Release your dinosaurs in the land down under! Explore a polar landscape with exotic and bizarre wildlife around every corner!
Note: Now, some people told me before that there aren't that many animals known in the Australian ecosystems to make a thread, but I beg to differ. The specimens may be fragmentary and many may be unnamed, but there is a unique fauna to take advantage in this case:
•Extremely diverse number of bizarre small herbivorous ornithischians such as Leaellynasaura, Atlascopcosaurus, Quantassaurus, and many more. •A large number of large-bodied theropods represented by numerous groups, ranging from Allosauroids (Australovenator) to small Tyrannosaurs (Timimus) and Spinosaurs. •The youngest known Dicynodont, which is thought to have filled a ceratopsian-like niche on the continent. •A number of minmid Ankylosaurs as well as Minmi proper. •The youngest known Temnospondyli Koolasuchus. •Aquatic monotremes, including one of the earliest known relatives of the platypus, Steropodon, which is one of the largest Mesozoic mammals. •Small-bodied theropods include Ceratosaurs, Ornithomimosaurs, a basal coelurosaur, and at least three taxa within Maniraptora. •A number of big sauropods, such as Wintonotitan and Diamantinasaurus. •A few Ornithocheiroid pterosaurs, such as the enigmatic Mythunga. •The basal and bizarre Iguanodontian Muttaburasaurus.
There, you actually got a pretty long list to chose from.

Ruffus laid in his usual shade, relaxing in the warm sun. He was tired and thirsty, so he got up and drank from the small river that was in his territory. But then he noticed another dinosaur walking through the territory. It looked an awful lot like another Australovenator, but it looked like an adolescent one.

Laurence was walking on the forest floor with a Leaellynasaura in his mouth. It was big and plump, ripe for the pickings. He growls in pleasure and starts eating it. However, he picks up the smell of another dinosaur, one of his own kind. He growls and barks at the air, to warn the inturder to get out.

In the deep heart of the forest lies a small underground burrow, hidden securely amongst the ferns and very dense vegetation. The foliage is so dense that few predators are able to fit into this grove, and the few small ones that can have trouble finding the entrance to the burrow within.
Out from the burrow, however, pops a small dinosaur. It's a Leaellynasaura, in all its fluffy glory, and her name's Anjea. She's about to go out on a foraging excursion to get some medicinal plants and food for her son Calab, but before she leaves out, her daughter Zoe pops out and runs around to try and stop her.
"Mom! You said you were going to play with me today! I don't want to stay here and watch Calab!"
"Zoe, we talked about this before. Your brother isn't feeling well, so I have to go out for a while. I promise I won't be long, then we can play."
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" Zoe says while rolling around in the leaf litter. She was usually like this, always trying to get her way. She didn't like to stay at home with her brother, who, do to constantly coming down with some illness and shy attitude, wouldn't normally play with her. She wanted to go out and see the ecosystem with her mom, but she wasn't old or big enough yet. Luckily, being a single mother means Anjea is used to this behavior and knows what to do and say.
"Listen, Zoe. If you take good care of your brother while I'm gone and don't destroy the den, I'll go to the food storage area and get you some of those berries you like so much."
Zoe immediately stops and looks up at her mom in full attention. "Really?"
"Yes, but only if you're good." Her mom says, happy that the bribe still works.
"Ok, good luck!" Zoe says before ducking head-first back down the burrow.
Anjea smiled a beaky smile, and headed out of the grove to go and find some food for her young ones.

He stood up, snarling in annoyance, You damn 'mate! Leave me alone, will 'ya? He then laid back down, grumbling.

Relyt awoke with a start. A loud roar had woken him up. Again... It sounded like his own species. No, they couldn't be? Could they? Another roar confirmed it. They were fighting again.
Relyt got up, and, with a huge sigh, started walking away. He had had enough of the constant fights going on in this area; the dinosaurs here were too noisy. He started to head off into the deep forest. 'I need a new territory' he thought. 'Away from all this nonsense'. He walked for a long time, through many rivers, stopping on the way to grab some drinks. Eventually, when he couldn't hear the other Australovenators roaring anymore, he started looking for a new base of operations. A new territory. That would be nice. And right then he saw it. A cave in the side of the mountain, very spacious and nice. There was lots of vines and plants surrounding the cave, so it was well camouflaged. There was also some nice plant decorations inside it which he decided he could sleep on. And the best bit? This mountain was at most 100 metres away from a stream. This was perfect.
Relyt sat in his new cave, and started to get drowsy again. 'This is going to be a great new place' he thought as he drifted off to sleep.

