The Dinosaurs After Ingen...
Alloclaw Thu Jul 29, 2010 3:49 pm
In 2001 Alan Grant and a party were stranded on Isla Sorna after their plane crashed. The Kirbys were the ones who intended this expedition, due to the fact they were searching for their lost son Eric. After a few losses of life and Eric dramatic story, the families who their lost their loved ones sued Ingen. Ingen was in a horrible state already after the Isla Nublar and San Diego incidents. This was the killing blow to Ingen. The company died on November 12, 2004. Isla Sorna was bombed and wiped out the prehistoric inhabitants by the Costa Rican government in order to stop any more incidents.
However Jason Webster decided to make a new company. He purchased 5 islands, and was determined to have 100% pure dinosaurs roaming these islands. Located in the South Pacific, these islands were the perfect home for the prehistoric inhabitants.
Timeline:
Isla Sorna Incident: July 2001
The Kirbys along with the famous Alan Grant and few others go to Isla Sorna to retrieve the Kirbys son, Eric......some loses of life and Eric's story causes the family of the killed to sue Ingen.
The Announcment: October 2001
A few weeks after 9-11, the United States government reveals on the news that they are debating with the Costa Rican Government wheter Isla Sorna should be bombed to prevent more fatalies.
The Mass Protests: October 2001-November 2003
Hundreds of thousands of animal rights groups and Eco terrorists march on capitol hill to try to stop Sorna's bombing after the news reveals that Sorna will inded be bombed in Late 2003 or Early 2004.
More Incidents: December 2003
Animal Rights groups secretly try to "save" the animals on Sorna. All of them are killed except for one. More law suits against Ingen occur..... Ingen is on its knees.
The Bombing: June 14 2004
Isla Sorna is nuked to the point where nothing survives. Ingen secretly hands over a device to a novice scientist, Jason Webster. This device clones pure 100% animals without the need of filling in gaps. Jason Webster secretly buys a group of Islands in the Tropical South Pacific along with some Ingen employes. The company becomes known as "Biovida." Outrage sparks even larger protests in D.C. by animal rights groups. The groups kill an officer and severly injure some law makers.
The Fall of a Giant: November 14, 2004
Ingen finally falls and collapses from the suings and destruction of their investment. Many of the workers head secretly to Biovida. The world goes back to the way it was before Ingen.
The First Cloned: January 15, 2005
Biovida clones 3 Eotriceratops. The babies reveal that ceratopsians were omnivores and had quills to Biovida without the main stream paleotologists knowing till the discovery of a quilled Psittacosaurus in 2006. Intensive research is done to how the animals do on Isla Kellor. The animals pass and thrive greatly.
Cloning Spree: October 2005-March 2011
Biovida clones many prehistoric animal species.
Slowing down: March 2011-March 2013
Biovida is still cloning but at a slower pace. Animals doing excellent in their new habitats.
Going out: March 2013
Biovida employees head to Australia(the islands are "close" to Australia....if you call 1200 miles close!). They keep all information secret.
The Isla Serins Incident: June 2014
?
Coming back: July 2014
Biovida employees come back to the islands...only to find the wreck of the Isla Serins incident and many many dead bodies of people. Animals still doing great.
You are reading Biovida as it is: 2017.......
Map of the Islands:
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/i/biovidaislandswithwater.jpg/
Islands Geography:
The Islands of Bio Vida started out more than 20 million years ago as a result of volcanic activity. With rich volcanic soil a variety of plants grew. No mammal larger than a rabbit evolved. Birds reached large sizes some 2 million years ago, including a large 7 ft tall moa like bird as well as large flightless herons, ducks, and owls. However the large birds went extinct some 10,000 years ago, possibly as a result of climate change as there is no evidence that humans ever reached the islands. Lying in the warm and clear water, coral reefs surround the islands. The reason why the islands may not have been discovered by human explorers is that the coral reefs would have made the ships crash. It was not until 2004 that the islands were discovered by Bio Vida.
Islands themselves and where they stand:
Isla Kayornis:
The southen most island, Isla Kayornis, lies to the west of a large trench that goes down some 27,000 ft. Isla Kayornis, has a bay which hosts a large sea grass plain. Sea Turtles and rays frequent these areas as the turtles munch on the sea grass while the rays feed on small crustaceans in the sand. Miles out to the east, there is open ocean where sea reptiles hang out, waiting and lurking for potential meals. At the Northwest end of Isla Kayornis, is a large extinct volcano which nearly is 19,000 ft at its tallest heigh. Kayornis has many species of small-medium sized dinosaurs, large dinosaurs are not as common here.
Isla Destro:
Isla Destro is home to a vast variety of dinosaurs, some only found on this island. In the Southeast section, there is a large swamp. Here one could find animals including fish eating theropods such as Baryonx or Austroraptor. The floodplain to the north of the swamp is home to animals such as Deltadromeus and Ouranosaurus. Isla Destro is possibly the most recent island to have formed, estimates date it at about 8 million years old. A shallow channel that is about 10 ft deep seperates Isla Kellor and Isla Destro, meaning that some animals can cross between islands. The shallow channel is considered an underwater desert, with nothing but maybe the occasional hermit crab sccurring by.
Isla Serins:
Isla Serins has the most species of the Bio Vida Islands. Dinosaurs here include Edmontosaurus, Allosaurus, Edmontonia, Yinlong, Shixinggia, Futalognkosaurus, and Rebbachisaurus as well as coutnless others. Pterosaurs such as Quetzalcoatlus fly up above as unchallenged lords of the sky. In the North Central part of the island monatane forest is common, home to a bunch of unique species such as Beishanlong. With the mountains holding moisture away from the north, the northern part of Isla Serins is home to Temperate Rain Forest similar to those found on Southeast side of Isla Sorna. To the west between Isla Trocilan and going up north past Isla Kellor is a beautiful and gigantic coral reef, home to many species of fish and invertabrate. Infact there are so many species that this reef alone may have as many species as those found on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Smaller species of moasaur and other sea reptile live here, feeding on the ocean bounty and hiding away from their larger relatives out in the deep.
Isla Kellor:
Home to the infamous and deadly Blue Tail Allosaurus, Isla Kellor is the oldest of the islands. This island is possibly the most dangerous island. The large predators here include the Blue Tail Allosaurus, "Normal" Allosaurus, Tyrannotitan, and Acrocanthosaurus. Vast herds of Sauropods and Hadrosaurs graze the plains on watch out for threats. The coral reef here is the same as the one that runs up from Isla Serins, and is home to many species,(the reef curves up to the east end, the west end is the shallow channel. This island is where Bio Vida released their first cloned dinosaurs, 3 Eotriceratops.
Isla Trocilan:
Isla Trocilan has the second most species of prehistoric animal, only losing to Isla Serins by a small margin. Only a few miles to the southeast of the island is open ocean. The west side has the "Vida Reef". This island has many habitats including open grasslands, scrub forests, thick rainforests, and a mountain range in the center. Isla Trocilan has two small islands on the Northwest end between itself and Isla Destro. The islands only have a few very small dinosaur species, but the reef that surronds the island is home to many smaller sea reptiles as well as fish eating pterosaur breeding colonies.
Water Depth Map: https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/i/biovidaislandswithoutwa.jpg/
Allosaurus fragilis
Size: 39.4 ft long
Apperance: medium brown color with orangish-red crest. They have light brown stipes along the back.
Diet: other dinosaurs mostly small sauropods and carrion
Islands: Isla Serins, Isla Destro, Isla Trocilan, Isla Kellor
This pack hunting carnivore has an taste for sauropods, this adaptable theropod is found on all but one of the islands. These are actually timid carnivores unless if they are starving or if you make them angry. The killing tatic however is not so timid, they jump onto sauropods hindquarters using their razor sharp claws and teeth to let the prey bleed to death gradually. However they have a different killing tatic when dealing with prey like stegosaurs and ankylosaurs, one Allosaur will distract the prey while the allo behind the prey goes in for the killing bite. These dinosaurs inhabit jungle bordering the open plains. However there is a smaller, unknown allosaurus specie that lives on Isla Kellor that is extremely aggressive and territorial. These ones are medium brown with orangish crest like the others but the have black stripes and a blue tipped tail. Even though are 27 ft long, they will take on other carnivores even the other allosaur species though they are most often ripped to shreads. They are pack hunters however like their bigger relatives but they take more ornithopods and hunt in river valleys at night time. The bigger allosaurus are more caring parents than the smaller ones who seem to eat their own young at times.
Breeding is not restricted to the Alpha pair. Young Allosaurs are born into the same heirarchy as their parents. They are guarded by a low ranking adult and are brought food via their parents. The smaller species are much more mindless when caring for young, often times they just simply leave the young alone to fend for themselves while hunting. In both species males do elaborate dances to impress the females with the males crests blushing bright red.
Hypacrosaurus stebingeri
Size: 32.8 ft long
Appearance: Light Brown, Large Back hump is reddish brown in color, belly is grey, large nasal sacs near nose are reddish orange with a black Tipped Tail Head Crest is light red.
Diet: Ferns, Cycads, Grasses, Fruit
Islands: Isla Destro, Isla Serins, Isla Trocilan
A medium sized Lambeosaurine, Hypacrosaurus is one of the more common large herbivores of Bio Vida. Living in herds of about 30 female adults, they keep in touch with bellows and honks, which are produced with their helmet shaped head crest. These animals are found in lowland open plains where they can be found mingling with other herivorous dinosaur species. During breeding season males get extremly rowdy and active, moving solitarly from herd to herd searching for females ready for mating. With their nasal sac blushed bright red and making loud bellows, males loose all intrests except for the intrest of love. The breeding season occurs during July-September, when most females are ready for mating. When the mating season ends, males join small bachelour groups. The beaten up males make prime targets for hungry predators and many males at the end of rutting meet death in the form of claws or teeth.
