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 messin’ around with paths in Jurassic World Evolution and...
Tumblr media
Listen, I know it’s weird, but it’s a map of the earth, just a very abstract one.
Tumblr media
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)
Let’s begin with the smallest, Austrailia
Tumblr media
Back then, it was similar to our Austrailia, just with more trees and jungle, and also being stuck to India and Antarctica.
Tumblr media
The only Austrailian species in the game is:
Muttaburrasaurus
“Muttaburra lizard”
No fun fact here, just your standard herbivore.
Next up: Africa
Tumblr media
Was similar to today, just stuck with Madagascar, Turkey and South America.
First: Madagascar
Tumblr media
Only one animal from this game: 
Majungasaurus
“Mahajanga lizard”
Pretty short for a Cretacious theropod, but it had a small horn on it’s head.
Next up: Desert
Tumblr media
It’s an african desert, what do you want me to say?
Tumblr media
Solo species again, so:
Carcharodontosaurus
“Shark-Toothed lizard”
As the name imples, it’s teeth were similar to that of a Charcarodon, or Great white Shark.
Now onto: Riverside
Tumblr media
Rivers have water, and water is necessary to survive.
The Species here could be:
Tumblr media
Suchomimus
“Crocodile mimic”
A piscivore dinosaur, it would mostly stand on the riverside and wait for fish to approach.
Tumblr media
Spinosaurus
“Spine lizard”
Unlike in the Jurassic park franchise, this animals legs were about the size of it’s arms, making it look like a 4 meter tall sailed crocodile, wich is cool.
Tumblr media
Kentrosaurus
“Sharp lizard”
About the size of of a cow, very pointy, so either it sees you coming, or you get hurt.
Tumblr media
Ouranosaurus
“Uranus/ Brave lizard”
An average sized hadrosaur with a sail. I like it.
Tumblr media
Nigersaurus
“Niger lizard”
Not very well portrayed, but i’ts about the size of a bull, and with a wide mouth to munch on that good grass.
Onto: Asia
Tumblr media
Asia back then was pretty much the same, just separate from Europe and Africa, and no India stuck to it.
First: Desert
Tumblr media
It’s jus a desert, but in Asia.
Tumblr media
Gallimimus (Right)
“Chicken mimick”
Big ostrich dinosaur, flocked like birds, but on the ground.
Chunkingosaurus (Left)
“Chunkingo lizard”
It came from the Chunking region in Asia, okay? It’s also spiky and stuff.
Tumblr media
Huayangosaurus
“Sichuan lizard”
Big, spikey dinosaur again, what was going on in asia for them to need this many spikes?
Next: Jungle
Tumblr media
Jungle, you know, like a big forest.
Tumblr media
Mamenchisaurus
“Horse gate river lizard” (Seriously)
It’s neck is half the length of it’s body.
Tumblr media
Brachiosaurus
“Arm lizard”
I’ts name and subcategory come from the fact that it has long arms.
Tumblr media
Velociraptor
“Fast hunter”
It’s only about the size of a turke IRL, but still a good hunter.
Tumblr media
Dilophosaurus
“Two crested lizard”
IRl, it’d 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
Tumblr media
Fields n’ 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.
Tumblr media
Olorotitan
“Swan titan”
From Russia, this big ol’ dinosaur would have one of the prettiest crests i’ve ever seen.
Tumblr media
Prasaurolophus
“Near crested lizard”
It is theorized that Parasaurolophus and many other crested hadrosaurs would use their crests as resonance chambers to produce their “roars”.
Tumblr media
Gigantspinosaurus (Right)
“Giant spine lizard”
Big shoulder spikes, need I say more?
Sinoceratops (Left)
“Chinese horned face”(Sounds kinda racist but OK)
Big horn, bent and perforated frill, all to go up to their mates and seduce them.
Tumblr media
Tsintaosaurus
“Quingdao lizard”
Cool crest too.
Tumblr media
Archaeornithomimus
“Ancient bird mimic”
Similar to Gallimimus, but older.
Alright, onto: Europe
Tumblr media
In the age of the dinosaurs, it didn’t 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...
Tumblr media
Back then it was similar to today, just without Scotland as a hat.
Tumblr media
Iguanodon
“Iguana tooth”
Actually, what the 1800s Scientist that named it thought was a big ol’ tooth, was just it’s thumb.
Tumblr media
Polacanthus
“Many thorns”
Spiked chap from England.
Then: Fields
Tumblr media
Fields.
Tumblr media
Metriacanthosaurus
“Medium spined lizard”
Pretty big n’ fast. as the name implies, its spine’s protuberances were elongated, but not too much.
