New arrivals

The journey to the perfect spot would take a few days. There will be perils of all sorts from terrain to the dinosaurs. But the reward would be worth the risks and people can see that dinosaurs are still the dominate lifeforms despite their numbers being smaller.

Clark & Elisa rode in the jeep with Derek & his wife while they waited, looking out at the modern wildlife around them.

Back at the main area of the park, Bruckner is being loaded up into the transport truck. He will begin to stir in only a few hours and then be released once he has awoken. Leaving him in this vulnerable state could be dangerous or lethal because of the competition between other carnivores.

As he rode, Clark began to have a memory in his head. One of when he killed a cop in his own home. But he never told anyone that, & eh still doesn't. But that was a year ago, but he still remembers it like it was yesterday.

The trail to the best location for filming is among the mountain region. In the center of it, there is a lake with multiple streams that attract many species. This will take at least two days and the area is patrolled by theropod predators of different sizes. Herbivores will be more commonly seen and a few can be hostile since it is the breeding season for some.

Elisa takes out her camera & began taking pictures of the scenery around her. =3

Dereck brings out a G.P.S that will lead them to the area which they will make their first campsite.

"This landscape is very beutifull Mrs Joubert." =3 Elisa says to Derek's wife.

"Yes it is" she says to Elisa. "It makes for a perfect environment for the dinosaurs of the park". "Despite them not being used to the modern day landscape, they adapt and survive like they used to do in their time".

Elisa says nothing else as she hears Dereck's wife. She then curiouslly asks, "What is this documentary about, anyways?" =3 she asks.

"It is a project of Dereck and mine" says Mrs. Joubert. "We plan to film dinosaurs in a natural environment without human enclosures" says Dereck. "They will show natural behaviors and predators will hopefully be shown hunting some of the herbivorous dinosaurs".

"Cool. That sounds interesting." =3 Elisa says as she hears Derek.
Clark smiled, "Yeah, it does." =)

"I am glad you two take interest in this" says Dereck. "As am I" says Dereck's wife.

Elisa & Clark smiled as they hear Dereck & his wife say this, sitting back & enjoying themselves. =3

"We should be able to get to our first camp area soon enough" says Dereck. "We will have to work on getting the tents setup quickly and build a fire". "Yeah, we don't want dinosaurs of any size to come in on us during the night" says Dereck's wife.

Elisa & Clark both nod as they hear Dereck & his wife say this.

The group keep driving on towards their designated location without any signs of dinosaurs for fifteen minutes. Then, the jeep comes to a slow stop and before the group is a lone male Ampelosaurus. This is a heavy scaled sauropod and this animal is the largest herbivore in the park. Their numbers are small compared with other dinosaurs of the park, but that is because if there were to many, they could defoliate all of the trees and foliage in the park's area.

O.O "Oooooh, what is that?" =3 Elisa says as she saw the male Ampelosaurus.

"That is a Ampelosaurus" answers Dereck's wife. "Probably a male since only females travel in small groups while males go alone for most of their lives". "It has thick osteoderms and armor for protection against even the strongest or sharpest toothed predators" says Dereck.

Elisa looks on as she prepared to take a picture of the female Ampelosaurs. She turns off the flash in her camera incase the flash would startle the animal & took the picture. =3
Clark looked on with a smile. =)

Dereck and his wife watch the animal as it notices the jeep. It leans its head down with its long neck and looks through the glass of the vehicle to investigate. It may be a giant, but it is normally a gentle giant unless it is the breeding season.

Elisa & Clark watch as the animal looked in the car at them. =3

The male Ampelosaurus eyes each of the people inside the jeep. The animal's interest is soon lost and it raises its head back up before it begins to move on. He comes to a lone tree and begins to feed on its leaves.

Elisa smiles as she got an idea & got a branch of cycad leaves & held them out to him "Here boy. You want some cycads?" =3 she says as she wanted to pet the sauropod.

The Ampelosaurus notices Elisa and the cycad leaves she is holding. Curios and hungry, he turns around and approaches her leaning his head down.
