[plush nacelle]

Mau said he would put these in terrarium.

[toxic oriole]

Me either, though I can do some 2d animation I havent done it in a while

[median relic]

another silly mammal I want is synthetoceras

[sharp dock]

He confirmed or he just said if they were to be added he would put them there

[toxic oriole]

... If they DO confirm Arthropleura, I wish the animators serious good luck

[silver steeple]

Would be fun

[sharp dock]

which obviously is the logical take since mini exhibits are intended to house stuff that doesn't work as habitat well

[plush nacelle]

Latter

[silver steeple]

I'd love to have more "small" (deer-ish) sized mammals

[toxic oriole]

Would be nice to have some Whale Ancestors (The animals BEFORE they became full on whales)

[sharp dock]

I kinda prefer if PK keeps ungulate hell at bay

[sharp dock]

thanks for clarifying what a whale ancestor is

[median relic]

yes

[sharp dock]

I guess you missed the part were indohyus is theorized to be one of the coming mini exhibit animals

[median relic]

also one of those extinct pronghorns would be neat maybe

[sharp dock]

which one

there are like 8 or so

[plush nacelle]

Propalaeotherium sweep

[median relic]

bro come on synthetoceras is at least unique

[silver steeple]

Tetrameryx imo

Funny guy

[toxic oriole]

Were there any ancient Pigs?

[median relic]

you automatically jump to "ungulate hell"

[sharp dock]

syntheto is cool but if we were to get a proceratid it would be syndyoceras as it comes from the same formation as daeodon

or at least that's what I expect

[median relic]

megalochoerus 🔥 🔥

[sharp dock]

tf is that

[median relic]

the real hell pig

[plush nacelle]

Imagine gastornis - small horse mixed exhibit

[sharp dock]

that's just a pig, pass

[median relic]

BRUH

[sharp dock]

that would be nice, I really hope we get messel peeps

[median relic]

It might be the biggest synapsid omnivore

come on it's awesome

[toxic oriole]

I don't know if Pigs and Boars are the same animal, all I know is that one was domesticated and the others in the wild

[sharp dock]

Gastornis with Eurohippus and leptictidium.... cuties

altho I guess leptic would be a mini exhibit

[median relic]

pigs are just domesticated boars, as dogs are domesticated wolves

[toxic oriole]

Huh, same case with domesticated cats and wild cats

A specific wildcat I think

[sharp dock]

also wait wasn't the messel gastornis reclassified as diatryma or im wrong

[median relic]

also put priority on dimetrodon ofc but I want secodontosaurus too 🙏

[left spear]

Not an unanimous concensus if not mistaken

[toxic oriole]

Is... Is that a crocodile-like animal with a sail?

[sharp dock]

aw

well

[toxic oriole]

Oh right, something about Pseudosuchians n stuff

[sharp dock]

I prefer Diatryma a lot more so I will pretend the side that supports it is right :)

(diatryma rolls better than gastornis also carnivores nostalgiabait)

[median relic]

secodontosaurus is a dimetrodon relative

so it's a stem mammal

far from pseudosuchians

[toxic oriole]

Oh its an example of convergent evolution going off the head shape

I think

At least in that artwork

[sharp dock]

it's a weird guy

[median relic]

yes a lot of animals that catch aquatic prey develop long jaws

[sharp dock]

during the paleozoic everyone and their mom grew a sail anyway

[median relic]

it's so funny

I genuinely wonder though what was it for

my gut would say display, but we know baby dimetrodon hatched with a fully developed sail 💀

[toxic oriole]

Thats a mystery that has yet to be figured out

[sharp dock]

they used it to fly

[toxic oriole]

Real question is HOW THE HELL CAN THE EGG HOLD A BABY DIMETRODON IF IT HAS THE SAIL ALREADY?

[sharp dock]

possibly because the sail would be soft

[median relic]

ofc

[toxic oriole]

yeah that makes sense

I disappear now

[median relic]

the sail started as soft and bendy like baby porcupines

[sharp dock]

like a caterpillor

[median relic]

still that implies to me it couldn't have been primarily for display

even ankylosaurs don't seem to have had their clubs right out of the egg, which adds up when we find out it was for sexual combat
if dimetrodon's sail had a similar function (not in combat ofc, but you get what I mean) you'd think babies wouldn't have them fully developed right from the get-go

[low bridge]

Gazelle Camel Stenomylus and Giraffe Camel Aepycamelus

Prolibytherium is the Neatest animal for Prehistoric Kingdom

Let's be real

Sivatherium with Bramatherium as Alt sp

[sharp dock]

anyway im bored so Im gonna make a list of mini exhibits I would like, for the sake of simplicity I will just list 12
Arboreal

• Meganeura
• Mekosuchus
• Coelurosauravus
• Plesiadapis
  Amphibious
• Hibbertopterus
• Indohyus
• Beelzebufo
• Arthropleura (it swam ok)
  Burrow
• Leptictidium
• Diictodon
• Peltephilus
• Oryctodromeus

[hollow flower]

Seems most terrestrial animals that have serpentine shapes will be minis

Well

Behave like minis

[sharp dock]

idk why you felt you had to correct that

[hollow flower]

Oh im not correcting

[lean hound]

Cave elephant

[sharp dock]

the first sentence was correct

[hollow flower]

I mean

Yeah fair enough

[hollow flower]

A must have for the recently extinct pack I believe is the Great Auk

[hollow flower]

Brilliant

[heavy scarab]

I just want to see the Passenger Pigeon as an arboreal terrarium animal

[low bridge]

I want Argentavis, Pelargornis

Teratornis

[flint sable]

like

if we are just limiting ourselves

to either fully terrestrial, semi aquatic, or small enough to fit in a mini exhibit for fliers?

at the very least in the realm of 500

very likely more

[left spear]

Even tho that includes uninteresting ones there's probably still like 150 very interesting and cool candidates

[flint sable]

i mean like

a good 100 of them are probably hawaiian birds lol

which is really unfortunate

[flint sable]

maybe not that many but at the very least around 30

[left spear]

Oceanian in general

But yeah

Well Hawaii is technically euroasiatic bur you know what i mean

[flint sable]

so yeah thats sad

in reality its probably a little less than i think about it, but at the absolute minimum is 200

[left spear]

Yeah

Oceania alone could have a like 20 mini species DLC and still have quite a few left

Also while it's very obvious why It won't happen that giant gecko would be fun

[flint sable]

i mean

mini exhibits exist for a reason

it would definitely not be a top pick but it would be kinda cool

[left spear]

That's not the problem

Thing is we don't know from where It is

[flint sable]

yeah we do

new caledonia

[left spear]

There's 2 candidates tho

New zealand is possible aswell

[flint sable]

assuming your talking about Gigancarnum

[left spear]

Also nah, thing's cool asf

[left spear]

