Hi! I'm Traumador The Tyrannosaur
"I may only have a brain the size of a peanut... wait what was I saying again?"
Welcome to My Life
Rather than bore you with a long life story, I thought I'd share some of the memorablia I've collected from my many adventures.
Like all (good?) stories mine has a beginning. Only unlike most others that claim it, my story really does start a LONG time ago!
When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth!!!
It was back at the hey day of my kind that I originate from. 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, to be precise.
I was born...
Now I can't tell you details about it, for obvious reasons, but my egg was lain in prehistoric Alberta.
Something REALLY bad happened!!!
Then a few weeks or months after my egg was laid, the Dinosaurs went extinct...
I didn't notice
Yet somehow I survived, after a fasion. My egg was buried, but despite all logic this did NOT kill me. Rather put me into a slumber through the ages (and pre-ages!). Millions and millions of years. You know come to think of it, I was really bored!!!
I was discovered
Despite all the odds against it, when I was finally uncovered my egg hatched, and I found myself a Dinosaur in the modern world...
The Explorer
My discoverer was a tour guide named Craig who fashioned himself a palaeontologist. However up until the day he found me, his ambition hadn't gone so well. I wonder if he wishes his luck hadn't changed after finding me?
Being a Dinosaur in the modern era, I didn't growup like any other Dinosaur before me...
I was raised by humans
Craig took me into his home, and as of such i grewup to think more like a mammal most of the time, and not a tyrannosaur...
My First Roommate
Dan also lived in our house, and unlike Craig, he often didn't like the problems and mischief i'd get into
My Mom
i would encounter my mother, after a fashion, only she'd been long dead. only her skeleton remains today, but i guess it's better than nothing.
My Play Mates
When I finally met and made friends with some other Dinosaurs, I of course picked the oddest Dinosaurs a T-Rex could hang out with!
Sadly I couldn't just sit around the house eating and playing video games forever... I eventually entered the work force. The number of jobs avaliable to a Dinosaur are pretty limited though...
I ended up at the local museum
Fortunately my hometown is home to one of the best Palaeontology museums in the world! So I got a job there...
I learned all thing Palaeontology
Naturally while at the Tyrrell I picked up some scientific know how and skills!
The girl of my dreams...
I fell in love with the museum's star attraction, Lillian the Albertosaur... Not that she returned the feelings back in those days!
Till I was fired...
The museum had too many Dinosaurs wanting to work there. So due to me being me, I was one of the ones let go...
The Tyrrell was a huge part of who I was early in my life. Without it I needed a new direction...
There were too many other Dinosaurs...
Unfortunately Drumheller was just overrun with other Dinosaurs. So I wasn't going to be able to stay there, and make a name for myself.
So I tried to find my own space...
I travelled across BC thinking I was travelling back in time. Only later would I find out BC in Canada stands for British Columbia!
I needed help...
Larry the Tyrannosaur
I moved!
To New Zealand
I'm a big deal to the Government!
I work at a museum...
My (almost) secret origin!
Nearly a hundred years ago, the mysterious fossil hunter Francis Slate nearly uncovered my egg. For some reason he left me there in badlands. forced wait for someone else to uncover me...

Those are some pretty birds, Traum!! NZ is sure is a Beautiful place to live, dude!
By the way, I hope you've considered my idea about how to escape. I think you could up a fight against those poachers as a young Tyrannosaurid.
And, if you need inspiration and encuoragement, think of Lillian and think of Sue down here in the United States! She was a fighter and so of you like the rest of your species! I'm rootin' for ya, Traum!! :)
