Deinonychus' Fleshy Crest
I know it is great and all for Deinonychus to be appearing, but I do wonder why it has that fleshy crest. Fact is, Deinonychus in life had NO crest. Anyone explain this? Abnormal feature? Mutation? Normal? Mingaba (talk) 03:09, December 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * Probably to distinguish it from Velociraptor, since they'd be otherwise identical. CrashBash (talk) 05:39, December 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * Also, the devs did say that players could change the appearances of their dinosaurs through finding more DNA or through choice in this game. Maybe the crest is an abnormal feature that can be changed through finding DNA or a choice you can add to the dinosaur? Animalman57 (talk) 05:54, December 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * It's also not a fleshy crest, but clearly bony. Animalman57 (talk) 06:03, December 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * If I had to choose an agreement between CrashBash and AnimalMan, I would have to go with CrashBash, because if Deinonychus was ever cloned (especially in Jurassic World and if it is appearing for JW:FK), it might have had that crest to distinguish it from other dromaeosaurs. Mingaba (talk) 13:49, December 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * The short stocky skull with an eye ridge seem to be enough to distinguish this Deinonychus from Velociraptor. Animalman57 (talk) 10:16, December 27, 2017 (UTC)

(UK) PC Gamer Magazine Sneak Peek.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a sneak peek from UK’s PC Gamer magazine. --NarendraMartosudarmo (talk) 01:51, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

Also, the dinosaurs that are walking through the watering hole are Dilophosaurus. You can tell from their head crests. --NarendraMartosudarmo (talk) 03:07, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

Does this mean we should add Dilophosaurus to the list of confirmed dinosaurs? The devs already let slip that it would be in the game, but we were waiting for a picture before we added it to the list. Is this enough of a picture? 03:30, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

Sometimes I think that we should wait until we get a larger, clearer view of the species. --NarendraMartosudarmo (talk) 03:32, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

What are the dinosaurs in that watering hole? Dinosaurus1 (talk) 03:40, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

A Camarasaurus, two Brachiosaurus, an Edmontosaurus, two Ankylosaurus, three Parasaurolophus, two Triceratops, and what appears to be two Dilophosaurus. --NarendraMartosudarmo (talk) 03:49, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

Apparently, it's not a Dilophosaurus. The head of animation confirmed that it's actually just part of a log. 22:24, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

Apparently, it IS a Dilophosaurus. The head of animation was mistaken. Animalman57 (talk) 07:28, February 13, 2018 (UTC)

New Fallen Kingdom dinosaurs in Evolution?
Due to, it makes sense that the dinosaurs that weren't in the previous movies, but have been added for this film, to be added to the game, based on their designs here: Allosaurus, Sinoceratops, Carnotaurus, Baryonyx, and Stygimoloch. Animalman57 (talk) 07:26, February 13, 2018 (UTC)

More Jurasic Park based skins?
We know that customized dinosaurs will be a thing. So, will it be like Mesozoica and Prehistoric Kingdom where you can chose you're preferred skins/model resigns. Let's say you don't like the based Stegosaurus due to the drooping tail and somewhat skin wrapped body that the game model is based on. If what I am suggesting is true, you could pick the Stegosaurs not only in color, but model and rig. Of course, you'd need to unlock the skin first, but once done, you could do that. Animalman57 (talk) 07:45, February 13, 2018 (UTC)

I'd LOVE that. That would be for extra variety. Bu I don't think it would happen, because, well, most JP games have one, but I would be very surprised if they do it. Dinosaurus1 (talk) 00:39, February 15, 2018 (UTC)

Jurassic World: Evolution Dinosaurs Category
I propose creating a category for the creatures of Jurassic World: Evolution. How do you make a category, though? Dinosaurus1 (talk) 00:39, February 15, 2018 (UTC)

Ornithomimus in JW: Evolution?
With the introduction to Gallimimus into the game, an another ornithomimid that they should add is Ornithomimus itself. This would work great cause there is a American digsite (the Horseshoe Canyon formation) that could match and it would be in the game after being cut from JP:OG. I'd like if the Ornithomimus was mainly grey with a sky blue head and neck like in this JP:OG Ornithomimus fan art and in the miniseries Prehistoric Park. Maybe add a red tail tip for some more flair. Other dinos that could be added from that formation are Pachyrhinosaurus (could be based on the original Mattel JW: Fallen Kingdom toy) and Albertosaurus (Could be mainly tan with a white underbelly, brown stripes and orange eye crests).

10 dinos from the series that should be in Jurassic World: Evolution (this is my own list and opinion, not concrete)
These are prehistoric creatures I want in Jurassic World: Evolution from the series. These are the 10 ten dinos from the JP franchise (games, novels and movies mostly) that should come to the game. All of them are based on the digsite map. The gallery below shows what I want them to look like in the game.

10: Microceratus: The Microceratus is one of the dinos that was prominent in the novels and was said to appear in the Jurassic World park, though it didn't appear in the film itself. Maybe mix aspects of both the novel version and the Jurassic World version. For example, maybe the main design is based on the JW version, and give it the ability to swap between being a quadruped and a biped, since the promotional stuff for Microceratus show that could do so. But from the novels, you could give the ability to climb trees, which would give it an interesting game-play aspect, where you have to keep trees away from the fences so it does jump out of the enclosure.

