My game will have a dark and bright background. It will have some small animals like rodents or lizards.It will have some small shrubs and a few skinny trees and some sand dunes. These objects will make it feel like a real desert. The sun will be setting on the right side on top of a dune. Maybe some tumbleweed on the desert floor and large cactus's in some corners.

In the sand I will hide the bone parts of a legendary spinosaurus. It will be scattered across the plain. Under a rock, in a cactus, behind a sand dune. I will hide the bones in many places that it will be hard to look at.
I might try to add some sounds. Maybe the roars of a spinosaurus or old western showdown, maybe the sound of a tumbleweed going across the wind, or the simple sound of the wind rushing by.

Fact 1: The spinosaurus was smarter than most dinosaurs at the time and could probably run on its two feet. 

Fact 2: The Spinosaurus was in fact the largest of all meat eating dinosaurs.They were vicious and could probably take down some of the huge herbivores of the time. 

Fact 3:They were roughly 50 feet long and 20 feet high, that is much bigger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex. They weighed up to possibly 18 thousand pounds.

Fact 4:The spines which came out of the back of the dinosaur’s vertebrae oddly resembled a sail. Similar to the plates coming out of the back of a stegosaurus, the spine probably diffused heat creating a controlled climate in its body.

Fact 5: Spinosaurus head was long and narrow just like a crocodile and had small but very sharp teeth. It lived in African shorelines where it ate small dinosaurs and aquatic animals.

Fact 6: Spinosaurus means "spiny lizard".



Describe what kind of objects you could hide for this game: In my game I will hide some bone parts of a spinosaurus in a desert so it will make it hard to locate the bones. 





Describe what you game scene might look like:
I think it will look like a desert with barely any large types of plants and small animals that match the scene. i will also hide most of the bones on the sand so it will be harder to locate and collect the bones.

Dirty River

I noticed that they added a key in it so when you find an object it takes it off the key and also that the items were very well hidden mainly because some were the color of the things they were hiding behind, some were clear so it was challenging but its was fun. The graphics were well done which made it beautiful. The game also has a score bar which really I don't see the point in having one because they really don't mean anything but it shows that they put work into it. 

Texas Endangered Species

There are many wildlife species that are endangered and are protected by the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). There are 145 animals that are endangered, 29 mammals, 32 fish, 24 snake and other reptiles, 13 frogs, toads, salamanders, and 17 endangered invertebrate species. Some mammals of the endangered list are the red wolves and the gray wolves or the jaguar, the ocelot, and the jaguarundi. The remaining 17 red wolves were taken into breeding programs. 

Above is a picture of a Red Wolf that is endangered

Birds like the red cockaded woodpecker, the whooping crane, and the golden-cheeked warbler are all endangered species. 

Disappearance of these animals are caused by hunting, pollution, or loss of habitat. Since animals are being hunted or dying of hunger or loss of their home, they cannot reproduce. 

Red Cockaded Woodpecker

Red Cockaded Woodpecker are becoming extinct due to the loss of their habitats. Because of this they focus on there nesting sites and protect them. 

The size population has grown but its still endangered species, parts of deciduous in eastern Texas have been locked down and keeps people out from anything that could harm the bird or its habitat.
