The Story of Cleo, Episode 3: Learning, Fighting, and Surviving

It has been several months since Cleo was separated from her parents, and she has been sticking to one spot for a while. Getting a good source of combat experience as well as food and water. Cleo is hungry again, but she doesn't see any crocodiles in the water. This is a problem for her because they are her usual diet. A couple days pass, and there are still no crocodiles. Cleo is very hungry now, and tries to catch a Petrasaur in desperation, but fails. She looks over at the water and sees , in the shallows, an abundance of fish. Cleo has never seen a fish in her life, but knows that it means food. So she walks over to the water, runs in, and sends her head into the water at such speed, that the fish doesn't have time to react, and it snatches up. Cleo eats the fish, which was fairly big, and it makes a good meal, and good experience for catching fish. A couple years later, Cleo is growing up very well on her diet of fish and crocodiles. She sees something unusual in the water today. It seems to be filled with little red shrimp, but Cleo doesn't know what this means until she sees a large crocodile burst out of the water, gulping down lots of krill. It is a Stomatosuchus,following the passing of shrimp. Cleo sees how big it is, and decides, being nearly 14 feet long and a good crocodile hunter, to go into the water and kill it. She hasn't done much swimming in the past couple years, but has done enough to know how to do it. She wades into the water before pushing off deeper into the river. Se makes a beeline for the Stomatosuchus's stomach, and, coming from below, headbutts one side of it. Flipping the Stomatosuchus over onto its back, and slashes at its belly with her long hand claws. She quickly gets to the internal organs, killing it without much difficulty. She brings it over to the shore and drags it up onto the beach. Her prize has not gone unnoticed. As much as Cleo tried not to get any blood in the water, some did, and it told a lot of Kaprosuchus that there is something big and dead ready for the taking. They start to come up onto the beach, seven Kaprosuchus start walking up to where the dead Stomatosuchus lies. Cleo is eating her kill when she looks up to see the crocodiles advancing on her. She stands on top of her prize and roars at them, but the keep on coming. She runs forwards and slashes one's nose with her long claws, then retreats before any of them can harm her. One runs up to her, but she steps on its snout hard, breaking its snout. The Kaprosuchus retreats quickly, leaving six left. Cleo charges another Kaprosuchus, jumps on its back, and rakes her claws across its back, all the way down to its head, and slashing out its eyes. Blinding it, the blind Kaprosuchus runs away back into the water, leaving five more Kaprosuchus. Cleo runs up to another Kaprosuchus, gets down low, and drives her claws deep into its throat, killing it. One of the Kaprosuchus runs and bites Cleo's leg, but have to twist its body to get into the right position. Cleo shakes her leg, and dislodges the Kaprosuchus. The Kaprosuchus if flipped on its back when it let go of Cleo's leg. Cleo proceeds to claw the Kaprosuchus's stomach out, and kills it. The rest of the Kaprosuchus retreat back into the water. Cleo sustained very little damage, and starts to eat the dead Kaprosuchus. After eating, she looks around her territory and sees her supply of food that would last her weeks. One of the Kaprosuchus start to emerge form the water, but runs back into the water after Cleo roars at it. Sending it running back into the water.
