Ouranosaurus (meaning "brave lizard") was a hadrosauriform dinosaur that lived in Africa during the Early Cretaceous period. Ouranosaurus had a hump similar to that of present day camels. Ouranosaurus lived in Africa during the Cretaceous period, alongside predators like Suchomimus, Eocarcharia, and Sarcosuchus, and was their common prey.

Behavioral[]

Ouranosaurus has displayed aggressive behavior towards campers and Bumpy the ankylosaur due to the presence of Scorpius rex, a violent hybrid. This dangerous predator has forced the herbivores to establish a territory with limited access to food and water resources, leading to a lack of care and abundance. Witnessing their kind being hunted by this formidable threat, the Ouranosaurus have become aggressive in order to defend their territory and ensure the departure of trespassers, even resorting to chasing them away into the sea if necessary.

History[]

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous[]

Ouranosaurus was one of the dinosaurs bred by InGen on Isla Nublar for Jurassic World. These clones have a dark brown color on their body, a cream-colored underside, blue crest, and an orange colored sail with cream-colored stripes running horizontally across it. The clones also had a dewclaw on their hind limbs, which the original animals lacked in real life. They also have the ability to gallop on all fours.

Safe Harbor[]

While a group of survivors stranded on Isla Nublar after the Jurassic World Incident were searching through an abandoned dock for supplies, they were attacked by a very territorial Ouranosaurus pair. One of the Ouranosaurus engages in a brief confrontation with Bumpy. However the Ouranosaurus is easily defeated and accepts its defeat.

The children eventually arrive back at their boat and attempt to escape with it, but the Ouranosaurus swim after them until the kids set off fireworks and scare the dinosaurs away. After returning to shore, the Ouranosaurus were killed by the Scorpios rex.

Eye of the Storm[]

A spooked Ouranosaurus is among a stampede of dinosaurs fleeing from the Scorpius rex.

It is unknown if the species survived until 2018, and if so, whether they were a transported to the Lockwood Manor, escaped the island by swimming to different lands, or became extinct.
