post by: Packraptor on November 04, 2006, 02:37:36 PM
Yes, I know, but it's the best I could do with ZT2.

The bushes nearby rustled, and my team and I crouched, guns poised, ready for attack. Out from the underbrush came the beak of an animal. But this was no bird's beak, this was the beak of a dinosaur.

Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 04, 2006, 02:50:49 PM
My team quietly crept back, as the creature emerged from the forest. I noticed it to be a cerotopsian, a horned dinosaur. It had long spines on it's frill, and a long horn above it's beak. Styracosaurus, I thought, Styracosaurus albertensis, to be precise. Styracosaurus was a close relative of Triceratops, but it was smaller. When it came into full view, it did not run, nor did it show any signs of aggression. Possibly because we smelled of mammals, which, at this time, were all very small, about the size of possums.

You could always just use dirt, which has less grass. Otherwise great story Packraptor.

Post by: Packraptor on November 04, 2006, 03:23:41 PM
The dinosaur watched us for a while, then made a bellow-grunt, and a few more of them came into view. I could tell that this was a small herd of animals, led by a pair of males. There were only four of them, two males and two females. They probobly strayed from the main group to forage for food.

Sorry for editing the last post, I found out that one of the pics was supposed to go here instead.

I hate to prove you wrong, but quite recently, paleontologists found fossil grass that dated back to the late cretaceous, it was already highly evolved

Seventy five million years after I saw the Styracosaurs, my team was herding them into their new exhibit, in the hardwood forest of the reserve. We had been watching them for quite some time, and we already had names for them. The first one we saw, which was one of the males, seemed to be the most dominant of them all, so we named him Sergeant. We named the other male, who preferred to hang out with the females more, "The Lady's Man", or TLM, for short. The two females were named Thelma and Louise, as they acted like the intrepid duo.

Jack Driscoll and Carl Denham, from King Kong '33 and '05.

Combined make Jack Denham. I'm guessing that is the whole secret thing.

Now, back to the story!

The Styracosaurs seem to be getting on well, and some are even showing signs of the breeding season. Sergeant and TLM are fighting a bit, possibly because they are going into the rut, but we believe it'll pass when the breeding season is over.

Post by: Packraptor on November 05, 2006, 12:35:10 PM
Thank You!

The slow flow of a nearby creek enhanced the atmosphere of the late cretaceous. I was back, but this time I was looking for other animals.

Presently, I was watching a flock of smaller dinosaurs, Avimimus. This was odd, because these dinosaurs were supposed to live in Asia, while I was in North America.

"These must be a new species of Avimimus," I told a few members of my team. I had my sights set for them, an undiscovered species of dinosaur, completely new to science.

Editor's note: yes, I know that these aren't really Avimimus, but they're close enough, right?
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 05, 2006, 12:40:04 PM
I watched the flock forage through the undergrowth, searching for lizards and such. Suddenly, one member of the flock jerked it's head up, cocking it from side to side, no doubtedly listening to something...

In an explosion of activity, a large, carnivorous dinosaur burst from the treeline, headed for the Avimimus. It quickly snatched one up, and sped off, back into the jungle.

Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter

The rest of the flock ran for their lives, and accidentally cornered themselves in a small valley in all of the confusion. We took advantage of this oppertunity, and quickly built a temporary fence around one side, so as to keep them there, until we decided to bring them back to the 21st century.
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 05, 2006, 02:12:10 PM
I had my team set up camp around the temporary Avimimus pen, and I set off to see the massive predator that scared them...

"Come on guys," I shouted to my two assistants, "we gotta go see what that was!"

I was in the late cretaceous, and on the trail of  a massive beast, which had recently startled a flock of North American Avimimus. We followed a well-worn trail thinking that that was the route the creature had taken.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been kinda busy. With what? Drumroll please!

Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter- The amateur motion picture!

It doesn't quite fit with this story, but it is similar. It involves Jack Denham (played by yours truly) going back to the mid-cretaceous, when the mighty Utahraptor was dying out, and when other animals, like Euoplocephalus, and Leptoceratops were just beginning to emerge. I try to find a Utahraptor, and bring it back, but along the way, I encounter other animals, including the massive Astrodon, and a unknown type of pterosaur. I end up bringing several animals back, and care for them in a dinosaur sanctuary.

