#fun fact did you know i was looking into spinosaurus tails to see if they used them to paddle

Cleo is a seawing/skywing hybrid with a mix of traits, and the bio luminescence spots are outside of normal variation, likely making any aquatic talk very challenging. Not sure about the colors (might change) and wings are somewhat translucent on seawings so you can see more. Probably also lived nearby the seawing kingdom for some time before being put in the gladiator arena in the skywing kingdom. When a massive prison riot occurs she ends up escaping, along with the others, but I haven't the faintest clue what should happen next. This drawing is likely pre-gladiator arena, lacking a variety of scars they're sure to gain.

So I was just messinâ around with paths in Jurassic World Evolution and...
Listen, I know itâs weird, but itâs a map of the earth, just a very abstract one.
See?
(Red:Europe Blue:N.America Green:S.America Yellow:Africa Orange:Austrailia Purple:Asia)(Sorry for the MSPaint)
So, how about we turn this into an educational venture on the ecosystems of the world back then?(Completely disregarding time periods, Stegosaurus and Euoplocephalus shared similar environments, but not time period, being hundreds of millions of years apart)
Letâs begin with the smallest, Austrailia
Back then, it was similar to our Austrailia, just with more trees and jungle, and also being stuck to India and Antarctica.
The only Austrailian species in the game is:
Muttaburrasaurus
âMuttaburra lizardâ
No fun fact here, just your standard herbivore.
Next up: Africa
Was similar to today, just stuck with Madagascar, Turkey and South America.
First: Madagascar
Only one animal from this game:Â
Majungasaurus
âMahajanga lizardâ
Pretty short for a Cretacious theropod, but it had a small horn on itâs head.
Next up: Desert
Itâs an african desert, what do you want me to say?
Solo species again, so:
Carcharodontosaurus
âShark-Toothed lizardâ
As the name imples, itâs teeth were similar to that of a Charcarodon, or Great white Shark.
Now onto: Riverside
Rivers have water, and water is necessary to survive.
The Species here could be:
Suchomimus
âCrocodile mimicâ
A piscivore dinosaur, it would mostly stand on the riverside and wait for fish to approach.
Spinosaurus
âSpine lizardâ
Unlike in the Jurassic park franchise, this animals legs were about the size of itâs arms, making it look like a 4 meter tall sailed crocodile, wich is cool.
Kentrosaurus
âSharp lizardâ
About the size of of a cow, very pointy, so either it sees you coming, or you get hurt.
Ouranosaurus
âUranus/ Brave lizardâ
An average sized hadrosaur with a sail. I like it.
Nigersaurus
âNiger lizardâ
Not very well portrayed, but iâts about the size of a bull, and with a wide mouth to munch on that good grass.
Onto: Asia
Asia back then was pretty much the same, just separate from Europe and Africa, and no India stuck to it.
First: Desert
Itâs jus a desert, but in Asia.
Gallimimus (Right)
âChicken mimickâ
Big ostrich dinosaur, flocked like birds, but on the ground.
Chunkingosaurus (Left)
âChunkingo lizardâ
It came from the Chunking region in Asia, okay? Itâs also spiky and stuff.
Huayangosaurus
âSichuan lizardâ
Big, spikey dinosaur again, what was going on in asia for them to need this many spikes?
Next: Jungle
Jungle, you know, like a big forest.
Mamenchisaurus
âHorse gate river lizardâ (Seriously)
Itâs neck is half the length of itâs body.
Brachiosaurus
âArm lizardâ
Iâts name and subcategory come from the fact that it has long arms.
Velociraptor
âFast hunterâ
Itâs only about the size of a turke IRL, but still a good hunter.
Dilophosaurus
âTwo crested lizardâ
IRl, itâd be the size of a movie Velociraptor, and also it could not spit venom, and neither did it have a frill.
Next: Plains Feat: Russia
Fields nâ stuff. Also, for most of these, in real life there would only be bushes and ferns, no flowers or grass, as those did not exist yet.
Olorotitan
âSwan titanâ
From Russia, this big olâ dinosaur would have one of the prettiest crests iâve ever seen.
Prasaurolophus
âNear crested lizardâ
It is theorized that Parasaurolophus and many other crested hadrosaurs would use their crests as resonance chambers to produce their âroarsâ.
Gigantspinosaurus (Right)
âGiant spine lizardâ
Big shoulder spikes, need I say more?
Sinoceratops (Left)
âChinese horned faceâ(Sounds kinda racist but OK)
Big horn, bent and perforated frill, all to go up to their mates and seduce them.
Tsintaosaurus
âQuingdao lizardâ
Cool crest too.
Archaeornithomimus
âAncient bird mimicâ
Similar to Gallimimus, but older.
Alright, onto: Europe
In the age of the dinosaurs, it didnât exist. it was split in Iceland and Scotland, a bit of Spain and Portugal in Africa, Italy was off on its own, and the rest was stuck to Asia, making for very diverse environments, but this game focuses on England so...
Back then it was similar to today, just without Scotland as a hat.
