-1The Dinosaurs of Isla Sorna

Chapter Three: Pack Hunting

A herd of Apatosaurus moved one of the open plains on the island, with a herd of Parasaurolophus mixed amongst them. The mixed group of herbivores moved on, unaware of the danger lurking in the trees downwind of them.

Lurking in the shadows of the trees was a raptor, a Deinonychus named Green-eyes watched very carefully, looking for any animals showing signs of weakness. Her sister Blue-eyes is standing about hundred yards away doing the same as she is, watching the herd. They are both part of a pack ten strong, and are skilled enough to even take on a full grown Apatosaurus. Her sister's mate, Long-scar, is standing a bout ten yards away from Blue-eyes. They continue to watch the herd, waiting for the right moment to strike.


The Apatosaur leader, a large and powerful bull, begins to lead the herd to the river to drink. The Parasaurolophus begin to separate from the herd to drink and wade in the water. An old female wandered away from the group to drink away from the scurrying youngsters. But this was a fatal mistake.

The matriarch of the raptor pack, Green-eyes, saw this and the hunt was on. She jumped from the trees and tore towards a point between the old duck-bill and her herd. The others of the pack moved in on her from they're surrounding positions. The old female tried to get to her herd but they were retreating to the Apatosaurs and the raptors were cutting her off. Whitehead, the fastest raptor in the pack, manage to cut off the old duck-bill first, then Green-eyes. The herbivore turned in a another direction, only to have Blue-eyes leap on her back and slashed at it with her toe claw. Long-scar, never far behind his mate, leapt onto her thigh and slashed at the muscles, stopping her from running that far. Green-eyes and Whitehead attacked next, then more and more pack members came and the Parasaurolophus became they're lunch. The Main herd was leaving the seen. The Raptors ate they're fill, and took some meat home for they're hungry chicks.
