You are in the volcanic forested lands of South Africa, 195 million years ago.

The heat of the Early Jurassic sun pressed down on the arid plains. You crouched behind a boulder, your breath catching as you spotted a small bipedal dinosaur roughly three feet long, its slender tail flicking nervously behind it.

It was a Lesothosaurus. Its large eyes, designed for scanning the arid environment, seemed to catch your movement. The creature paused, standing on long, fast-running hind legs, its bird-like head tilting with surprising intelligence. Before you could blink, its head snapped toward a patch of dry vegetation, and it began quickly slicing through tough plant matter with its beak-like jaws, revealing the rows of leaf-shaped teeth described in studies of its herbivorous diet.