9: Maiasaura: Maiasaura wasn't in any of the films so far (although it was mentioned in scene 33 of the script for The Lost World film, and some of their actions were transferred to the Parasaurolophus) but its' quite prominent in the novels. Maiasaura would be interesting to see and nice to get a new design based on novel canon. Color could be whatever the game decides since as far as I'm aware, it was never given a color description in either of the novels.

8: Compsognathus: Compsognathus was a popular dino in the JP film series, due to their size and role in The Lost World. With their return in Fallen Kingdom, it makes sense to add them to the game. Compsognathus would be an interesting addition in the game, as dinos of that size would be nice to see and really different from JP: Operation Genesis.

7: Ouranosaurus: Ouranosaurus never appeared in any of the films so far or the novels. Its' most prominent role so far has been in JP: Operation Genesis. Its' return would be great and while the same design as Operation Genesis would be nice, it makes more sense for Frontier to make their own design, maybe similar to Planet Dinosaur's design for Ouranosaurus.

6: Mamenchisaurus: Mamenchisaurus was barley in the films, it only appears only in The Lost World film, and even than, very briefly. It was the sauropod during the Game Trail scene where one hunter drove between its' legs with a motorbike. But considering it was in a film, it makes sense to add it to the game. Sticking close to the design of the film version will be difficult due it being barley seen, but its' not impossible.

5: Corythosaurus: Much like Mamenchisaurus, Corythosaurus was barley in the films, only very briefly appearing in Jurassic Park 3. It had even less of a role, only being seen briefly running with Parasaurs. Unlike Mamenchisaurus, though, due to a JP3 creature size chart existing, its' much easier to base it off the film design. The one in JP: Operation Genesis was not that version, so to add the JP3 version into Evolution would make more sense.

4: Kentrosaurus: Kentrosaurus, like Ouranosaurus, never appeared in any of the films so far or the novels and its' most prominent role so far has been in JP: Operation Genesis. However, it makes sense to add it to add a little more variety to the stegosaurs, which unless its' Stegosaurus, don't get featured much at all. I'd like if the color of the Evolution Kentrosaurus to be the same as the level 20 in Jurassic World: The Game. Its' a really nice color, and more visual appealing than a bland brown or grey like most JW dinos.

3: Herrerasaurus: Herrerasaurus was mentioned in the JP films, namely being an attraction on the JP brochure, but never seen. It's most prominent role so far has been in Telltale's Jurassic Park: The Game. The design of the JP: The Game version should be in the game if it ever was added to Evolution. The main red body, black stripes, white underbelly, and yellow marks is such a nicer color to add to the dino than the plain grey, brown or green like most of the carnivores in this franchise. Maybe update it a little, though, by adding an extra finger or two, preferably with those fingers to be smaller and without claws, since being a basal dino, it needs four or five fingers.

2: Allosaurus: With the creature being added to JW: Fallen Kingdom, it makes sense to add it to the game. It has to be based onto the Fallen Kingdom variant since Frontier wants to stick close to the film lore. The Fallen Kingdom Allo seems to stick close to a real Allosaurus, minus some "minor" shrinkwrapping and pronated wrists and while the color is mostly a bland blueish-gray, it does have a creamy underbelly, with white marks all over the body, and a faded red on its crests. For a good example to make it not so bland, it should follow the Fallen Kingdom Mattel toy color design.

1: Spinosaurus: Probably the most anticipated not yet confirmed JP dino for the game, Jurassic Park 3's Spinosaurus, while not my favorite dino in the series (for one big infamous reason), I still like the design. The mix of dark and light gray, a yellowed underbelly, blue circles on the sail, and red splotches around its face, across its back, on the top of the sail, and at the end of its tail color and the strong jaws, immense strength, a thick hide, and a more terrestrial lifestyle is so iconic, that it would be as silly to not to add this dino to the game as the raptors or the rex or Dilophosaurus.

So that's it in terms of the ones I really want. Others to be added could be Baryonyx, Carnotaurus, Stygimoloch, Styracosaurus, Sinoceratops, Oviraptor, Troodon, Carcharodontosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Iguanodon. Animalman57 (talk) 06:34, March 16, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, there was this rumor from 4chan that says that Compsognathus and Giganotosaurus will not be in Jurassic World: Evolution. But that has to be a fake, and cannot be trusted, as with that 'entire story of JW:FK leaked ' leak. Dinosaurus1 (talk) 00:59, March 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * First off, this is what I want, not what's true. 2nd, I never said Giganotosaurus at all in this list. 3rd, and most importantly, we may not know if the 4Chan leak is real or not, we need something to either prove or disprove it, but please don't be condescending to people who think its' fake. Just don't mention it until we got confirmation on if its' true. Is that a reasonable request? Animalman57 (talk) 01:23, March 18, 2018 (UTC)