The iguana sized one

[flint sable]

its theorhetically possible, but with genetic testing it matched up very closely with the new caledonian geckos

and is more distant to the new zealand ones

[flint sable]

yeah, so Gigancarnum

recently it was in Hoplodactylus but it got moved like last year iirc

[left spear]

Ah nvm i didn't know there was a 2023 dna study

Ok new caledonia then

[flint sable]

I mean in all fairness

I think there is a semi decent chance it might be alive still

dont call me crazy but like

[left spear]

Eh

[flint sable]

nobody really has looked for it

[left spear]

60cm tho

[flint sable]

and plus we found the Terror Skink in basically the same place where Gigancarnum was from

which is 50cm long

so

its highly unlikely but possible IMO

[left spear]

And new caledonia is kidna small, not saying it's totally impossible, but i think it's only slightly more likely than like papuan tasmanian tigers

[flint sable]

and plus the Terror Skink was also first described about the same time and then just completlely thought to be extinct for like 110 years

because nobody really bothered to even look lol

[left spear]

Okay i didn't even know this thing existed and i'm now depressed

[flint sable]

like

[left spear]

Fucking rats

Or whatever It is this time

Cats maybe

[flint sable]

it wouldnt be the first time we just find another giant ass reptile in New Caledonia

that was thought to be extinct for 100+ years

[left spear]

Ngl It would be funny if It was a nocturnal pseudo-troglobyte

Dumb idea but would be funny if that was the reason we havent found It still

[flint sable]

possible

the consensus is that it was probably nocturnal and arboreal

so thats another reason why it might not be found lol

[sharp dock]

It's Gigarcanum not gigancarnum

[flint sable]

sorry lol

[left spear]

I was refering more to the idea of It being a trogophile/trogloxene but yeah

[flint sable]

speaking of

[left spear]

Not surprised It would be nocturnal

[flint sable]

Gigarcanum has a greally fitting scientific name, (at least genus name) meaning something along the lines of Giant Mystery

[sharp dock]

and it's double the size of a giant gecko so #doubt

[left spear]

Btw imagine new caledonian troglofauna

[sharp dock]

I think it's pretty easy to figure out it means big arcane

[left spear]

Must be kidna wild

[flint sable]

i knew that giga meant big but i didnt realize arcane was in there untill you pointed it out

[left spear]

Btw a proteid mini could be fun

There was that pseudo Olm from like 25 mya

[plush nacelle]

That big one from hell creek

[left spear]

Also reminder you can potentially have kids younger than an olm

[plush nacelle]

Not proteid, but honestly similar

Habrosaurus?

[left spear]

Imagine having to wait 15 in game years for It to breed

[left spear]

Yes

It is a sirenid

Which yeah checks out

Name means elegants lizard which i can see aswell

Cool Guy overall, would like It as a mini

Very fragmentary sadly

Couple of vertebrae and jaw fragments/teeth if i'm not mistaken

[plush nacelle]

Stangerochampsa also would be nice. Silly little croco

[left spear]

Looks like a mix between armadillosuchus and a Chigutisaurid

[next saffron]

Is there any hope that we'll see these creatures in the game tho?

[plush nacelle]

There is always hope

[next saffron]

Hmm.

Anywhoozles, really weird idea here - what about extinct dog breeds like the Cordoba Fighting dog?

Or the hawaiian poi dog

[kind oriole]

That's as sensible as proposing tooth taxa

[next saffron]

Alright. Would proposing recently extinc animals like the falkalnd islands wolf or the hanyusuchus?

Or the hokkaido wolf

Ya know, animals that went extinct explicitely because of us

The Kauai o'o would be a cool terrarium animal

Or is that a bit too recent

Like, Aepyornis would be a cool creature

[left spear]

HW are a subspecies, and i would imagine Hanyu in another DLC, Falkland wolfs would be really cool tho.

[next saffron]

Or even Haast's eagle if flying animals are added

Also, I really think the game could do with a Troodon since it might actually be valid now

[left spear]

For a Troodontid use stenonychosaurus with a Troodontid sp alt as a proxy for the prince creek "troodon"

[next saffron]

How would Stenonycho look different from Velociraptor tho

[left spear]

As much as troodon would (size aside)

[next saffron]

Troodon is a bit bigger, right?

[left spear]

What we would call true troodon (Alaskan teeth and fragments) yes

Quite bigger

Probably slightly bigger than deinonychus

[next saffron]

I don't think Deinonycho has much chance of being added due to being too similar to what we already have

[plush nacelle]

Troodontids are build like paper compared to dromies. Short arms, long legs and slender

[lean hound]

^

Dromaeosaurs are more like wolves/coyotes while troodontids are more like foxes

[hollow furnace]

what

Why would the alaskan 'troodon' be "true troodon"

[hollow furnace]

Troodontids are quite different from dromeosaurids, they have longer, more slender legs, smaller 'killing claws', shorter arms, and wider skulls (think alligator vs crocodile) with bigger eyes

They're also probably omnivorous

[left spear]

True as in of troodon were to be formally named It would most likely be the prince creek one.

[hollow furnace]

no it would not

[quick ore]

honestly what this game truly needs... is more rhinos 😈

[sand quail]

and elephants

[quick ore]

I was saying moreso as a joke lol
BUT to be actually honest, if we were to get another rhino further down the line I think an early one would be good, like Hyrachyus or Menoceras. But they definitely aren't super necessary lol

elephants on the other hand should get more reps

[next saffron]

What about Australopithecus or even Homo Habilis?/j

I'd argue that australopithecines were more ape than man, so there shouldn't be that many ethical qualms surrounding them being kept in a zoo

[quick ore]

ok but the optics though

[next saffron]

wdym?

[quick ore]

they look too human

it brings to mind the examples of actual humans in zoos too much

[next saffron]

What about Gigantopithecus?

[quick ore]

that's just a big ape

[next saffron]

Surely, a big orangutan would be less problematic.

Though, we only have Gigantopithecus's teeth

[lean hound]

Anything that resembles humans more than modern great apes is where you cross the line imo (only looks wise, intelligence is a different story)

[silver steeple]

Devs have also gone on record with no homininae

[next saffron]

Okie dokes!

Would Gigantopithecus cross that line?

[sharp dock]

no

[lean hound]

in what way

for future animals?

[low bridge]

Yes

[next saffron]

What possible charcharodontosaurids outside of Giganoto could be added

[sand quail]

Concavenator is the best one I can think of. But I also think Mapusaurus and Tyrannotitan would be possible

[next saffron]

Ehh, they're too similar to Charcharodontosaurus and Giganotosaurus.

