Not any more than spectacled bears

#

They just got it wrong? Same reason why megalania has slit pupils, why giganto is oversized, I’m sure there are other examples

#

So no I’m not really curious

#

Mistakes just happen

ancient ibex
#

Fair enough, but there is a distinction between mistakes and clashing interpretations

short rover
#

There is

#

The interpretation they’ve used (as far as we can understand bear anatomy and tmk) is wrong

#

Its articulation error on the skeleton

#

Spectacled bear skeletons look remarkably similar to other Tremarctines like arctodus, they appear long legged and compressed when they aren’t like that irl

ancient ibex
short rover
#

Bears can look lanky but there’s a pretty noticeable difference between spectacled bears (which arctodus should roughly be a sized up version of) and uguetos recon

ancient ibex
#

Well, once again, these are people open to dialogue, so it can be productive to contact them and talk about bear proportions

slim flare
#

I mean the documentary has plenty of mistakes already

ancient ibex
#

Mmm, yeah, it looks like a large spectacled bear alright

wary nacelle
#

Amurosaurus but make it fluffy trust

quick ore
#

why would it be fluffy?

#

also them making this hadrosaur fluffy but not making Mutta fluffy would be infinitely tragic

hollow furnace
#

Presumably because its nothern

#

But seeing as Ug is not fluffy I don't see why that would happen here

quick ore
#

I don't think northern living hadrosaurs would be fluffy

#

that's just like

#

the Pachyrhinosaurus meme

hollow furnace
#

yes

outer moth
#

Don't think Maastrichtian Russia is talked about much here, so I'm glad to see my home's species represented here

#

fluffy is fun though

wary nacelle
#

Fluffy is pretty cute

#

Like a big warm hug

#

Unless it’s a musk ox

#

Or moose

past mist
#

plus

#

if T. rex can get away with having feathers in this game despite living in a subtropical climate and probably weighing more than Amurosaurus

alpine thicket
#

The feathered rex skin doesn't have relevance to any hadrosaurs.

past mist
#

i don’t see why Amuro can’t have a little fluff

alpine thicket
#

personally I think feathered Pachyrhino is enough and do not want feathered hadrosaurs at all.

wary nacelle
#

They should make argentinosaurus feathered

#

And make it fly

past mist
#

and feathers are most likely the ancestral condition of Dinosaurs (due to Kuliandadromeus) so it’s not COMPLETELY impossible, if highly unlikely

wary nacelle
#

Giant wings on its feet

#

They should make ankylosaurus feathered

past mist
#

I’m definitely not defending the idea of fluffy Hadrosaurs because i’m currently drawing fluffy Hadrosaurs because i think the idea is cool

alpine thicket
#

It may very well have been, but there's far less evidence of even cold weather hadrosaurs having retained feathers then there is the potential for Tyrannosaurus to have feathers(and that I'm still pretty dubious on).
Feather retention is pretty plastic as far as we can tell, but some lineages seem to have dropped them and not picked them back up again.
Hadrosaurs had very thick skin, so that was probably enough for insulation for them combined with size.

past mist
#

true

#

i imagine they had Elephant hair type feathers but that’s js me

#

maybe some light coverage for northern Hadrosaurs at most

#

but the idea of woolly hadrosaurs really scratches an itch in my brain so im very biased

wary nacelle
#

Wooly everything

#

We should create more dinosaurs with definitive feathers and place them in the north pole

hollow furnace
#

hadrosaurs are probably the group with the least possibility of being feathered, we have extremely extensive soft tissue preservation from them, including from species that if not the same are extremely close relatives of the most polar of the lineage

