Now, just for fun, an arctic Tyrannosaurus. Even in the Arctic, Cretaceous winters probably weren't so cold that this degree of insulation was necessary for a giant animal, but anything's possible, right? Maybe it's a short-lived breed that evolved in response to the catastrophic cold and dark caused by the KT event.

Actually, it's very likely that there was snow in the upper latitudes during the Cretaceous, Of course, it didn't extend as far south as it did today, but some dinosaurs probably had to deal with it. This was shown prominently in March of the Dinosaurs:

I was thinking more along the lines of how Tyrannosaurus could easily have retained its heat gigantothermically despite below-freezing temperatures. But if you think my creation is plausible that's fine with me!

Well, I agree with you that T. rex was probably not highly feathered, if feathered at all. It lived farther south, so it wasn't one of the species dealing with snow. But it is more plausible for a species living in a cold region. Just look at Yutyrannus.

HUh no feed back on the adventure Yet Humm well if it's good enugh for no feed back by friday then the adventure would be relieacied on friday.

Yep, my latest Rex.





Yep, my latest Spino.

I'm sorry, but "relieacied?"
What the heck are you trying to say?
If you are trying to say "released," get a better spellchecker sir.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure Tyrannosaurus has been found within the Arctic Circle but correct me if I'm wrong.

Nick, both of those look really cool.

Dinolizard, I can't review your adventure because I'm having computer problems.

About the farthest north it got was southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Here's the distribution map for T. rex from the paleobiology database:


EDIT: Weird, the map was showing up before. It probably disappeared since the map is generated based off the database. If you want to see it, search for T. rex in the quick search (scroll down to the bottom and click the "click here to see a distribution map" for the map to pop up)

If anyone likes my realistic re-creation of my first creation of a non-existant dinosaur, Slendaptosaurus bannerhae, please give feedback. I think it is a neat-looking theropod...

There's a new YouTube video out with dinosaur ideas for Jurassic Park 4. Their ideas: Gigantoraptor (I don't think they put this one in based on anything but the name), Microraptor (how is a micro raptor scary?), Jeholopterus (as a bloodsucker), Sinornithosaurus (with venomous fangs), Sauroposeidon (according to them the biggest dinosaur) and Raptorex (who technically might already have starred in the movies). Personally I think a really cool addition to the movies would be a Carnotaurus, not as a color changing stalker but as a rampaging, all-destroying menace.

Personally, the dinosaurs I would add to a hypothetical Jurassic Park IV would be more "realistic" then that scrambled list. You have to think of them more like amusement park attractions, and less like enemies you would find in a video game. They don't have to be scary. Why make the only new dinosaurs theropods?
You have to realize that the scientists would have to had cloned them back in 1993, or earlier, so recent discoveries would either not be created, or just not used in the park. So a lot of those would be disqualified.
Second up, I don't think they would want to have a lot of similar dinosaur types. In the movies, there was a lot of diversity. That's why it bothered me that InGen created both Baryonyx and Spinosaurus. Why do both? So most of the new dinosaurs should be different from other Jurassic Park dinosaurs.
Carnotaurus would be a great edition, as long as it's not The Lost World novel version. I think they should add a fully-feathered dinosaur of some kind. They can't really ignore it, and they can't just claim to be accurate with the half-assed quills on the Velociraptors. Any kind of fully-feathered dinosaur would be great.
Personally, I would love to see a sauropod do some damage, like it did in the 1925 The Lost World. I guess they already did an homage to that in the second film's ending, so they can't do it again.

Is that "Slendaptosaurus" I made a good creation? It isn't a real dinosaur, but it looks like it could be related to Carnotaurus, yes...

@Hermes: I didn't know InGen had a Baryonyx, but other than that I totally agree with you. A herd of 200-foot titanosaurs (unlikely, but this isn't a documentary) on the move would be fatal for anything in its path. Ornithopods and herbivores in general also need more credit. It would be ironic gold if one of the movie's (human) antagonists was taken down by an angry Iguanodon.
EDIT: I disagree about the pre-'93 discovery deadline. Why couldn't amber containing a species' DNA be found before the species' bones?

So I've been trying to download the Adventure, but the .PNGis faulty or something. Is there a special way to do it for adventures?