At least, Mapusaurus would be a Giganotosaurus variant

[autumn plover]

My thoughts on Giga is that it would have been the better choice for the game than Carch

but now that we have Carch it would be a bit redundant

we'll probably get it anyway at some point though due to popularity

[quaint plank]

Idk why we got either of them

[autumn plover]

I mean its not hard to understand

[quaint plank]

Acro was fine

Why give us more

[low bridge]

Why no one wants lesser tyrannosaurids like Daspletosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Nanuqusaurus

[lean hound]

are you joking

[quaint plank]

I want daspleto

Gorgo would be a fun alt for Alberto too

[median relic]

you're funny

yeah I want daspleto and alberto/gorgo

and, not a tyrannosaurid, but dryptosaurus

[outer moth]

It gets tiring

[median relic]

?

[outer moth]

He does this almost every day

[median relic]

wait I vastly misread the message

I missed the "why" 🥀 I thought you were declaring nobody wanted them

[outer moth]

Ppl want those

That's the point

Thing is those guys are definitely not lesser

Or at least 2 of em

[quick tartan]

I want more little guys tbh

https://tenor.com/view/mono-prehistoric-planet-mononykus-gif-26719063

my precious baby, my favourite NonAvian dino

[outer moth]

Pretty big to me

[low bridge]

Pinokio Rex when??

[outer moth]

Ngl I hope we discover more albertosaurines

Seems strange that there are only 2 species

[low bridge]

Qianzhousaurus

U know who is this

[outer moth]

We all know
Alioramins are pretty hard as a group since some of them seem to be the same species

[low bridge]

Guanlong whnn?

Maybe in Chinese pack he will be

[outer moth]

Someone got trigger happy with Alioramin names and now we gotta figure out if A.altai is a juniour synonym to A. remotus

Guan's got a chance if devs decide to re-add some of the older animals

[quick tartan]

I just want more cute lil guys. Teeny babies.

[hollow flower]

I must say

For the recently extinct pack

Things like Moa and the Haasts eagle probably should be in their own pack

for something like a New zealand pack

[slim flare]

Why

New Zealand has nothing but Holocene species

[quick tartan]

maybe a bird pack?
Moa, elepant bird, great auk, dodo and passenger pigeon

[hollow flower]

Now thats a pretty decent idea

Although the dodo is practically the icon of recently extinct creatures

[quick ore]

I don't think Pouakai can be terrarium animals either, they feel too big, would probably come with a flier dlc instead

[quick tartan]

my dream is to create the land before time gang

animals can have interspecies friendships irl after all

species idea. tiny fliers for pest control. Think oxpeckers in modern terms. pest eaters.

just, riding about on bigger dinos

[slim flare]

Saurolophus when

[quick tartan]

land before time is 100% the start of my love of dinos. Followed by WWD. Never got into JP. too much focus on humans.

[median relic]

elephant bird is a significantly less recent extinction than those others

[median relic]

not to that extent lol

[flint sable]

not nessicarily

only predate moa by about 400 years

dodo predates passenger pigeon by about the same ammount

[outer moth]

Can't wait for lagoons

I wanna make pliosaur and mosasaur lagoons

Or ig Aquariums would make sense here

Lagoons only fit if it's an island build

[autumn plover]

As far as Tyrannosauroids are concerned the most important ones are: T.rex (Tarbo alt), Albertosaurus (Gorgo alt), Yutyrannus, and potentially Alioramus (would love to see it, but we don't have an adult yet, which is kind of important for a group famous for huge changes in ontogeny when reconstructing an adult).

Daspletosaurus is a cool animal but feels too similar to a small Tyrannosaurus, whereas Alberto/Gorgo are actually from a different lineage and more distantly related to rex, so they would be better as a 2nd North American Tyrannosaur.

I wouldn't want any others tbh

[flint sable]

dryptosaurus?

[autumn plover]

If we’re gonna get a 2nd North American Tyrannosaur Albertosaurus is so much more iconic

If we’re gonna get a “weird/unique” one Yutyrannus is better

[silver steeple]

Tbh the "youngness" of Alioramus is a little overblown, it's quite close to being fully grown iirc Qianzhou is even closer though

[autumn plover]

Really?

I thought they were both immature asf

[silver steeple]

It's a "teen" basically

[autumn plover]

Well I mean

That’s still fairly immature

Tyrannosaurs are famous for going through huge changes

[silver steeple]

I hate to use the term subadult cause it's kinda thrown around a lot

[silver steeple]

Tyrannosaurini yes

Not really known thing for other tyrannosaurs tho

[autumn plover]

That’s fair enough

[silver steeple]

Not really

[autumn plover]

I’d prioritise Alioramus over Dryptosaurus then as well

[flint sable]

on the PK baby slider

what percentage would alioramus be at

just like as a frame of refference

[silver steeple]

Probably between 75-90?

[flint sable]

ok

nanotyrannus is a dryptosaurine trust

my source:

https://tenor.com/view/armstrong-made-it-up-gif-25653819

[autumn plover]

90% is pretty high tbf

More or less adult

At that point

[hollow furnace]

we have adult alioramus, just undescribed and in private collections

There's some images out there

[quaint plank]

https://tenor.com/view/bruno-bucciarati-arrivederci-sticky-fingers-jojos-bizarre-adventure-golden-wind-gif-13475341

[autumn plover]

I think I’ve seen the skull?

I thought it was all a hoax

[flint sable]

the people cannot handle alioramus at its full power

idk

[slim flare]

Bring it

[autumn plover]

This? @hollow furnace

[hollow furnace]

that's one of them I believe

[quaint plank]

I thought the shadow was a man in a suit

[autumn plover]

How reliable is that as a recon?

[hollow furnace]

as far as I'm aware it's pretty much complete

so... accurate

[quaint plank]

So did the nappoli paper ever release

[hollow furnace]

which one

[quaint plank]

The Nanotyrannus one

[hollow furnace]

The general ontogeny one, or a specific nanotyrannus one

[quaint plank]

I guess one on making it valid again?

Not sure

[hollow furnace]

that has not

and may not ever be a thing

as far as I can tell people have just sort of assumed there will be a follow up paper specifically on nanotyrannus

[autumn plover]

Bit of a hot take but I don’t really get the appeal of Nanotyrannus.

Alioramus is the same thing and actually real

[silver steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/final-fantasy-vii-remake-cloud-strife-tifa-lockhart-aerith-gainsborough-cloti-gif-27060423

[silver steeple]

Napoli has done no paper on any Nanotyrannus specimen

He released a Preprint (basically a paper pre-Peer Review) that discusses reptile ontogeny

All of which boils down to Nano likely being valid, but that is not the explict subject of the paper

You're probably conflating it with the upcoming paper on the histology of the Nano holotype's hyoid bone which shows that the animal was nearly fully grown

Understandable confusion as the hyoid paper's abstract released around the same time as the Napoli preprint

[median relic]

it's cool man

when it turns out to be real it may well replace gorgosaurus as my favorite tyrannosaur, and become one of my favorite dinosaurs

[quick tartan]

anyone else want some eocene weirdos? Esp like

since they have thsoe leptictidium fries

gotta ahve that sweet beast

[hollow furnace]

lepti seems very likely as a terrarium animal eventually

[quick tartan]

strange beast. I love it so much

I also really want eohippus. I actully have some early horse teeth.

