CHARACTERS

	Saro He is the leader of the group and has the innate gifts of an explorer. It is he who takes important decisions such as the choice of path to follow to get to the meteorites, or a place to rest and spend the night. Some of the quarrelsome members of the group keep him rather busy, but his strong and determined personality brings them to reason. Endowed with a vivid curiosity, he likes to swim in shimmering waters, where he serves as the group's team leader.
	Ranu For sure, his most obvious quality is his huge appetite. He is more likely to settle down in an area rich in food, rather than keep on the go, as his friends demand of him. He is the one who supplies the group with food, thanks to his never failing “nose”. He has become a friend of a "glowwormsaurus" that sleeps during the day, wrapped in his own tongue, and who brightens the roads for our friends at night.
	Stego He is a stegosaurus cub. He comes across as a kind-hearted and mild character, but changes immediately when he is provoked or something happens to his friends. Because of his massive and armoured structure, he is sent, not without some objection, to reconnoitre in the most impervious places and is used as a "catapult" during moments of danger. He has one defect, however... he always falls asleep during the most inappropriate moments, creating trouble for his friends. But he also has a great talent- an inexplicable knack for knowing about things from bygone periods, which his friends completely ignore.
	Bronto He is a brontosaurus cub. He is the one that suffers most from the absence of his parents. He often thinks about them and not always manages to hold back tears. Because of his mild temperament, he often becomes the target of Ranu’s jokes, who never misses the chance to seize the occasion. He frequently suffers from mirages, mistaking his larger "cousins" for the most absurd things- this annoys his friends to death, who face great difficulty in holding him at bay. He still holds onto his egg, half of which serves as his "hat", while the other acts as his pair of "shorts." Should circumstances warrant, he doesn't hesitate to curl himself up into a definsive ball to get out of dangerous and/or embarassing situations.
	Nunzy She basically is a glow-worm-saurus, or " proto-firefly", and a friend of Ranu who lives and sleeps curled up in his tongue (instead of turning into a tasty little morsel). At night she is the “lighthouse” that guides our cubs. Despite her little size, Nunzy is brave and tries to be helpful in every situation.
	Saùro - the Sage of the Red Mountains An enormous dinosaur, burdened with age and wisdom, that lives up in the Red Mountains inside a cave that opens with a view of the sea. He is the spiritual and practical guide of our heroes. It is he to whom the little dinosaurs turn after every adventure, to tell of their experiences and listen to his wise advice. The Sage uses a sort of a magic as old as the night of the times. He is also a clairvoyant thanks to the “source of remembrances” – a well of water through which he can see present, past and future.
	Nichus He is Sage Saùro’s disciple... an agile and thin dinosaur that can make the best of any situation. He has a “Y”-shape tail that indicates his mood. However, he also uses it for various other things, such as scratching his forehead (when he is too busy gesticulating), as a support to lean on after a long walk, or as an actual third hand! He often guides the young dinosaurs in their search of new meteorites to the leap in time, under direction of the Sage of the Red Mountains... but not always without difficulties!
