The Macrodelphinus pod circled through the shallows, occasionally taking a peak on the surface to examine the trapped pinnipeds. They had noticed the Pontolis a few hours earlier, when the pod had stumbled upon the remains of a Megalodon, long dead from causes the whales did not know about. Such a large carcass could have easily sustained the whales for days, weeks even, but shark had been dead for quite some time when the dolphins found it, with much of its body picked clean by a variety of scavengers, including the walruses now resting on the shore. It had only taken an hour for the whales to devour the few parts on the carcass that were still edible, after which their attention turned toward still living targets.

Despite their size advantage, though, the whales dared not attack the pinnipeds just yet. The walruses had the advantage of being on land, meaning there was an ever-present risk of beaching if the giant dolphins did not plan their lunges well enough. Additionally, the shallow water along the shoreline meant that the pinnipeds would have the maneuverability advantage. Lastly, there was the simple fact that there was no reason for the walruses to enter the water - they weren't hungry, and the Barbaurofelis that had attempted to attack them were now huddled up behind some rocks, trying not to get torn apart. There was the hope of the pinnipeds eventually needing to return to the water to feed, but that wasn't likely.

Of course, there was one thing working in the whales' favor - the tide. Slowly but surely, the water level was rising, and soon, it would be high enough for the dolphins to launch an attack. Additionally, the large incline of the shoreline past where the waves crashed against the earth meant that the plump pinnipeds had nowhere left to retreat.

It would take time, of course, but eventually, the whales would be able to strike.

Their foolproof plan was about to go awry, though.

Out of nowhere, the sound of another of their kind entered the whales' ears. Curious, they turned toward the source, and found themselves staring at a very large glowing object...one that smelled of fish. A moment later, they swam through...as did a megatooth shark, eager to get its share of fish.

A few seconds alter, the shark was swimming away, covered in bruises from the whales ramming into it.

On the shoreline, the mammals watched as the boat came to ground and out stepped a small group of humans.

Then the humans pulled out a huge pile of fish and meat.

The rescue did not take long after that.

An hour later, and all of the new residents are enjoying their lodgings.

Whilst the newly arrived whales had been moved into a separate pen from the older pod, the various walruses and seals were now sharing shoreline with all of the parks other prehistoric shore dwellers. One of the monk seals was already getting into a squabbling match with a Cosgriffius over the best basking spots.

Michelle observed the scene with some amusement, before a low bellow turned her attention toward the Dryptosaurus picking at the fence posts.

"What a beautiful creature," spoke the girl, to no one but herself.

Instantly, the carnivore turned toward her and hissed.

Michelle raised her arms in surrender, though this just confused the carnivore.

"...Eh, work in progress."
