Toby T-Rex

Except for the lynx the animals found grass and leaves to cover the egg.  And they took turns rotating it.
      Two weeks later the egg hatched.  A small creature flopped out onto the ground.  It was slimy from all the wet, sticky fluid inside.  Soon it stood erect on two back legs.  The front legs were much smaller and just hung there near the creature’s shoulders.  It had an elongated head with sharp teeth and a tail that seemed to help it balance.  But it was tiny, perhaps the size of Scully.
     “Egads!” said Myrna.  “It’s certainly not a bird.  Ugly thing, I’d say.”
     “It’s an alien,” laughed the squirrel.  “A monster from space.”
       Levi slowly stalked the creature.  Snarling, it was about to pounce on it.  Suddenly the creature let out a piercing scream that sent Levi in a quick retreat.
       “Scared you, huh, Levi?” said Bertha.  “Little thing made you feel like a fool?”
     Humbled, the lynx growled, “It caught me by surprise. It won’t happen again.”
    “Well it’s got strong lungs alright,” said Scully.  “What a terrible sound.”
    “One thing’s for sure,” explained Darcy, “it’s a baby and it’s hungry.”
    “And what does one feed a baby… whatever it is?” wondered Tobias.
    Just then a parade of caterpillars crossed the area.  Instantly the creature pounced on them.  When it had its fill, it did the most curious thing.  It walked over to Darcy and lightly whined.  It then nuzzled its head on Darcy’s back.  Seconds later it fell asleep.
