[trail moth]

also would like deinonychus due to its significance in the dinosaur renaissance

[low bridge]

Are Camels needed in Peak Kingdom?

Prehistoric Ones

[cosmic cosmos]

utah is confirmed for u19

[crimson burrow]

LETS GOOO

We also gotta have austroraptor

[cosmic cosmos]

i would like deinonychus, tenontosaurus and sauropelta to come fill acros formation out

[mint creek]

Here's Mau's tease of the Utah concept art #pk-discussion message

[cosmic cosmos]

austro was on an post ea concept list from the devs

[trail moth]

shunosaurus, deinotherium, yangchuanosaurus, desmatosuchus, postosuchus, and anteosaurus PLEASE

[cosmic cosmos]

cooking

[trail moth]

i need a relevant anteosaurus rendition so badly for what is basically the permian's tyrannosaur equivalent

[crimson burrow]

Deinosuchus, sarcosuchus

[low bridge]

Maip Macrothorax, Barinasuchus, Glyptodon, Prolibytherium, Embolotherium, Platybelodon

[crimson burrow]

Aye they got 2 carchaeadontosaurids in the game might as well add giganotosaurus in am i right?

[trail moth]

barina would be so based

[crimson burrow]

Complete the big 3

[low bridge]

What about Embolotherium since i think nobody likes it??

[cosmic cosmos]

giga would be good for DLC, especially with a mapu alt

[trail moth]

for carcharodontosaurids id like to see concavenator before another large one

[cosmic cosmos]

same, would love pelicanimimus to come alongside it

[low bridge]

Giganotosaurus and Mapusaurus as it's Alt would be Dope

[crimson burrow]

Aye saurophaganax would be jumping in joy if it ever comes to pk

[toxic oriole]

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say

Saurophaganax is coming

[cosmic cosmos]

i think having a camel would be very good, not sure if more than one is mandatory tho

[cosmic cosmos]

allosaurus anax is coming next update

[crimson burrow]

LET THEM COOK

[crimson burrow]

Update 17?

[mint creek]

anax rather than Saurophaganax

but it's basically the same thing

yeah U17

[toxic oriole]

Nonono its still gonna be called Saurophaganax

shaddap

[trail moth]

allosaurus anax is simply the dwarf lizard eater

nanophaganax

[cosmic cosmos]

they arent calling stygi stygi, i doubt they are using sauro as the name lol

[low bridge]

We need big, small, weird ones

[crimson burrow]

Speaking of nanos we gotta add nanotyrannis and troodons in

[toxic oriole]

Which troodontid

[mint creek]

think this from the last dev diary confirmed anax over Sauro. 4 different species rather than 4 alts.

[low bridge]

Nigersaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Saltasaurus

[toxic oriole]

and they said that it was gonna be called Saurophaganax a long while ago

[cosmic cosmos]

troodon is in a weird spot taxonomically rn, in the future it might be a good pick but currently its quite problematic

[toxic oriole]

Since thats what Nigel Marvin had recorded or something?

[crimson burrow]

What about the irritator?

[toxic oriole]

Ehh it wouldn't be the first time this game included dubious species
Ugrunaaluk is an example

[cosmic cosmos]

irritator is one id love to see, great south american dlc option

[toxic oriole]

Whats next, they give it a fourth alt and it just so happens to be Thespesius?

No wait thats too many

[cosmic cosmos]

also nano with both species would be cool

[mint creek]

Both these things are true but given the wording of the last dev diary I feel pretty confident it'll be anax

[crimson burrow]

Or what about beipi?

[low bridge]

From Devs point of View Cancelling Ugruu would be WASTE of Money

[cosmic cosmos]

beipi has undescribed material from adult specimens, id want those described before they added it, but i do want it alot

[toxic oriole]

Alberto + Gorgo
Both related n such, both would be good paired

either gorgo or alberto would be the alt, ehh most people would say gorgo

[crimson burrow]

Tenotosaurus, maiasaura, pachy, herrera

[low bridge]

Duonychus

[toxic oriole]

Pachycephalosaurus is coming too dude

[crimson burrow]

Fire

[toxic oriole]

Both it and Stygimoloch

You REALLY gotta start paying more attention

[crimson burrow]

Anyways ima sleep to think if more dinos

[toxic oriole]

Entirety of Allosaurus is coming
Two Stegosaurus reps
Pachycephalosaurus and Stygi...

