James Ross Island ,Antarctica

The sun floats in the sky while a few Notogryphemid pterosaurs glide above the ancient antarctic forests. Here not many creatures have changed. The whole island continent, isolated from the rest of the world, is where one could find the oldest of the Mesozoic's legacy. A herd of Trinisaurnid ornithopods dart about on the forest floor while a mother Unenlagiine dromaeosaur teaches her chicks how to hunt. The two of the three chicks see a lacewing and try to capture it. Instead they fumble into each other and start squeaking at each other as the insect flies away. While the mother scolds the duo, the third wonders toward a small pond. As the mother finally stops her two children's quarrel, she hears a splashing sound and a high pitched screech. She looks in the distance and sees her third chick fighting in the jaws of a giant Koolasuchid amphibian. She runs toward it and shows a threat display to it. The large crocodile-like creature was about to leave with her child... that is until she kicked it with her claws. The pond beast released her offspring and slunk back into the muck of the pond. The family then wonders off to their nest.

The herd of Trinisaurnids had a better time with their young. As the herd wonders to the patches of fernlands within these forests, they all keep close eyes on the next generation. As they reach a new area of ferns, two eyes watch in the distance. The eyes belong to a predator we would mistaken as a terror bird but this is more related to the ostrich. The predator notices a sound and sees a trio Antarctopeltid nodosaurs and a flock of Parastruthioniformes wondering in to feed on ferns and tree ferns within the area. Seeing that there's no easy food here. The large flightless bird leaves the area.

On the coast a different group of dinosaurs live here. An Antarctic Hesperornithid is being harassed by a Avisaurid that resembles a snowy owl with claws and teeth. As the Sea bird snaps at the bird above him, more of his kind hobble over to him and hiss at the avisaur. While this conflict goes on a small group of Psittacodraconid ornithopods graze on the ferns and flowers of the area. When winter comes these dinosaurs will go out to sea and feed on algea and mollusks. But for now they are docile herbivores. A peaceful world with the only creature hazards being a few giant amphibians and two kinds of deadly bird. This however will soon change.....
