Dinosaur's lifetime

I'd imagine it'd be like JPOG's. I guess you'll have to get 50% DNA to make a dinosaur. Of course the more DNA you get the longer it will live. Did I answer your question?
yo creo que podría variar dependiendo del ADN que utilicemos para altera el comportamiento del animal. Como si utilizáramos el ADN de rana con un T-rex, y con otro ADN de camaleón podría alterar la vida del dinosaurio
I very much hope that their bodies are not just left to rot too. This is a strange thing in JPOG.
I wonder how graphic and bloody it will be when it comes to a carnivore killing a human/dinosaur. When the dinos die and when carnivores come to feed I wonder if you'll be able to see a chunk bitten out of the dino. As well as scarring, what if a triceratops survives a trex attack but is injured. Will we see it limp and get better gradually and if it bleeds due to a bite then overtime will we see scarring tissue
I feel like the short dinosaur lifespans in JPOG were to give the player the chore of replacing the dinosaur stock every few ingame years as it only takes about 4-5 ingame years to receive a five-star park. So that way, it could give the player something to do while getting five-stars or after fve stars if you wanted to keep playing. I also wonder if the detail of decaying bodies is in JWE like it was in JPOG and how graphic the violence will be. In JPOG, the only somewhat gross/violent things that happened were decayed, and rotting corpses, small blood splatters when a dinosaur was attacked, and smaller dinosaurs/goats/ and humans being thrassed around and swallowed whole by large carnivores.
I don't know. As people above said JPOG had a set number of years for the life span of the animals. I am sure JWE will be the same but maybe it will be tied into the game some how. Like you have to create new dinos in x amount of in game years. It would definitely keep things interesting. In JPOG life expectancy was tied to the amount of DNA you had for the dinosaur. JWE will be similar. If the dino life spans are too short it will be annoying and expensive to have to replace them frequently. I am sure Frontier will find a balance for this.
As for actual dino life spans I don't think anyone knows. You could always look at modern day animals. Though Dinosaurs weren't like modern day animals except birds. Birds would probably be a better example than reptiles.

This thread is so dark XD I dont want my dino's to die!! XD
Large birds - like Eagles - can live a surprisingly long time, 60+ years (in captivity with good food, protection from predators and vet bills paid for them etc.). Though obviously even an Eagle is tiny compared to most dinosaurs.

Yeah, we should be able to use them as food for carnivores, or perhaps do an autopsy and discover new things, perhaps to make them live longer.
At a minimum we should have to remove the bodies.
And if you don't? (Suggest probable outcome is .. er .. rotting bodies?)
Removal does mean sending people in with the dinos (thinking health and safety here) and though that might give you some kind of bonus, maybe to play (or thrill) visitors for either clean enclosures (or dead workers), I always kind of liked (in JPOG) the scene of carnage surrounding a flock of raptors, deliberately overfed with cattle. Either way, the bodies rotted away fairly quickly - the sound of flies actually quite a good clue that you're paddock might be overstocked - and it is the circle of life after all.

They have various lifetimes, some species will live longer than others.
just keep creating new ones. Although i'd be sad to see my first generation go extinct haha. Defenitely when I try to keep them healthy.
The JWE site has the (relative) lifespans, and we saw in the most recent dev diary (I think) what happens when they die - call in the helicopter to remove the corpse, a bit too big for the workers to handle.
I know compys aren't in the game, but how cool would it be to release a swarm of them as a cleanup crew to scavenge dead dinos, then return to the creation lab. Ha!
