The Great Salt Marsh had seen many things in its million-year history, but it had never seen anything quite like T-Rex Terrence and his tiny companion, Barnaby the Bullfrog.
The midday sun beat down. Most creatures would have retreated to the shade, but Terrence and Barnaby were locked in a "flow state."

Terrence’s tiny arms were waving in the air—a move that looked ridiculous but felt magnificent. He had discovered his true calling: interpretive dance.
