## *Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter*

Tatem Games announced on their Facebook page on February 26, 2014 that they were adding a new dinosaur in addition to *Coelophysis* in late March or April 2014. The *Iguanodon* is a brownish orange and covered in red splotches along it's neck, head and tail. On the map, it appears as a "?" mark, and when the hunter approaches, it runs around wildly, but doesn't seem to leave the hunters field of vision. Like *Brontotherium* and *Indricotherium*, the *Iguanodon* crushes the hunter with its front legs. The *Iguanodon* also could leap at the hunter if they were running away to try to avoid the *Iguanodon*. If the hunter shoots the *Iguandon* and hits, the *Iguandon* will immediately charge the hunter trying to kill it.

*Iguanodon* was not mentioned in the Apple App Store for the *Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter* update log when the update appeared. Instead it was added "secretly" as a hostile ambient animal that wanders about the map much like a regular pointable animal; the only difference being that *Iguanodon* was an ambient creature that can deliver points. Upon death, it rewards the hunter with about 35 - 40 points when killed. Both it and *Coelophysis* had yet to be added to the Android port. It was added as selectable on August 4, 2014 for Android and August 11, 2014 for iOS. In the latest update, *Iguanodon* received a different skin. This skin is brownish-green, with a darker green stripe running along the back and darker brown one above that intersected by lighter brown vertical ones. The head is a dark tan.
