My Ideas for a stop-motion animation about Prehistoric Life

For my stop-motion animation documentary on prehistoric life on earth, I will need clay, an iPad, a big wooden table, some models of skeletons, and I’ll need to research some things about the dinosaurs and other creatures that are going to be on my show.

My ideas for this show are that I’ll study the movement of some creatures, study their weapons for survival, and most of all, study their lives. This show will be based on the great shows known as, Walking with Monsters, Walking with Dinosaurs, Chased by Dinosaurs, Sea Monsters, Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, and all the other walking with shows. It will also be based on shows like Dinosaur Revolution, Jurassic Fight Club, and Planet Dinosaur.

T-rex must have been a slow, heavy creature that couldn’t really run that well or chase down its prey, which meant it was probably an ambush hunter. T-rex also had a massive head full of banana-sized teeth that could crush bone, and would have been very useful for killing dinosaurs like Edmontosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Triceratops. Tyrannosaurus Rex was truly the king of the dinosaurs, and it might have had feathers. Well, not real feathers anyway, just fuzz that blended in with the skin, called protofeathers.

The giant synapsid Dimetrodon must have been a very dangerous creature. It had mammal-like teeth that were made for eating meat, and we humans have evolved a smaller version of these kinds of teeth. The main prey for Dimetrodon was one of the world’s first giant herbivorous reptiles, called Edaphosaurus. One amazing thing about Dimetrodon was that it evolved into one of the most feared and biggest predators on earth until the dinosaurs. That predator was the giant synapsid, Gorgonopsid. Gorgonopsids main prey was a giant reptile called Scutosaurus. Scutosaurus usually traveled in herds to find food. By the time Gorgonopsid and Scutosaurus appeared, the world’s continents had come together to create one harsh place called Pangaea. Pangaea was nothing but a big desert with very little water or food. One prey that would’ve been easy to catch for Gorgonopsid was a little reptile called Diictodon. Diictodon had little holes for themselves, so Gorgonopsid couldn’t really catch them easily.


Diictodon also evolved into a not to big but big reptile called Lystrosaurus. Lystrosaurus lasted until the Middle Triassic with a little reptile that would bring the age of the dinosaurs, called Euparkeria. Euparkeria barley resembles a dinosaur, but in fact was one of the dinosaurs closest ancestors. Euparkeria might have also walked upright at certain points, which might have been the reason why theropod dinosaurs could walk upright. So even though Euparkeria does not resemble a dinosaur, it was the one to bring forth the great age of the Dinosaurs.
