Thunder part 2

Thunder never wandered too far from his mother. Although they had many friends in the forest, they also had many enemies. Mummy often had to charge out to scare off the hungry, cheeky Tyrannosaurus Rex, called T-Rex for short. These dinosaurs were fierce and strong. They hunted the plant-eaters relentlessly, sneaking up behind them. Many a Brontosaurus baby, and even the adults, had been caught unawares and did not live to see the sun rise another day.

Mummy Brontosaurus had a long thin neck and a long, strong tail. She used these to defend herself and Thunder. As luck would have it, she always managed to scare off the vicious T-Rex. Even while they were feeding on the soft, green leaves of the ferns and trees she was alert for any signs of the prowling enemy.