Anjea was making her rounds in the forest, gathering food and materials she needed in her arms and long, flexible tail. She would wave and bark a hello at any friends she saw along the way, including one of her neighbors, an old female Minmi, which lived near some of her favorite gathering spots. Along the way, she passed by her beloved's resting place. She puts the food down on a rock and goes to tidy up the area around the tree she found him under, now marked by a pile of stones which she collected to hide his body.
"Hello dear. I've been taking care of the kids. Zoe's still as lively as ever and Calab is getting stronger by the day."
She stops for a moment, thinking in deep thought about everything that had happened, and the happy times they shared. She makes a small smile.
"Don't worry, I'll have them grow up to your liking."
She swept up the dead vegetation with her long tail, adjusted the stones properly with her beak, and put some new flowers between the stones. She then turned back to grab the food when gathered and turned around for one last look at the grave. For a moment, she could've sworn that she heard his voice then.
She then ran out to the last point stop on her gathering spot: the river. She needed to collect some more horsetails for the medicine storage, and begins cropping up the young stems in her beak and stuffs them in her arms. (Seriously, few people know this but horsetail stems are effective antibiotics and can stop bleeding from open wounds. There, I might've saved your life if you ever get lost in the forest. ) However, while she's collecting them a sudden roar makes her jump and drop some of her plants. The roar was from an Australovenator, the largest predator in the area. The roar, while far off, doesn't make her very comfortable her anymore, and she quickly gathers up what she dropped and begins running back home to her little ones.

'Well, I don't know what I expected' Relyt thought to himself. 'Of course that dinosaur was going to run away, why would you think it was a good idea to roar at it? Genius...' Relyt was kicking himself for that move. He had recently woken up, and was starting to get hungry.
He walked out of his den, and quickly killed a passing Spinosaurid hatchling from nearby. "This is too easy! Living by the stream, the prey will come to me! Haha!" Relyt said. Relyt scoffed down his meal, and buried the bones under a small mound of dirt so no passers by would be suspicious. Then he started gathering some dirt and small ferns and placing it around the entrance of his new home. After this, he admired his work. His home was all but invisible! And no dinosaurs would be dumb enough to enter it if they found it anyway.
He walked back down to the stream, to grab a drink. But he was stopped by a familiar smell... 'Oh for fucks sake...' Relyt muttered in his mind. He quickly sped back up into his home, and watched from there. There they were, the new pack of Australovenators in town. Only 3 of them, all fairly small, but they were... how do you put it? "Assholes..." Relyt whispered to himself. They were on their way quite quickly, and Relyt hoped that this would be the last he saw of them.
Relyt killed a few more small dinosaurs that day, and he stored them under some heavy foliage next to his den. This was a good move, because the scent of the kills would be masked by the plants and it would diffuse more in the air than it would in his home. Also, dinosaurs that stole his meals would not have to break and enter to steal them. Relyt backed into his den, with the day turning to night, and he sat there, just wondering about stuff. Stuff was cool. Relyt was cool.
Hours passed, and Relyt slowly fell asleep.

Laurence was still having terrible nightmares about the death of his mother. He wakes up with a yelp and breathes heavily. There are several rumors going about his mother's death. Some say another Australovenator killed her, yet some say another carnivore killed her, infamously known as a spinosaur.
However, he must put his revenge aside for now. He needs to hunt and a Muttaburasaurus herd was not far away...

