Description

 Shark hunter.

286 m. l. the beginning of the Permian period. Early in the morning, when the disc of the sun rose above the crowns of giant horsetails, a large male of Dimetrodon limbatus set his sail to the sun's rays, warming up after a cool night. The sun spread warm over the reptile's body, charging it with the energy of light. He was the largest predator of the time. Its length was 3 meters and it had no equal in nature. This reptile was at the top of the food chain. Dimetrodon the food was varied and consisted of large herbivorous reptiles like Edaphosaurus and Diadectes, and numerous amphibians Diplocaulus. But in the dry season, nature interfered in this order of things and then the ferocious predator turned into a skilled angler. When the river has been getting shallower, herds of herbivorous reptiles went to the full-flowing lower reaches, where profusely grew the greens, not yet touched by heat. And here, in the upper reaches, there were only amphibians and fish. That they then dimetrodon and hunted.

 Half an hour later, the blood warmed up and filled with energy. The body's metabolism has increased and dimetrodon immediately felt the hunger. Lizard slowly went to the place of hunting. Dried up the river laid bare, driftwood and silt sediments, which are artfully concealed by the water. Once a continuous stream shoaled into the channel. In such ducts and lived prey " hunter with a sail." Stopping at the very edge of the water, he began to observe its surface. Turning his head from side to side, as if the lizard looked closely, trying not to miss anything. It took some time before the water appeared light ripples. Dimetrodon muscles tensed. A sharp spike of the shark Pleuracanthus appeared on the surface. Disappear again. Then the splash of the water there was the snout of a shark caught with a small amphibian in his mouth. Without wasting time dimetrodon rushed into the water. The shark tried to Dodge, but due to the fact that it was small, this maneuver failed, and on her tail closed in the teeth of dimetrodon. Catching prey, the lizard hurried to the shore, dragging the fish twisting through the muddy mud. She had to make haste to kill otherwise it could sharp spine located on your back, hurt dimetrodon. Pulling a shark ashore, hunter honed over the years by the movement of the crushed front paw prey, bite her head off and broke the tenon. Waiting until the last convulsions of the victim subsides, dimetrodon started the meal.


Охотник на акул.

286 м.л.н. Начало пермского периода. Ранним утром, когда диск светила поднялся над кронами гигантских хвощей, крупный самец деметродона Dimetrodon limbatus подставил свой парус солнечным лучам, согреваясь после прохладной ночи. Солнце разлилось теплом по телу рептилии, заряжая его энергией света. Он был самым крупным хищником того времени. Его длинна составляла 3 метра и равных ему в природе не было. Эта рептилия находилась на вершине пищевой цепочки. Пища диметродона была разнообразная и состояла как из крупных растительноядных ящеров как Edaphosaurus и Diadectes, так и из многочисленных амфибий Diplocaulus. Но в сезон засухи природа вмешивалась в этот порядок вещей и тогда свирепый хищник превращался в искусного рыболова. Когда речка мельчала, стада растительноядных рептилий уходили к полноводным низовьям, где обильно произрастала зелень, пока не тронутая жарой. А здесь, в верховьях, оставались лишь амфибии и рыбы. Вот на них то диметродоны и охотились.

 Через полчаса кровь разогрелась и наполнилось энергией. Метаболизм организма усилился и диметродон сразу же почувствовал голод. Ящер не спеша направился к месту охоты. Высохшая река обнажила, коряги и иловые наносы, которые до этого искусно скрывались водой. Бывший когда-то сплошной поток обмелел и разделился на русла. В таких протоках и обитала добыча «охотника с парусом». Остановившись у самой кромки воды, он стал наблюдать за ее поверхностью. Поворачивая голову из стороны в сторону, ящер как бы присматривался, стараясь не чего не упустить. Прошло еще какое-то время прежде чем на воде появилась легкая рябь. Мышцы диметродона напряглись. На поверхности показался острый шип акулы Pleuracanthus. Снова исчез. Потом всплеск и из воды появилась морда акулы с пойманной мелкой амфибией в пасти. Не теряя времени диметродон ринулся в воду. Акула попыталась увернуться, но из-за того, что было мелко, этот маневр не удался и на ее хвосте сомкнулись зубы диметродона. Поймав добычу, ящер заспешил на берег, волоча извивающую рыбину по грязному илу. Ее нужно было поскорей убить иначе она могла острым шипом, находящимся на спине, поранить самого диметродона. Вытащив акулу на берег, охотник отточенными годами движением придавил передней лапой добычу, прокусил ей голову и выломал шип. Дождавшись, когда последние конвульсии жертвы утихнут, деметродон преступил к трапезе.

Now this is extraordinary! So first, love the design of the Dimetrodon.  The body of the animal looks fantastic and you aced the sail. Also  the shark look great with the design and color. Also love how slimy or wet the shark looks.  The color of the Dimetrodon is also quite nice. The background is great with all of the nice details like the shine on the water and the wetness of the sand. Also love what you added on the description as it kinda sounds like a plot of a nature documentary episode, like Walking with Dinosaurs. Overall I give a 9 for it great detail, it's accuracy, and the just fantastic look of the scene.