Hypacrosaurus females have evolved a clever tactic in order to hide their eggs from mischevious egg snatchers. They lay their eggs right in between the dry and wet season. They journey to sandbars and lay their eggs in dug out pits with vegatation on top of the nests. Within a few days the river levels rises effectively keeps the eggs on the still dry high up sand bars. Almost none of the predators around the river area are egg eaters and they more inland predators have easier meal else where. The females who laid eggs, stay within a mile radius of the eggs, returning to when they hear their babies calls.
Austroraptor cabazai
Size: 16 ft long
Appearence: Rather drab. Light tawny brown in color(like the one in our members Austroraptor banner and avatar)
Diet: Fish, mostly a species of large freshwater trout. Small Dinosaurs as well as carrion.
Islands: Isla Destro and Isla Kayornis
A rare dromeosaur, Austroraptor is incredibly secretive and shy. This rather dull colored dinosaurs spend most of their time by the islands inland water ways. This animal is a devoted fisherman, unlike its dinosaur eating relatives. Specialized eyes reduce the glare from water, and this animals jaws are strong enough to pull up 3 ft long fish. Males and females mate for life, and share a territory. These territories are small, only about a few acres. Austroraptor group up when their favorite food, a specie of trout, makes it way inland to spawn. This animals pick their favorite feeding spot and simply wait. Growls and snaps are quick ways to solve conflict and to focus on the matter of fishing. Young Austroraptor are brought to rivers and swamps when their first born by their mother. Here they eat small fish and insects. These animals have few enimies, this is due to the fact they barf up partly digested fish at would be predators. This gives them almost care free lives, however on Destro; Allosaurus can kill them, mostly due to the fact they hunt in packs.
Dilong paradoxus
Size: 6 ft long
Appearance: Black with White bands on tail. Arm feathers are reddish for display.
Diet: Small dinosaurs including small ceratopsians and ornithopods. Lizards and carrion are also taken.
Islands: Trocilan, Kayornis
Dilong is the granddaddy to Ingen's famous Tyrannosaurus Rex. Dilong's haunting calls echo threw the night. These theropods are nearly 100% nocturnal doing just about all their activities during the cover of darkness. The rest in hollow tree stumps and burrows dug by other animals, waiting till the sun goes down. These animals hunt in small packs usually about 4 adults. Prey items are usually lept on via the back and bit down on the neck. There appears to be no coordinated pack hunting between Dilong, just animals going after the simple interest of food. Dilong are found in the upland Montane Forest, thought they may make occasional excurions to the lower jungle. During courtship, male Dilong making loud hooting sounds similar to that of an owl. The white bands on the tails of the male turn red as well as the arm feathers. Males fight in which they snap at eachother legs, but interestingly they never bite each other. This would appear that this is acctually a ritual instead of a fight. This just goes to show how birdlike these dinosaurs are.
Falcarius utahensis
Size: 13 ft long
Appearance: Body is dark greyish black in color, while the neck and tail are white.
Diet: Leaves, Fruit, Small Animals
Islands: Trocilan, Kellor, Kayornis
The most primitive Therizinosaur, Falcarius is more agile than its stumpier beer gut relatives. Living in flocks of 10-20 adults, these animals live by river areas of the islands. These animals arent picky eaters and will munch away on fruit, leaves, insects, and small animals such as frogs. The herd structure is more like that of an ornithomimasaur, with a sentry or two always on alert for potential threats. Males do dances in front of females with the males clacking his beak and bobbing his head rapidly, the female mimicks his dance. After he gestation period, the female lays about 10-15 eggs in a mound of dirt and rotting leaves. She is just slightly too big to sit on them, so she watches them without food for a few months. When the babies hatch, she leads them back to the herd. Young a prime targets for any predator, especially the ground searcher pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus, who is happy to fill his belly with young dinosaurs.
Archaeopteryx lithographica
Size: 1.6 ft long
Apperance: Red, Black bands through tail. Orange wattles under eyes. Yellowish beak area.
Diet: Insects, Small Lizards
Islands: All
A missing link dinosaur, this common maniraptorian is found on all the islands as well as on the small islands located on the Bio Vida Reef. Archaeopteryx is very colorful, with a scarlet red body. This shows that these animals are indeed like birds of today and shows that birds are dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx are lousy fliers and are not that good at hunting prey on the wing, instead they forage through the leaf litter in search of a meal. Males have elaborate chirps and squeals that echo through the jungle, hoping that a female is in audible range. The male then leaves the female after mating for good. Females build their nests in trees like mosr birds of today and this added benefit keeps them safe from egg snatchers on the ground. The young are well developed when born most of todays birds. However the young are still nest bound and wait for their mother to bring them back food. After a few months, the youngsters try their wings out and try to fly. The youngsters are very uncoordinated and clumsy which could lead to disatorous reults such as running into trees. Small predators such as Mei will often wait by Archaeopteryx nests for a misfortunate youngster to fall in midflight.
Leaellynasaura amicagraphica
Size: 3 ft long
Appearance: Light Brown Protofeathers, Black eyes masks. Orange Tipped Tail
Diet: Mosses, Lichens.
Islands: Only around extinct Volcano on Isla Kayornis
Possibly one of the rarest ornithopods, Leaellynasaurua scrapes out a living where few other dinosaurs would dare. Found right at only around the extinct volcano on the Northwest end of Kayornis, this is the only sutiable haibitat for this cold weather dinosaur. Covered in Protofeathers or fuzz, this helps little Leaellynasaura keep warm above 10,000 ft, which is the place where it lives on the volcano. The other parts of the island where too hot for Leaellynasaura and competition from other herbivores kept them away. Only about 50 or so Leaellynasaura are left, but the population is stable. They feed on just about anything edible, such as mosses, lichens, and even like a rare treat, birds. Not much is known about their breeding habits, but Biovida researchers can assume that they are like most other ornithopods in their breeding habits.
Sordes pilosus
Wingspan: 2 ft
Appearance: light grey with red bill. Black banded tail.
Diet: Insects and small animal such as frogs.
Islands: All
A small common pterosaur, Sordes is commonly seen during the Afternoon, when it eats insects and small animals. Resting in hollow tree during the midday, these animals live in flocks and live like reptilian bats. Sordes are most common in the lowland jungles bordering the plains, where they eat insects kicked up by dinosaurs, and will even eat flies on the dinosaurs sort of like an oxpecker bird of the African plains. Females with young nest in large nesting communties up on the upland-jungle borders. Predators such as Mei or Dilong often times wont go up near the upland borders, most likely they have prey in the lowlands where they live. On Kayornis, Leaellynasaura will munch on the eggs and chicks and arent heistant to take an unwary adult. However chicks throw up a sickening foul gloop at eniemies, usually aimed at the attackes eyes or nose.
Tanystropheus longobardicus
Size: 20 ft long
Appearance: light sandy brown in color, with a orange tipped tail. Belly is very light sandy brown.
Diet: Fish, Squid
Islands: The two small Islands in the Biovida Reef
With its long neck and aquatic habitats, Tanystropheus is the perfect fisherman reptile. The population lives on two small Islands on the Biovida Reef, where prey is abundant. These animals most often lie on rocks a few feet off the shoreline and uses its 10 ft long neck to trap fish. On occasion, these animals head toward to the vibrant reef for an all you can eat buffet. These animals can deliever painful bites if attacked, and almost if they have had an anatomy leason, wont hesitate to bite you where it hurts most. Females lay their eggs like sea turtles in the sand and leave them to hatch by themselves. With only one specie of predatory theropod on the two islands, the eggs are mostly safe. However when the eggs hatch birds and pterosaurs will gather around to snap up the youngsters heading for the water. In only a few feet of water, sharks and fish wait to eat the ones who made it to the water.
Dracorex Hogwartsia
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Light brown with Dark green strips, Redish head area. Quills are blue tipped.
Diet: Seeds, Fruit, Insects, Carrion
Islands: Kayornis, Trocilan, Serins, Destro
Dracorex is one of the first dinosaurs ever cloned by Biovida. These dinosaurs are most common at dusk or dawn, when they go into the lowland plains to forage. Their haunting hooting calls are like that of an owls, and this is assumed that is how they keep in touch. They forage in small groups for seeds, ferns, fruit, and insects. They arent picky eaters like their relatives and will happily munch on carrion or lizards. They are infamous for their ear deafeaning screm when they are handled or attacked, and this often startles a predator so much that even large predators such as Allosaurus run away in confusion and fear. They have sharp quills that offer protection if biten in the back, though the scream keeps them safe. The only animal that can kill them with ease is the theropod Eocarcharia, which ambushes them and servers the Dracorexes head off so quickly that the Dracorex does not have time to respond. However, Eocarharia is only found on Isla Serins, meaning that on the other islands Dracorex is mostly safe.
Confuciusornis sanctus
Size(wingspan): 2.3 ft
Appearance: Red feathered head. Black wings with greyish white under belly. Body is a light greenish in color with two long tail feathers red in color and with a Black spot in the center.
Diet: Seeds, Fruit, Insects.
Islands: All
A common small primitive bird, Confuciusornis is a noisy little animal. Its clucking and chirping calls can be heard throughout the early morning hours and late afternoon. These birds live in small flocks consiting of 5-12 individuals. They forage during the morning on the ground or lower tree levels for seeds, fruit and insects. They will often sit lazily on a perch waiting for a group of larger animals to pass throught the area. With all the dirt kicked up from larger animals, insects are exposed to hungry animals. Confuciusornis then goes down to gobble up the insects along with other dinosaurs. Mating season takes place during March and is when Males do elaborate displays with their two long tail feathers, strutting and singing to impress females around them. After the gestation period the females makes a nest on the lower canopy area made of sticks and rotting leaves. She leaves her brood a while to gather food or more nest supplies. The babies are well developed at birth, and leave their mother at an early age. The young search for a flock of Confuciusornis to join, however they have many small predators who would like to make a little drumstick snack out of the juvinile Confuciusornis.
