Mamenchisaurus redesign

Hello to all reading my thought :)

I love this game but the one thing that really disappointing to me is the Mamenchisaurus design the Mamenchisaurus is my favorite dinosaur out of all the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park franchise it looks more like a Brachiosaurs than a Mamenchisaurus to me I recall the Mamenchisaurus front and back legs were at the same height not the front legs more heigher than the back and the tail a little bit longer the Mamenchisaurus doesn’t have to be taller than the Brachiosaurs I’m not putting any Mamenchisaurus in any of my parks because to me It’s doesn’t look like the Mamenchisaurus I know from the lost world which is really sad :( but I hope some can agree with me and I hope frontier can at least consider my thought if not I understand i love you guys and frontier :) <3

Well - the reason I think Frontier went with the look of the Mamenchisaurus that they did - was because in of it's brief appearance in TLW. In that scene - the Mamenchisaurus is seen with it's long neck craning it's head high above it's back and shoulders (about 50-60 feet above the ground).

But in many paleo artist renditions - I have also seen Mamenchisaurus with it's long neck and head not much higher than it's back. Keep in mind that in real life neither Brachiosaurus or Mamenchisaurus regularly held their heads as in the JP/JW movies.

The JWE Mamenchisaurus is actually closer to the real life dino than the TLW Mamenchi. (though still not perfect)

The TLW design was based on outdated information which suggested Mamenchisaurus was a diplodocid-like animal, which it isn't.

The TLW design was based on outdated information which suggested Mamenchisaurus was a diplodocid-like animal, which it isn't. The real Mamenchi did have a superficially brachiosaur-like build and a boxy Camarasaurus-like skull. The tail of Mamenchi was extremely short for a sauropod (not the whiptail seen in the film), and may have sported a club although this is disputed.

I understand that thank you for clearing things up but all I’m saying I like the lost world design a lot more
