This Velociraptor was almost fully grown. He was having a pleasant life and was happy with it. He lived inside the vast and dense forests of the Cretaceous. This place was perfect for a Velociraptor. There were plenty of small and easy-to-catch creatures, countless small rivers and lakes, and, most importantly, many members of his species. He could easily form packs and breed in here. This place was heaven on Earth for this animal.
One of his most common hunting victims here were those small Prehistoric rats. As he was walking around, he spotted one and started chasing it. He was about to catch it when he saw something that caught his attention. At first sight, it looked like a big rock, but when he got closer the view was very different. He stopped. The rat was fortunate enough to survive for one more day in this dangerous, for it, lands. It turned to look at the Velociraptor for one last time before vanishing into the bushes. Its hunter seemed to be socked. He truly was…
His experience was telling him that this was a skull. He ate meat from countless skulls before. This one was different though… This one was huge! It was bigger than him and it was only the head of a once-living creature. The young Velociraptor had never left the forest to go on more open areas and so he had never encountered something that large… He had seen some huge shadows among the trees, but he couldn’t imagine that they belonged to living creatures. He stayed there looking at the skull for a long time. Then he turned his head away from it and started leaving for the more dense areas of the woods. He was glad that he had never left his birthplace…
Things continued to go well for this Velociraptor and he happened to live a healthy and long life. Many decades after his death, a massive asteroid wiped out almost every species of that era. This skull, despite the catastrophic events, managed to stay intact for millions of years until some intelligent species of mammals discovered it.
Like the Velociraptor once was, they were shocked by the size of this animal. It was one of the largest predators that ever walked the Earth. They decided to call this creature “Carcharodontosaurus” ( because of his shark-looking teeth ). Later they found out that these species were already extinct for millions of years when the Velociraptors appeared on the planet. The age of the dinosaurs was really huge they thought.
Now they are the new rulers of the world but they exist for just a fraction of time compared to dinosaurs. And only if they knew how it all started… That Prehistoric rat was fortunate to escape that day. His descendants will evolve and turn into something unique for the planet’s history. They will give birth to humankind!
