Predatory

Here we have a small herd of the common Plastic Animal (Animus Plasticus), frequently found in toy stores and toy boxes. Normally, plastic animals are rather carefree because they have few natural enemies. This herd, however, is rather jittery.Yikes! It's the plastivorous Emily Rex! No common predator this, the Emily does not single out the weak and sickly of the herd. This one goes for their leader. With a single swipe, she has taken the king of the toy shelf off its legs (you can tell the Emily is a 'she' by her pink markings).
The plastic lion struggles but the Emily has it firmly in her grasp. The lion lets out a frightened roar, but is soon silenced.
Happily feasting on her prey, the Emily looks lazily about to see if any creatures would be so foolish as to challenge her for the spoils of her attack. The other denizens of the apartment wisely keep their distance, and the Emily gorges herself on plastic.

Oh my... This is perhaps one of the best I've seen yet! This footage is amazing!
I especially love the last one, with her side-ways glance, eying the competition.

Is Emily Rex correct or should it be Emily Regina? Are female tyrannosaurs considered reginas instead of rexes?