#

If you want to depict them as feathered thats cool but they did not have them irl

wary nacelle
#

Call one of them Santaclauseasaurus and it’s just a really hunky hadrosaur with almost exaggerated horns

past mist
#

genuine question im not trying to be snarky

hollow furnace
#

potentially

steep tulip
past mist
#

because Asian Elephants are the closest relatives of Wooly Mammoths (other than other Mammoths obviously)

hollow furnace
#

More importantly dinosaur integument, as far as the evidence we have right now, doesn't work like mammalian skin

past mist
#

and well

hollow furnace
#

The scaly parts of feathered ornithischians seem to develop seperately from feathered and secondarily featherless integument

wary nacelle
#

We should make every dinosaur wooly

steep tulip
#

Im not against them making a fluffy skin for a hadrosaur if they want to

wary nacelle
#

Except the mammals

alpine thicket
#

feathered mammoth

#

just like a real mammoth

#

Putting feathers on a hadrosaurid for no reason would be weird and jarring

#

like with Pachyrhinosaurus it's an existing trope

#

also Amurosaurus wasn't from a very cold environment

#

there were crocodilians there

flint sable
coarse inlet
#

Also Amurosaurus isnt even the most interesting hadrosaur from that site

#

Olorotitan is there

wary nacelle
#

Perhaps the crocodiles were in the wrong place at the wrong time

#

like Hatzegopteryx

flint sable
#

and they had not simply flown south for the winter yet

#

or perhaps their plane crashed because it was made by Boeing causing them to be preserved there...?

wary nacelle
#

Perhaps they were sick of their cold blooded inferior ancestors so they lit some candles and manifested warm blood

flint sable
#

perhaps

#

perhaps the candles are what caused the plane to crash, as the auto smoke detector failed, starting a ruth goldberg type machinima set up by one of the indeterminate avialans hiding in the cargo hold, eventually resulting in a major engine failure on the left wing, resutling in the plane crashing with only 3 surviviors...?

wary nacelle
#

Perhaps the crocodiles were the friends we made along the way

#

same with the candles

#

and smoke detectors

#

and the airplanes

#

and the airplane crashes

#

and the fluffy Amurosaurus

#

perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, nothing is really that important

I once read about Bambiraptor in a violent dinosaur comic for children about dinosaurs, and too this day I’ve never see the medium of video game acknowledge the Bambiraptor

median relic
wary nacelle
#

iirc

coarse inlet
#

At the very least it's definitely a juvenile

#

and maybe a chimera

#

apparently there are adult specimens but they havent been described despite being found 25 years ago

#

there's a jawbone from a much larger individual which might be adult

#

the holotype was from an animal 30-40% the size of the one the larger jawbone came from

#

which means it was probably larger than Velociraptor as an adult

Would elephant birds qualify for a recently-extinct pack

hollow flower
#

Yeah

feral cedar
#

It could be a slam dunk combo to get both the heaviest and tallest birds to ever live

#

And honestly easy rig reusal

eager thunder
#

What’s the likelihood we get dodos

ancient ibex
#

The best way to handle ratites is always to get multiple; love 'em

hollow furnace
#

Considering a recently extinct DLC is planned and it would be a no-brainer

eager thunder
#

Beipiaosaurus would be cool
Atypical therizinosauria that would make for a interesting species. That and they can just be real cute

silver steeple
#

Especially cause it doesn't really fit the moniker of "weird dino"

#

It's just a "small" (potentially normal sized) raptor

#

I figured Halszka would be #1

#

Oh whoops, totally misread

#

Ignore me

past mist
silver steeple
#

GSP is also not the most reliable of sources

past mist
#

i don’t trust his taxonomy

#

but from what i know he’s pretty good when it comes to anatomy and stuff

silver steeple
#

Supposedly there are adult bambiraptor specimens that are about the "normal" size

past mist
#

i could be wrong though

silver steeple
#

So like 1.5-2m

past mist
#

i see

#

wikipedia mentions them but that they haven’t been described

it also doesn’t mention when they were found so idk if Greg was estimating based on exclusively the juvenile holotype or also the adult specimens

I know people probably already guessed it, but I have a hunch that the semi-aquatic vivarium mammal we're getting is probably Castorocauda

quick ore
#

how come

tulip wharf
#

it's small, it's a mammal, it's semi-aquatic, and it's a unique mesozoic mammal

quick ore
#

imo I would prefer Didelphodon

tulip wharf
#

I like both

#

I just think Castorocauda bc of the beaver tail

quick ore
#

ye I don't have a problem with Castorocauda I just like Didelphodon more

tulip wharf
#

I'm partial to Didelphodon too bc of WWD

#

Volaticotherium would also be a good Vivarium mammal, since it's basically a mesozoic version of a Colugo (plus it's from the same formation as Castorocauda)

amber field
tulip wharf
#

still a mammaliform, cute little furry guy

amber field
#

tbf I want to see it in U16

limber needle
#

i hope we get brasilodon

tulip wharf
#

Castorocauda or Volaticotherium? (the gliding mammal i just mentioned)

limber needle
tulip wharf
#

he is pretty cute ngl

#

Beelzebufo would also be a good choice for a semi-aquatic vivarium animal (BIG AHH FROG)

