While I'm more drawn to more basal stuff like Propalaeotherium, a few weeks back I was thinking about having Hippidion and Harringtonhippus as alts for Equus.
Not very likely since if its the recent extinct pack its much more likely we will get the Quagga and Tarpan, which is still cool.

Some are confirmed, and understanding blurred things is easy enough; also, that's why "expected" is what is there
We can get an idea of what a blurred name is by lenght, and by knowing how some letters are

Is it bad that I want them to add some modern animals so we could make shots like these

They could have added a brown bear (the actual species) with the cave bear

Both bears lived together and even made hybrids
Some modern brown bears have 0.9-2.4% cave bear DNA

something else I really want is fishes, just some neat selection for aquariums

Dacentrurins and Stegosaurins seem to have lost them IIRC

Spanish researchers Fernando Escaso and Alberto Cobos, who have been working on Iberian stegosaurs for decades, and who assigned remains from Spain and Portugal into Dacentrurus, have been publishing papers since 2010 that argue that Miragaia, named in 2009 by Portuguese researcher Octavio Mateus, represents an specimen of Dacentrurus
As the type specimen of Dacentrurus is a back half and the type specimen of Miragaia is a front half, comparing them is hard as hell, and one would need an specimen that overlaps with BOTH to see if it has the diagnosic characters of either
Add to that that Mateus lumped Morrison stegosaur Alcovasaurus into Miragaia, and...
dusty merlin
so basically if i call it miragaia then im only technically correct (at least at this time) about the front half of the animal
dw i think im getting what you mean im just being silly about it haha
so its basically still debated and saying for certain that its either of the two isnt correct?
unborn oriole
Dacentrurus be liike...
dusty merlin
😭
unborn oriole
We can be certain about both the Morrison and the Lourinha-aged digs in Europe had 2 flavors of Stegosaur: Stegosaurus, and the long necked, spiky assed, slighty smaller one
The taxonomy of the latter lineage is a mess
Dacentrurus is the oldest name (older than Stegosaurus in fact)
dusty merlin
Dacentrurus be liike...
WAIT its dacentrurus, not dacentrus?
okay now im even more firmly in the miragaia camp that name is goofy 😭
unborn oriole
Yup, -urus, as in "tail"
dusty merlin
i see
dusty merlin
rolls off the tongue terribly imo but makes sense
dusty merlin
Dacentrurus will always be a thing anyway
oh yeah. just lowkey hoping miragaia holds as its own thing
unborn oriole
Miragaia is to me a bad name by virtue of just being a place in Porto
Been there, it has a hospital and gentrification
Nice view of Vila Nova de Gaia from there
dusty merlin
oh wasnt aware. i just think its such a catchy name
unborn oriole
Imagine Tyrannosaurus being named Dakota
Just that
Edmontosaurus? More like Edmonton
dusty merlin
like i look at the artwork of it, especially stuff like the pnso figure, and im like "yup, thats miragaia"
so if it was lumped into dacentrurus id be a little bummed out even if it is just a name
unborn oriole
Dacentrurus has been historically a wastebasket taxon fwiw
And, well, I'm aware of how BULLHEADED Iberian academia is, Cobos and Escaso won't question their original assumptions and will keep lumping material into it anyway
And Mateus will keep prodding his taxon and lump stuff into it
Hell, there is a reason the Concavenator description came the way it did: "it has feathers and the hump is for thermoregulation"
feral mortar
nice that Galli is gonna be in U14
dusty merlin

unborn oriole
Differing ideas are good; we need more stuff like what Farke and Scanella were doing with Triceratopsin histology and ontogeny

