swarmed by slashers

The juvenile kong burst from its hiding place, but as he raced toward his fallen mother, a swarm of slashers boiled over him. The creatures leaped at him, clung to him, ripping his limbs with razor-sharp teeth and claws. The young kong whirled wildly as he tried to rip them from his body until he fell backward over a gnarled root, writhing into the undergrowth amid a cacophony of animal shrieks and breaking branches.
…
A furious roar! The larger meat eater leaped back from its feast as a dark, hurtling blur slammed into it. Ishara felt the rubble hard against her belly and chest as she tried to flatten herself into the ground. The young kong was not dead—and it clearly thought this creature had killed its parents. It rained thunderous blows on the flesh eater, slamming its body against a tree and smashing its fists hard into the creature’s head and chest. The dinosaur fought back, but the young kong grappled with it, and they tumbled toward the gaping maw of Skull Mountain. The dinosaur rolled free, roared, and kept the enraged kong away by wildly snapping its jaws and kicking out with its massive hind legs.