[hollow furnace]

Uintatherium would be cool as well

[quick tartan]

yesssss strange beast!!!

[median relic]

yikes, you should get that checked out

[quick tartan]

anyone else want some Minorca fauna?

[sharp dock]

Myotragus and nuralagus would be cool yea

[left spear]

They coulybe in RE tbh

Well not nura

But myotragus yes

It's not even 3k years old

[sharp dock]

yah nuralagus is pliocene lol

[low bridge]

Maybe Exhibit for it to free roam

[plush nacelle]

Yes. Something like Merycoidodon would be nice. Very simple creature and extremely abundant in fossil record. Perfect 1 star critter and would go well with daeodon and hyeanodon

[quick tartan]

I just want more of the weirdos in general. not enough weirdos yet imo

like Teraterpeton, the "wonderful creeping thing"

who told you you could look like that?

[low bridge]

Giant Marabou Stork correct

[lean hound]

you can't give that many popular options and only allow one pick

[low bridge]

Changing that????

Corrected dude

Let's go voting

[sharp dock]

Kelenken and its not even funny

[lean hound]

if we could only get one group of birds in the game it would have to be the phorusrhacids for me

they're really cool and i know the devs would absolutely cook with them

[low bridge]

Hmm nobody voted Elephant Bird (Aepyornis Maximus)

Interesting

[hollow flower]

I like it

But its not as good as terror birds

[quaint plank]

I’m not a big fan

[heavy scarab]

When it comes to extinct birds the Terror Birds and the Dodo are always at the top of the list

[quaint plank]

I just want terror birds

[lean hound]

yeah I don't get the hype

[heavy scarab]

I think the Elephant Bird gets frequently overshadowed by the similar Moa.

[sharp dock]

moas are more iconic yeah, but both are epic animals in their own right

[hollow flower]

Id like to have both

But i would pick moas over it

[low bridge]

South/North Island Moa/Heavy Footed Moa, Little Bush Moa

[median relic]

you should be making polls out of multiple animals where we would only want one

because multiple of those birds can coexist in game

[hollow flower]

True

[median relic]

aepyornis and ornimegalonyx don't exactly fill a similar role

[hollow flower]

I was considering making a rating of the birds on that list

[median relic]

good idea

[hollow flower]

Before that il think what moas should be added

For certain there should be Dinornis

This is a guarantee

[median relic]

you could maybe have kelenken, phorusrhacos, and titanis as alts of each other, but if only one, you have to do kelenken.
Moas, get the south island giant with a north island giant alt
Ornimegalonyx, yes please
You can have argentavis/teratornis (preferrably argentavis) at the same time as pelagornis and haast's eagle, they are very different
Aepyornis of course, it is a famous record holder
Pachystruthio, ehhh we don't really need it
Leptoptilos Robustus, could be neat, but I don't think we need it either
Genyornis over dromornis.

[hollow flower]

After the two Dinornis species comes the question of if there should be more Moas

Because already the males make for decent examples of smaller Moas

The upland Moas sole good reason for being an addition is its remarkably good specimens

[median relic]

maybe you could have more moas

[hollow flower]

The bush Moas good as a mini exhibit animal

[median relic]

heavy footed moa would be funny

[hollow flower]

True

Its a smaller genus

and the crested Moa is also in the same genus

So Pachyornis it is

Now to begin with the ranking of that poll

[quick ore]

uh, no? it is also the last moa to go extinct

that gives it good reason to be chosen

it's just like why people want Homotherium

[median relic]

no

[median relic]

no??

[hollow flower]

Homotherium has alot more going for it

However

[median relic]

people want homotherium because of way more stuff

[quick ore]

ik it does but

that IS a factor

[hollow flower]

If we know the Upland moas colour then thats a pretty good reason to add it

[short rover]

no it is not. also homo was dead before smilodon was

[median relic]

I've never heard of it being a factor

yeah lol

[hollow flower]

We could have a Psittacosaurus sp. situation with it

Actually yeah

[median relic]

we want homo because it looks cool, fairly speciose iirc, may have hunted larger prey in groups, and seems to have been diurnal?

[hollow flower]

Also has a very large distribution

I personally dont know any other Eurasian machairodonts from the pleistocene

[plush nacelle]

Upland moa would have boreal biome, which is best reason to add it

[quick ore]

oh huh

I assumed it was the last because of the cub

[short rover]

cat dog

[median relic]

true!

[short rover]

homotherium and smilodon were around for thousands of years after the cub was alive

[quick ore]

my bad

but yes I DO know of the many reasons why Homotherium is based af I just assumed that its late survival was also a reason for wanting it in game

[hollow flower]

Homotherium is the only cat Id like to see in the game for awhile

[quick ore]

after Homotherium I would rather get different feliforms than more cats

[hollow flower]

Precisely

[sharp dock]

honestly I don't care about felids other than the ones we already have

[quick ore]

i said feliforms

aka like hyenas and such

[sharp dock]

ah

sooo dinocrocuta?

[hollow flower]

I thought something like Nimravids

Speaking of nimravids

How is Nimravis not a Nimravid

This is one of the most annoying things ive ever come across

[sharp dock]

u mean nimravus?

[hollow flower]

Nimravides

I got the names mixed up

either way

Very annoying

[sharp dock]

uhhhh sure

[median relic]

I'll have a barbourofelis please

[sharp dock]

I kinda don't get the point of having that

[hollow flower]

This is the thing with the two false sabre toothed cats

They look so similar to the Machairodonts

But theyre not due to classification

Theyre proper mimics

[quick ore]

Mauricio Anton art and Machairodonts, name a better combo

[hollow flower]

[hollow flower]

1. Phorusracids: Easily the most needed birds in the game, of them I would like Kelenken/Devincenzia alt, Titanis and Psilopterus

2. Large flying birds: This is a very vague category of birds, especially due to Pelagornis being included here. Due to this vagueness however, it ranks very high. Argent is a must due to being a vulture and being absolutely huge, Teratornis due to being from La brea, Pelagornis due to being so unique from everything else, and Haasts eagle due to being the largest eagle ever. Overall this group is very close to the N.1. spot, but doesnt quite make it.

3. Moas: Moas are overall the best Ratites to add due to their diversity, with large species like Dinornis having extreme sexual dimorphism, and smaller species having unique features like a crest. I believe Dinornis robustus/novazealandiae, Crested moa/Heavy footed Moa/Upland Moa alt are the best ones to be added.

4. Gastornithiformes: The original poll only had dromornithids but frankly not including Gastornis in there is a disservice. I would include Gastornis due to being a classic herbivorous bird, with the North american and european species, Dromornis due to being absolutely massive and with a Genyornis alt due to it being from the Pleistocene. Also throw in Vegavis for fun as a mini.