Can anyone guess the animals that I bring back?
*hint: there are 4 species brought back*

What do you guys think?

Ah, well you are looking at (or, not really looking at, well, reading the post of) a very artistic person. I love to make things, and so do my friends. Last year, my school had a play. My best friend and I signed up for prop making, but at the last minute signed up for acting. We're good in both, which is why we are the main characters. I've already started to try out making the dinosaur eggs. Does anyone else notice that the liquid stuff you use for paper mache lasts for a very, very long time? I've got one egg ready, and when it fully dries, I'm gonna cover it with wall mud to smooth the creases out and add some texture.

Also, try and guess what kind of animals I bring back. I love guessing games.

Post by: Venatosaurus on November 18, 2006, 04:38:39 PM
utahraptor,Euoplocephalus,Astrodon,and another species and let me guess your gonna use one of your pets as a dinosaur.and where ya gonna show the motion picture.Its gonna be awsome are ya gonna have any sauropods?
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 18, 2006, 04:53:27 PM
So far these have been guessed correctly:

Utahraptor
Euoplocephalus

Those are the only ones that have been guessed right. I am encountering an Astrodon which is a sauropod. No, I'm not gonna use one of my pets as a dinosaur, though my gecko might be in a few shots.

2 more! Keep-a-guessing!

Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops Horridus and whats your park gonna look like the one from p.p man i wish i could do something like that how ya gonna make the dinos cgi cause theres like some program with a book called modeling digital dinosaurs and what site will your movie be on and when will it be released hey i may be speaking to a future actor
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 18, 2006, 05:20:07 PM
Nah, those two aren't in the movie (they didn't even live at the time I'm going to).

My reserve will look a bit like prehistoric park, but it's more forest, and has a bit of a temperate climate.

Sadly, my artistic talents don't go as far as CGI, and my animals will be made the old fashioned way, life-sized models. Not the whole dinosaur, just the major bits and pieces, like the head, feet, tail, and back.

I doubt that I'll be a future actor, I really want to work at a zoo. But, If some company asks me to act in a special, like Nigel Marvin and his special, Prehistoric Park, then I will jump at the oppertunity.

EDIT: Also, I have a few detailed dinosaur head puppets, and an animatronic animal, which will be brought back. I also have a fake raptor hatchling.

Alright! I'm baaaack!!! And I've got a whole new chapter to the story! Here we go!!!

We decided to jump. As I launched myself from the cliff-face, I quickly got a glance of the animal that attacked us. I fell eighty-feet before hitting the fast-flowing water, and was swept downstream.

We were sure that the creature wouldn't follow us, so we swam across the river with the current. When we got to the other side, we collapsed, and fell asleep.

We awoke to a strange smell. it was very pungent and musty. I had smelled it before, but not in the cretaceous, at least not as strong as now. It smelled like a bull elephant, like one that had gone into musth.

I quickly stood up, and saw the creature that had attacked us, thirty yards upstream, walking towards us.

Post by: Packraptor on November 22, 2006, 11:22:35 AM
Alright, time to get into some action!!!

The beast that had attacked the Avimimus walked out of the forest, and walked straight to the other animal, which I realized was a Triceratops. I couldn't quite identify the species.

The Avimimus killer roared, a sound so loud that it hurt our ears. I looked at it, and realized it was the the most feared dinosaur of them all, a Tyrannosaurus rex! But something was strange. This was no fifty-footer, this dinosaur was only about forty-five feet long. I realized it was a male, which were smaller than the females.

The Triceratops bellowed in response, and came charging towards the Tyrannosaur, who stood his ground. We quickly got out of the way.

The T.rex jumped out of the way at the last second, and delivered a bone-crunching bite to the Trike's back. The herbivore squealed in pain, and pivoted around to face the predator. It charged, and the T.rex dodged again, this time slicing the Triceratops with it's talons on it's feet. Now the Trike was getting angry.

The Trike was getting angry, and this time it went for the T.rex's leg, and hit home. The Tyrannosaur was gored, and fell to the ground. The Trike was dazed and lightheaded, probobly from the carnivore's bite.

You see, the teeth of Tyrannosaurus were serrated, like a shark or Komodo dragon, and similar to the Komodo dragon, when it eats, bits of meat get stuck in the teeth and rot, creating a potent mix of bacteria. When the rex bit the Trike, the bacteria oozed in, and began to slowly kill the herbivore.
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 24, 2006, 12:56:10 PM
Well, I guess I'll just go ahead and finish this part.

