Will it survive? Gorgonopsid
Smaug The Magnificent
MemberCompsognathusMay 28, 20149927 Views6 RepliesMy first one was a bit of a lazy cop-out, so I made this one a bit better.
Gorgonopsid.
"Gorgon arch"
Length: to lazy to find actual size so let's say about the size of a rhino.
Weapons: sabre teeth, extreme strength, great speed.
Defence: none
Notes: The Gorgonopsid was one of the greatest super predators of all time, matched only by the mighty dinosaurs. Gorgo(as I will call him for now on) has extreme amounts of strength, able to even lift cars into the air(as seen in primeval ep. 1 season 1) not to mention their top speed of around 50mph combined with his persistency make this beast in to a train of an animal.
Up sides: Large teeth, fast in a straight line, Supreme strength, much better control of body temperature than most norther creatures on the island.
Down sides: Reckless, not very agile, drawn to blood, rather small.
Summary: I can see multiple breeding pairs being around the island and keeping a balanced population. However, these things a reckless, really really reckless, and being drawn to blood means that these buggers could easily get caught in a ambush.
To be honest, I'm way to lazy to keep this going.
I give the great Gorgon Arch a 60% chance of survival of a species.
I Believe In Harvey Dent
The largest gorgonopsid was Inostrancevia. It was about 11 ft long and would have weighed a good 500-800 pounds or so. Figured I'd give you the size of the largest species since you didn't want to find it :)
(Green is Smilodon)
Andrewsarchus would woop gorgon's butt any day.
BOOM!
Youre fat, and I'm not sugarcoating it cause you'd probably eat that too.