#

roid kermit

#

also all four of these permian amphibs would be cool to see

steep tulip
tulip wharf
#

Beelzebufo would still be a cool animal to have for vivariums

The only (non-recently extinct) frog PK could ever have

#

Terrestrial Vivarium Arthropods I NEED in IK: Arthropleura, Meganeura, Pulmonoscorpius, Mongolarachne, Gigatitan, Titanomyrma

#

this is my list and I never miss

slim flare
tulip wharf
#

it's the only prehistoric spider I could think of, besides vivariums are meant for small animals anyway

slim flare
#

It’s too small

#

You literally wouldn’t be able to see it

#

Same for Titanomyrma

alpine thicket
#

Not that small, though I still want there to be some extra small placeable tanks or something that are just animated scenery, but that'd still be too small for those.

slim flare
#

There’s a big difference between a crow and spider in size

tulip wharf
#

there's also the devonian Attercopus but it's also pretty small

slim flare
#

I wouldn’t suggest anything smaller than a rat, and even then that’s pushing it

tulip wharf
#

there is Kreischeria from the Carboniferous, not a true spider but an extinct family of arachnids called Trigonotarbids

plush nacelle
#

Meganeura is probably the smallest possible arthropod

tulip wharf
#

Gigatitan is cool though, it's basically a triassic grasshopper crossed with a praying mantis

#

also shout-out to Triadobatrachus, one of the oldest known frogs from the Early Triassic of Madagascar, it even had a little tail.

slim flare
#

Amphibian Simosuchus

tulip wharf

also shout-out to the triassic turtle Proganochelys

eager thunder
#

I wonder if giant ocean animals are a possibility

#

Whale sized things

tulip wharf
#

Thalassotitan?

#

you said whale-sized and this guy is the size of an orca

#

African cousin of Mosasaurus

eager thunder
#

liopleurodon and ichthyotitan would rule

silver steeple
slim flare
#

That’s actually a thing-sized whale

tulip wharf
#

Shonisaurus w/ Ichthyotitan alt.

eager thunder
#

You know what, not whale sized but Pontolis would rule

#

Seal like critter

tulip wharf
#

looks cool

#

Tanystropheus has some alt. potential, check out the size difference between the two species

quick ore
#

for most of their history spiders have stayed small

eager thunder
#

You know the Quagga is probably a shoo in if we’re getting dodos right?

quick ore
#

quagga is confirmed is it not

slim flare
#

Already confirmed

tulip wharf
#

I mentioned Trigonotarbids as a spider alternative (Kreischeria being the largest)

slim flare
#

Quagga + wild horse alt for RE DLC

eager thunder
#

Yeah I have no idea where I’m supposed to look for these things

#

This might be the only game where a T.Rex can potentially eat a Quagga

how big are they

eager thunder
#

I would love just more funky fellas

Kreischeria is the largest Trigonotarbid

#

it was from the Carboniferous of Germany

quick ore
#

that is like

#

way too small i think

#

To be fair beelzebufo aint much bigger

eager thunder
#

Is size that important over just having something weird?

Isn't Beelze the size of modern goliath frogs

not tiny

Say since I’m uninformed is there a possibility for like, Deinonychus?

