Survival of the Fittest

A Raptor Red fan fiction

Disclaimer: This story is based upon the novel Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker. It is set roughly three years before Red opens, as Red and her family are trekking across the land bridge from Asia to America. I've taken the liberty of updating his raptors with feathery coats. For those of you unfamiliar with the book, the time is the Early Cretaceous period. Red is a young female Utahraptor migrating from her species' ancestral lands in a worldwide biogeographical shakeup involving several continents. Conditions are necessarily unsettled, and predators (as Bakker explains) "are traveling much more than they would in a normal season." We have to take his word for it, since it's his book...
