In the beginning, somewhere on an island or peninsula in the Indian Ocean, Sarah isn't sure; a DNA-cloning experiment of creatures from the Mesozoic era went terribly wrong. All of them were to be killed. However, one new baby sauropod was too new to be entered in the inventory, and its handler couldn't bear to see it destroyed. So, somehow the handler escaped with the infant and spent many weeks or months at sea. (Again, Sarah isn't sure. But one thing she is sure of is her handler was very diligent at protecting and feeding her.) He was also a genius in linguistics and sign language. During this long period of closeness between the two, they learned to communicate using both signs and sound. As Sarah grew, the vocabulary and imaging grew apace. They ended up in the United States and the handler ensconced her somewhere in a national preserve in the southeastern U.S. To protect her from being threatened or harassed, the few who know are pledged not to reveal her last location.
BELOW IS THE ONLY KNOWN PICTURE OF SARAH
Her handler as recently left us. However, her handler left a journal with a trusted friend who has authorized publishing some of the insights and quotes from the journal.
One of the first things Sarah said was "Thank you for saving me and taking care of me." After a year or so in "her forest," she was almost fully developed (even though she continues to grow all the time, and at her rate of growth, is probably actually an Ultrasaur - the largest living dinosaur ever). By this time she had been fully educated in her era, ancestors, lifestyle, dangers, etc. She once said "I'm glad I am a herbivore - those carnivores are very nasty, much as those alligators and crocodiles are today. Carnivores have no redeeming value and it's a good thing the Mesozoic ones are extinct."
She also rejected any notion her name should be Susan, as a reference to the famous T-Rex "Sue." I want no part in glamorizing a stupid, small-brained beast that is nothing but a killing machine and scavenger. I am just the opposite - kind, gentle, and with my two brains, smart enough to have a social conscience and to know right from wrong," "...there isn't a mean bone in my body, and I'm proud of it."
She also bragged, "...after millions of years of developing; my mouth, lips, and tongue are so magnificently articulated that I can pick a single tiny berry or a large cluster of leaves without hesitation." "...And, my fully articulated and sensuous neck can get in any position instantly so I can flick a gnat off a fly's wing or smash a raptor in mid-flight." "...My articulated tail can smite a horrid T-Rex into a new era; and, don't ever think that after a few million years those stupid T-Rex types would stop messing with us; but that just proves what hopeless idiots they are."
She was also adamant about her looks..." "...And, DON'T CALL ME LONGNECK!" "...I'm a LADY, and I have a beautiful neck!" In fact, she sighed once and said "...I wish those scientists would clone me a boyfriend; my hormones have kicked in Big Time! - If they do clone me a boyfriend, we will give new meaning to the term "necking."
One more observation from Sarah: "Some humans are okay, but far too many have a defective T-Rex type gene--a carnivore gene. Their children are barely interested in us gentle, peaceful herbivores but get all excited over killers, especially that vicious T-Rex. The adults are worse. I spent some time near St. Augustine, Florida, and they honor a war criminal, Pedro Menendez--they even named a high school for him!"
Recently a new human friend has taken over the pleasure of chronicling Sarah's sojourns and occasionally releasing more about Sarah. Some of her forthcoming adventures will include her rescue and law enforcement work for the Forest Service.
