Winter was hard and long even on the islands where, rationally, it should not be. But like many other things on the islands, they were there anyway. These times were the hardest on the creatures who lived there; food was rare and often withered for herbivores, which then caused the carnivores to struggle as the cold and frost made it hard for some to even leave their den. In general, it was thought of as a miserable time where many did not survive to the snow me...

When the spring arrived, so did the rain. Water fell from the skies, feeding the new plants and soaking into the ground. Plants blossomed and bloomed, and the rivers swelled as fresh water cycled back to the ground.    For suchomimus who tended to lurk around rivers and ponds and other bodies of water, this was the best part of the year. Soon the storms would arrive, and the water would only grow. Fish would ...

Spring was slowly starting to arrive, plants starting to uncurl from the cold and ice and reveal the returning green. Even so, snow still littered the ground in clumps, the last stubborn bit of winter clinging on. Food was still scarce even as the sky and ground warmed. A lone rabbit scurried out of its hidden and sheltered burrow, scenting the air cautiously as it scanned the ground around it for any predators. The day was still young, and the sky was still dar...

When you lived under constant danger and pressure, you were forced to grow up faster than others. When you lived in the Alpha Labs, you had to grow up even faster. Some were even born fully grown, out of the mysterious tubes and frozen dens that had been sealed away long ago and even now were slowly opening.   Shadestealer, Avati, and Jupiter had been some of the lucky ones. They were all either born to a pair...

Dawn had freshly broken across the islands when Oboe noticed the sound of soft footsteps coming from outside her small shelter. Said shelter was nothing more than a large leaf draped over a rock, giving the hatchling tapejara just enough room to nestle into the gap for some resemblance of safety.   The black and white tapejara froze. Still a hatchling she could barely fly, requiring take-off from a high up pla...

Spring had arrived- finally, having come in late enough that winter winds and chills had persisted weeks after they should have been gone. But finally the warm winds had blown in, bringing life back to plants and encouraging new ones to finally grow in. It was a prime time for the herbivores of the islands, bringing back the abundance of food that was the root cause for their numbers.    And they were taking ...

The Alpha Labs were a cruel and merciless place. It was rare that a pair was able to come together in an attempt to bring forth the next generation inside the artificial environment, and it was even rarer for their offspring to survive to adulthood. Other carnivores were more than willing to snatch an unguarded hatchling, even if one was a member of the same species. You had to do what you had to do to survive, after all. In the rare circumstance that hatchling ...

  The islands were flush with new life, every little corner and inch bursting with it. Birds sang in the trees as they called for a mate, and some weaved nests carefully out of sticks and feathers and mud to hold their eggs safely. Larger, predatory birds reunited with their lifelong mates, carefully adding to the nests they built while smaller songbirds hopped from mate to mate as quick as the wind.   ...

In the mountains of the island, there was a perfect spot for a fleet-foothed omnivore to hold his own. A rocky little valley, filled with surprisingly lush foliage cupped by crumbly stone walls and a small river of water draining down the slope. The ground would shake and rocks would fall when something too big ran past, making the terrain uneven for any but but the most nimble of dinosaurs. The area did not support enough life for most carnivores, as the only p...

The night was in full force when Specimen 5283 stumbled into the treeline of a forest, groaning in pain as he turned around to observe the bleeding wound on his shoulder. Driven by hunger, the lab grown acrocanthosaurus had dared to venture out of the human structure and away from his sister in an attempt to hunt creatures that could only be found outside the walls. Unfortunately, they were not easy prey as mocking stories had led him to believe. Those who chose...

The life of an acrocanthosaurus was a very lonely one. Even back before the event of Doomsday, where all acrocanthosaurus alive were trapped within one building, it was still not very friendly. (In fact, one could even call it the opposite of that: cannibalism was not uncommon.) And now that the massive predators were freed from the walls of the abandoned laboratory, it was even rarer for two strange acrocanthosaurus to bump into each other on their journey thro...

The cold that covered the islands in a thick blanket of cold and frost and sleet and hail was neight unbearable to the creatures of the island- even the feathered ones. Trico shivered in disgust as he felt the cold seep through the long feathers on his body, numbing his limbs and making him hiss out in pain. This was not pleasant. Trico hissed as he entered the den, back from a short scouting mission. He was unable to go much of anywhere with all the snow and ic...

Spring was just around the corner, and love was in the air on the two islands. All across the land animals were emerging from their den full of energy and ready to court and find a mate after the long and cold winter. The same was true for the more prehistoric creatures on the island. Across rolling hills and mountains the loud calls of parasaurolophus echoed as they danced and flaunted their bright colors for others to notice. Interested suitors gathered at the...

The storm had come overnight, shaking the island to its core as harsh winds blew across the sky, carrying heavy grey storm clouds that unleashed frozen rain that formed into an intense blizzard. Animals all across the islands buried into their dens- mammals and reptiles alike, modern creatures and those brought back. The whirling winds and freezing snow lashed against any who did not take shelter, forcing creatures to take shelter in their dens, their burrows, t...
