    LOADING LOG#49-

    “August 14th, 2019

    “In a low-walled exhibit, a pair of ‘basal’ theropods call it home. Our pair of Dilophosaurus, colorful animal with beautiful calls and menacing teeth, call their uniquely styled exhibit home, running up and down the hills and hopping from ledge to ledge. The two are inseparable, staying by each other’s side, even though they haven’t laid a single clutch of eggs yet, which makes us think one of the two- or both- are infertile. Which hasn’t stop them from attempting the creation process several times.

    “Our Dilophosaurus enjoy a steady diet of rodents and poultry, along with seafood, which they catch in their riverway. The way they hunt fish appears to have been a way similar to that of herons, standing on the shore or in the shallows perfectly still, their long necks held close tot heir body before shooting out at prey and striking with their open jaws. If the fish is small enough, they’ll even swallow it whole or store it in a small throat pouch for later, to share with one another later in the day, usually before grooming each others’ feathery coat or mating.

    “But while these medium-sized predators are relatively peaceful, they can be quite vicious and aggressive if their lives- or their mate’s- are at risk. Especially with a threat as bad as a rampaging Torvosaurus. During the Stampede Incident, one of the Argentinosaurus had smashed a hole in the Dilophosaurus’ paddock, which allowed them to go out and explore. They first found me and my truck and out of curiosity and to see if I had food in the back, had hopped on my truck.
    Then one of the Torvosaurus had showed up and one of the Dilos- probably the male- launched itself off the hood of my truck and onto the back of the Torvo, where the two started snarling, screching, and roaring at one another as threats. The other Dilo soon raced off the truck and onto the Torvo’s side, latching on and screeching at the megalosaur. They managed to drive the Torvo off by pure intimdation and headaches, as their screeches are immensely loud and many a time a new handler has left from feeding the two with splitting headaches from the sounds.

    “They are spunky.”

    (Picture the agressive noises like WDRA Dilo sounds, and passive noises like Isle Dilo)
