Really? Didn't know that, thanks. I assumed it was in latin partly because almost all existing species are named in latin. And I know the "rex" from Tyrannosaurus Rex is latin. But on thinking about it the names don't really look or sound very latin.
I'm messing mate - they're a bit of a hodge-podge of Greek and Latin but on the whole it's mostly Greek that's used. IIRC - from the dawn of my BSc. pre-history - it's because living and recently (in relative terms) extinct creatures are named binomially (ie. in Latin, genus then species - eg. Homo Sapiens) but because dinosaurs are so archaic and have so many missing links it's hard to do it this way for them so Greek's used to illustrate their properties as opposed to their full scientific names, eg. pachycephalosaurus - pachy (thick) cephalo (head) saurus (lizard).

I love absolutely useless information :lol:

Howdy,

having just basic knowledge about Dinos and what got stuck from childhood I had to look up what Dinos actually existed during that time period and I found some interesting ones.

First, Apatosaurus, which I really like to see, doesn't fit. Well, doesn't matter, Dear Devs, donn't waste those 8 hours you get every day with sleeping, get back to work and build a new - let's just call it reserve- may be a Jurassic one this time. :shock:

Ok, for the Dinos:

Galliminus was mentioned and I must say I like the idea.

Elasmosaurus could be brought for the coastal areas.

Pterodactylus would be nice.

Anatotitan doesn't really fit on this island except a few areas, but could be a nice addition.

Goyocephale in herds could be quite challenging.

Titanosaurus as a larger one would also be interesting.

But most of all: Please, let them Herbivores in Herds. Strolling through the woods and finding just one Triceratops is somehow weird.

Good hunt and don't feel all chewed up ;)

Here's what dinos I would add. Some of these would require a lot of work.

Compsognathus
Small chicken sized dinosaur that hunts you in packs of 4-6
Spoiler:

Parasaurolophus
Dinosaur that can be found in groups up to 10. When in danger, you can hear them making low sounds to alert others.
Spoiler:

Image
Microraptor
Small and harmless chicken sized dinosaur that glides from tree to tree.
Spoiler:

Dilophosaurus
Just one thing. NO spitting and NO neck frill
Spoiler:
Image
Stegosaurus
Would just be so cool to see those plates turn red when in danger.
Spoiler:

Epidexiteryx
Harmless and tiny

Amphicoelias
Largest dinosaur ever discovered.

Amphicoelias is obviously largest one in the picture
I don't want to make this list too long, so I'll leave it there.

Rhinorex Condrupus, also known as the Schnozzosaurus because of its huge nose. The bigger the nose, the more points its worth.

Some people keep suggesting the largest dinosaurs ever found.

What are you going to hunt them with? Bazooka's, tanks and helicopters?

Or shoot them 3750 times with a .308?

While the huge dinosaurs are cool, I don't really see how they would be fun to hunt.

Gotta be dinosaur that we can, with reasonable firepower and manpower, actually bring down.

Sarcosucus the 50 foot Super Croc and Pterosaurs. Dimetrodon would be cool too. I would also like to see micro raptors as some small stuff that could bite and injure you but not easily kill you. Sauropods too of course and hadrosaurs.

I would definitely want a spinosaurus or a baryonyx.

For herbivores, I'd say stegosaurus :D

Oh, oh! Dimetrodon would be totally awesome! I know it's not techically a dinosaur, but it would be cool nonetheless. :)
