In the simmering heat of the Mongolian desert, life was a constant struggle for survival. Temperatures rose to an unbearable 60 degrees Celsius at the height of summer, making it nearly impossible for any creature to thrive. Yet, amidst the scorching sands and barren landscape, there were a few who called this place home. Among them were the Tarbosaurus, a fearsome predator with razor-sharp teeth and jaw-locking mechanics. They were the kings of this desert, ruling over the wading Deinocheirus and the taking-off azhdarchids. These creatures had adapted to the harsh conditions, but even they were not immune to the changes that came with the changing seasons. Today, everything was different compared to yesterday. Heavy seasonal rains had filled the rivers until they overflowed their banks. The surrounding plains were flooded, creating large river channels, tidal flats, and even forests. This was a rare occurrence, happening only once every three years. But when it did, it brought new life to the desert.
For the animals living here, water was a precious resource. Without it, no one could survive. The Tarbosaurus and Deinocheirus were forced to migrate to higher ground while the azhdarchids took to the skies. But for those who could not fly, like the Velociraptor, it was a dangerous time. They were turkey-sized dromaeosaurs, with sleek bodies covered in feathers, like Others. These feathers kept them warm, but they were unable to fly. However, their agility and cunning made up for their inability to take to the skies. Equipped with a sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each foot, the Velociraptor was a master at grappling and restraining prey. Their claws were perfect for puncturing flesh, but they were not meant for tearing and disemboweling prey as was once believed. their lightweight bodies and feathered arms helped them to control their descent, while their broad tails kept them balanced.
