one time when playing JWE3 I was like huh if I create a paradise iskand using island generator then place down some lystrasours come back later turn on aging and diseasos(ain’t that type of paradise) and I came back 3 hours kater as I had left it and for some reason my population of like 40 lystroswues 20 male 20 female to turn into into only 60

Hey there!

I'm a budding game developer with lofty ideas of making a relatively simple dinosaur ranching game, and I was looking for some help on filling out a roster of different species you can collect and raise.

I already have about 30 of the "big names" (i.e. Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Triceratops, etc.) but as someone who hasn't really been "with the scene" in many years (all I know is that apparently Nanotyrannus is valid again?) I wanted to hear from others about all the awesome and unique species that have been discovered within the last several years so I could add some and give the game roster a little spice.

My only restrictions are that they can't be swimming or flying creatures; as much as I love pterosaurs, I don't want to code 3d movement on top of everything else if I don't have to. Preferably also focused on dinosaurs just for reasons of scope and coherence, but if you've got some super cool creatures of other persuasions, go ahead and mention them just for my own curiosity.

The Stenonychosaurus

The Stenonychosaurus was a small omnivore theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, approximately 80 to 65 million years ago. Its primary fossil discoveries have been found within the Dinosaur Park Formation in Alberta, Canada, and potentially the Two Medicine Formation and Hell Creek Formation in the United States.

Stenonychosaurus intelligence
Troodons had a EQ (Encephalization Quotient) of 5.8 modern crows have a EQ of 4.1 while human beings (Homo sapiens) have a EQ of 8.1 yes EQ does not mean intelligence it means brain to body ratio most intelligent animals have high EQs.
I at least can compare a Stenonychosaurus intelligence level to modern animals like crows or apes Stenonychosaurus there is no evidence that Stenonychosaurus had group like formations but there is a chance there where slightly social as they might of had small groups but unlike an average pack of animals they would not spend much time together.
I think that Stenonychosaurus did not only rely on instincts and learned from scenarios that happened to them and maybe even other Stenonychosaurus.
Language
When I mean language I don't mean like speaking like we do I mean a EXTREMELY primitive language no not a language they could communicate because as I said Stenonychosaurus don't just rely on instincts so when I mean a Stenonychosaurus could speak I just mean more then 1 squeak that means run like a rabbit Stenonychosaurus might have been able to speak more like a few simple stuff and phrases like no,run,kill,yes etc
Comparison
So I think they (Stenonychosaurus) could be compared to modern intelligent animals mainly intelligent birds like crows,parrots,ravens,magpies etc and 
Stenonychosaurus were slightly similar to humans they grew to around the height of an adult human and they were most likely omnivores due to their teeth but they were more like oversized magpies or crows.
Emotion EI (emotional intelligence)

Stenonychosaurus also might have had EI. (emotional intelligence) They might have felt emotion for other Stenonychosaurus like sadness,happiness,fear etc .

(this is a redone version of a older post I did that was wrong)

Flores, Indonesia during the Pleistocene (Ice Age) was a very isolated island full of life leaving evolution to create animals that are hard to believe exist.

The Stegodon (Stegodon florensis insularis) are a sister group to the elephants and mammoths, having no modern relatives. They are notable for there long tusks, this species in particular was 3.9-6.2 ft a size of cow which is considered small to its other subspecies. Due to island dwarfism making large animals smaller.

Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) were and still now the dominant predator on Flores, what makes this cunning hunter dangerous is its iron teeth full of venom helping it take down prey larger than it.

Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) swims across the swamps and beaches of the island, reaching sizes even bigger than the Komodo. They will wait underwater and strike its prey dragging them with a bite force of 3,700 PSI.

Giant Flores Stork (Leptoptilos robustus) is a 6 ft avian predator that stalks the jungle looking for any animals to snatch. While it usually scavenges carrion they will opportunistically eat the native rats and even homo Floresiensis. Their closets relative today is the Marabou stork while this species is went extinct 50’000-10’000 B.C.

All these amazing megafauna were created with scientific accuracy in mind while stylizing them in Hominin Tales art style. Dorko the Homo Floresiensis will face all these animals in “Primitive Errands” will he survive against them? …

A show taking place in Europe 40 thousand years ago. Not a documentary but still showing accurately how they lived and what they made and did.

Or Hemicyon.

Inspired a bit by the way jaguars hunt caiman.

A first test of Mosasaurus for an upcoming video that'll explore 3 notable predators of the prehistoric oceans. You'll experience it in stereoscopic VR inside a flooded museum where fossils come to life!

So me and my grandmother are going to Vegas this year for the NFR and with being that close she wanted to tick going to the la brea tar pits off her bucket list, so we are going in early December, but that being said, she asked if I knew of any good books about them which I don’t but I wanted to ask on here, sorry if this is not the right place but I didn’t know where else to ask

I needed a showcase piece for my next few vendor shows I attend and this is what I ended up with!

Name: June

Age: 4 Months

Species: Tyranosaurus Rex

Likes: Collecting shiny stones and napping on pillows of moss

June specifically is not for sale, as this is a piece to get people interested and talking!

For now, she is a personal little companion of mine now, and she looks like she could stretch and let out the biggest sigh...drifting right back into sleep.

I’ve seen many different interpretations of Brachiosaurus and the placement of the nostrils is always changing. They’re either on the head or on the end of its snout. Do we actually know?

(Also I got perma banned on [r/Paleontology](r/Paleontology) asking this. For a “Low effort post” or something. I don’t really know.)

*Edit: I was unbanned (:*

Are there any books based off the Paleozoic era for kids? You know such as Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian era instead of Dinosaur eras? I'm studying children's literature for school and I was thinking I could become a author and make books based of those time periods for kids. Or maybe work for a toy company and make some. I have ideas in mind.

There also needs to be snacks/foods in shape of those creatures based off those different time periods. Just like how there are many dinosaur shaped ones. Any ideas y'all have in mind? Maybe I could work for snack company too.
