EdmontosaurusДЄnother new dinosaur to sport a lovely colour scheme and a fancy crest (which it did not have in real life) is Edmontosaurus, a large (perhaps up to 50 feet long) type of plant-eating 'duck-billed' dinosaur. As real Deinonychus would have almost certainly been covered in feathers, what we see in the Evolution preview is quite inaccurate, so hopefully the game's DNA modification feature will allow palaeontological purists to add some should they so choose (while non-purists can add an assortment of head crests, more teeth and sombrero hats!). The fetching red colouration also makes for a refreshing change from the comparatively drab off-grey look which afflicts most of Jurassic World's dinosaurs. It's nice to see Deinonychus getting some mainstream recognition, having been mostly usurped by its cousin Velociraptor over the last couple of decades.

I also squint whenever someone takes my photo. Either the game designers added the crest to make the Deinonychus stand out from the closely related Velociraptor (fun fact: the original Jurassic Park 'raptors are based on Deinonychus, but are called Velociraptor as the two animals were once believed to be of the same genus) or this is a modified Deinonychus (the game allows you to alter your dinosaurs' DNA, creating new forms). Now, in real life, Deinonychus did not have the distinctive head crest that we see in the new footage. However, after some snooping, the good people over at Jurassic Outpost have discovered that it is in fact supposed to be a Deinonychus. In it, we meet three new dinosaurs, two of which have yet to appear in any of the franchise's movies to date.Д¬heck out the new footage below, and we'll weigh in with some thoughts on the new dinos after the bump:ДЄt first glance, the new, small meat-eating dinosaur featured in this latest Jurassic World: Evolution footage looks a bit like a Guanlong, an early member of the tyrannosaur family.

Fortunately though, we received a nice Christmas present courtesy of IGN, with new in-game footage of upcoming park simulator game Jurassic Park: Evolution. With the Fallen Kingdom trailer and all of its fearsome new dinosaurs still fresh in the public's mind, we figured it would be 2018 before we got another look at any more new Jurassic critters.