[trail moth]

brachytrachelopan

🤑

[toxic oriole]

Baryonyx someday
Utahraptor confirmed
Carnotaurus one day
Diplodocus may come back

[low bridge]

Ceratosaurus??

[toxic oriole]

uncertain

[lean hound]

Why is bary 'some day' when we actually know when it's coming

[toxic oriole]

cuz im lazy

i dont got any good excuses

Nothronychus cancelled or whatfuckingever

[pallid mural]

low key

what if we got a megaraptoran like maip or megaraptor itself

would def be slightly more out there as a pick but would be cool

[feral cedar]

Is there one for Pentaceratops and Triceratops?

[ancient ibex]

Closest thing

[pallid mural]

i hope this game does well at full release, we already a lot of prehistoric creatures but i want to make a park with like 130 species or something absurd in it lol

[mint creek]

they should add (unnamed)

[peak hazel]

they should

[pallid mural]

that’s a good one

[trail moth]

John Ceratops

[pallid mural]

they should also add my favorite species that i seem to see everywhere, Nomen dubiem

[trail moth]

and john 10% of the skull

[pallid mural]

me when the wounding tooth is just a single tooth

praying that neotype comes in clutch for troodon fr

[peak hazel]

if your favourite dinosaur isn't 3 teeth and 1/4 of a femur you're doing it wrong

[trail moth]

with a "cool" name like Infernotitanoterror

[peak hazel]

I mean that is diagnostic material

[trail moth]

true

i wouldn't say it's as bad as barsboldia

[pallid mural]

i was a spinosaurus fan both before and after we actually learned what it was

i remember when the only good spino material ever found was the one blown tf up in WW2 lmao

[peak hazel]

lack of material isn't an inherent issue but I could never call a genus like that my favourite

[pallid mural]

ok but sometimes they cook

tyrannotitan as a name goes stupid hard idc how “awesomebro” it is

[trail moth]

i like jwe metri despite the irl animal being quite fragmentary

[peak hazel]

so much of the reconstruction is based on other species
to the point where if you are suggesting it for a game or saying its your favourite, you're just asking for a different animal

[pallid mural]

Big rip to Saurophagonax though (unless it’s a saurpod but low key i’m scared to even touch what it might be with a ten foot pole bc chimera)

[mint creek]

Except for Oxalaia of course

[peak hazel]

material isn't bad

[pallid mural]

fair fair

[trail moth]

everytime i see oxalaia suggested to a dinosaur game

[peak hazel]

obvious exception

[pallid mural]

i was more referring to “awesomebro” names than anything but fair

What is the deal with Oxalaia

Is it like fully synonymous with Spino

[peak hazel]

I have heard things

[pallid mural]

Or is it a Tarbo situation

[trail moth]

it is like

[peak hazel]

and we shall see if anything happens from that

[trail moth]

one snout fragment i think

[peak hazel]

destroyed

[pallid mural]

awesome

[trail moth]

and it's drawn like a smaller spinosaurus for some reason

[pallid mural]

ok so we basically don’t know jack about it other than it’s a spinosaurid (and ofc where and when it roughly lived)

[pallid mural]

Damn

[trail moth]

rapator level shenanigans

[mint creek]

Oxalaia, my favourite schizo-taxon

[pallid mural]

me when the dinosaur is so fragmentary the whole thing is another dinosaur

another one i always hear back and forth on is dakotaraptor

maybe the real dakotaraptor is the friends we made along the way

[trail moth]

chimera

i believe

[mint creek]

We got this bad boy named THIS year

[pallid mural]

oh fr damn

[trail moth]

there was a giant dromaeosaur but i dont think it'd be under the name dakotaraptor

[pallid mural]

the eyebrow of diagnostic significance

[peak hazel]

gotta love Erythrovenator

actually that one is just really funny

[trail moth]

gilmorelarsontyrannus for prehistoric kingdom

[mint creek]

big paleo doesn't want you to know this but Xenovenator is proof that Toodontids are part of marginocephilia

[peak hazel]

one time and place where this can be diagnostic by the way

[pallid mural]

Tryna remember what some of the other famous chimeras are besides Saurophaganax and Dakota

I think Titanosaurus has been cooked as a genus since forever but i havent checked on it

[trail moth]

how'd it be diagnostic?