Miragaia longicollum
Length: 11 ft long
Appearance: Tiger orange in color with black stripes, a few dark green tail stripes as well as orange nasal sacks
Diet: Ferns, Horsetails, Roots, Cycads.
Islands: Serins, Kayornis, Destro
A small long necked stegosaur, Miragaia is a solitary dinosaur that lives in the upper montane forest regions of the islands. Miragaia's eat ferns, horsetails, cycads, roots, and fruit. The only time that Miragaias come together is during the breeding season which happens during December and January. Males plates flush bright red and make loud stomach rumbles to impress the females. Fights rarely break out, due to the fact a Miragaia are one of the more peaceful stegosaurs. The female then lays a medium size batch of eggs into the ground, which sees covers up with vegatation and dirt. Within months the babies emerge from the nest and follow their mother. Miragaias have few threats, due to the fact few predators in the montane forest regions are big enough to threaten them. Small predators in the montane forest areas will take young given the chance, though the mother will put her thagomizer through them.
Giganotosaurus carolinii
Size: 43 ft long
Appearance: Brown with short yellow strips. Reddish crests.
Diet: Hadrosaurs, will happily tackle lone ceratopsians, stegosaurs, and small to medium sized sauropods.
Islands: Trocilan, Destro
One of the largest carnivores of Biovida, and one of the most dangerous as well, Giganotosaurus is a force to recken with. They are solitary for most of the year, only gathering up for mating which is breif and violent. The male will seek out a female in her territory, if he finds her he coxes and eases her with a few growls and submissive bowing. If she accepts him the two will hunt and eat together for a period of about 2 weeks. The female Giganotosaurus will then tire of the male and drive him away, if he is not fast enough to get out a fight could break out in which either the male or female kills one another. Territory infringement is like a unforgivable crime to a Giganotosaurus during the non mating period, with the territory owner not being satisfied until the intruder is dead. Fights between other predators are common, with most of the fights being between packs of Allosaurus. A pack of 5 Allosaurus were seen one time battaling a male Giganotosaurus, the allos kill the Giga though they lost 2 pack members with one being severly mauled. Young Giga's stick with their mothers for a few months, watching their mother hunt and bring food to them. The youngsters leave their mother when they are about 15 ft long. At this size this makes them targets for larger predators including other Giganotosaurus especially adult males.
Limusaurus inextricabilis
Size: 5 ft long
Appearance: Light Brown with Blue head and neck. Tail feathers are reddish and found only in breeding males.
Diet: Insects, Seeds, Fruit.
Isands: Kellor, Kayornis, Serins, Trocilan
A small little theropod dinosaur, Limusaurus is one of the rarest dinosaurs of Biovida. They are ornithomimasaur look a likes but are actually belong to a group of flesh eating predatory dinosaurs called Ceratosaurs. Living in pairs or small groups, these animals are extremly wary, ready to flee at the slightest sign of danger. They keep in touch with a cooing call like that of a pigeon, while a owl like hoot is used by males to locate his chicks. They will munch on just about anything small and edible, though they are fond of seeds and nuts. Females and Males pair during mating. When the babies hatch it is the male who watches them, the female leaves them permanatly. There are many threats in the lowland jungle where they live, so the chicks are well camoflagued to blend in with the ferns and trees. The male runs off yelping trying to lure a predators attention to himself instead of his kids. Competition from flightless birds and ornithomimasaurs has always keep Limusaur numbers low, though the population is stable.
Beishanlong grandis
Size: 20 ft long(I just guessed I am having trouble finding the legnth of it XD)
Apperance: White in color with apricot spots. Red throat pouch which is used as a food storeage device.
Diet: Fruit, Seeds, Insects, Ferns
Islands: Serins, Destro
A very large ornithomimasaur, second in size to that of Deinocherius, which has yet to be cloned. They are rather solitary animals, living alone or in pairs in their monatane forest habitat. Fruit is relished by this dinosaur, infact several species of fruit bearing trees and bushes rely on Beishanlong for seed depositing. They will also eat fungi, ferns, seeds, insects, and maybe catch a small mammal or lizard given the chance. They are quiet dinosaurs, only time they are relatively vocal is during mating season when males make a low booming sound with a inflated throat pouch. Like some other ornithomimasaur species and ratites of today, the males look after the babies while the females take no part what so ever in chick rearing. Beishanlong are common but rarely seen, most likely due to the fact they inhabit the dense humid Montane forest and dont live in groups or make vocalizations to give away their presence.
Eocarcharia Dinops
Size: 25 ft long
Appearance: Dark Brown with short black strips running down the back. Black eye mask. Reddish to orangish color crests.
Diet: Medium Sized Dinosaurs, will not hesistate to take smaller species or slightly larger animals, carrion.
Islands: Serins
A mini version of the more well known Carcharadontosaurus, Eocarcharia is none the less predatory and ferocious. Infact they even pose more of a threat to humans then their larger relatives, due to the fact humans would make more of a meal to an animal of 25 ft long than of 43 ft long. These carnosaurs are found in lowland floodplains and jungle borders, thought they make some excursions in the deep jungle at times. Eocarcharia's mate for life with a male and female occupying a territory together, only really meeting to mate and raise the chicks. Males grow purplish blue protofeathers on their backs to impress their mate and to make her more interested in mating. The males go out hunting while the female looks after the babies. The most common prey are ornithopods from 10-27 ft long including Camptosaurus, Dracorex and Amurosaurus. Sauropodmorphs, small sauropods and even smaller theropods are not excluded from the menu. When the pair have no babies, they might gang up to try to tackle medium sized sauropods(around 50 ft,lol if they tried to take on a giant one they would get squashed XD) or larger hadrosaur species. Eocarcharia are definately a dinosaur you want to treat with caution and respect.
Rhabdodon septimanicus
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Sandy Brown, with small black stripes. The nasal area is orange in color.
Diet: Flowers, Grasses, Fruits, Nuts, Washed up Marine animals, and clams.
Islands: Kayornis, Two small Islands, Destro, Kellor. Reported sightings may hint it may also be on Serins and Trocilan.
An adaptable beach combing ornithopod, Rhabdodon is an excelleant swimmer. They are capable of crossing shallow channels at ease, though small mosasaurs and larger sharks may try to take a bite of them sometimes. These animals live in many coastal habitats including beaches and mangrove forests. Many of the foliage here is low in nutrients, therefore Rhabdodon eats non plant foods at times. They will eat dead marine life, mollusks, and there are even a few reports of them actively hunting and eating small dinosaurs and pterosaurs. These species of Rhabdodn live in medium sized groups of about 15-30. During breeding season males develop quills at their tails(for some reason other related dinosaurs like Iguanodon dont develop this, this has left Biovida scientists baffled). Males stake out a piece of beach for themselves and mate with any female that comes into their territory. There are some "feminane" males who dont develop these quills and look like females...this allows them to sneak in and mate with females without the alpha male noticing.
Oviraptor philoceratops
Size: 6 ft long
Appearance: Grey with white outlining on arm feathers. Males have a dark blue patch on the arm feathers. The head has some fleashy wattles and a throat pouch which is red and inflatted during breeding season.
Diet: Lizards, Small Mammals, Fruit, Insects.
Islands: Trocilan, Destro
When first cloned by Biovida, the scientists expected a egg stealing dinosaur that would make a heavy dent in the dinosaur population. However this so called egg snatcher is not a relentless egg snatcher at all. These animals live as small adaptable omnivorous theropods that live in open floodplains and scrub forests. Both genders live their lives solitarily, only gathering up in colonies when nesting. Females nest in the densest part of the scrub forests in small groups, brooding their eggs with their long arm feathers. Males take no part in rearing at all, and have been known to eat Oviraptor chicks. The young follow their mothers around like how a baby chickens follow their mothers. Many predators like to make fast little KFC snacks out ot the babies. To deal with the threats, female barf out a potent gooey substance that they store in their pouch. The substance causes extreme discomfort to the eyes and other sensitive parts of the body, as a few Biovida workers found out the hard way. The adults feed upon many different edible substances including lizards, small mammals, dinosaur chicks, nuts(their jaws are perfect for cracking nuts) fruit, snails, and even bark.
Rebbachisaurus garasbae
Size: 68 ft long(Destro individuals are 74 ft long)
Appearance: Brown color with Black banded tail.
Diet: Leaves, Grasses, Ferns
Islands: Serins, Destro
A medium sized sauropod, Rebbachisaurus spends most of the day eating. These dinosaurs live in small groups on the floodplains and open grasslands. Rebbachisaurus communicate like elephants and most other sauropods with low frequency grumbles and bellows. The Rebbachisaurus on Isla Destro are slightly larger then those on Isla Serins. The Biovida scientists assume that the two are diiferent subspecies, though more research is being put into this mystery. Smaller herbivores will often hang around large sauropods like Rebbachisaurus, as few carnivores will approach these giant animals. Females lay large batches of eggs in dug up holes, leaving the eggs to incubate. The young like other sauropods when they hatch are actually part carnivores eating insects and small lizards. The babies live in young creches until they are old enough to join the herd.
Futalognkosaurus dukei
Size: 120 ft long
Appearance: Grey in color. Small black dorsal stripes
Diet: Leaves, Cycads, Ferns
Islands: Serins, Destro, Kellor
These animals were nicknamed "Thunder Titans" when being observed by Biovida scientists, due to the fact Futalognkosaurus is just plain Huge!!! These animals spend most of the day like other sauropods, eating. Their great size allows these titanosaurs to reach the tree tops of even the largest trees. Another added benefit is that their immense size protects them from predators...though a report in November 2012 described a mated pair of Giganotsaurus attacking a 85 ft long subadult..the pair managed to bring the subadult down after 8 hours of biting and slashing the neck and sides. Full grown adults fear absoulutly nothing at all..infact they are inquesitive of people going up to the research jeeps...even though one time an adult accidentaly stepped and smashed the hood of one the jeeps. These animals have very slow reproductive cycles, likely due to the fact that if there were too many Futalognkosaurus the lowlands of the islands would be stripped bare of vegatation.
