Now, I decided to make a new competition (probably) never seen on this forum!!! :D

 

The contest is-

 

Create A Custom Dinosaur/Pterosaur/Marine Reptile!

 

So, with that said, I shall go over the rules-

 

1. Create a realistic dinosaur/pterosaur/marine reptile.

 

2. Give it a fitting Greek/Latin name with a translation.

 

3. Provide a detailed description that includes size, appearence, diet, where it lived, and when it lived.

 

Deadline is one week from now. Entries will be judged the day after.

 

Drawings are accepted but not required.

 

BEGIN!

Smiloraptor atrox

English translation:  Frightening knifed robber

Length:  12-15 feet

Height:  5-6 feet

Weight:  220-300 lbs

 

If there was any dromaeosaur that most closely resembled the Velociraptors from the Jurassic Park, it is this monster.  Smiloraptor was an incredibly fast, agile animal and a ferocious hunter, capable of reaching speeds of 40 miles an hour and jumping 15 feet straight up in the air.  It is most closely related to Deinonychius antirrhopus, as they both had a common ancestor that originated in Asia.  They also lived in the same time period (approximately 110 million years ago).  But while Deinonychus lived in North America, Smiloraptor spread in the opposite direction into western Asia and across middle Europe.

These raptors were very noisy animals, using a variety of calls complex enough to be considered a structured “language”, very much like the Velociraptors depicted in Jurassic Park 3.  They ranged from low growls and hisses to loud barks and yelps to horrifying screams.  Calls were heard from an estimated 2 miles away.

They were pack hunters with a family life very similar to wolves, where a breeding pair headed a group of sub-adult, juvenile, and infant offspring.  Smiloraptors were very caring guardians, where the older siblings helped care for the younger packmates as much as the mother and father did.  They viciously protected their young and pack from outsiders, so much so that intruding raptors were sometimes killed to present a message to other intruders to stay away.  Once an individual reached 3 years old, they were old enough to leave the pack to seek out a new territory and eventually a mate.

What makes these dromaeosaurs so different from their relatives were their 5th teeth on the upper jaw, which grew up to 3 inches long and were serrated.  While not as massive as those of any of the 3 species of Smilodon (the sabre-toothed cat), they did grow back quickly, so if a sabre was lost, it didn’t impede the raptor’s chances of bringing down prey.  Coupled with a heavily muscled neck (for a dromaeosaur), detachable jaws, and the typical dromaeosaur traits of long forelimbs and switch-blade talons on the 2nd toe, this is one dinosaur you don’t want to even get close to.