[peak hazel]

shows its a true theropod

[trail moth]

the concept of the type genus of a family being invalid

[trail moth]

we found it

john theropod

[peak hazel]

thats either some megalosaur or Sinraptor

[trail moth]

megalosaurus is john dinosaur

[pallid mural]

Always funny and a little saddening when a group name survives but the og of that group doesnt

[pallid mural]

fuck i was just about to make the same comment

megalosaurus was john therapod for so long

it’s still a little more “generic” ig but considering it was a wastebucket it fits

[peak hazel]

megalosaurs do a lot of weird things but they have a very john theropod appearance

[trail moth]

i do like torvosaurus

[pallid mural]

word torvo is cool

[trail moth]

mainly because it was really funny in dinosaur revolution

[pallid mural]

i can’t bring myself to dislike any dinosaur even if i make funny jabs towards some

[trail moth]

guy was so bad the entire watering hole ganged up on it

[pallid mural]

reminds me of the giga getting jumped in dominion

[peak hazel]

nature found to be cool

[trail moth]

tyrannosaurus is my 2nd favorite dinosaur and i make jokes about how much i hate it because of how big the thing would get

[peak hazel]

that being said I can and will take shots at schizo taxa

[pallid mural]

next paper will reveal tyrannosaurus could access ultra instinct during battle against its prey

spinosaurus is also my favorite dinosaur even if i also pile on the “weekly revision” memes

[pallid mural]

funny within the context of your username but valid lmao

at least in a lot of cases it isnt that the animals weren’t real it’s just we dont got shit to go off of

[peak hazel]

I made the original Troodon YT name in 2016

its not like I cared

its stuck so I kept it

that being said there is a second Mr. Troodon somewhere

[pallid mural]

real

also troodon is a cool name (and it might be coming back anyways so you could end up looking like an accidental genius)

the next brontosaurus experience

or nanotyrannus ig would be the more recent example

[peak hazel]

depends if Currie's neotype gets accepted

Troodontid taxa issues will not be fixed but still

[pallid mural]

i know i shouldn’t be “hoping” for anything but the most accurate science but… i can’t help but hope troodon comes back fr

he may be just a tooth but his loss has wounded my heart lmao

[pallid mural]

could be worse ig lol

Anyways back to the topic of this thread uhhh

I’ll second kentrosaurus as another stegosaur fr

[fiery crow]

since when

[peak hazel]

where else would it be

[cosmic cosmos]

nah bro its gonna be in the wetlands update obviously

[mint creek]

It's a secret pick for U17 of course

[mint creek]

Actually thinking about it wouldn't it be funny as fuck if the new species added to the Trello was for U19 but they moved Utah to U18 to hide it

[pallid mural]

the state of utah is what is confirmed not the raptor /s

[coarse inlet]

Which kritosaur would be best to add?

[cosmic cosmos]

gryposaurus

[coarse inlet]

yeah, I could see that

it has cohabitation potential

[low bridge]

Top 4 Giraffs for Prehistoric Kingdom:
Sivatherium Giganteum&Hendei& Maurusium
Shansitherium
Paleotragus
Injanatherium

[feral cedar]

Also, the recent Muttaburrasaurus paper has indirectly made Gryposaurus (and kritosaurs for that matter) more distinct by letting them keep the large-nosed ornithopod look

[shy vale]

eocarchia

the infamous "archeoraptor" fake

[flint sable]

Archaeoraptor but yes

would Piltdown Man also apply..?

[shy vale]

also variraptor, kryptops, and protathlitis

[flint sable]

that wasnt so much a chimaera as it was a hoax

[shy vale]

that was a total fake

oh, and luchibang

but in light of maip popularity, would kank become more popular as a potential suggestion?

[fresh ember]

Well, that's a TIL.

[ancient ibex]

Eocarcharia's name-bearing element is likely Suchomimus

There is carcharodontosaur material associated

Likely close to Acrocanthosaurus as well

[fiery crow]

May 29, Vegavis isai.

[burnt shore]

More mesozoic birds would be cool

[coarse inlet]

Vegavis would be neat, especially since it was from a pretty cold place

Not as icy as modern Antarctica but comparable to the steppe in southern Patagonia

[outer moth]

Ah, it's that one Troodontid with allegations

Ah nevermind

Confused it for Hypnovenator

Xeno's innocent

[mint creek]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-alien-alien-yapping-levels-just-the-two-of-us-gif-996330645811370798

[sullen moon]

Dryptosaurus?