 * I did not mean in actuality, I meant in general. I never said you mentioned Giganotosaurus, and I am fully aware that these dinosaurs are what you want. I was only referring to the Compsognathus, which is something you want, but will not be in the game, according to that leak. Dinosaurus1 (talk) 02:00, March 18, 2018 (UTC)

I know that the leak said there will be no compys, but again, take it with a pinch of salt and not say its' true until we can confirm it being true. As of the moment, there is no way to say if its' true or false. Animalman57 (talk) 03:09, March 18, 2018 (UTC)

Djadochta Formation
Pretty sure this is where Velociraptor is located in. It may be in alongside Oviraptor and Protoceratops, don't you think? Dinosaurus1 (talk) 19:43, April 6, 2018 (UTC)

It's fully possible that either they'll add it or lump these animals into a nearby formaiton like the Nemegt or Iren Dabshu tigris115 (talk) 17:25, April 6, 2018 (EST)

Possible dinos based on confirmed formations
Due to the developers playing a demo of the game on their channel, we have the list of all the digsites in the game, so we can try and guess which formations have which dinos. Only a few things I should mention about this before I start speculating, though. Most of the digsites seem to have the same dinosaurs over and over again, so I'll try to only add the formations that add new and unique dinos that haven't been confirmed already and try to avoid repeating dinos on my list and any formation with only the known confirmed dinos and/or no other interesting additions will be removed from the list (here is the list of confirmed dinos to make it easier: Ankylosaurus, Apatosaurus, Archaeornithomimus, Brachiosaurus, Camarasaurus, Ceratosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Crichtonsaurus, Deinonychus, Dilophosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Gallimimus, Kentrosaurus, Majungasaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Struthiomimus, Styracosaurus, Suchomimus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and Velociraptor). I'm going to speculate on the Isle of Wight digsite since it's not a digstie and actually has several formations in the area, so we'd need confirmation on what formation we are looking in this area. The names in the quotation marks are what the game will call the area, as it seems they went with a specific area in a larger formation. The images below show what I'd love them to look like. None of this is confirmed, just my own speculation. Enjoy. Animalman57 (talk) 09:20, April 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * Bahariya formation (Carcharodontosaurus)
 * Candeleros formation (Giganotosaurus, possibly an anachronistic Carnotaurus, and possibly an anachronistic Argentinosaurus, since Argentinosaurs are often thought to live with Giga, but didn't)
 * Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry (Allosaurus)
 * Cloverly formation (Tenontosaurus, and Acrocanthosaurus)
 * Dinosaur National Monument (Dryosaurus)
 * Dinosaur Park formation (Corythosaurus)
 * Two Medicine formation "Egg Mountian" (Troodon, Maiasaura, and Einiosaurus)
 * Horseshoe Canyon formation (Pachyrhinosaurus)
 * Wessex formation "Isle of Wight" (Hypsilophodon, Iguanodon and Baryonyx)
 * Maevarano formation (Masiakasaurus)
 * Mackunda formation (Muttaburrasaurus, and possibly an anachronistic )
 * Nemegt formation (Therizinosaurus, and Mononychus)
 * Oxford formation (Callovosaurus)
 * Frontier formation "Peay Sandstone Member" (Nodosaurus)
 * Elrhaz formation "Tegama Beds" (Ouranosaurus and )
 * Dashanpu formation "Ziliujing Formation" (Mamenchisaurus and Yangchuanosaurus)


 * To be honest, I feel the South American digsite will probably be where Carnotaurus is (is that anachronistic?). I only say that because we know it's going to be in Fallen Kingdom, and it'd be kind of strange if it was absent. Unless they don't actually know what dinosaurs are in Fallen Kingdom. CrashBash (talk) 14:17, April 8, 2018 (UTC)


 * That Carnotaurus woud be very anachronistic.Theferretman21 (talk) 23:53, April 8, 2018 (UTC)theferretman21


 * Please remember to sign your posts on a talk page. And I'm only saying that because I think it's the only South American digsite there. CrashBash (talk) 14:42, April 8, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, Carnotaurus is in the , and that one South American formation may be the La Colonia Formation. But who knows? Dinosaurus1 (talk) 20:37, April 8, 2018 (UTC)


 * The list you gave me that showed the digsite is the Candeleros formation, not the La Colonia formation. However, they could still add it. I'll add it to the list above.Animalman57 (talk) 20:41, April 8, 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm going to suggest that Ekrixinatosaurus could be in Candeleros with Giganotosaurus, possibly using a very similar model to Majugasaurus. But it's unlikely --Edaphosaurus (talk) 16:36, April 9, 2018 (UTC)


 * Old post, but in the Dinosaur Park Formation, I think they could add the Panoplosaurus cut from JP:OG. We might also see Thescelosaurus in this game, cut from JP:OG. Dinosaurus1 (talk) 18:19, May 5, 2018 (UTC)

Dat Stegosaur
Two options, Chungkingosaurus and Chialingosaurus, both from the Mamenchisaurus assemblage of the Upper Shaximiao Formation.

This pretty much blows Tsintaosaurus, Sauropelta, Crichtonsaurus and Archaeornithomimus out of the water as "nichest species in JWE"
