Now this is only a minor thing I've noticed, and needless to say it won't affect how I feel about the game because as is always the case with Jurassic Park dinosaurs they're not meant to be scientifically accurate. But basing my thoughts off of the Jurassic World Evolution website's Research tab, I've noticed a few size 'anomalies' that I think are quite interesting. Below is the link to the section of the website:

I first noticed this when looking looking at the Kentrosaurus species profile, and noticed it was tier 3 on the size scale. I didn't think anything of it at first but then looked at the Stegosaurus and saw that it was tier 2, despite the fact that the Stegosaurus is EASILY the largest member of its family and is also literally double the length of the Kentrosaurus.
I also noticed that the Parasaurolophus was also tier 2, despite being almost the same size as Corythosaurus (and being bigger than a Stegosaurus thus Kentrosaurus as well). This puts it on the same size category as Dilophosaurus and Velociraptor too, which are clearly much smaller than a Parasaurolophus, in fact I'd argue that these are both smaller than Gallimimus too which is the only dinosaur to be size tier 1.
One more species I noticed is the size of the Ceratosaurus (although I understand that in JP3 it's massive compared to its real life counterpart so this would make sense).
I've noticed a few odd things with these ratings that Frontier have given these dinosaurs (such as the Velociraptor only having tier 1 attack despite the fact it's one of the most dangerous animals in the JP franchise behind the Indominus, T-Rex and Spinosaurus), but the main thing I've been trying to wrap my head around is does all this mean that dinosaur sizes have been altered for JWE? Or is this just something that's been overlooked on the website? Or am I just looking too deeply into this? I'd like to hear what you guys think!
