Cenozoic Species Candidates 2024

Jurassic Tyrant King · Nov 2, 2023

after everything we've seen so far with the inclusion of Proto mammals and one super awesome devonian fish which is my favorite, I wouldn't be surprised if Frontier decided to included Cenozoic Species with new types of hatcheries specifically for this group since none of them hatch from eggs. 3 descendants of Dinosaurs that are listed here,and One reptile.

Bonus:
New maps I think a new Tundra map is needed for some of our Ice Age Species. Such as Norway or Greenland Tundras, but most of all with a Northern Lights in the map for us and our guests to enjoy looking at at night.

More Cenozoic Species Candidates in 2024.

Not a bad list... although I'd swap out Borrisiakia for good old Chalicotherium and drop the mystery beast Andrewsarchus. A few other options:

Synthetoceras
Megacerops
Uintatherium
Thylacoleo
Entelodon
Phorusrhacos
Deinotherium
Amphicyon
Meiolania

It's a good list... although I feel there's a bit of redundancy in it now. Don't really see the point of adding multiple mammoths, especially when things like Deinotherium exist... would pick the woolly one and replace the columbian.

I'd say you have a few too many terror birds as well; looking up Brontornis suggests any reconstruction is highly speculative (they can't say if its a terror bird or a gastorniform), so I'd probably cut that one.

Also, while having the Dodo would be cool, I'm not sure how well adding recently extinct and/or killed off by humans would go over... would also open up the possibility of any other recently extinct animals as well...

Oh, and a few more suggestions:

Toxodon
Chilotherium
Arsinoitherium
Thalassocnus
Aepycamelus

Just dropping my ideas for Cenozoic themed DLC's. Would you like to see any of these animals in JWE2?

Wasn't that the point of Jurassic Park, to bring back extinct animals? It could bring in the ethical question to the game. I would like the possibility of bringing back extinct animals that may have died out in a few thousand years or in a couple of years, as in the case of the Northern White Rhino. There are only 2 females left in the world.

I just want to say, there are very limited remains of the Dodo & more illustrations. It's hard to depict what it looked like. However, scientists now have some Dodo DNA & sooner or later they might find a way to clone it.

I've shared this a lot recently, but I think it goes with your topic.

I'd rather they make a game that focuses exclusively on the fauna of that time period

There is a game about dinosaurs and there is another about current fauna. The only thing missing would be a game that focuses on the fauna that existed in the Cenozoic era, with the exception of the current fauna

The game could be called "Cenozoic Planet"

You know I actually think there should be a planet cenozoic an all new game instead of a cenozoic pack now that I think about it. Because now that I'm second-guessing myself I'm actually thinking it would be much better if we actually had a new genre that Frontier could consider creating a park management with cenozoic animals from the cenozoic era only that meaning involving extinct animals that is on this very list above. This is the one genre that no company has ever even tried to make a zoo management game for Cenozoic extinct species so Frontier definitely an idea for you to consider.

Planet cenozoic this is my pitch for Frontier to consider creating this game as a prehistoric version of Planet Zoo. But Only Cenozoic Extinct fauna brought back to life in this game. I wouldn't mind a frontier considered this idea putting our favorite prehistoric Cenozoic Animals on a different game.