The Triceratops ambled off. It had no idea that it was dying. The Tyrannosaur was still alive, but barely. It couldn't get up, it's leg was gored, and blood was pouring out.

That's when I got an idea.

Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 30, 2006, 05:21:13 PM
Sorry it took so long everyone. I had alot of things to do.

Anyway...

I was in a sticky situation. I had an injured T.rex which needed to be saved, but no way to catch it. That's when I got an idea.

I ran back to my camp, but when I got there, everyone had left, and they had taken the Avimimus flock with them. "They must have gone back to the future" I thought. I hoped that they had sent the time machine back so that we could return home.

I quickly ran through the jungle to where the time machine was supposed to be. "Yes!" I shouted, "they left it here!" They had. There it was, the greatest invention since the wheel. A machine which could teleport you to anywhere, and anywhen.
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on November 30, 2006, 05:28:46 PM
I hurried my way in to the machine and searched through our supplies. "Got it!" I said, as I grabbed a few chunks of meat out of our food stores. I quickly dropped some on the floor, to lure the Tyrannosaur in.

I ran as fast as I could back to the T.rex, which was trying to get up as I arrived. I used some more of the meat to get his attention, and he began limping towards me.

I let him get as close as I dared, then I lured him towards the time machine. He followed me, and soon noticed the pile of meat on the floor.

After he made his way in, we quickly got behind the steel bars that seperated part of the time machine from the main holding area, which was designed to hold large animals.

The T.rex knew something was wrong. He tried to escape, but we had already closed the time machine, so there was no going back.

He roared in frustration, and attacked the bars. The dinosaur tried all he could to escape, and to attack us. He roared, he stomped. He attacked the bars again, and this time snapped a few of them.

"Jack, we have to go NOW!" my teammate yelled.

I quickly flipped the switch and...

"Jack!" my assistant shouted, "The T.rex is doing it again!"

I was back home, back in my own time. We had recently captured a large male Tyrannosaurus rex, along with a whole flock of a new species of Avimimus.

I made my way to the quarentine pen, and looked at our newest addition. He had been exhibiting some strange behavior. His leg, which was gored by a Triceratops 80 million years ago, had fully healed by now, which was a very good sign. It showed that dinosaurs, well, at least T.rex, had a very good immune system, and could heal from extreme wounds, similar to crocodilians.

Recently, he had been attacking the sides of the qurentine pen.

Post by: Packraptor on December 02, 2006, 10:53:38 AM
I decided to leave. I thought that the T.rex was just having a temper tantrum, and was doing what he could to calm himself down.

I headed towards the new Avimimus paddock. These animals were of a new species, and they were given the name of Avimimus americana. The flock was settling in nicely. When we gave them their vaccines, we found out that two of the five were males, and three were females. Perfect, a breeding colony.

That's when I remembered. I should check on our first arrivals, the Styracosaurs. I made my way down the paths to their enclosure, and went inside. I looked around for a few minutes, but I couldn't find them. How could a four creatures bigger than a rhino hide so easily?

Hey everyone! I'm back! And with more story, and this time, something very interesting happens...

I decided to take a break, maybe they would move around and I would be able to find them then. That's when I heard it. It wasn't a loud sound, just a faint one, coming from the farthest part of the enclosure, the part with the thickest forest. It sounded like scraping, and I thought it would be one of the Styracs rubbing against a tree, probobly to remove an itch or mark it's territory.

I followed the sound, and soon found one of the females. It was Louise. What was she doing?

I moved closer and realized what it was...

I finally saw it. A nest. Louise was building a nest! She didn't seem to mind my presence, or that of another keeper. This was good, it seemed that she trusted us. I wached her constuct her nest, first pushing the earth around with her back feet, then padding it down and constructing the shape with her front feet.

Hello everyone! I'm back from Virginia. Nice place. Anyway, I told you I'd post some more of the story, so I will now. Here we go!