Masiakasaurus knopfleri
Size: 6 ft long
Appearance: Dark Green Protofeathers...Grey bands on tail with orange pouch under chin.
Diet: Fish, Carrion, Lizards
Islands: Kellor, Destro, Trocilan
When first cloned by Biovida, Masiakasaurus were expected to be insect eaters due to the fact scientists thought that their teeth would be useful for catching insects. However, after watching the animals for a while, Kasiakasaurus were found out to mainly be piscivores or fish eaters. Their spear like teeth are perfect for impaling small fish. Masiakasaurus are found in all hunting in all types habitats with water....salt marshes, rivers, lakes, mangroves, and swamps. To avoid competing with larger fish eaters such as Austroraptor and Baryonx, Masiakasaurus target fish species about 6 inches to 1 foot in legnth. They also supplement their diet with slugs, lizards, carrion, dinosaur chicks and they will even eat a type of fruit on rare occasions. These theropods are adapt divers, capable of searching for fish underwater for about 3 minutes. Breeding season takes place during June and July..when males make pair up with one female and stay with her till the eggs hatch. The nest is most ofternly made in thick reed beds, where the female stays sitting and guarding her eggs none stop for months. When the babies hatch, the mother keeps them at the next for a few days till she brings them to a small well hidden stream or creek, where she teaches them how to fish.
Dolichorhynchops osborni
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Light Grey with Dark Blue Gray upper body
Diet: Fish, Squid, Ammonites
Islands: Coastal and Reef Waters
This was the first cloned marine repitle by Biovida...Ingen cloned a few but not to the extent of that of Biovida. A medium sized plesiosaur, Dolichorhynchops lives in the shallow water inlets between the islands such as the kelp forests, sea grass beds, or the vibrant Vida Reef. These plesiousaurs live in medium sized groups of about 20 adults with young. Dolichorhynchops actively pursue fish,squid, ammonites, belomites(both are extinct squid like creatures cloned by Biovida), and even small sharks. These animals are quite playful in habits, even though they have the frightining appearance of the open ocean pliosaurs. The most common predators are small moasaurs and large sharks such as tiger sharks, though when they occassionly go out to open ocean huge pliosaurs and moasaurus will take them. When dealing with smaller predators, the Dolichorhynchops will ram the enemy with their snouts and bite at the fins or flippers.
Postosuchus kirkpatricki
Size: 15 ft long
Appearance: Dark Red Brown Back area...dark brown tan bottom region(Like the one from WWD)
Diet: Dinosaurs, Carrion
Islands: Kellor, Kayornis, Destro, Trocilan
When Biovida had plans to clone prehistoric Trassic archosaurs, Postosuchus came to mind. These large land living crocodile like predators are silent and stealthy ambush predators that live in Scrub Forests and Denser Parts of the Jungle. Postosuchus hide along game trails waiting for unwary animals to walk along the path, they may take flightless birds, dinosaurs like Falacarius and Hypsilophodon, and other archosaurs. Postosuchus have immensly powerful jaws, able to crush a Hypsilophodon nearly in half, and aim for the belly or neck. These animals have a locking mechanism which means that once they get something in their jaws it is as good as dead. These animals are solitary, only gathering up at a large carcass. During mating season males search out females in their territory. Mating is breif with the male quickly leaving. After a several month gestation period, the female lays her eggs in a large mound of debris like a crocodile. Unlike a crocodile however, when the babies hatch they have to fend for themselves. When they hatch and get into the jungle they root through the leaf litter in search of centipedes and lizards to eat. However, predators even other Postosuchus will make snacks out of the youngsters.
Koolasuchus cleelandi
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Dark Black all over.
Diet: Fish, Shellfish, Turtles
Islands: Trocilan, Serins, Kayornis
This is the largest prehistoric amphibian to be cloned by Biovida, these sluggish giant pancake head salamanders live most of their life in the streams and rivers in the Montane Forest region to avoid competition with crocodiles in the lowlands. The scientists...who were watching Walking with Dinosaurs...expected an active dinosaur eating predator...only to have a sluggish, lazy fish eater instead. These animals prefer slow moving prey such as crayfish, bottom dwelling fish and freshwater clams, which they suck in their mouths and crush the shell. Dinosaurs dont seem to be on the menu...though a reports of a Koolashcuhus of eating already dead dinosaurs are not disputed. These animals are rare..like most other montane forest dwellers. Mating is simple in Koolashcuhus with the male fertilizing the eggs as the female lays them. The eggs are sticky and are laid on a large branch so they cant get swept away. The eggs are eaten by turtles, crayfish(revenge!) and even Limusaurus and upland ornithomimasaurs who will gooble up the tasty eggs. If the tadepoles make it...they spend the majority of their time avoding predators and eating the larve of bugs or small fishes as they are more active then their adult counter parts...
Gigantspinosaurus sichuanensis
Size:12 ft long
Appearance: Light Green lower region with Darker green back area. Nasal sacs are orange.
Diet: Low lying grasses, ferns, flowers, cycads.
Islands: Kayornis, Serins, Trocilan
Another Montane Forest dwelling stegosaur, despite its name Gigantspinosaurus is one of the smaller stegosaur species. These animals are one of the more common montane forest dwelling stegosaurs living in small groups of 6-9 individuals. They are noisy stegosaurs making loud stomach rumbles and bellows. Food items are low lying ferns, cycads, flowers, and fruti...but they will at times rear up on their hindlegs to reach higher up foliage...though the long necked Miragaia is the main higher level foliage eater. Gigantspinosaurus are very aggresive toward humans, one researcher almost got impaled by the Gigantspinosaurus's thagomizer that he had startled. These animals have few threats due to the fact most predators large enough to take them down are in the lowland plains and jungles. Males are extremly aggresive, attacking harmless animals with their thagomizer. Males search for herds of females and mate with whatever ones are ready to be fertizilized. Gigantspinosaurus have huge shoulder blade spikes, in which males ram these spikes against eachother in bloody battles in which at times they have been recorded to stab each other to death. Eggs are laid in a hole in the ground covered up with leaves and debris. When the babies hatch they search out the nearest herd to join...even though the herd may not have their mother in it.
Comments are appreciated....
However Jason Webster decided to make a new company. He purchased 5 islands, and was determined to have 100% pure dinosaurs roaming these islands. Located in the South Pacific, these islands were the perfect home for the prehistoric inhabitants.
Timeline:
Isla Sorna Incident: July 2001
The Kirbys along with the famous Alan Grant and few others go to Isla Sorna to retrieve the Kirbys son, Eric......some loses of life and Eric's story causes the family of the killed to sue Ingen.
The Announcment: October 2001
A few weeks after 9-11, the United States government reveals on the news that they are debating with the Costa Rican Government wheter Isla Sorna should be bombed to prevent more fatalies.
The Mass Protests: October 2001-November 2003
Hundreds of thousands of animal rights groups and Eco terrorists march on capitol hill to try to stop Sorna's bombing after the news reveals that Sorna will inded be bombed in Late 2003 or Early 2004.
More Incidents: December 2003
Animal Rights groups secretly try to "save" the animals on Sorna. All of them are killed except for one. More law suits against Ingen occur..... Ingen is on its knees.
The Bombing: June 14 2004
Isla Sorna is nuked to the point where nothing survives. Ingen secretly hands over a device to a novice scientist, Jason Webster. This device clones pure 100% animals without the need of filling in gaps. Jason Webster secretly buys a group of Islands in the Tropical South Pacific along with some Ingen employes. The company becomes known as "Biovida." Outrage sparks even larger protests in D.C. by animal rights groups. The groups kill an officer and severly injure some law makers.
The Fall of a Giant: November 14, 2004
Ingen finally falls and collapses from the suings and destruction of their investment. Many of the workers head secretly to Biovida. The world goes back to the way it was before Ingen.
The First Cloned: January 15, 2005
Biovida clones 3 Eotriceratops. The babies reveal that ceratopsians were omnivores and had quills to Biovida without the main stream paleotologists knowing till the discovery of a quilled Psittacosaurus in 2006. Intensive research is done to how the animals do on Isla Kellor. The animals pass and thrive greatly.
Cloning Spree: October 2005-March 2011
Biovida clones many prehistoric animal species.
Slowing down: March 2011-March 2013
Biovida is still cloning but at a slower pace. Animals doing excellent in their new habitats.
Going out: March 2013
Biovida employees head to Australia(the islands are "close" to Australia....if you call 1200 miles close!). They keep all information secret.
The Isla Serins Incident: June 2014
?
Coming back: July 2014
Biovida employees come back to the islands...only to find the wreck of the Isla Serins incident and many many dead bodies of people. Animals still doing great.
You are reading Biovida as it is: 2017.......
Map of the Islands:
https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/i/biovidaislandswithwater.jpg/
Islands Geography:
The Islands of Bio Vida started out more than 20 million years ago as a result of volcanic activity. With rich volcanic soil a variety of plants grew. No mammal larger than a rabbit evolved. Birds reached large sizes some 2 million years ago, including a large 7 ft tall moa like bird as well as large flightless herons, ducks, and owls. However the large birds went extinct some 10,000 years ago, possibly as a result of climate change as there is no evidence that humans ever reached the islands. Lying in the warm and clear water, coral reefs surround the islands. The reason why the islands may not have been discovered by human explorers is that the coral reefs would have made the ships crash. It was not until 2004 that the islands were discovered by Bio Vida.
