Zalmoxes by a Garden Crop

A plant-eating Zalmoxes spends time near a vegetable patch filled with garden beds and an open sack of crops. Surrounding trees frame the open ground where vegetables grow.

Discovering Zalmoxes and Root Vegetables

Zalmoxes was a small herbivorous dinosaur that lived on Hateg Island in ancient Transylvania during the Late Cretaceous period. Due to island dwarfism, this herbivore grew much smaller than many of its mainland relatives. Turnips and similar root vegetables thrive in moist, cool soil, storing rich energy underground.
