Crusher, after about 10 minutes of searching, found his intended target. an adult Alpha Male Brachiosaur, drinking from a stream on the opposite side of the clearing. Crusher looked at Hunter, and growled "Time to hunt". he walked extra carefully to avoid making noise. after walking around the clearing, through the trees, he reached the Alpha Male, who was feeding off the plants far above, oblivious to Crusher. Crusher crouched as he angled himself for the Brachiosaur's neck. the Base of it was just low enough for him to bite. he launched himself at it, and locked his jaws shut on the neck. he then started to thrash. Hunter looked at his father as he did it. this was unbelievable. no other predator he knew was brave enough to dare attempt this. Crusher continued thrashing, and suddenly several blasts of blood shot out of the Brach's neck, painting the plants around him red. Crusher had managed to saw through the muscle and into the Jugular vein. it roared loudly as it was being attacked, and the jets got stronger and stronger as adrenaline kicked in to keep it awake. but eventually, the jets got weaker and weaker, and with it, the Brachiosaur. it made one last, weak moan, and fell to the ground, the impact shaking the ground. by now, the herbivores had woken up, and moved away from the Brachiosaur. Crusher roared in victory, and growled "Let's eat". Hunter just watched his father wide eyed. the pair started eating. after eating a bit, Hunter growled "How did you kill it? I didn't think it was possible to kill a Brachiosaur this big. it's the biggest in the valley! probably one of the largest on the island!". Crusher growled "It's all about Technique, Hunter. that's all it is. Technique. you saw me go for the neck. all it's blood goes through it's neck. if you saw through it's neck with your teeth, it'll die much faster than any other way. it's body practically pushes all the blood out. it kills itself. you just have to hold on long enough". Hunter and Crusher continued eating. after having their fill, the pair started to drag it back to the territory. they'd leave it on the edge of the territory, then call the family. that way, they could eat it without worrying about tresspassers in the territory. Crusher alone had eaten one of the front legs along with the stomach and most of the neck's flesh. Hunter ate most of the flesh off of the ribs on the right side. the rest would feed his mother, mate and the 2 youngsters...