Islands themselves and where they stand:
Isla Kayornis:
The southen most island, Isla Kayornis, lies to the west of a large trench that goes down some 27,000 ft. Isla Kayornis, has a bay which hosts a large sea grass plain. Sea Turtles and rays frequent these areas as the turtles munch on the sea grass while the rays feed on small crustaceans in the sand. Miles out to the east, there is open ocean where sea reptiles hang out, waiting and lurking for potential meals. At the Northwest end of Isla Kayornis, is a large extinct volcano which nearly is 19,000 ft at its tallest heigh. Kayornis has many species of small-medium sized dinosaurs, large dinosaurs are not as common here.
Isla Destro:
Isla Destro is home to a vast variety of dinosaurs, some only found on this island. In the Southeast section, there is a large swamp. Here one could find animals including fish eating theropods such as Baryonx or Austroraptor. The floodplain to the north of the swamp is home to animals such as Deltadromeus and Ouranosaurus. Isla Destro is possibly the most recent island to have formed, estimates date it at about 8 million years old. A shallow channel that is about 10 ft deep seperates Isla Kellor and Isla Destro, meaning that some animals can cross between islands. The shallow channel is considered an underwater desert, with nothing but maybe the occasional hermit crab sccurring by.
Isla Serins:
Isla Serins has the most species of the Bio Vida Islands. Dinosaurs here include Edmontosaurus, Allosaurus, Edmontonia, Yinlong, Shixinggia, Futalognkosaurus, and Rebbachisaurus as well as coutnless others. Pterosaurs such as Quetzalcoatlus fly up above as unchallenged lords of the sky. In the North Central part of the island monatane forest is common, home to a bunch of unique species such as Beishanlong. With the mountains holding moisture away from the north, the northern part of Isla Serins is home to Temperate Rain Forest similar to those found on Southeast side of Isla Sorna. To the west between Isla Trocilan and going up north past Isla Kellor is a beautiful and gigantic coral reef, home to many species of fish and invertabrate. Infact there are so many species that this reef alone may have as many species as those found on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Smaller species of moasaur and other sea reptile live here, feeding on the ocean bounty and hiding away from their larger relatives out in the deep.
Isla Kellor:
Home to the infamous and deadly Blue Tail Allosaurus, Isla Kellor is the oldest of the islands. This island is possibly the most dangerous island. The large predators here include the Blue Tail Allosaurus, "Normal" Allosaurus, Tyrannotitan, and Acrocanthosaurus. Vast herds of Sauropods and Hadrosaurs graze the plains on watch out for threats. The coral reef here is the same as the one that runs up from Isla Serins, and is home to many species,(the reef curves up to the east end, the west end is the shallow channel. This island is where Bio Vida released their first cloned dinosaurs, 3 Eotriceratops.
Isla Trocilan:
Isla Trocilan has the second most species of prehistoric animal, only losing to Isla Serins by a small margin. Only a few miles to the southeast of the island is open ocean. The west side has the "Vida Reef". This island has many habitats including open grasslands, scrub forests, thick rainforests, and a mountain range in the center. Isla Trocilan has two small islands on the Northwest end between itself and Isla Destro. The islands only have a few very small dinosaur species, but the reef that surronds the island is home to many smaller sea reptiles as well as fish eating pterosaur breeding colonies.
Water Depth Map: https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/i/biovidaislandswithoutwa.jpg/
Allosaurus fragilis
Size: 39.4 ft long
Apperance: medium brown color with orangish-red crest. They have light brown stipes along the back.
Diet: other dinosaurs mostly small sauropods and carrion
Islands: Isla Serins, Isla Destro, Isla Trocilan, Isla Kellor
This pack hunting carnivore has an taste for sauropods, this adaptable theropod is found on all but one of the islands. These are actually timid carnivores unless if they are starving or if you make them angry. The killing tatic however is not so timid, they jump onto sauropods hindquarters using their razor sharp claws and teeth to let the prey bleed to death gradually. However they have a different killing tatic when dealing with prey like stegosaurs and ankylosaurs, one Allosaur will distract the prey while the allo behind the prey goes in for the killing bite. These dinosaurs inhabit jungle bordering the open plains. However there is a smaller, unknown allosaurus specie that lives on Isla Kellor that is extremely aggressive and territorial. These ones are medium brown with orangish crest like the others but the have black stripes and a blue tipped tail. Even though are 27 ft long, they will take on other carnivores even the other allosaur species though they are most often ripped to shreads. They are pack hunters however like their bigger relatives but they take more ornithopods and hunt in river valleys at night time. The bigger allosaurus are more caring parents than the smaller ones who seem to eat their own young at times.
Breeding is not restricted to the Alpha pair. Young Allosaurs are born into the same heirarchy as their parents. They are guarded by a low ranking adult and are brought food via their parents. The smaller species are much more mindless when caring for young, often times they just simply leave the young alone to fend for themselves while hunting. In both species males do elaborate dances to impress the females with the males crests blushing bright red.
Hypacrosaurus stebingeri
Size: 32.8 ft long
Appearance: Light Brown, Large Back hump is reddish brown in color, belly is grey, large nasal sacs near nose are reddish orange with a black Tipped Tail Head Crest is light red.
Diet: Ferns, Cycads, Grasses, Fruit
Islands: Isla Destro, Isla Serins, Isla Trocilan
A medium sized Lambeosaurine, Hypacrosaurus is one of the more common large herbivores of Bio Vida. Living in herds of about 30 female adults, they keep in touch with bellows and honks, which are produced with their helmet shaped head crest. These animals are found in lowland open plains where they can be found mingling with other herivorous dinosaur species. During breeding season males get extremly rowdy and active, moving solitarly from herd to herd searching for females ready for mating. With their nasal sac blushed bright red and making loud bellows, males loose all intrests except for the intrest of love. The breeding season occurs during July-September, when most females are ready for mating. When the mating season ends, males join small bachelour groups. The beaten up males make prime targets for hungry predators and many males at the end of rutting meet death in the form of claws or teeth.
Hypacrosaurus females have evolved a clever tactic in order to hide their eggs from mischevious egg snatchers. They lay their eggs right in between the dry and wet season. They journey to sandbars and lay their eggs in dug out pits with vegatation on top of the nests. Within a few days the river levels rises effectively keeps the eggs on the still dry high up sand bars. Almost none of the predators around the river area are egg eaters and they more inland predators have easier meal else where. The females who laid eggs, stay within a mile radius of the eggs, returning to when they hear their babies calls.
Austroraptor cabazai
Size: 16 ft long
Appearence: Rather drab. Light tawny brown in color(like the one in our members Austroraptor banner and avatar)
Diet: Fish, mostly a species of large freshwater trout. Small Dinosaurs as well as carrion.
Islands: Isla Destro and Isla Kayornis
A rare dromeosaur, Austroraptor is incredibly secretive and shy. This rather dull colored dinosaurs spend most of their time by the islands inland water ways. This animal is a devoted fisherman, unlike its dinosaur eating relatives. Specialized eyes reduce the glare from water, and this animals jaws are strong enough to pull up 3 ft long fish. Males and females mate for life, and share a territory. These territories are small, only about a few acres. Austroraptor group up when their favorite food, a specie of trout, makes it way inland to spawn. This animals pick their favorite feeding spot and simply wait. Growls and snaps are quick ways to solve conflict and to focus on the matter of fishing. Young Austroraptor are brought to rivers and swamps when their first born by their mother. Here they eat small fish and insects. These animals have few enimies, this is due to the fact they barf up partly digested fish at would be predators. This gives them almost care free lives, however on Destro; Allosaurus can kill them, mostly due to the fact they hunt in packs.
Dilong paradoxus
Size: 6 ft long
Appearance: Black with White bands on tail. Arm feathers are reddish for display.
Diet: Small dinosaurs including small ceratopsians and ornithopods. Lizards and carrion are also taken.
Islands: Trocilan, Kayornis
Dilong is the granddaddy to Ingen's famous Tyrannosaurus Rex. Dilong's haunting calls echo threw the night. These theropods are nearly 100% nocturnal doing just about all their activities during the cover of darkness. The rest in hollow tree stumps and burrows dug by other animals, waiting till the sun goes down. These animals hunt in small packs usually about 4 adults. Prey items are usually lept on via the back and bit down on the neck. There appears to be no coordinated pack hunting between Dilong, just animals going after the simple interest of food. Dilong are found in the upland Montane Forest, thought they may make occasional excurions to the lower jungle. During courtship, male Dilong making loud hooting sounds similar to that of an owl. The white bands on the tails of the male turn red as well as the arm feathers. Males fight in which they snap at eachother legs, but interestingly they never bite each other. This would appear that this is acctually a ritual instead of a fight. This just goes to show how birdlike these dinosaurs are.
Falcarius utahensis
Size: 13 ft long
Appearance: Body is dark greyish black in color, while the neck and tail are white.
Diet: Leaves, Fruit, Small Animals
Islands: Trocilan, Kellor, Kayornis
The most primitive Therizinosaur, Falcarius is more agile than its stumpier beer gut relatives. Living in flocks of 10-20 adults, these animals live by river areas of the islands. These animals arent picky eaters and will munch away on fruit, leaves, insects, and small animals such as frogs. The herd structure is more like that of an ornithomimasaur, with a sentry or two always on alert for potential threats. Males do dances in front of females with the males clacking his beak and bobbing his head rapidly, the female mimicks his dance. After he gestation period, the female lays about 10-15 eggs in a mound of dirt and rotting leaves. She is just slightly too big to sit on them, so she watches them without food for a few months. When the babies hatch, she leads them back to the herd. Young a prime targets for any predator, especially the ground searcher pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus, who is happy to fill his belly with young dinosaurs.
