Shelly wrote: "I'm a Compsognathus. Never heard of that before, but I like it!!"Procompsognathus was in both books, and the directors used a regular compsognathus (green in color, distantly related to the pro species) for The Lost World but still called them procompsognathid. Also know as "Compy." It's the little green dinosaur about the size of a chicken or so that travels in groups, makes a cute chirping noise, and has chemicals in its saliva that are narcotic-like, making you feel sleepy and relaxed when it bites.
Adorable little dangerous monsters, mostly, as they're cute but swarm you and put you down when they bite so they can eat you as they want... LOL
They're one of my favorites from the movie because, well, they're underestimated because of their size!
*sigh* now I want to reread those two novels.
I remember those! Nasty little critters *shudders*

I came up with Stegosaurus..........but I'm going to need a LOT of time to read the books for this because I'm currently plodding thru the Game of Thrones books. Granted, one will fit in, but it will be a while before I get to any other books. Too many other irons in the fire to read as much as I would like.S -

This challenge was inspired by the book turned movie, Jurassic Park. To participate in this challenge, you need to find out what your inner dinosaur is by taking the following quiz:
http://www.zimbio.com/quiz/GKBiVhiC4F...
How do I play?
Step 1 - Answer the Quiz and find out what dinosaur you are.
Step 2 - Read your dino by spelling it's name out and using the letters to pick your books. The letter must correspond to the first letter of a title, the first letter of an author's first or last name, or the first letter of a character's first or last name from the book. Just let us know what the link to the letter is if it's not obvious. And, no, you don't need to read a book about dinosaurs to participate, but you can if you want to.
Step 3 - You know how fast you read so pick a date you feel confident you can finish by.
Step 4 - Start reading.

P - Prodigy|13414446] by Marie Lu
