The Tyrannosaurs Again

In the park : Muldoon and Gennaro
At 8 a.m. on Saturday, Muldoon, Arnold, Wu and Hammond were in the Control Room. The power was on. The tyrannosaurs were still free. Muldoon was worried especially about the adult rex. We will use the rocket launcher. But the rocket launcher, the rocket and the tranquillizers for the launcher are in the other jeep. A few minutes later, they reached sector 1104 and stopped beside the other Jeep. A group of little green compys ran away as Mulddon and Gennaro arrived. They saw Nedry’s body lying on the ground. The little animals had been eating it. A dilophosaur spat poison at him and paralysed him.
Five minutes later, Arnold’s voice came over the radio again. I’ve found the big rex. It’s very near where we are now. A few moments later, we heard a roar and knew that Arnold was right. Then we saw the rex! It was about 50 km away. Muldoon stopped the Jeep and picked up the rocket launcher. And we will use one of the tranquillizers darts. Muldoon lifted up the big launcher and pointed at the rex. But the launcher did not hit the animal. He put another canister into the launcher. And the rex turned its head. The tranquillizers was not working. The rex continued to run towards the men. Muldoon run to the jeep and jumped in. Gennaro drove off as he could towards some-trees.

In the park : Grant, Tim and lex
On the jungle river, the raft was moving very quickly. I was pleased that we were getting closer to the Control Centre. We would be safe there. We saw a line on the water where the river seemed to end. Grant used the oars and tried to stop the raft but it just went round in a circle. The noise of the water got louder. Les was terrified. She can’t swim. Then the water fell straight down for 20 m. And there, in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, was the big rex!! The current was too strong. I couldn’t fold the raft and it fell over the waterfall. And we fell too – down-down-down. Near the waterfall, the rex was moving its head backwards and forwards in the water. It was looking for us in the pool. I found the door with the keypad. On the wall inside there was an arrow and the words : MAINTENANCE WEHICLE. The arrow pointed along the tunnel.  I went through the door. The children had not opened the door because they had another problem. Lex and Tim were standing very still on the ledge behind the waterfall. They were looking at the huge head of tyrannosaur. It had pushed its nose through the falling water and it was hunting for them. Then suddenly the tongue let go of Tim. The dinosaur’s head fell backward. It’s jaws shut. Then the rex disappeared.

The Attack

Friday evening : in the park
 It was 7 pm and it was still raining heavily. Bright lights shone down on the road. The two land-cruiser suddenly stopped on the road beside the ocean. And after that the children look a supply ship want to go back to Costa Rica. The kid can see some animals on the supply ship. There are Velociraptors, there were very dangerous.
Regis started the land cruiser moving again. And then, suddenly, all the lights over the road went out. The land-cruiser slowed and then stopped. There was complete darkness. They had stopped on a hill near the tyrannosaurs enclosure. Perhaps they would see the rex again. Tim saw the huge head of the adult tyrannosaurs. The tyrannosaur’s body started to shake. He was terrified. They were in terrible danger. They saw the rex take another step forward. Now it was standing on the road between the two vehicles. Suddenly, the tyrannosaur’s head crashed down onto the roof of the first land-cruiser. The glass of the windows cracked and the land-cruiser moved backwards and forwards. The dinosaur roared and roared.
In the second land-cruiser, me and Malcolm heard the noise of the tyrannosaur’s attack but they couldn’t see anything. The rain ran down the windows of their vehicle. Then the lightning flashed again. If he didn’t move the dinosaur couldn’t see him! At last, the angry dinosaur lifted a hind leg and kicked the land-cruiser. Tim was in a tree 6m above the ground. A branch broke and the land-cruiser moved in the tree. Tim knew that he had to get out before the vehicle fell down from the tree. He opened the land-cruiser and climbed out. And Tim jumped and landed on the soft, wet ground and the vehicle beside him. Lex is hungry. I said we’ve got to get back to the Control Room. And we’ve got to tell them about the raptors on the ship. Me and the children had to go into the moat on the other side of the fence. The water was cold and dirty. I found a way up the step side of the moat and helped the children to climbed out.