When she finished her nest, she began laying her eggs, and covered them with some leaves, to keep them warm. If Louise sat on her eggs, like a bird, then she would crush them with her several-ton weight. While she was laying her eggs, I noticed that Louise was acting strange. She was looking straight ahead, and wouldn't react when I moved around, or talked to the other keeper. We concluded that she went into a trance while laying her eggs, similar to crocodilians, turtles, and some snakes. Great! Another dinosaur behavior to check off the list.

And for those of you who guessed, the answer is: Elvis! Congratulations Eggleston1992! And, sorry, while in Virginia, I got hungry and ate the cookie. It was still good, but was covered in pocket lint.

Thanks Eggleston, I kinda felt bad *burps*. mmm... several month old cookie....

Anyway:

I was amazed at Louise and her nest. But I had to leave, because the other keepers were releasing the T.rex, which was now named Elvis (the king of dinosaurs, named for the king of rock n' roll), into his new home, the giant fissure in the center of the reserve. By the time I got there, he was already in the fissure.

Okay, this'll be one of the last posts tonight, I'm gonna watch America's Funniest Home Videos soon, and then I'll get some more updates, hopefully.

We gave Elvis some more meat, and hoped that he was alright. He was still being aggressive, but this time, he was attacking the trees in his enclosure. I had to do something. I couldn't have the first T.rex in sixty-five million years to be unhappy. I needed to do something.

Hey everyone. Sorry that it's been so long, I've had alot of homework this week. But I did get some time today, so I wrote this bunch here:

Two weeks later, the newest animal arrived. It was a new resident, but it wasn't exactly very spectacular. This new creature was a bison, but it still helped us at the park.

I realized that Elvis was taking his aggression out on the trees, because he couldn't take it out on his food. This would also explain why he attacked the Triceratops so long ago.

I got the bison to give to Elvis, so that he could chase it, attack it, fight it, and eat it, like he would in his time, with smaller dinosaurs.

I chose a bison, instead of a cow or goat, because bison still have that little bit of wild inside of them, unlike the other two animals, and will still fight back, giving Elvis more of a challenge.

Well, sorry to those who guessed what the next animal was, because you all got it wrong. Maybe next time.

Also, if you look closely, you can see the next part of the story in that picture.

Can we see Elvis attack the bison? :bounce:

And I'm guessing the next part is on some kind of forest animal, living in that enclosure just behind the bison.
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: DragonGod on December 13, 2006, 11:57:51 PM
Is the next animal an archaeopteryx???
or a carnotaur?
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on December 14, 2006, 12:59:36 PM
Okay, I'm back! And to answer the questions:

The tanks walls are part of the time machine
The exhibit behind the bison is Elvis'
We can't see Elvis attack the bison, but we can see him 'chase' it.
The next part is in front of the time machine, because it's the quarentine pen

Okay, and here's some more of Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter!

As soon as we lowered the bison into Elvis' enclosure, he began stalking it, his natural instincts taking over. "Yes!" I said, "my plan is working." The bison sniffed the air, and knew something was going on.

It never would have known the end would be like this...

NOW, you can see another part of the story in this picture, a part which I hinted at a few pages ago. It will allow him to bring back a bigger variety of creatures.

YUP!!!

I'll try and post that later today, or some time tomorrow, but for now, here's the conclusion of Elvis' encounter with the bison.

This may be a bit violent for some, just a warning

I could see it happening all over again, exactly as it had so many millions of years earlier. Elvis exploded from behind a tree, trampling everything in front of him, just as he had when he attacked the Avimimus so lo long ago.

The bison ran as fast as its legs could carry it, as far from the massive dinosaur as possible. Elvis was much faster than the poor bison, and he overtook it within seconds.

There was no hope left for the doomed bison, as Elvis closed his four-foot jaws around it's torso, his seven-inch teeth, the size of the fangs of the infamous saber-toothed cat, dug into the bison's hide.

As Elvis finished his new meal, he ambled over to a tree in his exhibit, and began to sleep of his meal, digesting it contentedly.

Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on December 28, 2006, 12:50:48 PM
Well, if you like it so much, then I guess I should post more, eh?

After watching Elvis sleep for a while, I decided to go check out the newest feature of the reserve, a huge building, built a week before. It was still under construction, but it contained a few indoor pens, allowing me to bring back smaller animals, ones that would easily fall prey to the hawks and other birds of prey native to the area. We also added an exhibit that was half indoors, half outdoors, to keep in medium-sized animals. I couldn't wait to get some more animals for the reserve.

