History
James was born and raised in the Gold coast (a city on the eastern side of Australia). But his family moved further south near bushland. After going through school and university he became a zoo keeper and a Palaeontologist. sometime later he arrived at Prehistoric park, to work and learn more about prehistoric life. Through a twist of fate he met Jackson, a fellow keeper going through mental problems. James helped Jackson often through jokes, cupcakes and once, milk. Later he went on his first mission: Early cretaceous South America. Although he didn't help much, he still enjoyed seeing the past. When he arrived back to modern times he saw his best friend, Jackson, dead. He had been ripped apart by the parks Tyrannosuchus. The next month James stayed in his cabin, only getting out for work. Until near Christmas he delivered his Christmas cupcakes James got a delivery. Jackson had left behind a Gastornis egg he smuggled from the Eocene mission for James. When it hatched he named the female Gastornis baby, Luna, after the MLPFIM character. He has since been looking after her.
