Our cameras and drones have been circling the island for new dakotaraptor hatchlings to document, and they have finally found one. A young hatchling seperated from her parents as soon as she hatched.

At this stage it had seemed she had been doing well and could even catch her own food. Durring this time we estimated her age to be out half a year.



She had no reaction to our documenting drones as they were designed to be quiet to make the environment as un-disturbed as possible.

Our cameras only happened to catch our dakotaraptor once durring her juvenile stage, sitting next to a tree as she observed the large world compared to her small self. At this age we estimated her to be about 2 years of age.

When we managed to find our documented dakotaraptor she was still alive and doing very well! She was at her sub-adult stage and exploring the world outside of the small valley she was raising herself at. She became more daring and attempting to take down larger prey aswell.






Here she is shown next to a defeated sibling (possibly?) or a runt from a different set of parents.




Here she successfully took down her own pachycephalosaurus after it attempted to scare her off.

After giving a few years of following around our dakotaraptor as a sub-adult and successfully being able to put a chip in her to allow tracking her easier she eventually hit her adult stage, growing new feathers along with a new set of sharp teeth.



She was able to take down anything in her path (except the ocassional Tyrannosaurus Rex) and developed a taste for Acheroraptors.









Sometime during her adult-stage she developed a liking for a male dakotaraptor and settled down to have chicks of her own.



This one was taken right before the now juvenile chick grew up to where it could survive on its own and out of mom and dad's care.

During this time was our female dakotaraptor's "prime". Even if she became more seclusive she was fearless, and almost never backed down from anything. This was around when she became 10 years of age.





She was able to now swiftly kill pachys and now trikes, as she was a skillful hunter. Even with these talents she was still weary of the all-powerful Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Our female dakotaraptor is now reaching around the age of 14, the end of her life cycle. During these past few months we've been noticing that she's getting weaker, but no obvious signs of any illnesses.





Today she lays down and shuts her eyes for the last time, not waking up.





It took a total of 2 hours to get to full adult, a total of 6 hours to reach to 14 years/age.

All screenshots are taken by me, this was just a fun guide I wanted to make and I hope people enjoy it.