5. Ornimegalonyx: A highly unique animal and easily the best owl to add, especially due to its size and flightlessness.

6. Aepyornis: The second best Ratite to add, Aepyornis is the largest bird to ever live, and is fairly unique in terms of ratites. Living in Madagascar, having recently gone extinct, alongside being Utahraptor sized makes it a good addition.

7. Pachystruthio: The 3rd Ratite and probably the last one worth adding, Pachystruthio is a pretty good addition due to living in the pleistocene alongside early humans in Europe, along with being absolutely massive.

8. Giant marabou: While being fairly neat, it lacks things it could cohabit with unless they add the flores man.

[hollow flower]

In reference to this poll

[median relic]

teratornis is not needed if we have argent

[hollow flower]

That is fair

[nimble wedge]

I personally want camptosaurus as i think it would fit to be added to prehistoric kingdom with stegosaurus with a mix herding feature

the reason is because it would allow for mix herding to feel more real, as the two DID mix herd together

[low bridge]

Aepyornis Maximus egg weights 10kg

Hmm Heracles Parrot is neat also

[low bridge]

Don't hate this poll

[sharp dock]

atomic bomb vs coughing baby

[hollow flower]

I personally think it should be Kelenken with a Devincenzia alt

[low bridge]

What is the last pick?

[low bridge]

Oh you find my bird that runned away some time ago

[quick ore]

ik it is a silly reason but I would prefer the same species featured in Prehistoric Park

[plush nacelle]

Show one didnt even get species name 💀

Literally generic terror bird

[slim flare]

Where’s Psilopterus???

[hollow flower]

Also yeah

Psilopterus is a better pick than Andalagornis

[slim flare]

Titanoboa? Not in my Terrarium!

[hollow flower]

Youre gonna need a giga terrarium for Titanoboa

[steep crane]

Wonambi is my best choice.

[hollow flower]

Wonambis a pretty decent choice due to living with its pleistocene australian contemporaries

Gigantophis has merit due to living with all the eocene north african species

What would be the best birds to add that have a penguin like lifestyle?

For example in my opinion it would be Kairuku, Hesperornis and the Great auk

[lean hound]

Palaeeudyptes

[short rover]

its BOS not bison

for the millionth time...

[lean hound]

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-emoji-nerdge-gif-23738139

/j

[short rover]

id post that gif too if it wasnt the 4th time ive brought this up with EZ and hes acknowledged it too

[short rover]

what the hell is parkosaurus

[nimble wedge]

its a small ornithopod. It lived in alberta and canada 75 million years ago

[hollow flower]

Mostly known due to being in the WWD movie as a background creature

[short rover]

you mean Parksosaurus?

[nimble wedge]

if i could personally add just 3: id ad herrerasaurus, camptosaurus and parkosaurus

[short rover]

why parksosaurus

[nimble wedge]

oops

[nimble wedge]

add less well known dinosaurs. allow for EDUCATION

[short rover]

terrible mindset

imo

lesser known does not mean better

[hollow furnace]

Parksosaurus is just inferior Thescelosaurus

[short rover]

you can educate people plenty on dinosaurs no matter the species

[nimble wedge]

just thought it would fit well

[hollow flower]

Id like to know what makes this unique

[short rover]

also yeah if youre adding a thescelosaur just add thesc

[hollow flower]

Agreed

[short rover]

its cool, lived with rex, arm spurs, likely burrower

also thesc on its own is "lesser known" to like 99.9% of the planet

you could educate plenty of people on thescelosaurs with thesc ingame

[nimble wedge]

parksosaurus lived in canada, where most ornithopods dont

[short rover]

me when i lie

[hollow furnace]

Wdym most ornithopods don’t live in Canada

Most ornithopods in game currently are from Canada

[nimble wedge]

...

frick

i mean, thescelosaurus would fit better, but you can ad it as the alternate genus

[slim flare]

Edmontosaurus would like to know your location

[short rover]

i guess you could, i just dont see why

[nimble wedge]

oh shot

[hollow furnace]

Parksosaurus is technically not an ornithopod too

[short rover]

lol

[nimble wedge]

wait what???

[hollow furnace]

I actually wouldn’t mind that, could do a Para sort of deal

Two thescelo species + park

[short rover]

maybe

[nimble wedge]

agreed

[short rover]

but yeah thescelosaurs are closer to marginocephalians iirc

according to Fonseca et al

[hollow furnace]

Oh they are now?

[short rover]

ye

[hollow furnace]

I thought they were more basal than cerapoda

[short rover]

they are

more basal

theyre on offshoot early on

[hollow furnace]

They are not, split off before cerapoda (ornithopods and marginocephalians)

[short rover]

woops, read the tree wrong then

[hollow furnace]

All good haha, surprised me for a sec

[slim flare]

PK is going to need an “Other Ornithischian” section

[short rover]

or just a nursery section that says "idk lmfao"

[hollow furnace]

The real reason Thesc was scrapped

[nimble wedge]

charonosaurus is more related to blasisaurus than parasaurolophus

[short rover]

okay

[nimble wedge]

so either i would want herrerasaurus as another triassic animal, camptosaurus to mix herd with stegosaurus, or thescelosaurus and parksosaurus as alternate genus to add smaller ornithopods

[slim flare]

Heterodontosaurids too tho

[hollow furnace]

Heterodontosaurs were never in, and therefore could never have been scrapped

[slim flare]

I meant Heterodontosaurids are a reason to do it

[quaint plank]

All of them

[nimble wedge]

on my list?

[quaint plank]

Mhm

[silver steeple]

Not an ornithopod

[nimble wedge]

what is it then???

[silver steeple]

Thescelosaurids are neornithschians just outside of proper ornithopods

[short rover]

a basal ornithischian

[slim flare]

???

[short rover]

look at the tree i posted

[slim flare]

You mean proper ornithopods?

They’re still ornithischians

[short rover]

yeah theyre ornithischians

[hollow furnace]

No, they’re the ornithischian equivalent of herrerasaurus

[slim flare]

Are we not using this chart?

[short rover]

are thyreophorans not ornithischians??

[hollow furnace]

(They are, I’m joking)

[short rover]

oh

[slim flare]

You forgot the funny

[short rover]

https://tenor.com/view/ants-bindle-hobo-stick-sad-ant-gif-6604577456488723514

[hollow furnace]

Maybe the real funny was the friends I made along the way

[slim flare]

Then there is no real funny

[silver steeple]

Yes sorry, I mistyped

Edited

[hollow furnace]

Ah so Kulindadromeus is more basal than both cerapoda and thescelosauride in this tree

Interesting

[flint sable]

id personally want random glupshitto ray finned fish number 34 from the eocene please

[hollow valve]

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-gif-26722749

[steep crane]

To me it’s Smilosuchus.

