The Tour

Dilophosaur

   Everyone was waiting for this and I'm really excited, It is finally time to take a tour of the park. We traveled with land-cruisers which ran on electricity. In the land-cruisers there was a computer, a walkie-talkie, and a pair weird night vision goggles. the land-cruises started moving and we began the tour. We saw hypsilophodontids, dilophosaur, and triceratops; dinosaurs I have studied but have never seen in real life.

Triceratops

    The computer gave us a lot of facts about the dinosaurs that we saw, They must have been studying them for a while now. Some of you might or might not know about some of these dinosaurs, But I'm sure you all know of the king of all dinosaurs, The T-Rex! We were at the enclosure  and we heard the sound of an animal. It was a goat! What is it doing here? Suddenly the Tyrannosaur emerged, It was huge! It reached for the goat and ate it, some looked away. I will never forget this experience. I might even visit this park again.

Gizzard Stones

    It was cloudy now and probably going to rain, luckily we're in a land cruiser. We went to see the herbivores next , now I don't have to worry about dinosaur attacks anymore. That's what I thought, before Tim said that he saw a velociraptor. We needed to go back to report this dinosaur, but the land-cruiser could only move forward. We went to the south of the island and found a jeep. Next to the jeep there was a man that was examining a stegosaur. The man was Dr. Harding the park's vet. He said that the stegosaurs get sick every six weeks for no known reason. Ellie thinks that the stegosaur has been poisoned by berries from a bush, but Dr. Harding said they didn't eat any. Ellie looked around and found some stones, gizzard stones to be exact. The Stegosaurs use these stones to break up their food and they must have picked up some berries when they pick up new stones. Then I found something more important than the stones, a piece of a shell from a dinosaur egg. I immediately thought the dinosaurs were breeding and called the Control Center, but everyone denied it. Malcolm asked them to do a test. On the screen it said : Total Expected = 238 and Total Number Found = 238. Malcolm asked them to tell the computer to look for 239 dinosaurs. The screen changed, It was now: Total Expected = 239 and Total Number Found = 239. Then Malcolm asked them to tell the computer to search for 300 dinosaurs. The screen changed again, It now said: Total Expected = 300 and Total Number Found = 292. Everyone was silenced. We went back to the Safari lodge but Ellie stayed back.