[crimson burrow]

Kank australis?

[cosmic cosmos]

i think austro is just the better pick

[cosmic cosmos]

Bawitius bartheli
A giant bichir from the Bahariya formation/Kem Kem beds, contemporary with Spinosaurus aegypticus, Carcharodontosaurus, Rebbachisaurus, Stomatosuchus, Mawsonia etc

[fiery crow]

there’s a LOT of critters we could use from the Bahariya Formation

[cosmic cosmos]

for sure, wish the leptocleidid from there had diagnostic material

[feral cedar]

it was described yesterday

[peak hazel]

no its the perfect addition

way better than Austroraptor

[slim flare]

And it needs to be in PK tomorrow

[silver steeple]

I wonder if it could be an alt.....

[silver steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/morgan-freeman-true-morgan-freeman-true-nodding-gif-13973817878387504960

[crimson burrow]

Yutyrannus? (Or is it confirmed in the upcoming updates?)

[rigid spindle]

Not confirmed, but likely for post-EA

Afair the only confirmed species are:
4 allo species (U17)
2 pachycephalo species (U17)
Baryonyx
Utahraptor
Carnotaurus (soft confirmed)
Dodo (dlc)
Thylacine (dlc)
Equus aka h o n s e (dlc)
Great auk (dlc)
Carolina parakeet (dlc)
Passenger pigeon (dlc)

[flint sable]

yes

u also forgot moa

also equus is 2 species

also also the roadmap speculation which has been 100% correct* thus fas has the additional species of

deinosuchus
ambulocetus
edmontonia
doedicurus
megatherium
kelenken

[flint sable]

stuff has been added to it and stuff has been moved around but everything on it has come

[pallid mural]

i do hope we get at least one other stegosaur genus at some point fr

but that list looks peam

[shy vale]

"peam?"

[fiery crow]

May 30, Annakacygna hajimei.

[autumn plover]

Did Mau not reconfirm Yangchuanosaurus?

[mint creek]

He's mentioned he likes it but not that it's confirmed

[autumn plover]

Just searched it and I did get it wrong

He just apologised for slandering Yang, nothing more

[alpine thicket]

I think Yang has good chances but yeah not directly addressed.

[slim flare]

What’s the * for?

[slim flare]

You forgot aurochs

[rigid spindle]

Was it confirmed?

[carmine spade]

Yes, for recently extinct DLC

Also Mau confirmed Arthropleura and Meganeura were coming at some point on Reddit

No info on when tho

[left spear]

Honestly probably u19

[carmine spade]

That’s my guess as well, yeah

[left spear]

There's 2 very suspicious recently added spots that fit their diets

[mint creek]

what do you guys think of the suggestions from this new user

[slim flare]

Reminds me of when people suggest Tarbosaurus

[left spear]

why would they

absolute waste of a slot

you'd need to be a lobotomite to add it to the game

thank god for the devs

[craggy sigil]

Gigantoraptor

Behaviour- young gigantoraptor would stay with they’re parents foraging for food and interacting/socialising with others in its group, once its near fully grown they would leave they’re group and find another group similar in age for protection and a chance to find a mate.

Mating season behaviour- gigantoraptors will let out loud rumbling calls that would attract females and other competition, when trying to impress a female they would essentially “dance” waving around its feathers and stomping the ground to prove its strength, if another male tries to gain the females attention the other male would intimidate the other male through stomps, loud calls and trying to make themselves look bigger, if they don’t back down they would occasionally peck eachother till the weaker or smaller male would back down and leave.

Nesting behaviour- the gigantoraptor will leave its group to become hyper aggressive and would intimidate anything though bellows, stomps or false charges to anything comes near its young or nest, if they don’t back down they would attack the animal through pecks, kicks or stomps.

Diet- it would eat leaves, nuts, fruit, seeds, small animals like lizards, mammals etc or carrion if it gets the chance.

