Segisaurus is an Early Jurassic meat-eater that seemed adapted for life in a dry, sandy environment. Though all early dinosaur predators had evolved to be quicker than the animals they replaced, scientists believe Segisaurus has features that made it extra fast.

The North American landscape where Segisaurus lived was very arid and sandy. This little dinosaur seemed to have features that would have made it well adapted to squatting down and sitting out a sandstorm. With only post-cranial remains, the exact look of this dinosaur is unknown.[1]

History

Jurassic Park

Segisaurus map icon

Segisaurus map icon.

A Segisaurus‘ icon was located on a map of the Jurassic Park brochure, but the animal was never seen on-screen. On the map, the Segisaurus enclosure is located at the far southern end of the island where the tourist route does not connect. However, it is unknown if this enclosure was ever constructed.[2][3] Segisaurus was planned to be an attraction in Jurassic Park, with 48% of its genome being completed,[4] but sadly, this had to be put on hold due to the Isla Nublar Incident of 1993.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

It is unknown what happened to the Segisaurus populations in 2018, but it is known that Segisaurus was subject to cruelty at some point in the past.[5]

Games

Jurassic World Evolution 2

Segisaurus was found within the game's audio files of Jurassic World Evolution 2, it is currently unknown whether it was cut entirely or part of a future pack.[6] If the latter is true then this would makes Segisaurus‘ first appearance in a Jurassic Park video game and a long return since its appearance in Jurassic Park Institute.

Trivia

  • The map logo of the Segisaurus features a skull. However, the only known Segisaurus skeleton does not have a skull.[7]
  • Segisaurus appeared on the Jurassic Park Institute website, in the Dinopedia section. The picture in the entry, and shown in the infobox on this page, is the only image of the Segisaurus in the entire franchise.
