Recent decoding of Philosorapture discs found in the fossilised UFO discovered in recent years at Coober Pedy has revealed a different picture. Trained by the Philosoraptures as guard dogs, their records show that these creatures were fast hunters who could hop like kangaroos at an alarming speed and high enough to bring down unwary Pterodactyls. They could cover 50 metres in one bound, leap over tall trees and generally make a damn nuisance of themselves, which is why Stegosaurs had to grow defensive spines on their backs.
That the kangaroo means of locomotion is similar is not surprising as the records disclose that kangaroos are actually miniature genetically modified bonsai T-Rexes, a first stage in turning predatory carnivores into intelligent and placid herbivores.
Unfortunately, the process was disrupted before completion by opposition frommilitant greens amongst the Philosoraptures, who equated primitive ignorance with virtue and bliss, with its inherent closeness to nature and plant and insect life - in fact, the very condition many militant greens find themselves in. Accordingly, apart from genetically modifying these bonsai dinosaurs into mammals, kangaroos were left at one intellectual rung above their usual prey, the Australian native grasses.