[feral cedar]

Didn't you already place this exact suggestion

[peak hazel]

I'm sure I remember this

[craggy sigil]

Cenozoic dlc animals idea

Josephoartigasia
Amphicyon
Gastornis
Aenocyon
Diprotodon
Procoptodon
Embolotherium
Desmostylus
Synthetoceras

[feral cedar]

Allosaurus anax could be a cool species for the game

[craggy sigil]

Yh but I neeed to put a picture I deleted the other one

[flint sable]

stuff has been moved around and things have been added

but everything on there has come

[peak hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-random-kid-random-kid-gif-10698606526004440975

[mint creek]

I'd pefer Saurophaganax personally

[trail moth]

id like to see a. europaeus

[low bridge]

I am Nice Dude so i mostly suggest Cool Stuff Overall,so once again I suggest to all Awesome Dudes bunch of Prehistoric Mammals like Titanotylopus, Arsinoitherium, Embolotherium, Prolibytherium, Discokeryx, Synthetoceras, Menoceras, Platybelodon, Stegotetrabelodon, Ancylotherium, Sivatherium, Deinotherium, Enjoy and I wish U all Nice Day

[craggy sigil]

Armored animal pack dlc pack

Jakapil

Desmatosuchus

Vancleavea

Scutosaurus

Glyptodon

[rigid spindle]

is vancleavea really armored?

oh dang it is

[coarse inlet]

Vancleavea is the MOST armored

[coarse inlet]

Agustinia isn't armored sadly

[craggy sigil]

Sorry

[hollow flower]

No worries

[craggy sigil]

Brown rat
These can be spawned with small placed burrows or can be toggled to make their own burrows, they can be hunted by smaller predators for stimulation and can increase comfort.

[fiery crow]

I’m a pretty big no to anything revolving around live prey

[feral cedar]

it reeks of JP and not in the good way

[flint sable]

we technically have live prey in the form of termites and fish from the tidepool but other than that I think live prey is unnessecary

[slender tangle]

Make an rc car that drags a meat cart the carnivores can chase

[pallid mural]

dress it up as a somewhat goofy looking herbivore too lol

much more ethical way to let them use their hunting instincts

also would let the game show off the hunting mechanics for the carnivores outside of the context of interspecies interaction

[fiery crow]

May 31, Sarkastodon mongoliensis.

[coarse inlet]

What I will say is that sometimes the animals get live prey regardless of whether the zoo wants them to

At the zoo I worked at, we had wild lizards, ducks, and turkeys get got by carnivores after straying into their enclosures

[pallid mural]

fair enough not much you can do about that anyways lol

[vital grove]

tbf an argument could be made for letting carnivores show their natural behaviour.. especially since were getting combat anyway. even within reptile care sometimes a snake refuses to eat dead food and you just dont have a choice but to feed it live mice

not saying t rex would be this picky but its not that uncommon to live feed things as people would expect

[robust heath]

My chud son

[mild rose]

I remember seeing a video where a wild boar somehow got into a hyena enclosure. Needless to say, did not end well for the boar 😬

[craggy sigil]

What’s so bad about Jp also what do rats have to do with jp

[peak hazel]

the movie Jurassic Park is good

[fresh ember]

It's more the fact Jurassic Park has live animals fed to their carnivores.

[peak hazel]

but the practises the in universe Jurassic Park uses are not

live feeding is one of those examples

[fresh ember]

Apart from ethical concerns, the biggest problem with live feeding is that the prey animals, which include rats, can fight back, leaving nasty injuries.

Which is something you don't want for your animals.

[craggy sigil]

Yea probably

Maybe could just be fed when it’s dead/frozen

[feral cedar]

JP is a good movie, but it shouldn’t be used as inspiration for zoos

[slim flare]

Coward

[vital grove]

in most cases and then its preferred but there are cases where the animal just refuses dead prey

but dino combat is coming aswell so i dont think there have to be ethical feeding concerns about the game maybe they could make it optional since seeing a dinosaur hunt is cool

[craggy sigil]

Optional is definitely for the better for the people that don’t like seeing the carnivores hunt live prey

[craggy sigil]

?

[pallid mural]

this has inspired me to post an idea based on a few discussions actually hang on

[vital grove]

i dont expect it to be more graphic than the combat system and JWE goats. so it can easily be optional

[craggy sigil]

Heterodontosaurus

Therizinosaurus

Maip

[reef relic]

It's far better, healthier, and safer to feed your carnivores whole carcasses for enrichment.
The zoo I worked at would often give the lions and wild dogs whole carcasses to eat, sometimes hanging them from tree limbs to stimulate predatory behaviors and get them some exercise. Oftentimes it was whole rabbits or chickens for the dogs and cheetahs, and cow legs for the lions. Once it was an entire goat.

