Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs are an ancient Species of Reptilean Creatures who were once prevelant on Earth, being seen(and seeing themselves) as the original masters of the Earth

The exact development of Dinosaurs is unknown but modern Paleontologists such as Alan Grant, Ross Geller and Eva Jain place their development in the Triassic Period around 252 Million B.C.E. Over the next Million years they evolved to be radically different from each other, even among the same species. They were not alone and had predators such as the Prehistoric Dragon. The Time traveller Professor Good Neweyes, had invented a chemical known as brain grain that granted low human like intelligence and morality, which he fed to several Dinosaurs. His intention was to profit off of the Dinosaurs in his present time. Regardless, feeding the Dinosaurs the "Brain Grain" led to the establishment of a Dinosaur based society, with various degrees of intelligence. They treated Neweyes warmly and were in general friendly. The intelligent Dinosaurs based their civilization, including the creation of a Train time Machine run by intelligent Troodons. The Intelligent Dinosaurs viewed the Unintelligent as their lessers and the Unlifted were attacked by many factors. The planet was devastated by Asteroids flung by races such as the Nesk in their war with the Mecora, The Achuultani, the arrival of a piece of the Darkness which would become Aku. While the Dinosaur Civilization isolated itself, the animalistic members were greatly impacted by many factors such as expeditions from the Trans-Time Corporation to hunt their meat, which ceased in the future. Super Weapons were also sent to this time from the future to prevent their devastation in the present, including one by Benton Quest. The Unintelligent were also directed attacked by the Dragons and the Brainspawn among others.

The Dinosaurs had several solutions. A Handful attempted to push their time machines with Neweyes to the strongest point and a handful survived into the present. Others built spaceships and fled into space, one group settling on Counter-Earth, which they dubbed Reptilon, or into a portion of Space dubbed the Jurassic Quadrant. The Dinosaur Empire, which was decapitated when the being Lavros fell on their capitol, fled underground. There were also efforts to save the unintelligent Dinosaurs by the Silurians, who built an ark. One Asteroid also created an alternate universe where it never hit and where the Dinosaurs could live on. Some Dinosaurs survived in isolated areas such as Skull Island, Maple White Land or the Valley of Gwangi, known then as the Great Valley, or entered caverns to the Earth's interior. A Society of Intelligent Dinosaurs survived until their pollution caused climate change that wiped them out. The unintelligent Dinosaurs that unthawed during the Ice Age cause some havoc. A handful of intelligent Dinosaurs survived and became integrated with the Society of Bedrock and Lem Village. There are also depictions of a Caveman riding a Dinosaur as a companion. In 1 Million B.C.E. The Yargonians arrived on Earth and experimented on Dinosaurs and Caveman. A Second Ice Age would mark the end of most Dinosaurs, reducing them to secluded areas. These areas became known as "Lost Worlds" and included Skull Island, Caprona, Dinosaur Island, Yaanapalu, The Savage Land, Dinotopia, and others.

In the 19th Century, Humanity began to take interest via Paleontology when Dinosaur Bones began to be discovered. This resulted in the "Bone Wars" between two rival Paleontologists named Bolt and Cartland. The two would inspire other paleontologists such as William Johnson(an apprentice of both Bolt and Cartland, defecting from one to the other), and Deborah MacGuiness(Who has been reevaluated as being a quack). Stephen Maturin used Dinosaurs to justify the Theory of Evolution. The Lindebrock Expedition encountered Dinosaurs within the Earth in the 1870's but Professor Challenger in the 1890's was the first to confirm Dinosaurs still existed in unexplored regions. In a return expedition he brought back a Pterodactyl and a Brontosaurus, which broke free. It was recaptured and turned into exhibit named "Gertie", travelling and performing until its death. Hunters also went out to explore the Jungle, hunting down a Sauropod race called the Mokele-mbembe. Some performed in circuses before being returned to Maple White Land. All these contributed to the species being thought once more extinct by the 1930's. The Nazis attacked Dinotopia in 1937 and in battle, razed it to the ground, forcing them to rely on cloning experiments when no living Dinosaurs were known to still exist outside of the remaining "Lost Worlds"

Darren Penward conceived the idea of reviving Dinosaurs for cloning in 1979, using the Nazi research notes he had obtained and created a private zoo. He was killed by one of his own creatures and only a single egg remained after a break out in 1984. The research was picked up by InGen CEO John Hammond, who established Jurassic Park, a Dinosaur theme park on Isla Nublar while using Isla Sorna, another island to house the Dinosaur clones. The Project was sabotaged by a disgruntled employee, leading to a mass breakout of Dinosaurs on the Island in 1989. This event has been highly recorded and known "Human" Deaths were: Dennis Nedry, Ed Regis, John Arnold, Robert Muldoon and others. There were false reports of other death such as John Hammond, himself, Ian Malcolm, Donald Gennaro and Dr.Henry Wu, who all had brushes with death. Hammond had a reputation as a coldhearted capitalist in his actions but acted like Santa Claus publicly and he had a change of heart due to his own grandchildren being endangered and was nearly eaten by a horde of Compsognathus before he was rescued by his own security. Hammond's attempt to end his plans were stymied when his nephew Peter Ludlow ousted him as CEO in the scandal. His plan failed in 1995, when a T-Rex(and two Velociraptors) escaped captivity and wrecked havoc in San Diego before being caught. This resulted in Ludlow's own death and the return of the Dinosaurs to Isla Sorna, which was declared a nature preserve along with the original Jurassic Park.

Over time, new ways of taking care of Dinosaurs began to manifest. Around 2003, Zoos began to care for Dinosaurs alongside other animals due to the Supreme Court Shiawise Decision strengthening the power of corporations and therefore lack of liability. This led to a resurgence in "Dinomania" with Parks such as Enoshima Dinoland in Japan and Jurassic World in 2005 on the remains of the old Jurassic Park. These were contrasted by Prehistoric Park, founded by Nigel Marven in 2006, who's main focus was conservation of species, using anomaly technology provided by Britain's Anomaly Research Center, which had previously dealt with Anomalies opening up and spouting Prehistoric Animals. Marven disappeared for some time and was thought to have been eaten by a Giganotosaurus, but survived by leaping through the Anomaly. Prehistoric Park was briefly taken over by Drew Luczynski before Marven was found and returned, expanding the franchise to become Prehistoric Kingdom. The popularity of Dinosaurs led to wildlife reality shows to include them as well to the danger of the hosts such as The Wild Thornberrys and V.V. Argost’s Weird World. ten years later, Most Dinosaur Parks were facing drops in attendance. Jurassic World experiment in 2015 with creating their own Dinosaur, which caused a breakout before being killed and the Island once more abandoned. Seeing the second Dinosaur outbreak, the local government decided to bomb the island to oblivion and gave a small window to abandon the Island. While intended to have the creatures transferred to Prehistoric Park, Mercenaries instead attempted to sell some of the creatures at an auction. The Dinosaurs broke out and into California's forests. There has been calls to render them extinct, but for the most part they have been captured and moved to preserves and back into isolated areas.