For those of you that guessed what the sneak peek was, it's actually a young Megalania, and like the Avimimus, I used an official animal for it. The Megalania comes in the story much later, but you can all still look forward to it, right?

Well, I'm finally back. After all of the confusion of returning to school, I finally have some time to post up 'muh story. Well, here we go, I think 'yall are gonna like this part.

As I stepped out of our new indoor enclosures, I got a call on my walkie-talkie.

“Jack, come over to the quarantine pens, I’ve got a surprise for 'ya,” my assistant said.

“I’m on my way,” I replied anxiously.

I ran across the reserve, past Elvis’ fissure, past the Styracosaur enclosure, and I even spooked the Avimimus by accident.


When I got there, I couldn’t believe what it was…

Thank you all for your comments, and continuing from the last part:

Carnotaurus sastrei? H-how did you get it?” I asked.

“Well, you know about the fossil of this guy?” my assistant replied, “well, that fossil is of a Carnotaurus skin impression, and after careful examination by genetic scientists, they extracted DNA from it, and somehow cloned Carnotaurus.”

“That’s cool” I said, taking another look in the pen.

“Wait a minute,” I said aloud, “there’s two of those guys in there!”

“Actually, one’s a guy, the other’s a female.” He replied.

“That’s GREAT!” I said. We’ve got two new animals, a male and a female, now we could study even more of their behaviors.

“That’s not all,” my assistant said, “there different enough in their DNA, that they can breed successfully.”

Post by: Packraptor on January 07, 2007, 06:32:35 AM
Well, I'm back everyone, and thank you Dinomaster, I also think it's kinda like Jurassic Park and Prehistoric Park. Well, here's some more:

Later that day, the other keepers brought the two carnotaurs to the dinosaur vet office, on our reserve. This time, I decided to go take a look.

While they were giving the dinosaurs their vaccines, they explained to me that the dinosaurs need these vaccines in particular, because they might not have been around in their time, the cretaceous. Diseases like influenza, gastrointestinal diseases, among others.

While they we were releasing them to their new enclosure, we all decided to give them the names Dragon, for the male, and Agatha, for the female.

They immediately went to the food we placed for them, they were obviously hungry, even though we fed them the day before. This showed that carnotaurus had a warm-blooded metabolism, because if it had a cold-blooded metabolism, it wouldn’t need to eat so much, and so often. We just kept learning more and more about the biology of dinosaurs.

“Jack, the time portal is ready” my assistant told me. It was time, time for another adventure, another adventure to the unknown, the mysterious, the past. To a time before man, to a time before civilization, to a time long ago.

“Alright, fire her up!” We flipped the switches, and…

The front of the machine closed, then opened, revealing an ancient world. We were back in the Cretaceous, but this time, we were somewhere completely new. We were at an ancient beach!

“Uh, I guess I kinda got the coordinates wrong,” the machine’s operator said. I wanted to go to ancient Kansas, but where were we now?

Hello everyone. I was gonna post earlier today, but I had homework, dinner, and I also had to get a picture for the screenshot contest. And for those of you who were trying to figure out what happens next, you'll just have to read this bit riiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhht.......... HERE!!!

“Apparently, we’re not in Kansas……. at all,” my assistant said.

“Actually, we are,” our Paleontologist, corrected him, “in the late cretaceous, all of the mid-west United States was an inland sea.”

“Really?” my assistant replied.

“Yes,” the Paleontologist said, “it was called the Western Interior Seaway, and it’s also known by several other names, like the Cretaceous Seaway, and the North American Inland Sea.”

“All I know is that it’s also known as ‘Heck’s Aquarium’, because of all the dangerous predators in there,” I said.

NOTE: I took the 'Heck's Aquarium' part from a special by Nigel Marvin, called Chased By Sea Monsters, so I'm not entirely sure that it's really called that.

In front of us was a small lagoon, a beautiful sight.

“What’s that?” my assistant shouted, pointing to something in the water.

Hey, ya know what? More of Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter!

“It’s an Archelon.” the paleontologist said.

“An Archy-what?” my assistant asked.

“Archelon, the giant sea turtle, a creature that could grow to be thirteen feet long or so, and was prey to creatures such as the massive mosasaurs that lived in the ocean. Archelon was also closely related to the modern leatherback sea turtle.”