[plucky mantle]

Smilosuchus not only has two very distinct species it's also enormous

[toxic oriole]

Wanting to make sure if Lisowicia hasnt been confirmed for PK

[flint sable]

whats a phytosaur chat

basal archosaurs right

[toxic oriole]

I don't even know

[flint sable]

it has been on the minds of the devs

it was on the Post EA Ideas List along with Placerias

but not explicity confirmed to be coming or anything

[toxic oriole]

Fair enough, I can tell it'd be a free-roamer given its size n stuff

(Maybe)

I dont even know how to pronounce dicynodonts in person

[hollow furnace]

Croc-looking archosaurs that aren't crocs

[toxic oriole]

Convergent Evolution moment

Throughout all of life, how many times has this happened?

[hollow furnace]

A lot

It's a very simple and very effective body plan

[flint sable]

ok so basically like

random thing that looks like a crocodile but isnt a crocodile number 37

actually

how many times has that design

actually converged

and im talking like

across all groups

even like fish to an extent

idk if Alligator Gar would count as converging on crocodillians buts its kinda similar

not really but kinda

would River Dolphins count or?

[quick tartan]

I mean... there was the walking swimming whale

[hollow flower]

Tbf this is from the most famous croc lookalikes and is also the largest

[silver steeple]

Is it really a croc lookalike

[sharp dock]

rutiodon my beloved

[silver steeple]

Or are crocs a phytosaur lookalike

[sharp dock]

both are <insert a third croc like group>

[silver steeple]

Tiktaalik lookalikes

[sharp dock]

also I'm the only one who would be excited about something like desmatosuchus? The idea of a herbivorous croc is so friggin cool in my eyes

[silver steeple]

I would love an aetosaur

[sharp dock]

freaky

[silver steeple]

There's one with a like spiked cloaca

[sharp dock]

ouch

[left spear]

Literally everyone would have a love anurysm if they suddenly anounced Desmato for EA.

[sharp dock]

death by

SNU SNU

[left spear]

(well atleast everyone with good taste)

[sharp dock]

The triassic is like

soooooooooooooooo cool

dinosaurs stealing the spot...

[silver steeple]

"Unlike all other aetosaurs, Typothorax possesses spiked osteoderms on the underside of the tail, near the cloaca."

[left spear]

Eh, if they're not exactly there it could be worse, they could be cats

[sharp dock]

spooky coochie

[sharp dock]

fat

[silver steeple]

Goofy fucker

[left spear]

Cotylorhynchus look-alike

Anything chonky and Goofy is a cotylorhynchus look-alike, non-stegosaur thyreophorans included

[silver steeple]

Better quality

[left spear]

What are the little Guys near their tail?

[silver steeple]

No clue

[left spear]

Also dude be eating mud

Dumb boi

[sharp dock]

Triassic non-dinos that would be welcome: 1 rauisuchid, 1 aetosaur, lisowicia uhhhhhh thats abt it I think

Silesaurus bad

[silver steeple]

Looked into it, given this guy is found in Chinle, my bet is probably Coelophysis but its also found in the same place as Gojirasaurus so that's possible as well

[silver steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/gohine-hohino-no-hohineee-gohineee-gif-17792172174678204487

Plus Silesaurids are dinosaurs

[left spear]

How can you look at this Kaimere ass looking thing and say it's bad.

[silver steeple]

Closest that dinosaurs ever got to being a deer

[quick tartan]

kongonaphon would be pretty cool, partially because the name is fun to say. But also because it's cute

[left spear]

Now i want to know what a "deet" would look like.

[sharp dock]

BAD!

[left spear]

Sounds cool but eh, look at this

[left spear]

Why

Too cool right?

[sharp dock]

Exactly, PK can't have cool dinosaurs :)

begone

[sharp dock]

idk I just prefer literally anything else there is in the triassic

[left spear]

Even erythrovenator?

[sharp dock]

Even. Eoraptor.

jk I just prefer the 3 options I said over sile

[sharp dock]

cuz they are genuinely cooler than some long legged basicosaurus

[left spear]

You can't love erythro more

[hollow flower]

God i hate that thing

Biggest gattungsmackery in history

[sharp dock]

Desmatosuchus, Posto/Sauro/Fasola, Lisowicia, the rest I don't really care

[hollow flower]

Id like a phytosaur

[left spear]

Eh posto and the other crocs should be separate

[plush nacelle]

What about tanystropheus?

[sharp dock]

Why

[hollow flower]

That too

[left spear]

Posto has such a different posture

[hollow flower]

Sauro and presto are the quadruped rauisuchids

[sharp dock]

fasola isn't?

[hollow flower]

It is too

[left spear]

Fasola is quadrupedal

[hollow flower]

I forgot to include it

[left spear]

Anyways we all know Barinasuchus is the superior quadrupedal terrestrial croc anyways

[hollow flower]

I am a huge triassic fan personally

[left spear]

Bad take detected, deploying meme counter measures.

[sharp dock]

all are rauisuchids so it doesn't matter which one we get

I literally couldn't care less about their posture

[hollow flower]

I think we should have Posto and Sauro with a Fasola alt

[left spear]

That's just like a genuine bad take

It's like comparing Alioramus and rex

[sharp dock]

Nah it isn't, it's a realistic take

[hollow flower]

Especially when Acro and Carch are already in game

[left spear]

The size also changes a lot

[sharp dock]

Or do you seriously believe they are gonna considering adding both a quadruped rauisuchid and a bipedal rauisuchid

like are you serious

[left spear]

2 rauisuchids isn't crazy, have posto base Game and fasola in a dlc

[hollow flower]

Precisely

[silver steeple]

I think its completely possible to get two

[sharp dock]

well I think it is, I want to keep my expectations in check

[silver steeple]

I just also think its not especially likely

[hollow flower]

It certainly didnt stop them from adding 2 rhinos

[silver steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-three-gif-19489818

[sharp dock]

besides that you are comparing theropods to a generally obscure group so I don't think it's a fair comparison at all

[hollow flower]

Well

[silver steeple]

4 if you count Juxia separate

Or I guess 5

[hollow flower]

Fair enough

[sharp dock]

like I could now just come up with some other random group thats nowhere close to being as known or popular among the public and make up the same excuse

[left spear]

Not as cute as the name would let you belive

[sharp dock]

with two random animals that individually might have chances but both are nowhere close being likely to be ingame

[silver steeple]

Coelodonta, Elasmo, Sino, Paracer (2 species at that), and Juxia

[sharp dock]

unless idk PK somehow becomes the animal maker god and they are now able to add a gajillion different animals without issue

[left spear]

/jk

[hollow flower]

Im gonna be honest

[left spear]

But like nah, we can get away with 2 rauis

[sharp dock]

you don't care about your own logic? aight

[left spear]

Not more

[hollow flower]

The rauisuchid disrespect is crazy

[sharp dock]

this is not disrespect

getting two rauisuchids in my eyes is not likely

[left spear]

It's a straight Up hate crime

[silver steeple]

Agreed

As much as I like them

I just don't think its particularly likely that we get more than one

[sharp dock]

I would honestly see getting two large dicynodonts more likely

[obsidian crescent]

Drepanosaurus

[sharp dock]

within the realm of low possibility

but just lisowicia would do for me

something smaller like placerias would be welcome but I can live without it

[silver steeple]

Given that apparently Placerias and Lisowicia may be on that Post EA teaser you wouldn't be far off

[left spear]

Give liso a placeeias alt or the other way around

[sharp dock]

oh you mean the list mau posted

[silver steeple]

Yeah

[sharp dock]

I was thinking for a second we got some teaser I didn't know of

I guess placerias and postosuchus are too much of an iconic duo.....

