Dinosaur Planet - Pod's Travel's - Part 8

A male Pyroraptor named Pod hunts with his pack consisting of his two young sisters. On his home island in Romania, he relies on his intelligence to hold his own against giant enemies, mainly his rival hunter, Tarascosaurus.

One day, Pod and his island inhabitance feel a massive tremor which causes an Iguanodon stampede. Pod and his sisters flee to the shoreline to escape the stampede. At the shoreline, a tsunami sweeps Pod and the other dinosaurs away. Only Pod and one of sisters survives clinging to life on a log. The next day, Pod's sister is eaten by a plesiosaur. On his third day on the log, Pod is swept onto an island and collapses from exhaustion.

As Pod sleeps, dwarf Pyroraptor squabble with Allodaposuchus over what they believe to be Pod's carcass. During the fighting, Pod is awakened by the noise and scares the Allodaposuchus away. Because they look like him, Pod attempts to join the dwarf Pyroraptor's pack, but they run away, terrified.

Pod follows the dwarf Pyroraptor believing they can lead him to his own kind. Instead, Pod is astounded to find that all of the island's species are dwarf versions of animals back in his homeland. Having lived in a world where size determined a dinosaurs survival, Pod is baffled by the small creatures. In a last attempt to find his own kind, Pod climbs to the top of a cliff and shrieks only to hear his own echo and believe it's another Pyroraptor. Dwarf Troodon hear the cries and go to Pod. Pod walks away but the curious Troodon follow.

Pod finds several dwarf Tarascosaurus feasting on an Magyarosaurus. Pod then realizes that the only thing that kept him on the bottom back at his home island was his relative size. With his size and intelligence, Pod kills one of the Tarascosaurus and scares away the others, becoming the apex predator on the island. Seeing the advantages, the Troodon join Pod as his pack. When Pod returns to the shore days later, he finds the log that saved him.

@darthjamula Dinosaur Planet never mentions Utahraptor. There were only 4 episodes, and Utahraptors were never featured

Utahraptor was about twice the size of Deinonychus. The biggest described Utahraptor specimen was estimated to be about 23 feet long, and a little over half a ton. There are other specimens under study that may have possibly been up to 36ft long

@dinocubfan calm down XD the things that made rapters long was there tails which were used for balance....dinosaur planet tells a different story about utahrapters

[dinocubfan]

@darthjamula they were a lot bigger! Did you look at any of those sites I messaged to you (can't post links in comments)

I don't know where you got this idea that they weren't very big, but you're wrong!

[darthjamula]

@dinocubfan utahrapters were about the same size as a deinonychus maybe a little bit bigger

[dinocubfan]

@darthjamula you're size value is a little smaller than a Deinonychus

[darthjamula]

@dinocubfan actually utahrapters were about 5-6ft tall and about 8ft long but you may be right about the pyrorapter thing

[dinocubfan]

@darthjamula he's a pyroraptor

Utahraptors were huge. I want to say about 23 ft long
