"Okay," Colonel Peterson said, "north it is!"

The swamps were the same today as previously, except for numerous reptilian mammals that appeared to be plant eaters as large as cows grazing on the grasses near the mud. As they had noticed on a prior occasion, the herbivores didn't appear to fear the presence of the nearby carnivores. The larger Gorgons roamed near the plant eaters, and the fin tailed Dimetrodon waded next to the frogs and smaller creatures.

"The process never changes," Sheri said, "and hasn't for hundreds of millions of years. The herbivores stuff themselves on the plants, always eating and growing fatter. The more vicious carnivores only eat when they are hungry, never killing for the sake of killing. Seldom does the animal kingdom throw a rock into the pond."

"The rock—or one exception being homo-sapiens," acknowledged the major.

"Yes," Colonel Peterson agreed, "we are the only animal that kills for sport—or fun, if you prefer."

"But that doesn't make the beasts any less dangerous," Major Cooper warned. "I have an idea that any one of those creatures out there would defend their space if we got in their way!"

"Then let's remember not to get in their way," Colonel Peterson agreed.

"I would like to gather some of the frogs and smaller reptiles for study," Sheri pleaded. "To do so, I'm afraid we will have to get into their space."

"I was afraid you were going to say that," Major Cooper laughed. "I kind of hate to leave the safety of the ATV."

"Our big, strong, brave hero afraid?" Colonel Peterson asked, shocked.

"Not for myself, you understand," he grinned. "I was thinking of you girls."
