Welcome back, Park Managers, to our latest Species Field Guide!
In this series of articles, we will be spotlighting and discussing some of the incredible dinosaurs and reptiles you will be caring for and bioengineering in Jurassic World Evolution 2. With over 75 different species of prehistoric animals, you'll be meeting both new and familiar faces, and we are incredibly excited to share them with you!
Last time, we introduced you to the first of our new marine reptiles, Mosasaurus, but this week we're going to say hello to an old friend...Tyrannosaurus Rex!
T. rex, a late Cretaceous theropod, was a carnivorous dinosaur which could grow up to 12m (40ft) long, and weighed up to 9 tonnes. Despite its size, though, T. rex possessed an athletic stance, suggesting that it was a relatively agile dinosaur; its long, stiff tail also served to balance out its large head, further contributing to its dexterity and swiftness, and making it a truly formidable hunter.
Interestingly, it had a mouth full of serrated teeth - about 60 in total - which were about 8 inches long and incredibly strong. This means that, whilst most reptiles of the time had long, pointed teeth that would have struggled to crunch through bone, T. rex did not have the same problem; we know this due to the fact that bone fragments have been found in its coprolites (fossilised dung)!
T. rex are pretty aggressive and not terribly sociable, so you won't have to worry too much about making sure they have lots of company in their enclosures, but do keep in mind that they'll need both some sand and forest terrain in their habitats, so it's important to consider this when planning your parks.
As carnivores, you're going to want to make sure that they have plenty of fresh meat available - trust us, you don't want unhappy, hungry T. rexes on your hands!
We're incredibly excited to be able to share T. rex with you - we couldn't possibly imagine Jurassic World Evolution 2 without including this iconic dinosaur! We think both you and your guests will enjoy including them in your parks. Will you be bioengineering them for yours? Let us know in the comments.
There are more dinosaurs for us to show you in the coming weeks and months. Be prepared to see both new and familiar faces as we highlight a small portion of the ancient animals you will be able to bioengineer in Jurassic World Evolution 2.