“Hey! Let’s catch it!” I shouted, and ran to the water and dove in, forgetting about the many dangers of the late cretaceous oceans.

“Jack, no!” the paleontologist shouted.

I swam towards the massive turtle, which was over seven feet long, still a juvenile. It was quite comfortable with my presence, probably because it had no predators my size.
The Archelon was incredibly graceful, looking as though it was flying through the lagoon, small fish swimming in the current it created.

I was so entranced in it’s beauty, that I forgot that I was underwater, and had to come up for air.

“Guys! This thing is awesome!” I shouted to my teammates.

I dove underwater again, and the Archelon was gone…

I would have, but they are too different in bone structure. Hesperornis had a long neck, penguins have short ones. Hesperornis also had smaller flippers (wings) in proportion to their body size.

Yes, I know, but Avimimus might have had feathers on it's arms, which could have covered up it's hands, like a bird's wing. I kinda based all of that off of caudipteryx and archaeopteryx, which had feathers similar to those of birds on it's arms.

Kinda like this pic

Cough, cough:

“Darnet!” I shouted, “where could it have gone to?”

“Jack, I think it went off to find food,” the paleontologist said, “if you didn’t notice, there aren’t any jellyfish in that lagoon.”

“Why jellyfish?” I asked.

“Well, since Archelon was alot like the leatherback sea turtle, it can be assumed that it lived a similar lifestyle.”

“Well then, we’ll just have to go get us some jellyfish!” I suggested.

We went swimming in the waters off the coast, trying to find some jellyfish. Luckily, we had nets for catching small animals, which worked fairly well for catching the jellies, because we caught quite a few.

We brought the jellyfish back to the lagoon, and found a spot to set up a trap. It was a small tidal pool that was mostly cut off from the rest of the lagoon. We tied our jellyfish to rocks (very carefully, of course), and set them in the pool. We were ready to set the trap…

We waited for hours, and finally something happened…

After waiting for several hours, watching the fish swim by, and the pterosaurs swoop ahead, the Archelon finally made it’s way into the trap.

We were waiting, we were stoked, we were gonna get this turtle…

It got closer, closer, closer. The turtle was making a beeline straight for that jellyfish, right according to plan. Luckily, that morning, we put out some netting, supported by thick posts in the sand, to help funnel the turtle into the trap.

The turtle inspected the entrance, probably deciding whether or not to enter it.

“Come on, come on…”

The Archelon entered the trap, and…

We quickly ran into the shallow water, filling in the last bit of the trap, capturing the massive turtle!

“Yes!” I shouted, “we got it!”

“Yeah, but-uh, how are we gonna get it to the time portal, Jack?” my assistant asked.

That was a problem. How would we move a turtle, weighing close to- if not, weighs more than - a ton?

Luckily, we were prepared for something like this. We had plenty of cargo containers in the time portal, and some had wheels. We had one that worked perfectly for the Archelon, and brought it inside.

Thanks everyone. I'll post this here, and see what you all think. Please, don't hesitate to post, I like to read what y'all have to say.

After we put the Archelon in the time portal, we decided to go farther inland. We didn’t come here just for a turtle.

After hours of walking, we came upon a massive waterfall, and a huge forest, filled with conifers. In the Late Cretaceous, in this area, conifers were the dominant plant life, but a few others existed, clinging to the Earth for nutrients.

We looked to the sky, and noticed a majestic pterosaur, soaring on the warm thermals. Oh how we longed to catch it, and bring it back, but we had no way of keeping it, and no way of catching it.

Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on January 21, 2007, 10:37:42 AM
Well, I guess I'll just go ahead and reach the next major part of the story.

We wandered around the area for a few hours, and finally came upon something magnificent.

We looked down from the cliff we were at, and saw one of the most famous dinosaurs of all time, Triceratops. We saw something very strange, though. There were two kinds of Triceratops in front of us. One that was green, and had long horns, and another that was brown, and has smaller horns.

“Jack, it looks like we discovered two species of Triceratops!” my assistant said.

“Maybe,” I replied.

We needed to catch these animals, we would have two species of Triceratops…

Editor's Note: Yes, I know that they're the same species, just play along, it will all make sense later.
Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter

Post by: Packraptor on January 21, 2007, 03:05:35 PM
Well, if you liked that, then you'll probobly love what I have in store for this story.