from what is currently published, Mira is lumped into Dacentrurus
(i do expect someone will probably raise a few eyebrows about it)
dusty merlin
if miragaia has zero fans that means im dead
if its lumped and gone that's gonna be my personal "2014 for spinosaurus fans"
unborn oriole
from what is currently published, Mira is lumped into Dacentrurus
Papers are not patch notes ffs
This has been going since 2010
"Most recent publication takes precedence" is NOT a thing in science
dusty merlin
Papers are not patch notes ffs
they should start putting "removed herobrine" at the end of them
maybe paleontologists would get more dudebro fans into the field proper if they started summing up the papers in the patch notes format 🤔
unborn oriole
Seriously we have had these papers from Escaso and Cobos for FIFTEEN YEARS, the fact that dinosaur fans noticed ONLY this last one and started clamoring the "Miragaia is gone" discourse is... ugh, a headache
Miragaia is contentious
Always has been
Stegosaur phylogenies are quite unstable anyway
dusty merlin
so tl;dr it doesnt really matter at the current point cause we don't know for sure?
i say doesnt matter as like
in situations when you mention miragaia and someone's like "um actually its dacentrurus"
unborn oriole
Just name the long necked, spiky assed stegosaur as you want, but, if you want to use Miragaia, you have to aknowledge Dacentrurus as a separate animal pretty much
dusty merlin
yeah sounds fair to me
feral mortar
"Most recent publication takes precedence" is NOT a thing in science
yea thats why i said itd raise a few eyebrows
unborn oriole
Dacentrurus is the more stable name due to being old
And Miragaia being a synonym of Dacentrurus is NOT the consensus
dusty merlin
like if its properly decided its dacentrurus ill just sigh and move on with my life but its good to know its not as black and white as some people say
feral mortar
yea, ik just seeing how it turns out if anyone else does more work
idm if it stays
or changes
in the end its still an animal
or was an animal

It is not like stuff like Latenivenatrix being Stenonychosaurus, where the diagnostic character was found to fall within Stenonycho individual variation, and a paper that had the guy who named Lateni within its authors had it as a Stenonycho specimen

then ill just look at the pnso figure on my shelf and go "youll always be miragaia in my heart" but like at the end of the day its not a big deal

To say nothing of the evidence of Beringia crossings, as some of the Gobi ones are closer to Laramidian taxa than to other Gobi taxa

Rather then have it be random
simple basin
Ngl I do hope they add the ability to change the size of adults
it should be randomized on choice
like a toggle for sandbox
challenge mode should ofc remain with randomized
but sandbox definitely needs to have a size switch, and if they manage to have that added somewhere… animal deformities, mutations, dimorphism
you can have a male megaloceros with broken or small horns
or a megaloceros with absolutely enormous horns which has reduced speed and usually rests more than the base megaloceros
you could choose that on your own, same with the size
one cool thing would be some rare mutation for the cave lion that gives it a mane
or have a tyrannosaurus carry extra bulk
reminiscent to Scotty
oh and options to customise scars or battle damage for animals

simple basin
They will have more of a challenge mode foccus
when they introduce stuff like injuries, diseases and death, i feel like taking care of the babies will be tough so, it fits
i can imagine juveniles getting sick more than adults, leading to rather short lifespan if not taken care of in time, not to mention parks will likely have a ton of babies since i suppose adults won’t be the first choice
also, I wonder if there will be some sort of social mechanic where males will kill off the young that isn’t genetically theirs
i remember Walking with Beasts having the fact that the smilodon brothers killed off the young in the pride after taking over and getting rid of Half-Tooth, supposedly to not continue his generation
so i wonder if PK will add something similar to the carnivores
digital briar
Yeah that:d definitely be a problem for cats, not because of the pride thing (since irl only American lions are known to have a social system close to modern lions, cave lions seem to live in smaller groups if they lived in prides at all) but because all male big cats would do that (and it's unlikely a female would adopt young that aren't hers unless they were mixed with a litter she currently has)
Theropods would largely depend on how much parental care went into their young hut even for solitary ones that might pose a risk of adults predating the young for no other reason than hunger
obtuse osprey
Yeah, the babies certainly pose more of a park managment aspect
