Ava the Apatosaurus

Ava is an independent little dinosaur who loves nothing more than going on a thrilling adventure! She first hatched in western Laurasia (now North America) in the late Jurassic period, so she isn’t entirely sure how she got to present day Britain, but she is excited to explore her new surroundings!