“Alright guys,” I said, “let’s ease our way down there, and get a better look of those animals.”

We stealthily walked down the hill, towards the large beasts. When we got down, we noticed that the dinosaurs were completely oblivious to us, and were entirely focused on eating.

Post by: Packraptor on January 22, 2007, 03:25:28 PM
No, not yet. You all will find out sooner or later.

We got as close as we dared, and watched the dinosaurs for a while. We learned what they were eating. The Triceratops were all eating tough shrubs, and not some of the softer plants around. The trikes were eating this stuff, probably because of their sharp beaks. Other animals of this time ate softer foods (the ankylosaurs) and food that was higher up (certain hadrosaurs).

Title: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on January 22, 2007, 04:05:13 PM
Ceratopsids (horned dinosaurs with frills) had hard beaks and hard teeth, great for grinding plants. Their frills were also anchors for powerful jaw muscles, which would have aided them in eating tough food. Ankylosaurs (armored dinosaurs with tail clubs) had smaller jaw muscles and less efficient teeth, at least for eating tough food. Hadrosaurs (the duck-billed dinosaurs) were the greatest at chewing, though, and probobly ate things like pine needles, and other plants. I also just kinda felt like saying this, but, I have an ankylosaur tooth, it's pretty cool, and you can see why it's not very good at grinding, it's more peg-shaped.

Well, I think I'll bring this thread back on topic, I don't wanna let it get closed again.

We got closer to the Triceratops herd than we had ever imagined. We hid in one of the nearby bushes, to camouflage ourselves. We got so close, that we could smell them.

One of the green trikes moved towards us, but luckily, it didn’t notice our presence. That’s when I smelled it.

It was the same musty smell I had smelled when I was attacked by a Triceratops the last time I was in the Cretaceous.

“Ugh,” I whispered to my team, “remember that that?”

“Yeah, Jack, just don’t spook this one.”

Thank you, I appreciate that you post here so often. Anyway, just as a little tension breaker:

“Oops” I heard my assistant say.

“Oh no, what did you do now?” I asked.

“Uhhhh…., I stepped in something.”

“Oh, come on man, watch where ‘ya step.” I said, “you know what, let’s move on a little bit, we’ll be able to find these guys later.”

We walked for a long time, and came upon an awesome beast. It was the largest crocodilian ever to live, the mighty Deinosuchus. Luckily, this one appeared to be a youngster, a mere twelve feet long, if you could call it a youngster.

“It looks like a young female to me,” I said, “I worked with crocodilians before I got into this dinosaur business, and I can kinda tell them apart.”

No matter what it’s gender was, the reptile was magnificently beautiful, as it slowly slid into the small pond nearby.

you should bring back the fish too breed and clone them to both show them as attractions and food for the deinosuchus

Well, just to bump this a little:

We watched the great saurian swim in the water, so very majestically. We were gonna catch this thing.

We planned out a clever trap…..

What will happen next?

Hmmm.... maybe, maybe not, you'll just have to find out. Well, I'll post this for now, it's the next big cliff hanger...... thing.

We got out our supplies. We had several hundred feet of thick, cord, and several axes. We chopped down a few trees, to use as posts for our clever trap.

I based the trap off of one of the most simple of all, the minnow trap. The point is, that the animal comes through one end and is funneled into an area, where it can’t really get out of, forcing it to stay.

We baited it with a few chunks of meat, hoping that our new quarry would come…

Well, here goes. Who can guess what happens next?

“AAAAGGGHHH!!!” I shouted.

“Jack, what are you doing!?” my assistant shouted, as I ran towards the water where the crocodilian was concealed.

I plunged into the water, and swam up to the mighty animal.

I was an expert on crocodilians, second only to the Crocodile Hunter himself, Steve Irwin, and I knew what could happen if I did this.

Sorry it's been so long everyone, I've been hanging out at Dinomaster30's website, and I've had some stuff to do for school. Oh, and be sure to vote for me in the screenshot cotnest hehehe. But, anyway, I think you'll find out what happens to Jack in this installment of: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter!

I swam right beside of the awesome reptile, and got her attention. I tried to make it seem like I was intruding in on her territory. She turned on me, just as I had planned. Now, I hoped, that I could swim faster than she could, at least for a little bit.