Archaeopteryx lithographica
Size: 1.6 ft long
Apperance: Red, Black bands through tail. Orange wattles under eyes. Yellowish beak area.
Diet: Insects, Small Lizards
Islands: All
A missing link dinosaur, this common maniraptorian is found on all the islands as well as on the small islands located on the Bio Vida Reef. Archaeopteryx is very colorful, with a scarlet red body. This shows that these animals are indeed like birds of today and shows that birds are dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx are lousy fliers and are not that good at hunting prey on the wing, instead they forage through the leaf litter in search of a meal. Males have elaborate chirps and squeals that echo through the jungle, hoping that a female is in audible range. The male then leaves the female after mating for good. Females build their nests in trees like mosr birds of today and this added benefit keeps them safe from egg snatchers on the ground. The young are well developed when born most of todays birds. However the young are still nest bound and wait for their mother to bring them back food. After a few months, the youngsters try their wings out and try to fly. The youngsters are very uncoordinated and clumsy which could lead to disatorous reults such as running into trees. Small predators such as Mei will often wait by Archaeopteryx nests for a misfortunate youngster to fall in midflight.
Leaellynasaura amicagraphica
Size: 3 ft long
Appearance: Light Brown Protofeathers, Black eyes masks. Orange Tipped Tail
Diet: Mosses, Lichens.
Islands: Only around extinct Volcano on Isla Kayornis
Possibly one of the rarest ornithopods, Leaellynasaurua scrapes out a living where few other dinosaurs would dare. Found right at only around the extinct volcano on the Northwest end of Kayornis, this is the only sutiable haibitat for this cold weather dinosaur. Covered in Protofeathers or fuzz, this helps little Leaellynasaura keep warm above 10,000 ft, which is the place where it lives on the volcano. The other parts of the island where too hot for Leaellynasaura and competition from other herbivores kept them away. Only about 50 or so Leaellynasaura are left, but the population is stable. They feed on just about anything edible, such as mosses, lichens, and even like a rare treat, birds. Not much is known about their breeding habits, but Biovida researchers can assume that they are like most other ornithopods in their breeding habits.
Sordes pilosus
Wingspan: 2 ft
Appearance: light grey with red bill. Black banded tail.
Diet: Insects and small animal such as frogs.
Islands: All
A small common pterosaur, Sordes is commonly seen during the Afternoon, when it eats insects and small animals. Resting in hollow tree during the midday, these animals live in flocks and live like reptilian bats. Sordes are most common in the lowland jungles bordering the plains, where they eat insects kicked up by dinosaurs, and will even eat flies on the dinosaurs sort of like an oxpecker bird of the African plains. Females with young nest in large nesting communties up on the upland-jungle borders. Predators such as Mei or Dilong often times wont go up near the upland borders, most likely they have prey in the lowlands where they live. On Kayornis, Leaellynasaura will munch on the eggs and chicks and arent heistant to take an unwary adult. However chicks throw up a sickening foul gloop at eniemies, usually aimed at the attackes eyes or nose.
Tanystropheus longobardicus
Size: 20 ft long
Appearance: light sandy brown in color, with a orange tipped tail. Belly is very light sandy brown.
Diet: Fish, Squid
Islands: The two small Islands in the Biovida Reef
With its long neck and aquatic habitats, Tanystropheus is the perfect fisherman reptile. The population lives on two small Islands on the Biovida Reef, where prey is abundant. These animals most often lie on rocks a few feet off the shoreline and uses its 10 ft long neck to trap fish. On occasion, these animals head toward to the vibrant reef for an all you can eat buffet. These animals can deliever painful bites if attacked, and almost if they have had an anatomy leason, wont hesitate to bite you where it hurts most. Females lay their eggs like sea turtles in the sand and leave them to hatch by themselves. With only one specie of predatory theropod on the two islands, the eggs are mostly safe. However when the eggs hatch birds and pterosaurs will gather around to snap up the youngsters heading for the water. In only a few feet of water, sharks and fish wait to eat the ones who made it to the water.
Dracorex Hogwartsia
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Light brown with Dark green strips, Redish head area. Quills are blue tipped.
Diet: Seeds, Fruit, Insects, Carrion
Islands: Kayornis, Trocilan, Serins, Destro
Dracorex is one of the first dinosaurs ever cloned by Biovida. These dinosaurs are most common at dusk or dawn, when they go into the lowland plains to forage. Their haunting hooting calls are like that of an owls, and this is assumed that is how they keep in touch. They forage in small groups for seeds, ferns, fruit, and insects. They arent picky eaters like their relatives and will happily munch on carrion or lizards. They are infamous for their ear deafeaning screm when they are handled or attacked, and this often startles a predator so much that even large predators such as Allosaurus run away in confusion and fear. They have sharp quills that offer protection if biten in the back, though the scream keeps them safe. The only animal that can kill them with ease is the theropod Eocarcharia, which ambushes them and servers the Dracorexes head off so quickly that the Dracorex does not have time to respond. However, Eocarharia is only found on Isla Serins, meaning that on the other islands Dracorex is mostly safe.
Confuciusornis sanctus
Size(wingspan): 2.3 ft
Appearance: Red feathered head. Black wings with greyish white under belly. Body is a light greenish in color with two long tail feathers red in color and with a Black spot in the center.
Diet: Seeds, Fruit, Insects.
Islands: All
A common small primitive bird, Confuciusornis is a noisy little animal. Its clucking and chirping calls can be heard throughout the early morning hours and late afternoon. These birds live in small flocks consiting of 5-12 individuals. They forage during the morning on the ground or lower tree levels for seeds, fruit and insects. They will often sit lazily on a perch waiting for a group of larger animals to pass throught the area. With all the dirt kicked up from larger animals, insects are exposed to hungry animals. Confuciusornis then goes down to gobble up the insects along with other dinosaurs. Mating season takes place during March and is when Males do elaborate displays with their two long tail feathers, strutting and singing to impress females around them. After the gestation period the females makes a nest on the lower canopy area made of sticks and rotting leaves. She leaves her brood a while to gather food or more nest supplies. The babies are well developed at birth, and leave their mother at an early age. The young search for a flock of Confuciusornis to join, however they have many small predators who would like to make a little drumstick snack out of the juvinile Confuciusornis.
Miragaia longicollum
Length: 11 ft long
Appearance: Tiger orange in color with black stripes, a few dark green tail stripes as well as orange nasal sacks
Diet: Ferns, Horsetails, Roots, Cycads.
Islands: Serins, Kayornis, Destro
A small long necked stegosaur, Miragaia is a solitary dinosaur that lives in the upper montane forest regions of the islands. Miragaia's eat ferns, horsetails, cycads, roots, and fruit. The only time that Miragaias come together is during the breeding season which happens during December and January. Males plates flush bright red and make loud stomach rumbles to impress the females. Fights rarely break out, due to the fact a Miragaia are one of the more peaceful stegosaurs. The female then lays a medium size batch of eggs into the ground, which sees covers up with vegatation and dirt. Within months the babies emerge from the nest and follow their mother. Miragaias have few threats, due to the fact few predators in the montane forest regions are big enough to threaten them. Small predators in the montane forest areas will take young given the chance, though the mother will put her thagomizer through them.
Giganotosaurus carolinii
Size: 43 ft long
Appearance: Brown with short yellow strips. Reddish crests.
Diet: Hadrosaurs, will happily tackle lone ceratopsians, stegosaurs, and small to medium sized sauropods.
Islands: Trocilan, Destro
One of the largest carnivores of Biovida, and one of the most dangerous as well, Giganotosaurus is a force to recken with. They are solitary for most of the year, only gathering up for mating which is breif and violent. The male will seek out a female in her territory, if he finds her he coxes and eases her with a few growls and submissive bowing. If she accepts him the two will hunt and eat together for a period of about 2 weeks. The female Giganotosaurus will then tire of the male and drive him away, if he is not fast enough to get out a fight could break out in which either the male or female kills one another. Territory infringement is like a unforgivable crime to a Giganotosaurus during the non mating period, with the territory owner not being satisfied until the intruder is dead. Fights between other predators are common, with most of the fights being between packs of Allosaurus. A pack of 5 Allosaurus were seen one time battaling a male Giganotosaurus, the allos kill the Giga though they lost 2 pack members with one being severly mauled. Young Giga's stick with their mothers for a few months, watching their mother hunt and bring food to them. The youngsters leave their mother when they are about 15 ft long. At this size this makes them targets for larger predators including other Giganotosaurus especially adult males.
Limusaurus inextricabilis
Size: 5 ft long
Appearance: Light Brown with Blue head and neck. Tail feathers are reddish and found only in breeding males.
Diet: Insects, Seeds, Fruit.
Isands: Kellor, Kayornis, Serins, Trocilan
A small little theropod dinosaur, Limusaurus is one of the rarest dinosaurs of Biovida. They are ornithomimasaur look a likes but are actually belong to a group of flesh eating predatory dinosaurs called Ceratosaurs. Living in pairs or small groups, these animals are extremly wary, ready to flee at the slightest sign of danger. They keep in touch with a cooing call like that of a pigeon, while a owl like hoot is used by males to locate his chicks. They will munch on just about anything small and edible, though they are fond of seeds and nuts. Females and Males pair during mating. When the babies hatch it is the male who watches them, the female leaves them permanatly. There are many threats in the lowland jungle where they live, so the chicks are well camoflagued to blend in with the ferns and trees. The male runs off yelping trying to lure a predators attention to himself instead of his kids. Competition from flightless birds and ornithomimasaurs has always keep Limusaur numbers low, though the population is stable.
Beishanlong grandis
Size: 20 ft long(I just guessed I am having trouble finding the legnth of it XD)
Apperance: White in color with apricot spots. Red throat pouch which is used as a food storeage device.
