Ep.01: Newly Hatched

153 million years ago, in what is now the Morrison Formation of Wyoming, a baby female Brontosaurus parvus hatches from her egg. The nest was being laid on a large sand plain, perfect spot, away from predators and dangerous waterways. The hot sun warms the sand, incubating the eggs. These are part of a large nesting ground, where the herd of Brontosaurus lays its eggs on large plains, where nests lie in close proximity from each other to earn protection. This baby Brontosaurus, that we will call Berna, starts her life in this desolate landscape, for now under the protection of an unorganized adult-filled herd. In the next hours, the baby Brontosaurus will soon be able to walk and group themselves on their own and, if needed, hide on the luxuous forestlines that can be found just outside the nesting ground.
In the background other sauropods are also on their infancy. That large silhouette is not an adult Brontosaurus, but rather a juvenile Supersaurus vivianae. Although juvenile diplodocids are most commonly found in groups of animals of the same age, right now this juvenile seems to be alone, for mysterious reasons. Perhaps its brothers and sisters did not survived the hazards our Berna most likely will witness when she reaches its age.