[silver steeple]

Its true

https://tenor.com/view/postosuchus-roaring-dinosaur-wild-life-gif-17285182

[plush nacelle]

Cant really work. Lisowicia unlike other dicynodonts had forelimbs completely erect to support enormous size. Probably this why list featured lisowicia OR placerias.

[silver steeple]

I was about to say, I remember Liso being special lol

[sharp dock]

completely erect?

ENORMOUS SIZE?

[silver steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/vorzek-vorzneck-oglg-og-lol-gang-gif-24901093

[sharp dock]

Truly.... the goatest triassic creature

I love u elephant sized dicynodont

[silver steeple]

Not from the exact same time but would be fun for us to get Silesaurus and Lisowicia as Polish friends

[sharp dock]

I think it can be done

after all formations do not have specific ages right?

[silver steeple]

Silesaurus is Carnian and Liso is like Norian/Rhaetian

[sharp dock]

both are Late Triassic, I think that's good enough :B

[silver steeple]

I think the exhibit bonuses are based on like Triassic/Jurassic etc

But I would need to boot up the game and double check

There is a Silesaurid from the same quarry as Liso

So I think its a fine stretch

[sharp dock]

I definitely think it's a good combination

triassic elephant and triassic uhhhh gazelle

[silver steeple]

All silesaurids are basically the same except for size anyway lol

[sharp dock]

Paleozoic critters are the most exciting thing for me (after Kelenken)

[silver steeple]

I def hope we get plenty

Especially if we get aquatics

[sharp dock]

PK being the first game to have a variety of them is gonna be peak

the peakerest peakeroos

[hollow flower]

I look forward for the paleozoics

[sharp dock]

the public shall learn about the wondrous and peaceful creatures of the paleozoic

https://tenor.com/view/bender-futurama-peaceful-ways-forget-that-gif-17591422

damn the gif is the whole ass scene

[silver steeple]

Lmao

But yeah hope we get a good variety of fun paleozoics

[hollow flower]

The triassic, while technically mesozoic, I consider quite similar to the paleozoic

[silver steeple]

Well a lot of it is leftover fauna

[hollow flower]

In that most of the animals from there are quite obscure

[silver steeple]

Until you get to the last like third

And then its dino city

[hollow flower]

True

Posto is the exception

[silver steeple]

I mean more in the sense of them showing up right at the last third

[hollow flower]

That makes more

[silver steeple]

They aren't really top dog until the jurassic

[hollow flower]

Frankly speaking the triassic is more like the age of crocodiles

[silver steeple]

Psuedosuchians yeah

[quick tartan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eleZdGxXA64

[left spear]

The mesozoic is the age of Archosaurs not dinosaurs

[limber nexus]

Yeah, I think there is one Paleozoic creature planned for pre release

[hollow furnace]

at least one, more likely two, depends on if the Permian animal is still happening

[lost saffron]

big cappy
need i say more

[outer moth]

Joeseph was a Pacaranha, not a capybara

[lean hound]

[quick ore]

if this game is going to get any rodents, Joseph should be one of them

speaking of, would Ceratogaulus be better as a terrarium or exhibit animal?

[nimble wedge]

Vote ended! The top ranking are, starting from lowest to highest: Parksosaurus and Corythosaurus in last place, with 0% of the votes! Irratator in fifth place with 5% of the votes! Giganotosaurus in 4thplace with 15% of the votes! Olorotitan in 3rd place with 20% of the votes! Camptosaurus in 2nd place with 25% of the votes!

[quick ore]

I would assume terrarium

[nimble wedge]

And the winner, with 35% of the votes is...

Herrerasaurus!

thanks for taking part in the vote

(it was my vote to see who would want the following in game. it isnt offical)

[thick pewter]

Castoroides would be fun, too. Big ass beavers would be a great option for wetland exhibits.

[quick ore]

mhm

[quick tartan]

I kinda want to see Smok added, even if we don't qutie know what the hell it was

[plain knoll]

I got nothing to add to the table other than I'd like more megafauna in the game even if I'm a little aware we'll definitely get more in later updates or in a full release.

[limber nexus]

I get where you’re coming from

In my opinion

Half the roster dinosaurs

And the other half should be everything else

[plain knoll]

I mean it's understandable since dinosaurs are pretty much the focal point of the game, hell even the mascot is a Brontosaurus with a crown.
Although if that's the case, it would be nice to see any variety of probiscideas like Columbian Mammoth, some of the weirder ones like Gomphotherium or Platybelodon, or anything outside of the idea like the terror birds or the glyptodonts.

[limber nexus]

I’m fine with leaving out more elephants for now, because I want more diversity in the roster, and I think there are other creatures that should be prioritized. And by everything else, I also mean non mammals

[plain knoll]

Cynodonts right? I know Thrinaxodon is confirmed but would be interesting to see Moschops or a gorgonopsid in the game. Or since terrarium animals are confirmed, some tanks for Diplocaulus or maybe the Cambrian explosion species would be interesting.

[limber nexus]

How is Thrinaxodon confirmed?
And some stuff non mammal creatures that might come to the game are Deinosuchus based off this list

[plain knoll]

Ohh right. I think I'm confusing it for Simosuchus and other confirmed terrarium animals since there's been a few blurbs about Thrinaxodon that is just white noise to me now.

[limber nexus]

Yeah, we don’t know what the other terrarium animals will be until they come out

From my understanding

Droid is here, so I’m probably wrong

[hollow furnace]

Thrinaxodon has been pretty commonly guessed as the “fuzzy Triassic” terrarium, I assume that’s where the confusion comes from

[hollow furnace]

And that’s correct

No more terrariums until at least after update 15, potentially not until update 16 is shown off in trailers and the like

[limber nexus]

That’s when I would expect them, but update 16 should be out by fall, I think

So I’m excited to see what comes out of it

[plain knoll]

That's fine. I'm more interested in speculating what more megafaunas we'll get in a potential future update or final release.

[nimble wedge]

Do the devs check the species suggestions?

