Berthasaura (SciiFii)

The vegetarian smaug (Berthasaura borealis) is a species of non-avian noasaurid ceratosaurian theropod dinosaur that originally lived from the Cretaceous Goio-Erê Formation of Paraná, Brazil, as an extinct species, Berthasaura leopoldinae, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. The vegetarian smaug was originally planned to be included in Cretaceous Park and the now-scrapped Cretaceous Park Argentina, but due to escapees from the transport cages, the escaped vegetarian smaugs have established feral breeding populations throughout California and Argentina, where they are, by all accounts, thriving. The vegetarian smaug has a short, toothless beak and it is a herbivore, unlike the majority of other ceratosaurs, feeding primarily on fruits, seeds, nuts, leaves, pine needles, roots, shoots, and tubers. The vegetarian smaug is a small animal that grows to be slightly less than 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length. The vegetarian smaug protects itself against predators by using its sharp sense of smell and sight, as well as by escaping from any potential danger, running about 25 to 30 mph (40.2 – 48.3 km/h) in the fastest individuals. The vegetarian smaug is a solitary animal throughout its life and its prefers to live alone, except during the breeding seasons. Reproduction-wise, it is very similar to gamebirds and crocodilians, laying about 10-25 eggs around 1-2 months after mating and the eggs hatch about a month later if properly incubated. The hatchlings are cared for by their mothers for about 2-3 months until they're between juveniles and subadults, when they have become independent from their mothers and must fend for themselves. The conservation status of the vegetarian smaug is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the vegetarian smaug's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