Iguanodon
âIguana toothâ
Actually, what the 1800s Scientist that named it thought was a big olâ tooth, was just itâs thumb.
Polacanthus
âMany thornsâ
Spiked chap from England.
Then: Fields
Fields.
Metriacanthosaurus
âMedium spined lizardâ
Pretty big nâ fast. as the name implies, its spineâs protuberances were elongated, but not too much.
Next up: Swamp
Baryonyx
âHeavy clawâ
These boys were pretty much smaller Suchomimus, but in europe, and with a really big finger.(Seriously)
Okay, now onto the big one: North America
Really big huh? Also Greenland was still stuck to Canada, and south america was separated.
Starting with: Forests
Pretty close to todayâs American forests, but again, no flowers, no grass, and no decidius trees. (The ones that lose their leaves in the winter)
Ankylosaurus
âFused lizardâ
Quite a big animal, heavily armored too, but, in real life, most of its armor plating would be under its meat, making it look like a big bean lizard.
Dracorex / Dracorex Hogwartsia
âDragon kingâ / âDragon king of Hogwartsâ
Yes, itâs named after Harry Potterâs school.
Edmontosaurus
âLizard from Edmontonâ
Comes from Canada, big herds, so basically, lizard cow. (No milk though)
Nodosaurus
âKnobbed lizardâ
Big, armored, and spikey, also, so heavy that you ould not flip it over even if you tried.
Stygimoloch (Stee-gee-mole-ock) (I know its weird)
âDevil from Styxâ
Hard skull, horns, but a herbivore. Altough, it is thought that it and Dracorex could be young...
Pachycephalosaurus (Right)
âThick headed lizardâ
These things were as tall as a cow, and had a hard skull, wich we donât know the purpose for still.
Corythosaurus (Left)
âHelmet lizardâ
No fun fact, but, it was meant to appear in the second Jurassic Park film, but they cut it because it was misspelled as âCarinthosaurusâ.
Torosaurus
âPerforated lizardâ
Just your average ceratopsid, but itâs theorized that it was only a juvenile...
Triceratops
âThree-horned faceâ
I donât really like this gameâs rendition of it, as IRL it would be closer to torosaurus in appearence.
Well, onto the: Swamp
Swampy marslands were also abundant in North America.
Deinonychus
âTerrible clawâ
IRL, they would be as tall as a big dog, and they would not have that dumb crest on their heads.
Then: Fields
There were also large fields in Americana back then.
Albertasaurus
âAlberta lizardâ
A large tyrannosaurid hunter, with some pretty horns/crests.
Camarasaurus
âChamber lizardâ
A pretty small sauropod, travelled in big herds, basically an elephant in America (Also has relatives in Europe)
Diplodocus
âDouble beamâ
Super long and thin tail, was used like a whip for self defense, and could kill from how fast it moved.
Euoplocephalus
âWell-armoured headâ
Small, hard boned, and ăćäžšćć.
Maiasaura
âMother lizardâ
It was the first dinosaur discovered protecting its nest, wich we now belive most dinosaurs did, like birds.
Nasutoceratops
âLarge nosed horned faceâ
Big nose, bull-like horns, what more could you ask for?
Stegosaurus
âRoofed lizardâ
Classic dinosaur, but did you know that its brain is about the size of two peanuts?
Struthiomimus
âOstrich mimicâ
The name tells you all that you need to know.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
âTyrant lizard kingâ
What can i say that hasnât been said already? Well, to begin, recently we began to think that, it did not have feathers or rugged skin, but instead a soft leathery covering, and, it probably also had âlipsâ to cover its teeth.
Onto: Vast plains
Basically the entire state of nevada, but spread out onto the entire continent.
Allosaurus
âDifferent lizardâ
Classic dinosaur, three fingers, 90 degree wide mouth open, big crests on its eyes, what more could you want?
Acrocanthosaurus
âTall spined lizardâ
Sorry for saying it again, but this thing was áȘă©çȘçȘăăăćäžšćć  because of its spine being really tall.
And finally, we come to: South America
Big jungles, same as the present, but stuck to africa.
Dreadnoughtus
âFear nothingâ (Dang thatâs rad)
Big, massive muscles, yeah, thet nameâs appropriate.
Giganotosaurus
âGiant southern lizardâ
Huge predator, cool nose ridges, super strong arms, you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Also: Fields
By the point in wich the one species represented here lived, grass and flowers were almost there.
Carnotaurus
âMeat eating bullâ
Fun fact, this tiny meat eater had a special muscle and bone setup in its tail, wich made it able to run really heckinâ fast, but it could not turn very easily, that combined with its tiny vestigial arms, it was a horned sausage with with legs.
This is a representation of what flatlands looked like in South America in the Triassic, around 237 million years ago.
Herrerasaurus
âHerreraâs lizardâ
A super old, elongated carnivore, one of the first dinosaurus to walk on two legs of this size. (At this point, crocodiles walked more like dinosaurus than dinosaurs, look up âPostosuchusâ for an example)
Thatâs it. I hoped that, even if you donât care about learning, you can take some of these fun facts into your brain.
