Lophostropheus vs Chindesaurus

The largest animals of season two are about to throw down..place your bets.

Chindesaurus

Length: 2.8 meters

Weight:400 lbs

Height: 1.3 meters

Era: Late Triassic

Chindesaurus is much like the modern day buzzard. They are primarily scavengers, waiting for a larger theropod to kill and eat, then scavenging the little remains left. They roam Isla nublar in small, tight knit family groups, in which they will occasionaly take down a small Pacheycephalosaur or something similiar. Chindesaurus is a light violet color with red cross bars down the back.

Lophostropheus

Length: 3 meters

Weight: 500 lbs

Height: 1.8 meters

Era: Jurassic

Like its close relative Dilophosaurus, Lophosatropheus is a solitary hunter. It preys mostly on smaller theropods, but the species seems to like the stegosaurs more then anything else. They kill with their lethal hand claws, inflicting deep gashes then retreating to let the prey item die from blood loss. The jaws of lophostropheus are weakly built, and if enough pressure is applied, teeth will shatter. Lophostropheus is a light brown color with a muddy brown back and flank.

And..Begin...

A pair of Chindesaurus lift their snouts into the mid day air of Isla nublar, sniffing out a carcass. They female is gravid, and needs some flesh to regain energy lost in the production. The two small theropods tentavily dart between the tall sequioias, and rush into the tall grass of a plain. The plain is flat, and covered with dark green grass, occasionally jutting from the fertile soil are large boulders. The Chindesaurus pair walk behind a particularly large boulder, and squat down. They smell food.

A herd of Ouranosaurus shuffle from the nearby forest and graze on the plentiful grass. The duck billed animals don't appear to catch the scent of the theropods, and continue on grazing. The female Chindesaurus raises her arm and scratches her face in a dog like manner. 

A sudden breeze blows in from the eastern sector of the island. With it, the unmistakable stench of a predator.

The Lophostrpheus bursts from the Sequioas, into the hadrosaur herd.With blinding speed, he knocks down a large female and starts to shred her skin. The hadrosaur kicks out and bellows, but her herd mates are long gone. She gets up and stomps the ground, bellowing at the predator. The dilophosaur slinks back into the trees. The Duck bill stands in shock, then her right leg buckles beneath her immense weight. She collapses to the ground, wheezing in pain. The dilophosaur starts to approach, salive drooping from his large teeth. The hadrosaur attempts to bellow once more, but it only comes out as a muffled cough.

The bull lophostropheus darts forward, and with a swift motion, disembowels the hadrosaur. The female Ouranosaurus puts her head to the ground, and closes her eyes for the last time.

The dilophosaur started to eat his prize. The Chindesaurus pair now stare eagerly at the kill. The female had gotten increasingly hungry since the beginning, and now was moving forward. The male tried to stop her, but she ewas already rushing forward.

This caught the Lophostropheus off guard, he was suprised another animal was already challenging him. Regardless, he let out a low hiss as a warning. This stopped the smaller theropod in her tracks, but her mate was soon by her side. Together, they faced the dilophosaur.

The bull lophostropheus put his foot on the hadrosaurs neck, and roared at the scavengers. They responded by hissing, and making bold lunges. The male snapped his jaws, while the female showed her teeth. The dilophosaur wasn't impressed.

The male rushed forward, not fully awaare of his proximity to the beast.

The dilophosaur turned to face him, jaws wide open, eyes with a fiery rage.

The bull lophostropheus caught the male Chindesaurus by the skull, and clamped down. The searing pain of teeth breaking jarred the Dilophosaur, but it didn't stop his attack. He pitched his neck to the side, throughing the smaller theropod. The male Chindesaurus hit the ground hard. The female backed away, calling for her mate to get up.

He got groggily to his feet, and stared down the Dilophosaur. He too started to back away, issuing a low growl. The Lophostropheus roared in victory, and began to eat his prize. The scavengers went in search of an easier meal..

Winner....Lophostrpheus!

Larger, and with a kill to protect, the Dilophosaur had the edge.
