I'm just finishing a book called Raptor Red about a Utahraptor that lived a couple of (million) years ago in North America.
It's written from the viewpoint of a dinosaur who knows herself as Raptor Red. It's a very interesting way to write a book concerning an animal that learns many things such as what's good to eat and what's not, but of course doesn't talk, even to herself. She mainly has feelings, some vague and some strong, though she is extremely smart. Their are also other dinosaurs and animals she meets and he tells a great deal of interesting information about them.
This book was written in 1995 by Robert T. Bakker who is a paleontologist in his everyday work.
Did you ever read this book?
I couldn't find a picture, but this one is funny of two raptors on display at the Calgary Alberta airport. I believe those two dinos are baggage handlers.

@misunderstood_zombie Most libraries over here are able to lend ebooks, so I haven't checked out many other sites

Yes, I was reading about him that he was the first to put out this theory. I go to a website on my kindle called openlibrary.com and they have a lot of older books on there to read. Sometimes they are hour loans but you can renew the loan when you feel like reading again.

@Ronrybs Yes, our libraries are the same here, but they usually don't have older titles. I don't know why.

I haven't read this book. Maybe it's not available in our country. This book must be interesting, I believe.

It could be out of print, it's close to 30 years since it's been published.

For some reason, lately I like book where people time travel back to dino times, but this one was very unique without time travel.
