It's not easy moving something as unpredictable as a Dinosaur from one side of the planet to another.
This one's not even very big. But still, it's a loaded operation.
First of all, you've got to catch it. Tricky. Especially when it's wild and unappreciative of the interference of the human race. It is, surprisingly, not the most violent of creatures, despite it's occassional lapses. But the truth of the matter is this particular dinosaur likes to eat chips and rarely bites anyone it doesn't recognise. However, it still needs to get shipped back to the other side of the world and it turns out it really doesn't want to go.
But it has to.
So if you survive backing said creature into a corner and boxing it up ready to fly across the continents then you're half way there. The unexpected problems occur at the other end.
What does one do with a box of angry dinosaur?
Would *you* open that box?
Unfortunately it can't stay in there forever and, like it or not, it's going to cause havock when it first comes out into it's new home. But, with any luck, it won't take long to settle in and realise things really aren't so bad. There's plenty of chips here for a start. ...Right?
When people ask what it's like to be back home I don't really know what to say. And neither does the Dinosaur. Ask again in a couple of months. One of us surely will have remained sane enough to let you know.
