Saurian the movie The camera pans over a forest and we see an avisaurus fly above it. The avisaurus flaps its wing as it looks below it this one is named alex

The bird continues to flap its wings, cawing as it does so, it's head turns from right to left.

We see the avisaurus land beside the lake, it drinks from the lake and we see it spots the jaws of a tyrannosaurus rex, it hops towards the tyrannosaurus and starts pecking in between it's teeth. We see the rex’s eye slowly open and it slams it's jaw shut. Alex barely flies away, as the tyrannosaurus snarls. We see Alex fly over a forest, we see him soar below the clouds as he turns. We see he lands onto the frill of a female triceratops, and Alex eats the insects flying around the triceratops. We see he flies off to get more insects. We see the female triceratops heading through a herd of other female triceratops and walking past a turtle, she walks to a nest full of baby triceratops.

We see the female triceratops look at the squirming nestlings. The mother triceratops vomits some plants into the nest so the calves can eat.

We see all of the babies struggling to get the food one at the back it's kicked by their sibling. We get a close up of the runt his name is patchi he falls to the bottom of the nest and yet again one of his siblings kicks him back. He gets up and shakes. He goes to the other side of the nest where we see patchi’s big brother scowler, patchi goes to eat and scowler looks at him dramatically before he makes a little room for his sibling. Patchi eats a little bit before scowler is distracted by another triceratops nestling who bumps into him, scowler growls at the sibling who bumped into him and charges at him. As scowler charges he accidentally knocks patchi back again.

Patchi tries looking over his siblings, over their frills he sees a piece of food on the top of the edge. We see patchi climb over the nest to get to the food. Meanwhile we see some female triceratops walking around as a dakotaraptor emerges from the shadows. We see the raptor look around.

Patchi climbs over the nest and the piece of food is in front of him, alex flies in front of him and stares at patchi, alex looks at the food and steps back as patchi gets closer. The young pachyrhinosaurus eats the food. Suddenly Alex flies away as the dakotaraptor stalks its prey. She bites onto patchi’s throat we see all of the other hatchlings continue eating except for scowler who looks up and screams, the raptor continues to bite on patchi’s throat before throwing him to the ground and slamming his foot onto patchi: she prepares to kill the child when suddenly a female triceratops roars at the dakotaraptor and charges at her, the dakotaraptor bites onto patchi’s frill and runs away with him.

The dakotaraptor runs away through a bunch of female triceratops, one roars at her causing her to turn the other way, another charges at her and she barely dodges the three horns. She also nearly runs into another triceratops. We see the dakotaraptor stop running and look around for where it can get away, it spots an easy escape. Suddenly a huge male triceratops with his right horn missing blocks the path, this one is patchi’s father and the herd alpha bulldust.

The dakotaraptor shakes patchi around as she frantically tries to find a way out, she backs down from the triceratops and tries to move right and left to get a new escape option, bulldust blocks the predator's path moving right and left with it, suddenly the raptor lets go of patchi as she turns right. He flies out of the raptors mouth as a hole develops in patchi’s frill. We see patchi fly into a nearby fern causing it to shake.

The dakotaraptor looks into the ferns. We cut back to patchi who wakes up in the forest, we see some light shine from his frill, he shakes his head. We see the dakotaraptor is scared off by bulldust, the alpha shakes his head and he roars.

We see patchi shake his head. Suddenly a shadow looms over him and he turns around seeing massive stomping legs. We see patchi look on at the massive dinosaur before cutting back to the dinosaur. The triceratops runs underneath the dinosaur before suddenly it growls and he runs off. We see patchi chasing after a dragonfly, the dragonfly flies past some fungi before a meniscosseus jumps out and eats the dragonfly. Patchi comes closer to the mammal and the two stare at each other, the mammal sharks it's head and runs away. We see patchi following the mammal before running under the legs of the large dinosaur, it turns out it was an ankylosaurus that looks down at patchi.

We see the ankylosaurus slam it's tail down, patchi runs away from the ankylosaurus into a field. We see him looking on at a lake, with pachycephalosaurus walking in front of him as a quetzalcoatlus flock soar by a herd of ankylosaurus and triceratops to get to some rocks by the water. We see patchi look around, we cut back to some ankylosaurus eating some ferns as some quetzalcoatlus fly by. We see Alex land and look over patchi. We cut back to patchi who turns seeing a menisoceuss getting attacked by three acheroraptors. Patchi growls at them and the acheroraptor turn to look at the calf,

The mammal escapes from the predators, the three raptors charge at the triceratops calf who is scooped up by his mother, the mother snorts and the raptors flee. Patchi is brought back to the nest where once he is dropped back into the nest everyone backs away from patchi, except scowler who goes to make sure his brother is ok. We see the camera pan up and we see patchi resting in his nes