Diet: Fruit, Seeds, Insects, Ferns
Islands: Serins, Destro
A very large ornithomimasaur, second in size to that of Deinocherius, which has yet to be cloned. They are rather solitary animals, living alone or in pairs in their monatane forest habitat. Fruit is relished by this dinosaur, infact several species of fruit bearing trees and bushes rely on Beishanlong for seed depositing. They will also eat fungi, ferns, seeds, insects, and maybe catch a small mammal or lizard given the chance. They are quiet dinosaurs, only time they are relatively vocal is during mating season when males make a low booming sound with a inflated throat pouch. Like some other ornithomimasaur species and ratites of today, the males look after the babies while the females take no part what so ever in chick rearing. Beishanlong are common but rarely seen, most likely due to the fact they inhabit the dense humid Montane forest and dont live in groups or make vocalizations to give away their presence.
Eocarcharia Dinops
Size: 25 ft long
Appearance: Dark Brown with short black strips running down the back. Black eye mask. Reddish to orangish color crests.
Diet: Medium Sized Dinosaurs, will not hesistate to take smaller species or slightly larger animals, carrion.
Islands: Serins
A mini version of the more well known Carcharadontosaurus, Eocarcharia is none the less predatory and ferocious. Infact they even pose more of a threat to humans then their larger relatives, due to the fact humans would make more of a meal to an animal of 25 ft long than of 43 ft long. These carnosaurs are found in lowland floodplains and jungle borders, thought they make some excursions in the deep jungle at times. Eocarcharia's mate for life with a male and female occupying a territory together, only really meeting to mate and raise the chicks. Males grow purplish blue protofeathers on their backs to impress their mate and to make her more interested in mating. The males go out hunting while the female looks after the babies. The most common prey are ornithopods from 10-27 ft long including Camptosaurus, Dracorex and Amurosaurus. Sauropodmorphs, small sauropods and even smaller theropods are not excluded from the menu. When the pair have no babies, they might gang up to try to tackle medium sized sauropods(around 50 ft,lol if they tried to take on a giant one they would get squashed XD) or larger hadrosaur species. Eocarcharia are definately a dinosaur you want to treat with caution and respect.
Rhabdodon septimanicus
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Sandy Brown, with small black stripes. The nasal area is orange in color.
Diet: Flowers, Grasses, Fruits, Nuts, Washed up Marine animals, and clams.
Islands: Kayornis, Two small Islands, Destro, Kellor. Reported sightings may hint it may also be on Serins and Trocilan.
An adaptable beach combing ornithopod, Rhabdodon is an excelleant swimmer. They are capable of crossing shallow channels at ease, though small mosasaurs and larger sharks may try to take a bite of them sometimes. These animals live in many coastal habitats including beaches and mangrove forests. Many of the foliage here is low in nutrients, therefore Rhabdodon eats non plant foods at times. They will eat dead marine life, mollusks, and there are even a few reports of them actively hunting and eating small dinosaurs and pterosaurs. These species of Rhabdodn live in medium sized groups of about 15-30. During breeding season males develop quills at their tails(for some reason other related dinosaurs like Iguanodon dont develop this, this has left Biovida scientists baffled). Males stake out a piece of beach for themselves and mate with any female that comes into their territory. There are some "feminane" males who dont develop these quills and look like females...this allows them to sneak in and mate with females without the alpha male noticing.
Oviraptor philoceratops
Size: 6 ft long
Appearance: Grey with white outlining on arm feathers. Males have a dark blue patch on the arm feathers. The head has some fleashy wattles and a throat pouch which is red and inflatted during breeding season.
Diet: Lizards, Small Mammals, Fruit, Insects.
Islands: Trocilan, Destro
When first cloned by Biovida, the scientists expected a egg stealing dinosaur that would make a heavy dent in the dinosaur population. However this so called egg snatcher is not a relentless egg snatcher at all. These animals live as small adaptable omnivorous theropods that live in open floodplains and scrub forests. Both genders live their lives solitarily, only gathering up in colonies when nesting. Females nest in the densest part of the scrub forests in small groups, brooding their eggs with their long arm feathers. Males take no part in rearing at all, and have been known to eat Oviraptor chicks. The young follow their mothers around like how a baby chickens follow their mothers. Many predators like to make fast little KFC snacks out ot the babies. To deal with the threats, female barf out a potent gooey substance that they store in their pouch. The substance causes extreme discomfort to the eyes and other sensitive parts of the body, as a few Biovida workers found out the hard way. The adults feed upon many different edible substances including lizards, small mammals, dinosaur chicks, nuts(their jaws are perfect for cracking nuts) fruit, snails, and even bark.
Rebbachisaurus garasbae
Size: 68 ft long(Destro individuals are 74 ft long)
Appearance: Brown color with Black banded tail.
Diet: Leaves, Grasses, Ferns
Islands: Serins, Destro
A medium sized sauropod, Rebbachisaurus spends most of the day eating. These dinosaurs live in small groups on the floodplains and open grasslands. Rebbachisaurus communicate like elephants and most other sauropods with low frequency grumbles and bellows. The Rebbachisaurus on Isla Destro are slightly larger then those on Isla Serins. The Biovida scientists assume that the two are diiferent subspecies, though more research is being put into this mystery. Smaller herbivores will often hang around large sauropods like Rebbachisaurus, as few carnivores will approach these giant animals. Females lay large batches of eggs in dug up holes, leaving the eggs to incubate. The young like other sauropods when they hatch are actually part carnivores eating insects and small lizards. The babies live in young creches until they are old enough to join the herd.
Futalognkosaurus dukei
Size: 120 ft long
Appearance: Grey in color. Small black dorsal stripes
Diet: Leaves, Cycads, Ferns
Islands: Serins, Destro, Kellor
These animals were nicknamed "Thunder Titans" when being observed by Biovida scientists, due to the fact Futalognkosaurus is just plain Huge!!! These animals spend most of the day like other sauropods, eating. Their great size allows these titanosaurs to reach the tree tops of even the largest trees. Another added benefit is that their immense size protects them from predators...though a report in November 2012 described a mated pair of Giganotsaurus attacking a 85 ft long subadult..the pair managed to bring the subadult down after 8 hours of biting and slashing the neck and sides. Full grown adults fear absoulutly nothing at all..infact they are inquesitive of people going up to the research jeeps...even though one time an adult accidentaly stepped and smashed the hood of one the jeeps. These animals have very slow reproductive cycles, likely due to the fact that if there were too many Futalognkosaurus the lowlands of the islands would be stripped bare of vegatation.
Masiakasaurus knopfleri
Size: 6 ft long
Appearance: Dark Green Protofeathers...Grey bands on tail with orange pouch under chin.
Diet: Fish, Carrion, Lizards
Islands: Kellor, Destro, Trocilan
When first cloned by Biovida, Masiakasaurus were expected to be insect eaters due to the fact scientists thought that their teeth would be useful for catching insects. However, after watching the animals for a while, Kasiakasaurus were found out to mainly be piscivores or fish eaters. Their spear like teeth are perfect for impaling small fish. Masiakasaurus are found in all hunting in all types habitats with water....salt marshes, rivers, lakes, mangroves, and swamps. To avoid competing with larger fish eaters such as Austroraptor and Baryonx, Masiakasaurus target fish species about 6 inches to 1 foot in legnth. They also supplement their diet with slugs, lizards, carrion, dinosaur chicks and they will even eat a type of fruit on rare occasions. These theropods are adapt divers, capable of searching for fish underwater for about 3 minutes. Breeding season takes place during June and July..when males make pair up with one female and stay with her till the eggs hatch. The nest is most ofternly made in thick reed beds, where the female stays sitting and guarding her eggs none stop for months. When the babies hatch, the mother keeps them at the next for a few days till she brings them to a small well hidden stream or creek, where she teaches them how to fish.
Dolichorhynchops osborni
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Light Grey with Dark Blue Gray upper body
Diet: Fish, Squid, Ammonites
Islands: Coastal and Reef Waters
This was the first cloned marine repitle by Biovida...Ingen cloned a few but not to the extent of that of Biovida. A medium sized plesiosaur, Dolichorhynchops lives in the shallow water inlets between the islands such as the kelp forests, sea grass beds, or the vibrant Vida Reef. These plesiousaurs live in medium sized groups of about 20 adults with young. Dolichorhynchops actively pursue fish,squid, ammonites, belomites(both are extinct squid like creatures cloned by Biovida), and even small sharks. These animals are quite playful in habits, even though they have the frightining appearance of the open ocean pliosaurs. The most common predators are small moasaurs and large sharks such as tiger sharks, though when they occassionly go out to open ocean huge pliosaurs and moasaurus will take them. When dealing with smaller predators, the Dolichorhynchops will ram the enemy with their snouts and bite at the fins or flippers.
Postosuchus kirkpatricki
Size: 15 ft long
Appearance: Dark Red Brown Back area...dark brown tan bottom region(Like the one from WWD)
Diet: Dinosaurs, Carrion
Islands: Kellor, Kayornis, Destro, Trocilan
When Biovida had plans to clone prehistoric Trassic archosaurs, Postosuchus came to mind. These large land living crocodile like predators are silent and stealthy ambush predators that live in Scrub Forests and Denser Parts of the Jungle. Postosuchus hide along game trails waiting for unwary animals to walk along the path, they may take flightless birds, dinosaurs like Falacarius and Hypsilophodon, and other archosaurs. Postosuchus have immensly powerful jaws, able to crush a Hypsilophodon nearly in half, and aim for the belly or neck. These animals have a locking mechanism which means that once they get something in their jaws it is as good as dead. These animals are solitary, only gathering up at a large carcass. During mating season males search out females in their territory. Mating is breif with the male quickly leaving. After a several month gestation period, the female lays her eggs in a large mound of debris like a crocodile. Unlike a crocodile however, when the babies hatch they have to fend for themselves. When they hatch and get into the jungle they root through the leaf litter in search of centipedes and lizards to eat. However, predators even other Postosuchus will make snacks out of the youngsters.
