The Mixed Ecology

The Hammer, CHAPTER NINE.

Winged Creatures (p. 465)
dactosauroids
bird-like gliders
Terrestrial birds

Battlefield Scavengers (p. 467)
dactosauroids
gulls
knee-high, fanged carnosauroids

Probably a picture of the Bellevuean ecology can be built up from background details although the foreground action remains men killing each other. The human race survives as long as new generations continue to be born, whether men die old at home or young in battle.

Kaor, Paul!

I think I glided over too quickly those "knee-high, fanged sauroids." A small, but interesting detail.

I certainly hope the human race survives despite us being so often feckless and quarrelsome!
