Cumulus Granted has studied predators in their natural environment since he was a colt. He even went to college to become a Zoologist. So when he finds out that his grant won't be renewed next year, he's heartbroken. In the middle of the worst bender of his life, he's approached by a Horse from Saddle Arabia, who offers him a place on his expedition to a newly discovered continent in the southern hemisphere. The young Doctor leaps at the opportunity to study new Carnivores, but is he going to regret this decision later?
A big Thank you to my proofreader Graphite Sketch you rock bro. And Thanks for the kickass new cover art.

If you feel the need to dislike please message me why, I cant get better if I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
A mosasaur or pliosaur should attack the boat or a longboat with crew.
Also want to see a baryonyx and… just when they thought the attacks couldn't get bigger, an Acro gets eaten by a Giganotosaurus.
3973668 Interesting choice and I'll gladly squeeze in a Baryonyx but I have different plans for Jaffar
3973740 Giganotosaurus!?
Just you wait!
It's important for a raptor to have a hobby.
3973885
Thanks that one got passed me and Graphite
3973894 I searched for a relevant image, but the internet failed me today. Though imagining it makes me bust a gut.
3973899 Okay, I know the main threat is predators...
but suppose they encounter a predator-derived herbivore.
I am speaking of the Therizinosaur.
3989830 I kinda already did Therizinosaurus
But I suppose It couldn't hurt to try. It might not be in the next chapter though.
3973740 just to let you know Baryonyx is piscivorous. You know a fish eater
3992528 oh, I didn't notice
3992791 No worries. If nothing else it would be an ironic way to thin out the crew. I'll see what I can do.
3992816 Funny enough, I'm actually working on something in my world building group...

Wow! You have put a lot of thought into post K.T. Saurian evolution! 
Though I did see some pokemon in there 
Either way I'd love to pick you brain about this ecosystem you've built
3993231 but of course.
as for the pokemon: Bumbleland is a mostly arthropod-dominated ecology, but a few weird vertebrates live there due to the Magical Energy that produces the giant insects
No matter what happens, no matter how bad things get on land, stay out of the water…
Of the 10 deadliest seas of all time, the Triassic clocks in at #8, with the Jurassic and Cretaceous as #2 and #1.
And these look to be Cretaceous seas.
Welcome to Hell's Aquarium.
4236124 I take it you approve.
Aye me lad!
(Unless ye be a lass, Interwebs nevarr say!)
<Shoves the old Captain back in his cell>
Sorry, Cap picked his cage lock with his peg leg. Warn me if you see any more pirate speak so I can stop him before he causes trouble.
Mosasaurs. it had to be mosasaurs
4236462

4251816

4236462 oh btw I be male yaar!
Been taking notes have we...
4254125 can I help it if you made a kickass verse
So we finally meet what sounds like the critter on the cover.
…we're gonna need a bigger cannon.
As for the bit about the Swallows, please don't apologise.
You'll end up sounding like one of those miserable psalms.
4345791 They are SO depressing..
.
I'm so happy someone got that!
4426019 Well I could use a grammar Nazi. Would you like to volunteer? And Is that a good wow or a bad wow?
4426082 Good wow.
It was a good wow. I would volunteer, but I got several fires stoked as it is. (Sorry about the delay, but your response didn't post for some reason and I just went through my faves. 
)
4574198 no worries. And thx.
Is this Jurassic Park with Ponies?
4599021
Not really but there are lots of different types of dinosaurs from both the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. And death lots of death
4599028 Still sounds cool I'll give it a look
O-Okay.
4599287 What?
4599324
Awww you didn't get the joke that I have a dinosaur avatar
After reading this, I feel like I should vote for Saxon in the next election.
I don't remember if you had mentioned plans for a sequel or we are left with this ending where, presumably, everyone dies.
Either way, thanks for the story. 
4605141
Is that quip about Saxon an insult? 
4605156 No, just something I felt like sharing. Not sure why though.
4605210 congrats my friend you won 50 internets
Those will be good for something someday
4605226 How many internets will it cost to find out what happens to Cumulus?
4605237
a thousand... Keep playing when I make offers and you might just get to find out before everyone else... This is actually a real thing I want to start doing, 300 gets you a one shot request 
4784261 well rather way I look forward to your next work.
Till the sun sets on a world without Predators...Stay Gold
Remake? I like it. ANOTHER!
A few minor grammatical errors, but very well done overall!
Oh no there's a count of the number of remaining crewmates.
Well it was the cover image that brought my attention to this story (dinosaurs are my favorite-est thing ever) but I have to say the read was definitely worth it so far. Can't wait to read more of this.
