Birds chirped. Spinosauruses splashed in the water. Dinosaurs went about their business, be it hunting, or stalking, or peacefully grazing. Seven cryolophosaurus stalked their prey, making no sound except for muffled growls of hunger. They stood at the edge of the forest, silently watching a lone seismosaurus (don’t ask why) browse on the treetops 30 feet above them. It got as close as it would ever get, then they struck. They burst from the thick foliage and surrounded the still oblivious plant eater. They let out no roars, trying to keep their prey in the dark about their attack for as long as possible. Three launched themselves at its legs, the others at its tail. They hacked at its thick hide with claws and teeth for a full twenty minutes before the stupid sauropod finally realizes it is under attack. It whips its tail and cracks one cryo over the head. The frozen crested lizard is sent staggering, before it is whipped again and slammed into the ground. It will no longer be able to contribute to the fight. The others carry on attacking, but they are losing. The neck is just out of reach, it is too hard to get past the pillar-like legs and attack the belly, the legs are powerful enough to kill a cryolophosaurus in one kick and the tail is now lashing wildly, fending off any attacker stupid enough to get close. A large boulder nearby keeps the cryos from leaping onto their intended prey’s body. The cryolophosauruses rush in and try to overwhelm the diplodocid with sheer numbers, but the sauropod lashes its tail, snapping one cryolophosaurus’s neck and crushes another brutally underfoot. Yet another allosaur is suffocated from the overpowering stench of half-digested seismosaurus poo. (Fine, if you don’t like that then we’ll say a third one was mauled to death with the large thumb claw on the seismosaurus’s forefeet.) The three remaining cryos won’t give up though, and one makes a huge mistake(?) of attacking the seismosaurus’s front leg. The earthquake lizard rears up, lifting the whole frozen crested lizard clear off the ground by the jaws. The cryolophosaurus dangled from the seismosaurus’s foot, swinging precariously and in danger of falling off any second. Then something unexpected happens. One cryolophosaurus leaps up underneath the sauropod, goring open its stomach with its jaws. The last packmate attacks the still-frantically-lashing tail, tipping it off balance. The massive, 25 ton beast was flailing like a chicken about to be decapitated, flinging its limbs this way and that… and then the inevitable happened. It had to happen. It fell.

The massive earthquake lizard fell… And fell... And fell.

The three healthy pack members didn’t eat immediately. They tore off pieces of their hard-earned meal and one by one, dropped it beside the injured Cryolophosaurus. It nibbled on the fresh meat contentedly and made a sound of appreciation that in a less regal, magnificent animal might have been purring. The other three waited until their wounded packmate had eaten its fill, then ate their share. Then all four lay down to rest. While they were asleep, five animals walked past: a Titanovenator, a Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Tyrannotitan and Spinosaurus. All five left them alone.

AND THE WINNER IS……………….. CRYOLOPHOSAURUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Intelligence (or mistakes) and a bit of luck gave the allosaurs victory this time.
