The Sinraptor chases the Epidexipteryx. (Feathered Dragons)

A juvenile Sinraptor was seen stalking an Epidexipteryx looking for food in a log. As the target noticed, the Sinraptor attacked. However, the Epidexipteryx hid inside the log. Even though the log was impregnable, the Sinraptor remained adamant. As it appeared the Sinraptor had given up, the Epidexipteryx scurried to exit the log but the Sinraptor ambushed it. As the Sinraptor was temporarily stuck in the log, the Epidexipteryx ran. As soon as it escaped, the Sinraptor followed in hot pursuit. However, the Epidexipteryx escaped by climbing a tree. The Sinraptor then left.

Later, as another larger Epidexipteryx ate a beetle grub off of the forest floor, the Sinraptor reappeared and swiftly killed the dinosaur. The Sinraptor then left.