The Control Room


Me and my friends went back to the Visitors Center and up some stairs. We passed a large sign saying : NO ENTRY. AUTHORIZED PEOPLE ONLY. The whole island was control from the first of this building. We saw John Arnold, the chief engineer. He wear white coat. And the big man is Robert Muldoon. He is the park warden. His job is to look after all the animals. Dr Harding is the vet. He is the important men in Jurassic Park. But he is out now. He’s looking after a sick animal. And Regis want to show us about how to make a dinosaurs. Ellie asked Henry Wu that they want to know where they get dinosaurs DNA from? Henry Wu is chief geneticist. Wu said that they got the DNA from the amber the yellow stones. After that Wu invited us to go into the nursery and we’ll find out if there are any new babies. In it there were lots of glass incubator and it looked like the incubators used for small babies in hospitals. There was a little velociraptors .
The Tour of the Park
We’ve got 30 of this land-cruiser. They run on electricity. they get the electricity from a rail in the road and they cannot leave the main visitors road. The land-cruiser slowly started moving. ‘Welcome to Jurassic Park’ said the voice of the computer. We saw many dinosaurs there. After that Grant walked across to Ellie. He bent down to look at the stones. Then he picked something up. These are pieces of shell ,,from dinosaurs egg. There are velociraptors egg. And Harding called the control room on his radio. After that they check does the dinosaurs can breeding? Compys were breeding when Arnold showed us that graph of the heights of the animals.

Let's start our journey!

Hey guys welcome back with me Alan Grant!! Today we will start our adventure!! Are you ready??

Thursday: Snakewater, Montana. Ellie and me got information from Hammond about Isla Nublar. There were plants of building and a map. The map showed that the island was long and narrow. Ellie said its like a zoo. When ellie saw her watch she told me that we must go now because we have to go to the airport at Choteau by five o’clock. And finally we arrived at Choteau.

Early on Friday morning, Hammond’s plane landed at San Jose, the biggest city in Costa Rica. Then me, Ellie, Malcolm, Gennaro and Hammond got into a small helicopter to Isla Nublar. After 45 minutes, they saw the island. It had sides and there were thick forests. There were clouds of fog all round the island. The helicopter flew toward the northern end of the island. And after that we landed at on top of one of the hills. And a man wearing a baseball cap ran up to them. He said hi.. he is Ed Regis, the publicity manager. His job is to look after visitors to the resorts. Then we all started to walk down the hill. I looked around him. I looked down the hills towards the south of the island then i stopped and stared. I could see a tall, curved tree trunk in the distance. But it had no leaves and it was taller than the other trees. Then the tree trunk moved and turned towards Grant. Suddenly the paleontologist realized that I was looking at the curved neck of an animal 15m high. I was looking at a dinosaur! I was starting to believe that these animals were real. The dinosaur is Apatosaurs, they were welcoming us to the island. Hammond said that we go with Mr Regis. He’ll show you to your rooms in the Safari Lodge. As we went down the hill towards some buildings, they passed a sign which said : WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK. Malcolm said to me that my work will change now. I can study living dinosaurs, not the bones of dead one.
Me and Ellie met Malcolm, Regis, Gennaro, Nedry and Hammond again in the Visitors Center. They went into a room where there was an exhibition. There was a model of tyrannosaurus rex. Hammond and his scientist will tell me that everything works well here. Perhaps we will learn a lot more about dinosaurs now.

All about me

Hi, my name is Dr Alan Grant. My job is a paleontologist. If you want to know paleontologist is someone who studies about life. Paleontologist are scientists who study the history of life on Earth. I'm a paleontologist famous for my studies of fossilized dinosaur nests in Montana. I study fossils with Dr Sattler. Dr Sattler is a paleobotanist. Paleobotanist is someone who study of plants. Paleobotanist are scientist who study how plants lived and grew many years millions of years ago. I have friend whose name is John Hammond. He is a millionaire and he is the owner of Jurassic Park. He also the owner of Isla Nublar, in Costa Rica. And i also likes childrens. 

Wednesday : Snakewater, Montana, USA. The hot sun shone on the hills and rock. I was knelling on the ground brushing dust away from a tiny bone. It was a bone from dinosaurs 75 millions ago. Before John Hammond invited me, a man from Environmental Protection Agency come to me. And he ask me about Hammond. I just answer it honestly. His name is Bob Morris.
Bob Morris ask me about John Hammond give me some money. And I just say yes, he gives us about $30.000 a year for our work on dinosaurs. John Hammond invited me to come to his island. And I can’t wait to see his island…