I swam to shore, as fast as I could, and when I clambered on, and ran into the trap, she burst from the water, running at an incredible speed.

I rounded the corner of the trap, and jumped out, just as the croc was rounding the bin, snapping at my heels as I escaped.

Well, it's a nice day, so I'll post more.

We quickly shut the end of the trap, and went back to look at our great catch. The deinosuchus was extremely angry. She hissed, growled, and thrashed around insanely.

It was getting late, and we still wanted to catch a few more animals. We were too far from the time portal to camp out there, so we subdued the deinosuchus, and carried her with us to a spot we had passed earlier. We were about to set up camp, when we heard some small movements in the thick underbrush nearby…

how could it be any of those raptors?

2.both of those raptors lived in deserts
i still think its either microraptor,achreopteryx,or eocene walking with prehistoric beasts(the one with propaleotherium,ambulocetas(sp?),and gastronis)
Title: Re: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: Packraptor on February 25, 2007, 08:21:31 AM
Apparently some of you are not familiar with Late Cretaceous North America.

1) Velociraptor & Oviraptor lived in Asia
2) Carnotaurus lived in South America (and I already have a pair of them)
3) I'm missing one of the most successful genera of all extinct animals. I'll give you all a hint: unsuccessful in the Mesozoic, extremely successful in the Cenozoic.

Post by: jakeeh11 on February 25, 2007, 08:58:14 AM
Umm... I think... umm... field trip to wikipedia!

Later that day: After careful consideration, I'd have to say the Mosasaur. Its aquatic, lived in the Cretaceous (which was in the late Mesozoic) and lived in north America. GO WIKIPEDIA!!!! And me! And Jack Denham! And (goes on for hours)  :jumpflow:

BINGO!!!

We searched through the thick undergrowth, and that’s when we saw it.
“Wait.” I said, staring at the creature. It was a small mammal, clinging to life in a reptilian world. We couldn’t tell what kind it was, but we knew we could catch it.

Hey, I only used the bamboo because there was no other kind of thick vegetation in the game.

Can anyone guess what kind of mammal it is? I'll give you a hint: it appeared in a BBC production.

Didelphodon is a good guess, Snowstalker!

If it's from the age of mammals, then Lepiticidium is my best guess, though I think snowstalker got it.

There's two mammals in WWD: Steropodon and Didelphodon. My guess is Didelphodon, as Steropodon was not from this place.

Is it a Leptictidium? It was in Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, the sequel to Walking with Dinosaurs.

Post by: Fennec Nichov on February 27, 2007, 06:04:56 PM
But it wasn't from this time or place.

Very true. I've compiled a list of prehistoric mammals in the Walking With... Series:
Steropodon
Didelphodon
Leptictidium
Ambulocetus
Eurotamandua
Cynodictis
Embolotherium
Andrewsarchus
Basilosaurus
Moeritherium
Godinotia
Apidium
Dorudon
Indricotherium
Hyaenodon
Entelodon
Chalicotherium
Deinotherium
Australopithecus
Dinofelis
Ancylotherium
Smilodon
Megatherium
Doedicurus
Macrauchenia
Mammuthus
Coelodonta
Megaloceros
Panthera
Homo
Elasmotherium
Arsinoitherium
Pachycrocuta
Odobenocetops

The result? Only Steropodon and Didelphodon are from the Cretaceous, and only Didelphodon could have coexisted with Deinosuchus. So it's almost certainly a Didelphodon.

My good man (or woman), by any chance are you referring to "Scrat", that OH SO ANNOYING :angry: little squirrel, rat, THING from "ICE AGE"
Title: Re: Jack Denham: Dinosaur Hunter
Post by: JohnZTMaster on February 28, 2007, 08:02:18 PM
Eh, Scrat was okay.

Yeah, Didelphadon's a good guess. It'll probably be using the Ratel for a base, but I wouldn't be too surprised by a Wolverine.

Sorry about complaining about the bamboo, I just REALLY want to know what we're going to see.

I think it's a Didelphadon.

It's almost certainly a Didelphodon. Didelphodon is the only mammal in the Walking With... Series that is from this place and time.

It probly is a Didelphodon, fossil show they lived in the late Cretaceous period, in N.America and once found inside a Deinosuchus fossil  :faint  :slol: TELL US =P
