It was probably not as woolly as woolly mammoth, but was larger in size. One of the largest mammoth species, Columbian mammoth lived in what is now North America, even in California! Columbian mammoths had a same lifestyle as its colder dwelling cousin, the woolly mammoth. It is unknown why this giant reptile became extinct but man may have killed it off, but it is unlikely as there are no Colossochelys fossils relating to human hunting. It lived in Eurasia during the Miocene and the Pleistocene era. It was probably a gentle herbivore like a Galapagos giant tortoise. They were swift and deadly killers that prey on animals from insects to crocodilians, probably also mammal-like reptiles like Placerias.Ĭolossochelys was the largest tortoise to have ever existed, about 6 feet tall and weighed forty thousand killigrams, it was the size of a large truck. It was thought to have been a cannibalistic creature, but the fossils of some Coelophysis skeletons confirmed that they hunted small crocodilians, not members of their own kind. It had long claws as opposed to hooves that most other hoof mammals have, so it walked on its knuckles like a gorilla and used them to pull down branches in order to reach the leaves and fruits it had fed on.Ĭoelophysis was one of the earliest of the North America. One of the most widespread of the Chalicotheres, Chalicotherium is also the best known species. They likely preyed on fish and smaller arthropods. They were one of the first ever animals to walked on land, though they preferred to live in water, unlike today's land dwelling scorpions. These sea dwelling scorpions were about the size of a medium sized dog with their stingers the size of a lightbulb. They didn't rear on their hind legs as their legs were unsuited for that, unlike in Jurassic Park, but was still tall enough to have fed on leaves of conifers and other trees. One of the largest animals of its time and among the largest (sauropod) dinosaurs, Brachiosaurus was the giraffe of its time. It lived in Mongolia during the Eocene, where it likely scavenged on carcasses of larger mammals such as Brontotheres. They were herbivores that fed on mainly fruits and leaves in its native range across Africa.Īndrewsarchus was the largest of all of the carnivorous land mammals, reaching the lengths to about 20 feet long and probably weighed half a ton, almost as heavy as a horse. These animals are very tame towards humans and won't attack or even frighten humans, so they could be the largest of the free roaming animals. One of the last of its kind, Ancylotherium lived alongside the human's ancestors. It was likely a social hunter or solitary hunter/scavenger, depending on an individual. Having grew to almost forty feet long and weighed 5 tons, it was almost as large as Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Cretaceous. One of the largest and famous carnivorous dinosaurs of the Jurassic, Allosaurus was a deadly killer of Stegosaurus, early ornithopods, and even sauropods. List of species added in this expansion pack Allosaurus Some of the animals from the previous games have been replaced with newer versions of the animals, for example, Deinonychus now has feathers and doesn't have pronated hands this time. The minigames such as locating fossils, curing diseases, cloning animals, building skeleton jigsaws, and tranquilizing dinosaurs are still the same, other than having new official/default species such as, for example, the Chalicotherium fossils in the skeleton jigsaw.
