The Lost World

The raptor snapped to the other one, "We'll be taking a shortcut rich in prey, so we won't have to hunt on the grounds." They split up and hours later, one returned with a compy, and the other returned with a rat. They snarled at each other and fought until one backed off into the jungle. The winner snapped up the rat and the compy, and scrambled away into the bushes.

Suddenly he heard the sound of something large crashing through the trees toward him. He scrambled for cover. Once in the bushes, he waited. A gigantic rex crashed through the trees and stopped where the raptor had eaten. He heard the rex growl and stumble back through the trees. The raptor leaped from his hiding place, and ran through the jungle, slashing vines as he went.

He heard a rustlin' and scufflin' noise from the shady bushes. Slash! Snap! He attacked a small compy.

The World of Stripes

Introduction:

The Stripe planet, way deep in space, is beyond our reach. But I'll give you all the information I know.

Chapter 1

Stripes are small creatures, about the size of rats, with white stripes on their backs.

Chapter 2 Main Information

Stripes will strain themselves to catch bugs. Stripes eat small fish, bugs, and, infact, anything smaller than themselves. The larger nocturnal predators are always trying to catch stripes. But stripes run at high speeds of 250 miles per hour. They never get exhausted. They sometimes, but not commonly, turn and snap at the object of terror. This is what a stripe looks like

For basic information, stripes live in trees, small caves and burrows. The stripes are not quarrelsome with their own kind. Caroscots love eating stripes but they never catch them. Here is a caroscot:

Chapter 3 Scavenging

Stripes can swim. Normally they zoom through the underbrush and thicket at 250 miles per hour too, but they prefer to dive to escape hungry carascots. Carascots run at two miles per hour and their ambush isn't good either. In short, five million caroscots die each day. Stripes sneak through the bushes. They they scavenge off the carcass until nothing is left but bones. They they drop rocks on bones so they can eat the marrow inside. The bones make a good burrow, but they dig into the ground, snapping up worms as they go.

Chapter 4 Other peaceful animals

Larger animals graze on the leafy plains of planet stripe. Stripes eat the flies that pester the other creatures by climbing onto their backs and catching flies. Sometimes they hide on the plains from torkors. This is a torkor:

The stripes snap up tasty frogs near the river.

The End (for now)

Hari & Mitz- Comic VII

Hari: Mitz, we should go outside.
Mitz: Ok.
Hari: ok, we'll go crashing across the lawn.
Crash! Swisssshhhh! Bonk! Doink!

Mitz: I told you this wasn't a good idea!
Hari: Well, all this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't thought of crashing across the lawn!
Mitz: MY IDEA? YOU thought about going outside and crashing across the lawn on a skateboard!
Hari: Wow, we must have been real aces to crash inside a trash can!
Mitz: TRASH CAN?
Hari: Mitz, don't start a bugscuffle like you do in all of our comics. It looks embarrassing and it's a bad example to people who read these things.
Mitz: I want to read Pernix.

A Crab's Life in the Ocean

The red crab scuttled around the reef. He clamped down his claws on shrimp, worms, and prawn gobies. Suddenly, a loud "squirt!" sounded behind him. He wheeled around. A full-grown cuttlefish was squirting like mad as it headed toward him. SSSSHHHH!!!! He flung up sand into the cuttlefish's eyes. SQUIRT! It released billowing clouds of jet-black ink. Shiny, white, and sharp teeth chomped down on the blinded cuttle. A blacktip shark appeared from the fading ink! GRRRROOOWWWWWWWRRRRR! It tossed its prey about, tore it apart, and wolfed it down. Lucky for the crab, there was a cave nearby, for the crab had been watching. It stood at the entrance, pinching predators. Many fish swam by with the crab's claw mark on their sides.

A small orange coral goby fluttered by. They only stuck around large coral, but sometimes they swam down near caves. The crab scrambled into the back of the dark cave. Suddenly a large shark darted by, causing the small fish to crash into the cave. The next second, the crab had darted swiftly forward and eaten the small fish. He saw anything that was smaller than him as food, whereas anything bigger than him as predator. He watched as a large great white shark swam past him. He scuttered under a big plate coral
.
Presently, nothing happened, so he crawled out. His biggest predator, a white-spotted guitarfish, flapped toward him speedily. He shielded himself with his big pincers. The hungry fish bulleted nearer. Scrunch! He pinched the big fish. It snarled in pain.
