Description
Name: ProcompsognathusMeaning: Before Elegant Jaw
Time Period: Late Trassic/Late Jurassic
Native Land: Europe
Height: 1-1.5 ft
Length: 3 ft
Weight: 3 kgs
Diet: fresh dung, carrion, small creatures (with occasional large prey), eggs, and young dinosaurs
Genetic and Other Abnormalities: genetically-crossed with Compsognathus, has frog's gender changing trait, and has primitive venom (that works like cobra venom) in the mouth.
Info: The Procompsognathus or Compy is the second smallest dinosaur on Isla Sorna and in Jurassic Park. They're play an important part of Isla Sorna's ecosystem, by cleaning the island of dung and carrion (with t-rex's help) and help control the rodent and lizard population and control eggs and offspring numbers (small and pony-sized young). They live in flocks like birds. Their vocalization is like a bird's, specialized and complex. They're one of the most common dinosaur species on the island; thriving in the swamp, forest, and open areas (but mostly moist areas). It was therozied that they were feathered once. Levine found out that the compsognathus half did, but the procompsognathus did not. According to Levine's later notes, only 32-40% of the compies on the island have a small down-feathered coat that exactly resembles a horse's hide. Due to their odd looks, the featherless compies reject and even attack the feathered ones, forcing them to go where the other compies haven't gone to: the mountains that acts like a barrier around the island. With their fur-like coat, they can be able to live there nicely, feeding off of the lizards, sea-birds, bugs, and feral goats and their droppings and kids that live there. But they're still the same "species" as the featherless ones. It would take a few hundred generations to make them even a subspecies.

In the 1600s, 1700s, and early 1800s, it was a common practice to release pigs and goats onto island to provide food for shipwrecked sailors.

Yeah, by taking to the mountains. Β And their presence when the dines first came helped the herbivores by being a major food source for the predators at first. Β This is what ecologists call a 'buffer effect'.

You know, this kind of reminds me of the confusion that has been caused between Compsognathus and Procompsognathus. They are two completely different Theropods. Compsognathus is a Coelurosaur whilst Procompsognathus is related to Coelophysis.

Yeah, that's why I've decided to cross them together here.

I like the drawing, but Europe is not a country.

I didn't put Europe as a country, I just put it as its native land or range.
