Unenlagia (SciiFii)

Unenlagia (name meaning "half-bird" in latin), also known as the false goblin, is a genus of theropod dinosaur that originally lived from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina as two extinct species, Unenlagia comahuensis and Unenlagia paynemili, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. The two modern species of Unenlagia were originally planned to be included in Cretaceous Park located at Sacramento, California, but a group of human intruders broke into the park and stole all 15 hatchings of each Unenlagia species, however, they were unsuccessful since they accidentally released them into the wild and the intruders were arrested by the police forces. However, the 15 hatchings of each two species have survived into adulthood and, after successful mating seasons, their populations have exploded to nearly a million due to abundant food sources and less large dinosaurian apex predators around. The body length of both species of Unenlagia are usually around 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) long and weigh 22.7 kilograms (50 lbs) to larger ones about 11 feet (3.5 meters) long and weighing about 75 kilograms (165 lb). Both species of Unenlagia have very elongated heads with many small teeth that are used to catch aquatic prey such as slippery fish, and is known to swim very well in even fast currents. Because of its preference for aquatic prey, although it can occasionally hunt small mammals and lizard, modern Unenlagia species prefer to live in humid environments such as wetlands and humid forests/open woodlands. Although both living Unenlagia species behave very similarly to herons, they fill the similar ecological niche to the fishing cats of Southeast Asia. Naturally monogamous, these bird-like non-avian dinosaurs often either live in solitary lives or in pairs that mate for life. The average lifespan of both Unenlagia species are is usually about 21 years in the wild, although they live longer in captivity, about 29 years on average.