Relyt woke up in the morning, after an extremely good nights sleep. At first, he was lounging around with his eyelids half open. Except, he did this for a while. Don't we all though? Relyt actually woke up around 30 minutes later. After a quick stroll down to the river, and a sip of fresh water, he was much less sleepy. He was feeling very energetic today. But there was something important, something he had to... his food! He ran up to his hidden home once again, and made sure no one was looking before he unveiled his kills. They were all still there! Excellent! He picked out one of the smaller Spinosaurs, and ate it up for breakfast.
Relyt was doing well. He had done some chores in the morning, like cleaning up around his new home and organising his kills once again. He had managed to find some seeds, so he put them in his cave. After this, he used his tail and claws to shuffle around the mounds of dirt that were camouflaging his home. He made them look much more natural, and piled them up even higher. Relyt then picked up the seeds, and sowed them across these mounds of dirt. With the rain that seemed to be coming around in the next week or so, his cave would soon be almost completely hidden. Relyt picked up some more bushes, and placed them infront of these dirt mounds. His cave was literally invisible now.
Relyt walked through the bushes, into his cave. Although he fit kinda okay, he needed more space if his whole body was going to fit snugly. Using his claws, the scraped away the semi-loose clay, soil and rock, and after around an hour he had made a cave that was a perfect size for him. He smoothed out this by using the clay he had dug out to fill in all the cracks in the walls. The walls were now what us humans would call plastered. They were nice, smooth and comfortable. Relyt made a little shelf in his cave too, where he could put little items if he wanted. It was 'Flipping awesome!' as Relyt thought to himself.
Relyt was hungry again, and he grabbed another small Spinosaur off of his pile which was hidden out the front of his home and ate it quickly. He had done so much today, and was very proud. He had a perfect new home. He could not wipe the grin off of his face. Now, he would just need to hunt extensively about once a week to gather his food, and just relax and do chores. But there was another thing he needed to do...
Relyt was a young adult now, and had nearly finished growing. Because of this, Relyt had decided that he needed to find a pack to join. This was actually kinda tough for Relyt, because he was kind of awkward and shy around new people. He actually wanted to make long lasting friends though, so that would be some motivation at least. He was also a bit self conscious, because the last time he had tried to join a pack he was rejected and mocked. Why? Because he was not a strong Australovenator, which was a surprise to others because he was larger than an average one of his species. Relyt got quite upset by this, because he was a bit sensitive. But he up, and back on his feet within a couple of days. 'Life moves on...' Relyt thought.
Relyt felt happy and surprised, as day turned to night. Nothing had happened today, but so much had happened today. He had completely finished his home, camouflaged it, had time to think about his future, reflected on his past, so so much. But nothing had happened to interrupt him. It was almost a perfect day. Not much could have gone better! Relyt fell asleep with ease, his dreams filled with happy thoughts and memories.

(Then we shall continue!)
Laurence just finished his meal and moved on to find water. He find a large clearing, with a large lake in the middle. He walks cautiously, making sure there aren't any other dinosaurs that may disturb him. He bends down and begins to drink. The water cleans up the leftover blood from his serrated teeth and refreshes the Austravenator. He then continues walking around the lake, looking for something to do.

Relyt was alerted of the dinosaurs presence, because he was extremely loud. Before Relyt saw or smelt this new intruder, he heard the loud footsteps splashing in the water. It was a rookie mistake if you were trying not to be heard. Relyt was now watching this new intruder from a small mound of dirt near his cave. It was another Australovenator, and he seemed to be as big or perhaps a bit bigger than Relyt. Relyt was not going to fight him. Not today. But Relyt watched him. He was just walking around the lake, looking for something to do. He looked pretty daft, strolling around a lake over and over. Relyt chuckled. Two things happened at once.
1: The intruding Australovenator looked directly at Relyt. 2: Relyt realised that he had made his own rookie mistake.

That Australovenator was Laurence. He already sees Relyt and was looking right at him. He barked aggressively at him.
What are you lookin at? he snarled, Get lost, mate!
He was still looking at the rival, hoping that it DOES get lost.

Another dinosaur, intruding on his territory, has the courage to tell him to get lost? Screw that!
"Yeah, I don't think so mate" Relyt said. He stepped out from behind his cover, and revealing his full size to his rival. It was then that Relyt realised he had a huge size advantage against this intruder. Relyt smirked, wondering if maybe he could actually win a fight for once. He started to walk towards his rival. The other Australovenator looked midly frightened, but did not moved. Relyt stopped walking about 10 metres in front of the intruder. "Now look," Relyt said, "This is my territory right here. I own it. I protect it. I don't think you are a bad bloke, and if you just move off a bit, there's no worries. Honestly, you can even make your own territory only about a kilometre from here and I wont mind. But just don't come into my home, and tell me to bugger off."
His rival was looking for a comeback. Relyt could see his mind ticking away. Before his rival could speak, Relyt added "Please?" His rival backed down a bit, but did not leave. Relyt saw in his eyes that the other Australovenator was deciding whether to stay, or go.
