Hey...If you would like it changed, let me know what you want it changed too.

Thanks! It can stay the some, except with a 'first' instead of 'frist'.

Thanks, but now there's a space missing

And also, Liopleurodon isn't a dinosaur, but a plesiosaur. Important difference.

Looks good

Okay, fixed my booboo

 

[Jurassic Tyrant King]

Acrocanthosaurus for day number 2 or 3 till release please

A pliosauroid (a family of short-necked plesiosaurs)

Acrocanthosaurus for day number 3 please

Yes I’ve been waiting since Andrew Reiner confirmed it in his article.

Updated!

 

[TheMightyMegalosaurus]

Frontier really went full crocodilian with the Liopleurodon's design. Considering that, maybe they also made it a similar size to the Mosasaurus and its WWD incarnation at 25m. Leviathan battles in the lagoon between the two goliaths would be awesome, and also for having the shark feeder be for more than just the Mosasaurus.

Question: is the new pterosaur Tapejara or Tupandactylus?

According to the leak last week it's Tapejara... the same leak suggests only the Mosasaurus uses the Shark feeder, which may suggest its the only large aquatic animal.

...which may also imply the lio is accuratly sized, and that we might get a Kronosaurus in the future to fill the niche of a large pliosaur.

Also, as far as I remember, a pliosaur has been used as the icon for medium-sized marine reptiles.

Wait… why three I’d rather 4

Actually, Pliosaurus would make more sense for the large pliosaur, as they're estimated to reach 13 meters; bigger than a Kronosaurus at 10 meters.

And yeah, pretty sure the medium aquatic icon looked like a pliosaur.

Looks good.

Seeing all these countdowns reminds me of years ago, probably a decade or so ago when there used to be a website that did countdowns for games. I think the last time I saw a countdown was for JWE.

Now games just do their own countdowns

I was asking Jens if Acrocanthosaurus could be a part of 3 Days To Go till launch so we can see the reveal of this species.
