Dryosaurus was the one star wonder of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (one of my personal favorites as well) and I was wondering if it is going to be in Jurassic World: Evolution.
The Morrison formation has already been confirmed, so I am hoping that this species of ornithopod makes it into the game so players can have flocks of them just like in JPOG.
Comparing it to the other ornithopods already revealed, they would appear small. However, actual specimens have been recorded to be from 8 to 14 feet long. (1)
Adult specimens have not been discovered either, so it could be possible that the species could have grown larger. (1)
Below is a link to a website called Prehistoric Wildlife that has a size comparison of a large adult dryosaurus with a human male.

An image like that gives me hope, but if dryosaurus was not planned for during production it will probably not be in the initial roster at release. At that point, just have to hope it will be part of a DLC pack if that.
Thoughts?
