All right...

Next, we have the ancestor of dinosaurs -- Euparkeria!

Cool pics, especially the proterogyrinus. It's a downoald or is just a Nile Monitor, because it looks really good.

Sorry to say, it's just a Nile monitor. But it still looks good, doesn't it? I'll be back with pics soon...

OK, we exit the Paleozoic section and turn to the Mesozoic...

Here we have a flock of Ornithomimus... (Yeah, there's only one in the photo though)
Ornithomimus
These quick omnivores share their space in the wild with the mighty Tyrannosaurus, so they've gotta be speedy!

There's also birds here -- take a look at the giant flightless seabird Hesperornis!
Hesperornis

PS: Is there a way to make the title of the picture (eg: Hesperornis) appear on my first post? 'Cause I always have to edit it again to make the title show.

And the Deinosuchus Pond! Home to a pair of the second largest, if not the largest, crocodiles in history!

Bravo Fennec Nichov! Are you going to just use non-user animals because that will be cool :clap: :clap:

(Off Topic again :rofl2: you should check your pms)

I will use some user animals but no prehistoric ones. (The Euparkeria was a user animal -- the eastern blue-tongued skink)

 :offtopic: I didn't find anything in my PMs. Maybe you should try again.

I use downloads, but I don't use prehistoric ones because
A. I don't want to, I don't have Dinosaur Danger and most user-made ones are flimsy (no offense to those that have made them, there just aren't any good enough models)
B. I don't have any!

Then... We came to an aviary! A sign on the door says: "Push only one door at a time to prevent the birds from escaping!" You push the door and in we go...

Screeches ring out as we enter. A long-tailed bird is standing in front of you. It's an... Archaeopteryx! The earliest bird!

Don't worry Photobucket is up now. I don't use Imageshack because it reportedly deletes your pictures after a while.

Erm... What about an Avimimus? If you accept, use the secretary bird or peafowl.

Yeah, you're right Chimpinater. And ZooLu, sorry but I've already got my own ideas. Plus I've already used the peafowl and the secretary bird. Cuddly Panda, I like that aviary pic too!

As we exit the aviary, we come to a small terrarium with Callobatrachus. These frogs shared their habitat with China's feathered dinosaurs.

Next, we come to the Mesozoic Mammal Corner. Here is a shrew-like Morganucodon. This mammal is nocturnal and small, allowing it to hide from dinosaurs.
Morganucodon

And here is a Didelphodon pen. These mammals are much bigger than Morganucodon, about the size of a badger. They were omnivorous, and especially liked dinosaur eggs. They even ate baby dinosaurs if they got the chance.

As we exit the age of dinosaurs, you spy a free-roaming animal in the distance... an Argentavis. What on earth could be coming next...?

Sounds cool! Can't wait! The Didelphodon are really ratels.

In front is a rainforest exhibit... What can be inside...?

You walk around and manage to see some animals...
A Godinotia, a primitive lemur-like primate...
Godinotia
An Eurotamandua, an early anteater...
Eurotamandua
And a small pool with a flock of Pesbyornis. These duck-like birds eat small animals in the water.
Pesbyornis
This is an Eocene jungle exhibit. We have a pair of Eurotamandua, a pair of Godinotia and a flock of Pesbyornis.

We soon leave the Eocene jungle exhibit and continue on...
We come to a small pen with the ancestor of most carnivore mammals -- Miacis!
