I think it would be nice if the developers would add some non-pterosaur species to the game. Some species I would like to see added include:
Yi qi, A genus of scansoriopterygid dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic of China. It is known from a single fossil specimen of an adult individual found in Middle or Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Hebei, China, approximately 159 million years ago. It was a small, possibly tree-dwelling (arboreal) animal. Like other scansoriopterygids, Yi possessed an unusual, elongated third finger, that appears to have helped to support a membranous gliding plane made of skin. The wings of Yi qi were also supported by a long, bony strut attached to the wrist. This modified wrist bone and membrane-based plane is unique among all known dinosaurs, and might have resulted in wings similar in appearance to those of bats. Researchers believe it was capable of gliding and given it could only glide limited distances, it likely preferred to live in forests.
Epidexipteryx, a genus of small paravian dinosaurs that lived during the middle or late Jurassic period that was found in the Daohugou Beds of Inner Mongolia, China (about 160 or 154 mya). It known from one fossil specimen in the collection of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing. Fossil evidence suggests its body was covered in feathers. Its name, Epidexipteryx hui, means Hu's display feather, and its Chinese name Hushi Yaolong ("Hu Yaoming's dragon") were coined in memory of paleomammologist Hu Yaoming. Epidexipteryx represents the earliest known example of ornamental feathers in the fossil record. It is thought to be capable of gliding.
Jugulator, an extinct genus of mammals from the Cretaceous of North America. A eutriconodont, it is known from the Cedar Mountain Formation, and is both a large sized and possibly ecologically specialised taxon, showcasing the diversity of mammals in the Mesozoic. The species is most distinctive in regards to its large size, being among the largest mammals in the region, some lower molars exceeding 5 mm in length and with an estimated body weight of about 750 g. It is thought to have hunted other vertebrates like mammals, lizards and small dinosaurs.
Wellnhoferia, A genus of early prehistoric bird-like theropod dinosaur closely related to Archaeopteryx. It lived in what is now Germany, during the Late Jurassic.
Archaeopteryx, A genus of avian dinosaurs. It is believed to be capable of flying or gliding, but this is still being debated. The name derives from the ancient Greek ἀρχαῖος (archaīos), meaning "ancient", and πτέρυξ (ptéryx), meaning "feather" or "wing". It is sometimes referred to by its German name, "Urvogel", which means Primeval Bird.
Rahonavis, A genus of bird-like theropods from the Late Cretaceous of what is now northwestern Madagascar. It is known from a partial skeleton found in Maevarano Formation rocks at a quarry near Berivotra, Mahajanga Province. It was originally the first African coelurosaur until the Nqwebasaurus was discovered in 2000. The name Rahonavis means, approximately, "cloud menace bird", from Malagasy rahona (RA-hoo-na, "cloud" or "menace") + Latin avis "bird". It is believed that Rahonavis was capable of powered flight, but this is still being debated.
Sinornithosaurus: a genus of feathered dromaeosaurid dinosaur from the early Cretaceous Period of the Yixian Formation in what is now China. It was the fifth non–avian feathered dinosaur genus discovered by 1999. Specimens of Sinornithosaurus have preserved impressions of feathers both covering the entirety of the body and forming the wings. These feathers were indistinguishable in form from those found on birds from the same geological deposits. At one point, some researchers suspected it of being venomous, but this has been disproven. It is believed to haven capable of gliding short distances between trees.
Changyuraptor, It is known from a single fossil specimen representing the species Changyuraptor yangi, which was discovered from Early Cretaceous deposits in Liaoning Province, China. At the time of its discovery, C. yangi was the largest four-winged dinosaur known and among the largest Mesozoic flying paravians.
