From their perch atop a rocky outcropping, the two male Allodesmus watched the waves crash against the shore.

With breeding season still some time off, the two pinnipeds had no reason to fight, and were thus content to share this outcropping as they rested after enjoying a good meal.

Their journey to this new place had been a swift one, but they were still taking their time getting adjusted to the present. Some sights had proven familiar, but others had been truly strange. Chief among the confusions had been the strange two horned beast that occasionally came down to graze on the sea grass, but they weren't the only strange creatures. Other oddities included the lizard-seals that shared the shores, and who occasionally fought with them over food. Perhaps the most confusing of all of the new neighbors, though, was the huge assortment of toothed fliers that occasionally came down to these shores to feed. Many dived into the seas, searching for fish to eat, while others seemed to be interested in crabbing along the beach shore. So far, though, nothing bad had come of them.

Those weren't the biggest of the oddities here, though. One of the main issues the temporally displaced pinnipeds were facing was the climate - it was a lot warmer here than they were used to, and there were many strange new birds and fish that they had never seen before. Still, overall the change had been one they had taken to relatively well. The fliers were merely like the toothy pelicans that the duo had seen at their previous home, some of which had journeyed with them to their new home. All in all, it was a good life.

A licker of movement to their right alerted the resting pinnipeds to the presence of a bipedal, mostly hairless mammal, one of many they had seen since their arrival into their new home. This one was holding some kind of strange hollow rock, filled with fish. The mammal quickly flipped the rock over, dumping the fish onto the ground, before retreating, likely to avoid the hungry mob of pinnipeds converging on the fish. Owing to their closeness to the fish pile, Clyde and Seamore got first pick of what to eat. They quickly devoured as many fish as possible, before retreating to avoid being crushed under the oncoming mass of their kin. The feeding frenzy that followed quickly reduced the fish pile to a mess of scales, blood, and fish bones, along with the occasional fish that had gone unnoticed in the hunt for food. The duo briefly looked at the few discarded fish in consideration, before eventually turning away - they were too full to want to go for more.

A sudden flurry of movement turned their attention back to the remains of the fish pile. There, a quartet of yellow feathered, duck sized birds with sickle claws on their feet snatched at the fish pile, each taking a fish before retreating back up the shore and into a nearby forest.

Well, that was new.

Hidden beneath the trees, the four Mei long began tearing into their catch, wolfing down the fish as fast as they could. Meat was swiftly torn, chewed on, and swallowed, speeding up digestion of the protein-rich food. Time was of the essence for such tiny creatures, as every second they were feeding, they were vulnerable.

Their arrival here had been a lucky break for them - had they not reached this new land, it was unlikely they would have survived much longer in their old home. The quartet had been forced out of their territory by a much larger pack, numbering in at nine at the very least. They had spent days trying to find food on the edge of their old territory, only to be evicted every time they found something by the new pack. Half starved, they had been desperate for any meal they could nab, which had ultimately led them to attack the strange biped mammals that had just arrived at the shoreline, even though said creatures were so many times bigger than they were. The surprise appearance of the tyrannosaurs and ankylosaurs were the only reason they had broken off the attack and followed the mammals into the present. Now, they had been glad they had followed the mammals to their lair, as it was far better here for them than it was back at home. This new land had many new competitors, oh yes, but there were even more sources of food, and the land was large enough for them to find a territory of their own, where they had little, if any competition. What had been even better was that the availability of food had occurred just in time for their breeding season. No longer burdened with food, the tiny dinosaurs had mated, and the two females of the quartet were now pregnant. Soon it would be time to for them to lay their eggs and start incubating them, but for now, they were free to do as they pleased.

A nearby crashing of branches alerted the group to the presence of a strange iguanodont, albeit one with a strange, curved crest. The group stared on for a moment, before chasing after it, having wolfed down the last of the fish. Their reason was that the herbivore was browsing on a tree filled with nuts. As it chewed on the branches and leaves, the nuts fell to the ground, providing a plentiful bounty for the herbivores. The fact that the giant dinosaur also provided protection against attack from carnivores was also a nice bonus. All they had to do was avoid getting stepped on.

This new life wasn't that bad. Not at all.
