“Dragging a ladder through long rows of bookshelves can be exhausting. It’s much more efficient to have a co-worker who’s able to reach the top shelves on their own or at least give you a boost climbing up.”

“Kronosaurus, even in miniature form, are highly territorial and should not be kept with other members of their own kind due to the risk of fighting and injury. As long as they are well fed, Kronosaurus can be kept with other species if the tank is sufficiently large and...

“We HIGHLY recommend keeping Miniature Dunkleosteus in their own tank, or with larger animals. These miniature carnivores will almost always attempt to eat any tankmates that are smaller than themselves."

Little dragons make excellent guards for little banks. It can be rather difficult to try and make a withdrawal though…

Miniature Ichthyosaurs are a species that do best in small groups, and should not be kept individually for any extended period of time. This is a fast swimming species, and a pair of animals requires at least a 40 gallon (150 liter) tank. It is important to ensure your home aquarium ...

"Like their larger ancestors, many species of miniature plesiosaur will sift through the sand of their aquarium in search of small food particles and fine grit for ballast. Because of this, their tanks should be equipped with strong filters to help maintain the water quality...

“One of the smaller mosasaur species available, Globidens do well in tanks with their own kind, or with other mollusk/fish eating marine reptiles. We do not advise keeping them in setups with other, larger mosasaur species."

“Accurate inventory is a vital part of any successful venture. Making a long dangerous trip only to realize you’ve forgotten half your stock back home does no one any good. As most saurians don’t have a strong grasp of larger numbers, people prove themselves useful at this task.”

“Successful pollination is a key factor in the production of many fruits and vegetables. During key times of the year, walking gardens will travel between farms bringing swarms of pollinators along with them to help ensure another successful harvest.”

“Most farmers will happily share some of their crops with anyone who helps them harvest it, so wild dinosaurs are usually the only thieves to watch for. On rare occasions, some do need to be reminded that you have to ask for permission before you take something.”

“If you spend your life traveling through strange lands and blank spaces on maps, there’s a chance that you’ll eventually come across something that no one has ever seen or even heard about. What you do with it is up to you, but remember, there might not be another…”

“Even in the open plains, it can be surprisingly easy to get separated from your group if you’re not paying attention. With their calls able to be heard from miles away, hadrosaurs like Corythosaurus excel at communication and helping to keep the group together.”

“Depending on where you’re traveling, it’s sometimes a good idea to bring on some extra security. Allosaurus can make excellent guards, helping to discourage wild predators. They can make less experienced herbivores nervous though, which is something to consider when putting together a caravan.”
