Photos: New Jurassic World Dinosaurs Revealed
By Peter Sciretta/March 2, 2015 6:00 am EST
The official site for Jurassic World has been updated with design renderings for seven new dinosaur species. Some of the Jurassic World dinosaurs have been seen in previous installments of the Jurassic Park franchise, but others are completely new to Jurassic World.
The fact that Universal Pictures has put the designs on the official website signals they probably don’t constitute spoilers, so feel free to dive in. Hit the jump to see the new Jurassic World dinosaur designs.
Dimorphodon
Park Area: Aviary Agression Level: Medium Name Meaning: “Two-form tooth” Habitat: England & Mexico 8 ft 3 lbs Stance: Quadruped/Winged Diet: Fish and insects Age: Mid-Jurassic Dimorphodon is one of our park’s pterosaurs, or flying reptiles. It evolved to soar through the Jurassic skies, with large eyes, quick jaws and sharp talons perfect for catching fish—or other prey. The Dimorphodon is a “snap-feeder,” with quick jaws suited to snatching fish and insects.
Edmontosaurus
Park Area: Gallimimus Valley Aggression Level: Low Name Meaning: “Edmonton Lizard” Habitat: North America 35 ft 4 tons Stance: Quadruped or Biped Diet: Fruit and vegetables Age: Cretaceous Edmontosaurus is a flat-headed duck-billed dinosaur. Once threatened by the T. rex, it loves hanging out in herds and munching on conifers and other vegetation. Edmontosaurus is one of the few dinosaurs that can chew, grinding veggies to pulp before swallowing.
Suchomimus
Park Area: Cretaceous Cruise Aggression Level: Medium Name Meaning: “Crocodile mimic” Habitat: Africa 35 ft 3 tons Stance: Biped Diet: Carnivore Age: Cretaceous The Suchomimus is known for the distinctive sail on its lower back and the huge, foot-long claws on each thumb that it uses to catch fish. Suchomimus gets its name from its distinctive crocodile-like snout.
Metriacanthosaurus
Park Area: Cretaceous Cruise Aggression Level: High Name Meaning: “Moderately-Spined Lizard” Habitat: England, Europe Stance: Biped Diet: Carnivore Age: Mid-Jurassic A fleet-footed carnosaur, Metriacanthosaurus is named for its distinctively spined vertebrae. It once stalked the ancient Jurassic plains, feeding on other dinosaurs. Metriacanthosaurus is a theropod, which is Greek for “beast foot.”
Microceratus
Park Area: Cretaceous Cruise Agression Level: Low Name Meaning: “Small-horned” Habitat: North America, Asia Stance: Biped Diet: Herbivore Age: Cretaceous Microceratus may be the smallest dinosaurs in Jurassic World. They have short frills and beak-shaped mouths perfect for snapping off leaves and twigs. Microceratus used to be known as Microceratops but lost their name to a species of wasp.
Pteranodon
Park Area: Aviary Aggression Level: High Name Meaning: “Toothless wing” Habitat: North America, Europe 18 ft 70 lbs Stance: Quadruped/Winged Diet: Primarily fish Age: Late Cretaceous The Pteranodon is our Jurassic World’s biggest pterosaur, or flying reptile. With a wider wingspan than any known bird, it’s primarily a fish eater, though Pteranodon is very aggressive. Pteranodon have three clawed fingers on each hand, and four clawed toes on each foot.
We’ve already seen a bunch of dinosaurs from Jurassic World, including the human engineered Indominus Rex in computer rendering and toy form. See more information on the new Jurassic World dinosaurs and much more on the official Jurassic World website.
