triceratops corpse

But Kong had pried up another mass of hardened asphalt, the largest one yet, and he crashed his weapon onto his foe with such force that the triceratops fell to its knees as if poleaxed. Somehow, desperately, it managed to rise to meet Kong’s onslaught. Without hesitation Kong grabbed its massive skull. For a moment the two brutes stood, straining and frozen, as the ceratopsian fought with its last ounce of energy to resist Kong’s hold. Kong roared, his muscles rippling in one supreme effort as he yanked upward with such force that the other creature’s entire body shook. The pistol-shot crack of its breaking neck echoed sickeningly, making Driscoll wince.
Kong towered above the carcass, pounded it with such rage that ribs snapped like sticks. He tattooed his chest uncontrollably before looking around as though to dare any creature to challenge him.