Next up: Swamp
Tumblr media
Baryonyx
“Heavy claw”
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
Tumblr media
Really big huh? Also Greenland was still stuck to Canada, and south america was separated.
Starting with: Forests
Tumblr media
Pretty close to today’s American forests, but again, no flowers, no grass, and no decidius trees. (The ones that lose their leaves in the winter)
Tumblr media
Ankylosaurus
“Fused lizard”
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.
Tumblr media
Dracorex / Dracorex Hogwartsia
“Dragon king” / “Dragon king of Hogwarts”
Yes, it’s named after Harry Potter’s school.
Tumblr media
Edmontosaurus
“Lizard from Edmonton”
Comes from Canada, big herds, so basically, lizard cow. (No milk though)
Tumblr media
Nodosaurus
“Knobbed lizard”
Big, armored, and spikey, also, so heavy that you ould not flip it over even if you tried.
Tumblr media
Stygimoloch (Stee-gee-mole-ock) (I know its weird)
“Devil from Styx”
Hard skull, horns, but a herbivore. Altough, it is thought that it and Dracorex could be young...
Tumblr media
Pachycephalosaurus (Right)
“Thick headed lizard”
These things were as tall as a cow, and had a hard skull, wich we don’t know the purpose for still.
Corythosaurus (Left)
“Helmet lizard”
No fun fact, but, it was meant to appear in the second Jurassic Park film, but they cut it because it was misspelled as “Carinthosaurus”.
Tumblr media
Torosaurus
“Perforated lizard”
Just your average ceratopsid, but it’s theorized that it was only a juvenile...
Tumblr media
Triceratops
“Three-horned face”
I don’t really like this game’s rendition of it, as IRL it would be closer to torosaurus in appearence.
Well, onto the: Swamp
Tumblr media
Swampy marslands were also abundant in North America.
Tumblr media
Deinonychus
“Terrible claw”
IRL, they would be as tall as a big dog, and they would not have that dumb crest on their heads.
Then: Fields
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There were also large fields in Americana back then.
Tumblr media
Albertasaurus
“Alberta lizard”
A large tyrannosaurid hunter, with some pretty horns/crests.
Tumblr media
Camarasaurus
“Chamber lizard”
A pretty small sauropod, travelled in big herds, basically an elephant in America (Also has relatives in Europe)
Tumblr media
Diplodocus
“Double beam”
Super long and thin tail, was used like a whip for self defense, and could kill from how fast it moved.
Tumblr media
Euoplocephalus
“Well-armoured head”
Small, hard boned, and ㄒ卄丨匚匚.
Tumblr media
Maiasaura
“Mother lizard”
It was the first dinosaur discovered protecting its nest, wich we now belive most dinosaurs did, like birds.
Tumblr media
Nasutoceratops
“Large nosed horned face”
Big nose, bull-like horns, what more could you ask for?
Tumblr media
Stegosaurus
“Roofed lizard”
Classic dinosaur, but did you know that its brain is about the size of two peanuts?
Tumblr media
Struthiomimus
“Ostrich mimic”
The name tells you all that you need to know.
Tumblr media
Tyrannosaurus Rex
“Tyrant lizard king”
What can i say that hasn’t 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 “lips” to cover its teeth.
Onto: Vast plains
Tumblr media
Basically the entire state of nevada, but spread out onto the entire continent.
Tumblr media
Allosaurus
“Different lizard”
Classic dinosaur, three fingers, 90 degree wide mouth open, big crests on its eyes, what more could you want?
Tumblr media
Acrocanthosaurus
“Tall spined lizard”
Sorry for saying it again, but this thing was ᗪㄩ爪爪ㄚ ㄒ卄丨匚匚  because of its spine being really tall.
And finally, we come to: South America
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Big jungles, same as the present, but stuck to africa.
Tumblr media
Dreadnoughtus
“Fear nothing” (Dang that’s rad)
Big, massive muscles, yeah, thet name’s appropriate.
Tumblr media
Giganotosaurus
“Giant southern lizard”
Huge predator, cool nose ridges, super strong arms, you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Also: Fields
Tumblr media
By the point in wich the one species represented here lived, grass and flowers were almost there.
Tumblr media
Carnotaurus
“Meat eating bull”
Fun fact, this tiny meat eater had a special muscle and bone setup in its tail, wich made it able to run really heckin’ fast, but it could not turn very easily, that combined with its tiny vestigial arms, it was a horned sausage with with legs.
Tumblr media
This is a representation of what flatlands looked like in South America in the Triassic, around 237 million years ago.
Tumblr media
Herrerasaurus
“Herrera’s lizard”
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 “Postosuchus” for an example)
That’s it. I hoped that, even if you don’t care about learning, you can take some of these fun facts into your brain.
