Walking With Dinosaurs
Part 3
149 MYA
The Late Jurassic Period

The ancient supercontinent of Pangaea is long gone, broken apart forever. Continental Europe is now a cluster of small islands, all floating in a sea of immense reptiles.

Dinosaurs, like the scavenger Eustreptospondylus, and Pterosaurs, like Rhamphorhynchus, are commonplace on these small islands. The trees on these islands are home to bark beetles.

In the seas, Jellyfish, Corals, small Fish (like Leptolepis), Squid, Horseshoe Crabs, and Turtles are all a common sight. Sharks, like Hybodus, also patrol the waters, but they are not the masters of the sea yet. Ammonites, like Perisphinctes, also float in the water, their tough shells making them an annoyance for anything that isn’t very big.

Fish-like Ichthyosaurs, like the big-eyed Opthalmosaurus, are swift predators in these waters, while bigger, long-necked plesiosaurs, like Cryptoclidus, hunt fish alongside them. But the king of these waters is the monstrous Liopleurodon, a colossal Pliosaur that is more than a match for anything else in these waters.

Reptilians now rule the land, sea, and sky...
