Lagerpeton (SciiFii)

Lagerpeton dinosauromimoides is a species of lagerpetonid pterosauromorph archosaur that originally lived around 236 to 234 million years ago as several extinct species of Lagerpeton of the Chañares Formation of Argentina. This animal was once extinct since the Late Triassic, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. Lagerpeton dinosauromimoides was originally planned to be included in Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California. However, in December 11th, 2040, some intruders, possibly animal rights activists released all 29 Lagerpeton dinosauromimoides to the wilderness, despite SciiFii treating all of its animals with care and respect, and over time, the population of Lagerpeton dinosauromimoides have exploded from just 29 individuals to almost a million individuals throughout western and southwestern North America due to abundant food sources and less natural predators than during the Late Triassic. Despite its dinosaur-like appearance and locomotion like a bipedal dinosaur, it is not a dinosaur and only resembles dinosaurs due to convergent evolution, yet it can be mistaken at first glance for a Compsognathus because of its resemblance. Surprisingly, the closest living relatives of Lagerpeton dinosauromimoides are the pterosaurs, both living and extinct species, as genes and DNA analysis from scientists have confirmed. It is a bipedal-running 70 centimeter (28 inch) long carnivore that primarily feeds on insects, spiders, scorpions, millipedes, centipedes, crustaceans, mollusks, fish, frogs, small lizards, eggs, carrion, small mammals, and some man-made food. It is a solitary animal that lives in most of its life alone except during breeding seasons, when the pycnofibers on the males' heads turn bright red with a greenish hue in order to attract the more dull-colored females. The female Lagerpeton dinosauromimoides can lay around 25-40 eggs at a time around 2 months after mating, and the eggs hatch about 3.5 months afterwards, with the chicks being cared for by their mothers until they're nearly fully-grown, when they must fend for themselves.