Funnily enough the predators never hesitated to go for a whole carcass, but one time the keepers painstakingly made zebra out of cardboard boxes, painted it, and stuffed it with organ meats for the three cubs' first birthday. The cubs were terrified of it and refused to go anywhere near it until they let mom out with them, and she promptly knocked it over.

[alpine thicket]

imagine if an uncanny not-quite-right cow appeared on your lawn inexplicably and just stared at you
turns out it's fake and filled with refrigerated steaks but

[fiery crow]

June 1, Eoraptor lunensis.

[feral cedar]

That second picture is eerily AI-like

I'm not criticizing you btw I'm just letting you know

[fresh ember]

Yeah, DinosaurPictures utilizes AI imagery.

[warm ice]

It probably saw "raptor" in the name and said "Oh yeah I got this one, it has raptor in the name so it must be similar to a Jurassic Park raptor!"
which is why it looks like a JP raptor

[silver steeple]

Can someone send the "translated" version of the blurred EA roadmap thing

[silver steeple]

Thanks

[fiery crow]

it’s been VERY correct so far

[flint sable]

100% correct

except stuff has been moved around and things have been added

[toxic oriole]

acrocanthosaurus would love that

or astrodon

[warm ice]

is acro social in the game, i forget

if it isnt it definitely won't be able to bring down an adult Sauroposeidon, a 1v1 for these two would probably mostly always go to Sauroposeidon

[shy vale]

what's the post-release screenshot thing?

no i got it

actually why can't ornithomimus be an alt for gallimimus?

or is it too extreme?

[peak hazel]

I don't think they form groups but they can live together

[median relic]

after the next batch of dinosaurs are added I'd love to see a several update streak of just adding currently unrepresented mammal groups and other cenozoics

I really want ground sloths and entelodonts

[cosmic cosmos]

striding kapro makes a comeback?
https://x.com/LiterallyMiguel/status/2061598175241077030

Literally Miguel 🇻🇪💥🔫 (@LiterallyMiguel)

Mahajangasuchus skeletal!

(remade with scans and me better knowing what im doing this time a year later, lol)

It never had your regular croc proportions, this is a proud long-legged notosuchian!
with large, strong legs and girdles, and perhaps a ventrally-facing glenoid

X · Jun 1, 2026, 11:58 PM

[desert flame]

If Deinosuchus is added, the model might be closer to the latest reconstruction.

If two Deinosuchus species are added, I hope one of them will be a model similar to this one.

[craggy sigil]

I don’t think we need sauroposeidon

It’s very similar to brachi

[desert flame]

It may become an alt species of Brachiosaurus.

[peak hazel]

they're not that similar

if we got a late addition alt for Brachio it'd be Giraffititan

[craggy sigil]

Yh maybe a alt species because of the close similarities

[final quest]

giraffititan would be nice

[fresh ember]

Yes, please!

[wary nacelle]

Described just today Ambystoma quetzalcoatli NEEDS to be in the game because it’s extinct axolotl trust ✌️🥹🌹

Very complete skeleton see

[left spear]

truge truge

[feral cedar]

JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS

THAT’S the latest reconstruction?

[slim flare]

Yeah?

[left spear]

I mean

Far from the most bobblehead crocodile

[feral cedar]

I was moreso referring to sheer size

[left spear]

Deino has been that size for like 10 years

If anything it got slightly downsized like 2 years ago

[feral cedar]

It just looks bigger in that skeletal

hold on

[left spear]

Bigger jaws

[slim flare]

The size comparison is a woman

[left spear]

I mean maybe she's 7 feet tall

[pallid mural]

still a large lad

[left spear]

Nah

Riverine puppy

[feral cedar]

what dog breed is that

[pallid mural]

ok have fun trying to pet it

[ancient ibex]

Mole salamander tho

[left spear]

I mean for salamanders there's not much you can add

Even for RE something like Yunnan is too small

There's a 2 meter long Hellbender from i think the pliocene

But even then it's not that great

I'd rather have Habrosaurus than a salamander

[ancient ibex]

Still, a fossil Ambystoma isn't really much

[left spear]

Oh i wasn't arguing for it lol

It's like... fine ig?

[ancient ibex]

Thinking it has to be an axolotl-like neotenic one is a bit of a reach

[left spear]

But there's like unironically like 50 amphians i'd rather see before a not-axolotl

[ancient ibex]

I beliee

[left spear]

I mean neoteny is very common in that group of amphibians

[ancient ibex]

Albanerpetons would be cool

[left spear]

Sure obviously no guarantees but i don't think it's a bad assumption either

[ancient ibex]

In Ambystoma? It is, but even more common among them is fully developing lol

[left spear]

Aren't most too small?