#

I know about Utahraptor somehow

Beelzebufo is about size of african bullfrog, maybe tad smaller

silver steeple

Deinon is def possible in the future

slim flare
eager thunder
#

Cool cool

eager thunder
#

Once again I am hilariously ignorant

quick ore
#

The ceiling of largest animal in game is wayyyyy higher in PK than in PZ, so that means the possibilities for how small a viv species can be are more constrained than the equivalent animals in PZ

EA = Early Access

steep tulip
#

Someone already pointed it out lol

quick ore
#

aka will be in game prior to the full launch

steep tulip
#

I still want beelze because frogs are cool and there aren't that many other options

silver steeple
#

There really aren't any

quick ore
#

what about that even bigger cenozoic frog

silver steeple
#

Unless you count that giant eocene one

#

Which is unnamed

quick ore
#

oh dang

silver steeple
#

And a single bone

steep tulip
#

Eocene frog might have more remains apparently?
But unless something comes out it's all rumors for me

I mean I don't think it is necessary to have frogs specifically so long as we get other amphibians/non amniotes in game

Beel viv i think it's kidna a must

quick ore
#

nothing in game currently is THAT tiny

silver steeple
#

Or about 13x13ft

quick ore
#

what even is the smallest viv species

#

like currently

silver steeple
#

Probably Simo?

left spear
#

Well there's only 2 feesh

quick ore
#

not the birds?

left spear
#

I mean

silver steeple
#

Depends how you measure

left spear
#

In mass or proportions

silver steeple
#

Dimensionally it should be Simo afaik

eager thunder
#

What about any extinct monkey things

steep tulip
#

Compy is the smallest I think

silver steeple
#

But in weight the birds take it yeah

steep tulip
#

Like they based it off the small specimen

#

5kg of chonk

steep tulip
#

Wait maybe it's archaeo?

silver steeple
quick ore
#

so yeah so long as a viv suggestion is as large or larger than the current smallest viv species it is reasonable as an inclusion

#

Archaeo is what I would guess is the smallest

plush nacelle
#

Yi smallest so far

silver steeple
#

I think you could go as small as .5m and still be fairly reasonable

But anything smaller than that gets hard fast

it isnt

quick ore
#

you know that monkeys have like

an actual definition right

#

Would giant ocean things be too big tho?

its a primate but not a monkey

Lemurs aren't monkeys either

eager thunder

yeah that looks more like a lemur if anything or some other strepsirrhine

flint sable

Even if it "doesn't matter" as much as a whole species going extinct, its still the loss of a group of animals

Which impacts the genetic diversity of the entire species

No one disagrees

seeing devs devote time to any extinct domestic breed over adding an actual extinct species would upset me tbh

I think it would make for a interesting challenge exhibit wise

You’d need to maintain an animal not built to be self sufficient

I think it'd be acceptable as an alt to another goat

silver steeple
quick ore
#

The fact is that this game will never have enough species to please everyone or display a complete picture of the history of life on earth and we shouldn't devote species slots to animals that would be as undeserving as extinct domestic animal breeds when any actual extinct species would do so much more to add diversity to the game's roster. Plus, there aren't any extinct domestic animal breeds who would be better additions than a related extinct species would

if they ever made fully aquatic vivariums I wonder if they would have Anomalocaris with a trilobite species in the sams vivarium, since iirc Anomalocaris wasn't actually a trilobite eater

If you want a trilobite I would suggest Isotelus from the Ordovician, the biggest trilobite of them all

Giga the only other giant carcha I accept in the game

I can get behind giga if 1. It's a DLC animal and 2. It has a meraxes alt

People keep requesting the whole lineage across the paleo community, but they all look very similar

steep tulip
#

Either meraxes or mapu

left spear
#

Mapu would be like

#

Literally the same animal

#

Atleast Meraxes is smaller than either Giga or Carch and you could give It the cool Big claw

#

Even if it's probably present in most mage carchs

#

Really the only other alt i would consider besides meraxes would be Tyranno

steep tulip
#

Fair lol
I don't really care too much, they could have giga with no alt and not much would change for me

feral cedar
#

Carch should’ve been a giga alt

autumn plover

Giga has a bigger chin than Carch and that’s about it

#

Meraxes is probably the most distinct and it just has a notch over the hips and a slightly larger toe claw

Guess which one of these is Mapusaurus and which one is Carcharodontosaurus

as it stands today, if giga ever gets added, i hope for the mapu alt.

It SHOULD have been an alt

Lambeosaurus lambei/magnicristatus with a Corythosaurus alt could've been cool

magni is just a larger one isnt it?

autumn plover

Nah I would have left corytho out

Alts are cool but too many and it takes away skins from the base animal

Only certain animals that actually have a lot of species should have an alt for every skin

Like Allo/Para/Camara/Pachy
