Chickenosaurus

The Chickenosaurus (ch-i-ck-en-o-saur-us) is one of the first ever creatures discovered on the planet Zinul. The appearance of the Chickenosaurus is mostly covered in feathers ranging from White, Black, Blue, Buff, and Lavender in color. This creature is one of the few creatures to evolve with only two limbs. The wing bones from older species evolved to be fused with their leg and tail bones to make them stronger. The creature's beak is one way to tell how old it is, using the scars as referents. Running down its neck are three combs going from the tip to the end. These combs are used to cool off and to move them side to side to attract mates. Their feet are like birds with two toes in the front and one in the back helping it be steady. When the Chickenosaurus is running its speed was recorded up to 25 mph.

To protect themselves from predators, they use their beaks or thick tails to attack. They use the tail to whip the predators, making them fly far distances. Using their beaks, they peck at them to make them bleed and to make them run. For a full scale attack, the adults make a circle to keep the chicks in the center safe. The Chickenosaurus lives in warm areas, mostly in tall grass and water humps. When winter comes, they migrate to warmer areas where there is more food for them to eat. They are herbivores that eat Large Insect, Scale Tree seeds to crack them open and spread the real seeds in them, and they eat tall grass that grows faster than regular plants. The main thing that separates all the sub species is the beak. The types of beaks you can find are Curved, Tweezer, Spear, Hooked, Cracked, and Probing beaks.

The dating ritual for Chickenosauruses usually starts in spring as the males get ready to fight. Like seals, they usually fight for a female. They use their beaks to scratch and damage other males. Making them bleed and weaken them to make the female more interested in them. After the fight, they move their combs side to side, doing a dance for the females. Later in the fall, the females usually lay one to five eggs in a batch.

The date was October 4th, 1921 (using earth dates), as one of the researchers, Jane Armstrong, was landing on the edge of the tall grass measuring over 6ft tall. As she stepped out, a low rumbling echoed throughout the ground, being able to feel it through her legs. Walking through the tall grass was a risk, but she took it anyway, and after some time of walking, she reached a flat part in the grass. In front of her was a herd of Chickenosauruses, with them using their beaks to eat and to teach the white fluffy younglings (which some were losing their feathers) on how to use their beaks. She walked over to a rock and pulled out her journal to study them. When some of the fluffy chicks saw her, they ran right up, being curious. So she started to play and study them. As the adults trusted her and were collecting food for the young. After some time she decided to name the species family “Gallus titanus” and for a common name “Chickenosaurus”.