[ancient ibex]

I'm afraid so

[left spear]

Btw Ambystoma has always felt to me like a criminal waterbasket

[ancient ibex]

Nope

32 species and AFAIK monophyletic, fair deal

[left spear]

(Tbf same case with Varanus even if not as many species)

Anyways for my gluppshitto amphibian suggestion of the day is propose Mioproteus

Just a neogene proteid

But proteids are cool so

[ancient ibex]

Varanus can be argued to be a different case because it has old splits and quite noticeable diversity, while Ambystoma isn't nowhere near that

Varanus also has the issue with Nile monitors and lace monitors having to be in separate genera under any split, and Niles will complicate stuff quite readily

June 2, Pezosiren portelli.

[lean hound]

Disproportionate

It deserves coty treatment

[fiery crow]

early manatee relative

[lean hound]

I don't like it

[low bridge]

Moeritherium would be Welcome in Prehistoric Kingdom

[fiery crow]

Torontoceros as an alt. genus of Megaloceros

[rigid spindle]

First image: perfect
Second image: severely malnourished

[fiery crow]

it hasn’t been successfully rehydrated yet

[rigid spindle]

Hypotonic vs hypertonic ahh mammal

[slim flare]

Alt genera/species additions have never occurred and I believe consistently said not to be coming

[craggy sigil]

Unique dinosaurs (maybe dlc?)

Lurdusaurus- a semi aquatic herbivorous dinosaur, would move in the water like a hippo.

Aquilarhinus- mainly eats aquatic plants, maybe an alt species of muttabarrasaurus.

Troodon- could possibly (plausible) mimic other sounds for social interactions, to scare off threats by mimicking the sounds of large predators, mimicking the sound of other animals like small herbivores or parent dinosaurs calling their hatchlings to create a false sense of safety or momentarily confusion to kill it.

Camptosaurus- could have a rare symbiotic relationship with other herbivores like stegosaurus, being an early warning system and letting out calls to alert the herd of predators.

Bonapartenykus- mainly an insectivore, using its arms to rip open termite mounds.

[slim flare]

I’d love Troodon once we know what to call it

[peak hazel]

same

[left spear]

What if we called it Troodon

[brave pier]

What if we called it Trooodon

[rigid spindle]

What if we called it Troodon (slowed + reverb)

[next saffron]

I wonder which paleozoic animals could be eligible for actual enclosures and not terrariums

[slim flare]

Dimetrodon

[lean hound]

Permian synapsids

[slim flare]

Those and Scutosaurus

[next saffron]

Eryops maybe?

Yes it was an amphibian but I think it would be hefty enough

[pallid mural]

Dimetroodon

[alpine thicket]

A lot of temnospondyls did not have tadpoles and were quite large.

But yeah a decent chunk of later paleozoic animals can easily be freeroam.

[fiery crow]

Prionosuchus and Pholiderpeton

[alpine thicket]

Prionosuchus especially please it's so cool

[fiery crow]

Eryops

[alpine thicket]

Eryops too yeah its plenty big.

[slim flare]

Rhinesuchus

[craggy sigil]

Prehistoric fish

Hyneria

Knightia

Mawsonia

Oncorhynchus

Coccosteus

[trail moth]

Anteosaurus.

[brave pier]

Cotylorhynchus

[fiery crow]

Ophiacodon

[cinder radish]

Enough for at least two full dlcs lol

[left spear]

Priono might have to be an aquatic

Atleast if they go for the huge size estimates

[alpine thicket]

true but if we get freeroam-in-tanks for aquatics then like

It'd be big enough for them

[left spear]

If we get Priono as an aquatic i just ask for a thing

One skin with gills

please

It looks so cool even if it's unrealistic

[ancient ibex]

Crocolotl

[left spear]

Axodile

[proper raven]

Eryops having the cognitive awareness of a frog while being croc sized would be really funny ngl

Frogs are the fakest animals

They’re heads with legs, grow from ugly fish and are beyond stupid

[low bridge]

Bullfrogs are worse

[ancient ibex]

What midbrain optic processing does to a mf

(Motherfrogger)

[fiery crow]

bullfrogs are just voracious assholes
