Plateosaurus (SciiFii)

Plateosaurus anthropocenus (name meaning "broad lizard of man's age") is a species of large mostly-herbivorous plateosaurid dinosaur that originally lived during the Late Triassic period, around 214 to 204 million years ago, in what is now Central and Northern Europe and Greenland, North America, but thanks to SciiFii bringing this prehistoric species back from extinction through genetic engineering, it is now found in one of the exhibits in the Triassic Dinosaurs section of Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California. Plateosaurus anthropocenus is a bipedal animal that normally uses its clawed fingers for defense against predators, fighting males of their species (during mating seasons), and/or for pulling branches to reach its main source if food, leaves. However, it can occasionally feed on insects and/or, rarely, carrion to supplement its diet. It can grow to be between 4.8 and 10 metres (16 and 33 ft) long and can weigh between 600 and 4,000 kilograms (1,300 and 8,800 lb). Commonly, Plateosaurus anthropocenus live for at least 12 to 20 years, but the maximum life span between 25-30 is not unheard of. After mating seasons, eggs are laid around 3 months later, and 4-5 months after being laid, the eggs hatch, the babies are then cared for by their mothers until they are halfway between the age of the hatchlings and the adults, when they must fend for themselves.