Koolasuchus cleelandi
Size: 10 ft long
Appearance: Dark Black all over.
Diet: Fish, Shellfish, Turtles
Islands: Trocilan, Serins, Kayornis
This is the largest prehistoric amphibian to be cloned by Biovida, these sluggish giant pancake head salamanders live most of their life in the streams and rivers in the Montane Forest region to avoid competition with crocodiles in the lowlands. The scientists...who were watching Walking with Dinosaurs...expected an active dinosaur eating predator...only to have a sluggish, lazy fish eater instead. These animals prefer slow moving prey such as crayfish, bottom dwelling fish and freshwater clams, which they suck in their mouths and crush the shell. Dinosaurs dont seem to be on the menu...though a reports of a Koolashcuhus of eating already dead dinosaurs are not disputed. These animals are rare..like most other montane forest dwellers. Mating is simple in Koolashcuhus with the male fertilizing the eggs as the female lays them. The eggs are sticky and are laid on a large branch so they cant get swept away. The eggs are eaten by turtles, crayfish(revenge!) and even Limusaurus and upland ornithomimasaurs who will gooble up the tasty eggs. If the tadepoles make it...they spend the majority of their time avoding predators and eating the larve of bugs or small fishes as they are more active then their adult counter parts...
Gigantspinosaurus sichuanensis
Size:12 ft long
Appearance: Light Green lower region with Darker green back area. Nasal sacs are orange.
Diet: Low lying grasses, ferns, flowers, cycads.
Islands: Kayornis, Serins, Trocilan
Another Montane Forest dwelling stegosaur, despite its name Gigantspinosaurus is one of the smaller stegosaur species. These animals are one of the more common montane forest dwelling stegosaurs living in small groups of 6-9 individuals. They are noisy stegosaurs making loud stomach rumbles and bellows. Food items are low lying ferns, cycads, flowers, and fruti...but they will at times rear up on their hindlegs to reach higher up foliage...though the long necked Miragaia is the main higher level foliage eater. Gigantspinosaurus are very aggresive toward humans, one researcher almost got impaled by the Gigantspinosaurus's thagomizer that he had startled. These animals have few threats due to the fact most predators large enough to take them down are in the lowland plains and jungles. Males are extremly aggresive, attacking harmless animals with their thagomizer. Males search for herds of females and mate with whatever ones are ready to be fertizilized. Gigantspinosaurus have huge shoulder blade spikes, in which males ram these spikes against eachother in bloody battles in which at times they have been recorded to stab each other to death. Eggs are laid in a hole in the ground covered up with leaves and debris. When the babies hatch they search out the nearest herd to join...even though the herd may not have their mother in it.

Heres the coastal chicken.....
Compsognathus longipes
Size: 3 ft long
Appearance: Light Brown protfeather body with white banded tail. Red wattles on face.
Diet: Washed up Marine Life, Small Crabs, Dinosaur Eggs
Islands: All Including the two small islands located on the Vida Reef.
A small common coastal dwelling dinosaur, Biovida was nervous at first thought due to reports of Ingens Compies swarming in huge packs eating humans. However the scientists found out that the real Compsognathus are really docile predators who only live in small groups combing the beach for any washed up marine life. These small theropods are very fast and agile with reports of them catching small beach going birds. They will also hunt in the mangrove forests waiting for the tide to recede where they will snatch up shrimp, small crabs, clams and lizards that live among the trees. Compsognathus have proven to be powerful swimmers able to dive at depths of 8 ft to catch small fish and able to hold their breath for 2 minutes. These animals head to the coastal jungle when mating, with males pairing up with a female until the babies are old enough to leave the nest. Compsognathus have been proven to be very adaptable and can be seen on the coastlines of all the major islands as well as two small islands on the Vida Reef.

Thalassomedon haningtoni
Size: 40 ft long
Appearance: Dark Bluish Grey with Light Grey belly. Black tipped tail.
Diet: Fish, Squid
Islands: Open waters...most common in water area west Kayornis, where there is a large trench.
A large relative to the more popular Elasmosaurus, Thalassmedon is a large pelagic dwelling plesiosaur. These animals most commonly hunt small fish and squid such as mackeral or herring, snapping them up in their jaws. Thalassmedon live in small family groups consisting of adults, subadults and young. Like all marine reptiles, the eggs hatch inside their mothers bodies and therefore the babies come out alive like whale or dolphin babies. Few predators attack these large plesiosaurs, though large moasaurs and pliosaurs will kill them. Not much else is known about Thalassmedon, likely due to the fact they live at great depths and can dive up to 3000 ft in search of squid and fish. More research shall be done with remote controlled deep diving cameras to capture the lives of these deep diving plesiosaurs.
Can i haz comments?

Dilophosaurus wetherilli
Size: 21 ft long
Appearance: Light tan brown with small black spots like a leopard. light red crest turns dark red during breeding season.
Diet: Small to medium size Dinosaurs, Carrion
Islands: Kellor, Serins, Destro
Biovida decided to clone a few of Ingens animals to see what the difference was between the real dinosaurs and Ingens. Ingen admitted to have combining DNA of a Dilophosaurus with that of a Frilled Lizard and Spitting Cobra. At first they cloned something actually pretty similar to Biovidas, but they shot it as "it was not scary enough." However if you would ask any Biovida field scientist what is one of the most dangerous animals, they would likely say Dilophosaurus. The way these animals eat their prey is possibly one of the most gruesome deaths to the prey of any of the Biovida animals. Dilophosaurus use the search and stalk tatic, waiting for their intended target to make a mistake. Hypsilophodon, Amurosaurus, Probactrosaurus or any herbivore found in the jungle thats not to well armored, 22 ft and under, or found in the Rainforest or lower stretches of Montane Forest are fair game. Once the prey is caught it is pinned down by the foot, and the stomach area is ripped open while still alive. The gruesome part is that the Dilophosaurus will often pull out the intestines and play with them like a cat while the animal is still alive. It will then make a bigger hole and shove its entire head into the opening and proceed to eat the animal from the inside while it is still half alive and consious. Few field scientists were discovered this way, with their intestines hanging out while they were still screaming.
During mating males develop red protofeathers on their back, arms and tail. Another name for this animal is the banshee, due to fact males make ear piercing screams to attract a female. Once the female is in visible range he will do a head bobbing dance, if she is impressed she stays with him. The male goes out hunting while the female stays at the nest with the eggs. Once the fluffy chicks hatch he will leave in about a week or so. The female then will have to do all the hunting. Small live prey items are often brought back. For the first few times the chicks are confused and reluctant, often having their mother rip open the hole and actually have to kill the prey for them. However when they are nearly half grown they start ripping doing the gruesome tactic as I mentioned before on the prey items mom brings back. When they are around 12 ft long the female kicks the youngsters out to establish their own territory. Larger jungle predators will often kill young Dilophosaurus, given the chance.
So tell what would you rather get killed by Ingens Dilo or Biovidas?

Hypsilophodon foxii
Size: 7 ft long
Appearance:
Kayornis: Dark Brown with narrow horizontal cream stripes. Orange Nasak Sacs.
Serins: Green with red tipped tail and light green belly. Yellow Nasal Sacs. Shortest quills
Destro: Dark Grey with Blue Head. Yellow Nasal sacs.
Kellor: Dark Green with Black Banded tail. Blue Nasal Sacs Longest Quills of Subspecies
Trocilan: Dark Green with short red stripes. Red Nasal Sacs.
Diet: Leaves, Grass, Ferns, Insects
Islands: Kayornis, Serins, Destro, Kellor, Trocilan
This is one of the few dinosaur prehistoric to show variation between islands. Besides outside appearances such as color and quill size, the subspecies act exactly like each other. Hypsilophodon live in medium to large herds in jungles areas, living in herds of 15-25 animals. They are on the menu of many of the islands carnivores, and there only defense is their fast breeding rate and speed. When attacked by a predator, Hypsilophodon will jump high into the air nearly at once, with their quills on the back and tail erected. These spectacular display confuses most predators, similar to how springbok antelope jump to do the same thing. Hypsilophodon are very adaptable found in jungles, montane forests, open grasslands, swamps, marshes, and mangrove forests. They will eat Leaves, Seeds, Nuts, Fruit, Tubers, Roots, Grass, Ferns, Moss, Fungi(They relish Mushrooms), Insects, Lizards, Eggs, Bark, and even scavenged meat. Hypsilophodon males in all subspecies develop blue and purple hues on their quills. They establish small leks(territories) and mate with any female in esterus that passes by.
The eggs of Hypsilophodon hatch very quickly, and the young are well developed. This is a natural response to being on the menu of many predators such as Dilophosaurus, Utahraptor, Abelisaurus and Postosuchus. Hypsilophodon are very vocal and communicate with various squeals, squeaks, snorts, and chirps.
Fruitadens haagarorum
Size: 30 inches long
Appearance: Light Olive Green with White Underbelly. Long quills with red tips.
Diet: Fruit, Insects, Lizards, Carrion, Eggs, Ferns
Islands: Kayornis, Trocilan
A small secretive dinosaur, Fruitadens was actually accidental when cloned. Biovida in 2007 received material from the late Jurrasic from Colorado. They were confused when they found heterdontosaur fossils(Fruitadens was not then not yet known). After cloning, Biovida found out they had cloned a species not known to science. Once the animals were adults and released, intensive research was done on Fruitadens to know its behaviour. However the animal prefered possibly what is the densest jungle out there. Not much is known about the animal, nothing is known about its mating, social or young rearing behaviour. Its diet is only known from some dead specimens, and Fruitadens is assumed to act like other heterdontosaurs. It is labled under "Biovida Cryptids" due to its size and habitat preference.