[limber nexus]

Idk

[inner wedge]

lol

[nimble wedge]

I hope they do

[hollow furnace]

They look at them

Doesn’t mean they follow them

[limber nexus]

I wouldn’t be surprised, but the creatures for the next few updates have been decided by now

[inner wedge]

iirc the only interest they have shown so far was for the community poll

[limber nexus]

Yeah

Script is going quite well

I shall declare

[hollow furnace]

They like to know what people are interested in

[inner wedge]

great

[limber nexus]

I’ll probably be taking a bid of a break from it, because I have finals next week

[hollow furnace]

Typically it’s either a) an animal they were probably already considering regardless, or b) something obscure that they don’t really care about

[inner wedge]

cant wait for the total sweep of the Endless

[limber nexus]

But the Cotylorhynchus segment will be fire

I’ve figured it out

[hollow furnace]

But sometimes there will be something that catches their eye, like they mentioned they were surprised how popular and requested Australovenator was

[nimble wedge]

Bc i really want camptosaurus, parksosaurus/lesothosaurus and herrerasaurus

[hollow furnace]

(This was a long while ago)

[limber nexus]

Yeah, that’s something I’ve noticed. A lot of the creatures have been considered like Deaodon, but then others are far too obscure

Like I’m sorry, we don’t need every obscure shitto

[nimble wedge]

parksosaurus and lesothosaurus as alternate genus, camptosaurus as with a mix herding mechanic, and herrerasaurus as another tirassic animal

[inner wedge]

australo with maip alt genus would be cool

[nimble wedge]

where can i find that

[inner wedge]

for whoever asked

[hollow furnace]

Parksosaurus and lesothosaurus do not work as alt genera

[nimble wedge]

yeah

[inner wedge]

cause i certainly didnt

[hollow furnace]

That’s like making Coelophysis and Allosaurus alts

[nimble wedge]

charonosaurus and parasaurolophus?

[limber nexus]

Those are like sister taxa

[inner wedge]

they are literally in the same phylogeny wth are you on

[limber nexus]

From my understanding

[hollow furnace]

Charonosaurus and Parasaurolophus are almost, if not depending on which tree literal, sister taxa

[nimble wedge]

i think charonosaurus is more related to tlatolophus, or last time i checked it was

[limber nexus]

Didn’t people think they were part of the same genus at one point?

[nimble wedge]

yes

[hollow furnace]

They sometimes are, depending on the phylogeny

But regardless extremely close

[limber nexus]

Then I think those are reasonable alternatives species

[nimble wedge]

tbh when i first saw it i thought it was just parasaurolophus

[limber nexus]

Yeah

But guys

Maip

Boops boops ass dinosaur

[inner wedge]

dinosaur enthusiasts asking pk devs to add megaraptorans for the 500th time

[hollow furnace]

Very big megaraptorid

[limber nexus]

Chat, they’ve probably thought about it
And I’ll be honest, I think this game would be ok without a megaraptor, obviously we would like one, but it’s a less mandatory group

In my opinion

[plain knoll]

Isn't Yi the dinosaur with the shortest name?

[hollow furnace]

Yes

It’s also the shortest possible name

Because species and genus epithets must have at least two letters each

[plain knoll]

Cause I always thought "not really" since other instances it's called Yi Qi

[limber nexus]

Yi qi is cool, but I don’t think we will need another small arboreal celosaur for awhile

[hollow furnace]

Yi qi is the full name of the species, the genus is Yi

[inner wedge]

til mau mentioned paleozoic will probably get it's own expansion

[hollow furnace]

Yep

[inner wedge]

and he's a paleozoicCHAD

musicto my ears

[limber nexus]

Indeed

I’m excited to see all of that stuff come out

Yeah, it’s not my job to suggest species ngl

It’s mine to compile them

And make a poll

[inner wedge]

community polls are fine

pz discord did some each season and devs actually followed them

for the most part

[limber nexus]

I doubt any of the devs will listen to this poll lol

It’s nice to have the data

But I ain’t that important

[inner wedge]

yeah it's a bit early but not a waste

surely after ea this thread will gain a purpose

[limber nexus]

You’re probably right

Community poll data out by June chat

I will do it

It’s fine

[inner wedge]

good luck with the finals

[limber nexus]

Thanks, they shouldn’t be that bad

Just time consuming

I already had the harder ap test

5 of them

I want to die

no pain no gain

[hollow flower]

Why not make a suggestion

As a treat

[autumn plover]

Idk, I’d love for a megaraptorid, just because of how unique they are. But I can see your point

If we were to get one though I would strongly prefer Australovenator to anything else though

It’s got things to go with it

Realistically

If we get a megaraptoran

We’ll probably only get one

[steep crane]

It’s almost certainly Thrinaxodon.

The only other remotely possible choice is Cynognathus.

Though Cynognathus might be Psittaco sized.

Actually yeah Cynog is too big, it’s prob Thrinaxodon.

[prime zephyr]

Utahraptor

[lean hound]

The best dinosaur ever!!

[lean hound]

NO ITS NOT

[silver steeple]

Yeah ngl Maip is like the least "copy-paste" megaraptoran alongside like Australovenator

On opposite ends of the spectrum

[sharp dock]

Today is hibbertopterus day

[wanton panther]

Megacerops

[sharp dock]

Chonkolicious thunder beast

I hate so much that brontotherium is now a junior synonym

[junior wasp]

Dorudon (not my drawing got it from searching “Dorudon” on safari)

[outer moth]

Gabriel Ugueto really does any species well

(That's the artist if you need to find more like this)

[junior wasp]

Oh I see

Ty

[low bridge]

Prehistoric Africa needs more love??

Cmon

[hollow flower]

I have to agree

Megacerops is inferior any way you put it

[low bridge]

We should come back to Africa to Pleistocene and take Crocodylus Thorbjarnarsoni/Anthropopophagus, Giant Cape Zebra, Pelorovis,Syncerus Antiqqus, Dinopithecus, Hippo Gorgops, Agriotherium, Rusingoryx, Deinotherium, Stegotetrabelodon, Ancylotherium, Megantereon, Dinofelis, Dinocrocuta, Sivatherium, Giant Warthog

Let's be real

[silver steeple]

Let's be fake

[quick ore]

we do Not need Agriotherium

I also think Megantereon and Dinofelis aren't necessary adds either, or at least not together

also I hate to mention this again but you really should make sure your species names have the second part of the name lowercase

[sharp dock]

half of these are "Modern animal but big"

[quick ore]

if you are going to pull stuff from cenozoic africa you would be remiss to not use species from older time periods

I would much rather have species like Arsinotherium than half of what you have there

[hollow flower]

I have to admit most cenozoic African creatures should be from the Paleogene or Neogene

The only ones id consider adding from later would be like

Sivatherium

But its also from the neogene alongside Deinotherium

[quick ore]

the Ngorora Formation would be sick

[hollow flower]

Now as much as I am a fan of the cenozoic

The two that I see as being most worthy of being added are Deinotherium and Megistotherium

[quick ore]
