The **Animals** in Prehistoric Kingdom are a wide arrange of extinct species that populate parks and serve as their main attraction. Players must take care of them in order to keep them happy and healthy.

## Description

Animals are the key component that makes Prehistoric Kingdom the game that it is. Every creature is an animal lost to time, something extinction left behind. You will research, incubate, nurture and safeguard them while building up and creating your park.

Prehistoric Kingdom's roster includes a variety of animals across different lineages, eras, and locations. From the recently extinct Woolly Mammoth to the small Cretaceous flier *Microraptor*, prehistoric animals, close and distant to the modern animals living today is what makes the game as it is, *Prehistoric* Kingdom. As for any animal, it is important to take care of these animals with proper treatment, food and shelter.

## Animal roster

As of Early Access Animals currently in the game, there are 11 Theropods, 6 Ceratopsians, 7 Ornithopods, 3 Sauropods, 1 Thyreophoran and 4 Mammals. As time goes on, each group will increase in the number of animals as more get added via updates, along with more additional groups of animals. Early Access currently has 32 different animals. They usually contain one species but might contain multiple species or even members of a closely related genus.

Aside from animals confirmed to be coming in specific updates (see table below), some animals which appeared in the old roster from before Early Access have been confirmed as in the pipeline. These are Allosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Baryonyx, the Cave Bear, Megaloceros and Stegosaurus.

The rest of the old roster that weren't confirmed to be in the pipeline aren't completely cut, they're just not coming to Early Access.

## **Early Access**

#### Update 1.1

  ***Scelidosaurus harrisonii*** | **Jurassic** | Reigning from Early Jurassic England, Scelidosaurus was a small species compared to its descendants.

#### Update 9

 ***Spinosaurus aegyptiacus*** | **Cretaceous** | Hailing from Cretaceous North Africa, Spinosaurus gets its name from the tall spines that make up the iconic sail it is known for.

### ***Upcoming***

#### Update 10

 ***Elasmotherium*** | **Quaternary** | The Siberian unicorn, Elasmotherium, will enter the park in update 10.

## **Potential additions**

Before the release of Early Access, Prehistoric Kingdom's developers abided by a roster which was fully released to the public, containing 50 animals for implementation before the game's full release. They have since stated multiple times that this is no longer the case. Animals can now be complete surprises or upgrades of designs from the old roster, with no way for players to know before they are revealed. After Early Access, more animals are yet to come, including (some of) those from the old roster. The developers have also discussed potential future additions in the forms of expansion packs containing Paleozoic fauna, marine fauna, and aerial fauna. However, it is unclear how, when, or if these will be added to the game.
