Megalodon and Deinosuchus, good stuff to consider

[hamerous]

Hi there,

Since we have much more possibilities in JWE2 i want to present not dinosaurs but important creatures as an interesting concept to add.
Megalodon for our amazing lagoons and Deinosuchus as land animal. This would be so cool to see them in the game and in the acion! Who like this idea more than me?

Creatures:

• Megalodon as aqutic animal,
• Deinosuchus as land animal.

Regards

Even if we assume Frontier would ever add sharks (they can't breath out of the water, so how do you care for their injuries?), Carcharocles megalodon is a Cenozoic animal... if they did add such things I don't see them making a shark their top priority.

As a typical crocodilian, Deinosuchus is semi-aquatic... until they take the needs of such animals seriously, adding Deinosuchus or any other semi-aquatic animal would be pointless.

This is a game that requires a helicopter to pick up a compy. I'm pretty sure we can let this go

So is the spinosaurus and all of its relatives as well as the dimetrodon. A deinosuchus would totally work.

Clearly we have very different definitions of semi-aquatic... also, since when was Dimetrodon a swimming animal?

I honestly would like to see a Meg and some other rarer ones like the Archaeopteryx. Crocs and salamander types would be cool too.

I mean, semiaquatic is any animal that lives on both land and water. A crocodile wouldn't be a big stretch from how the game works...

And in Dominion, in the Amber Mines underneath BioSyn Valley, there were some dimetrodons living there. At least one of them was submerged underwater

Crocodiles swim... and spend extended periods of time living in water... they don't just crawl along the bottom of a body of water to get to the other side... which is all the terrestrial animals can do at this point in time. If they can't get swimming and other such aquatic behaviors for semiaquatics to work, it would be a huge stretch for them to be in the game...

One Dimetrodon pulling itself from the water doesn't make them semiaquatic... that's like saying Jurassic's Spinosaurus needs to be a swimmer, even though it's shown to be almost exclusively terrestrial, even venturing in areas devoid of water and hunting terrestrial prey.

The fact is, it'd work. Not having submerged swimming won't be the end of the world. It'd still be able to run, hunt, rest in water. Would proper aquatic behaviors add to it? Totally. Will it ruin the game if a crocodile (technically an alligator) doesn't have it? No, it wouldn't.
Looking for realism in this game is pointless when a raptor can ram a jeep and make it fly or when a huge helicopter is used to transport a compy to another part in the park

That's kinda not a good comparison when the spinosaurs are famous for being swimmers. I mean, honestly it should be, given its lifestyle and habits. Dimetrodons are depicted in-game as creatures requiring swamps, due to the sheer amount of water they need in a habitat
