Jurassic World Evolution 2

Yutyrannus is a carnivorous dinosaur from the tyrannosauroid family – a distant relative of the fearsome Tyrannosaur rex - that is notable for the long feathers on its body and tail. In fact, at around 9m in length, this genus is the largest carnivorous dinosaur known to have feathers – lending it the name Yutyrannus, which translates to ‘feathered tyrant’.

Jeholopterus is an anurognathid pterosaur notable for its blunt snout and rows of sharp teeth. The genus takes its name from the Jehol region of Inner Mongolia that it called home and has a wingspan of around 32 inches. It dates back to the mid-Jurassic period, around 164 million years ago.

Weighing around seven tonnes and growing up to around 11m in length, Deinocheirus is the largest ornithomimosaur ever to have existed. This genus dates back approximately 70m years to the late Cretaceous period and its name translates as ‘horrible hand’, in reference to its large, powerful claws.

The carnivorous theropod Sinosauropteryx is native to north-east China and dates back to the early Cretaceous period. This genus weighs a little over five pounds and grows to around 1m in length. It is a relative of Compsognathus although, unlike its older cousin, it has feathers. In fact, it is the first known example of a non-avian dinosaur to display feathers, and lead paleontologists towards the theory that modern-day birds evolved from dinosaur reptiles.
