As the storm raged above, the two packs of predators continued to his and howl at each other, trying to discourage the opposing species from the carcass. As neither was willing to back down, the fight had become more physical, with individuals from both sides snapping and slashing at their foes. All the while, the team observed this, unsure how to react.

Finally, though, the stalemate broke. One of the crocodilian look-alikes scored a lucky hit and managed to grievously wound one of the land dwellers, which was thrown into the air and landed hard by the team. Desperately, the predator tried to stand up, but its injuries were too severe, and it collapsed after one attempt to raise itself.

Lucas was first to react. Setting down his earlier capture, he ran up to the fallen predator and, after a brief struggle to restrain the carnivore, began applying come antibiotic coverings to the wound. As the fight raged on ahead of him, he turned to the rest of the team and threw some rope.

Nobody needed to ask what that meant. Hastily, the team tied the rope around the carcass's midline, just barely avoiding directing the predators' ire on themselves, before dashing into the portal. A moment later, and the rope suddenly went taut, dragging the carcass into the present. For a moment, the carnivores halted their conflict, declaring a truce while they gawked at the sight of their meal disappearing. Then they charged onwards, unwilling to abandon the meat.

Then they arrived in the present, and rapidly found themselves corralled into holding pens. Soon, the warring carnivores were enjoying good meals, their previous conflict forgotten.

The team, meanwhile, was moving the injured crurotorsan to Suzanne's clinic, where it could receive proper treatment.

Hours later, the new residents were already adjusting to their new homes. The phytosaurs were already meeting their relatives, as were the Placerias, the aetosaurs, and dinosaurs. Among them, a blue headed, red browed Coelophysis was busy tearing into a large bug, and squabbling over it with his cousins. How such a dinosaur had shown up at a time before it should have evolved and in a place far east of its know range eluded the staff, but they weren't complaining - they'd already dealt with this when they had first rescued its kind.

Lucas, meanwhile, had decided to stick with Suzanne as she treated the injured Carnufex. She'd also taken to helping clean the Uatchitodon of parasites. Both creatures now stared at the bookish human, who was already offering them food. Some distance away, Alice and Vera were still working with their primate friend, conditioning her to look before she leapt. Last but not least, the aquatic crocodilian relatives, which the team had determined to be Archosaurus, were basking in the sun, all happy in their new home.

Next time, the team goes back to Prehistoric Oregon on the trail of another prehistoric crocodile...

AN: Here's a few things I am not going to put in the trivia. Listen up!

1. The Archosaurus are a type of proterosuchid, a group once called chasmatosaurs, in case you want some idea what they looked like. Look at the version of this story on Spacebattles for a link.

2. The aforementioned Coelophysis is the one that showed up in When Dinosaurs Roamed America.

3. This episode focused on the Pekin Formation, but it also had animals form the Dockum Group and other parts of the Newark Super Group.

4. Lastly, the scene where the two groups of predators was based on the fight between the two Utahraptor packs in Dinosaur Revolution.
