Description
The giant herbivorous sauropod Ankylodocus is a genetically engineered hybrid dinosaur that combines the base genomes of Ankylosaur and Diplodocus. Its appearance borrows notable characteristics from each of its parent genera – its long neck strongly resembles Diplodocus, while it takes the protective spikes on its body from Ankylosaurus.
Discovery
At around 6 meters tall and over 28 meters in length, this genus is the largest dinosaur ever engineered by Dr. Henry Wu, the chief geneticist at the bioengineering company InGen. The impressive size of Ankylodocus is its main selling point – Dr. Wu believing that new visitors will be drawn in by such an enormous animal.
Paleoecology
Research into Ankylodocus’ paleoecology is at an early stage, but the genus is known to prefer an environment featuring grasslands and forests, sharing this habitat with a range of other dinosaurs. Ankylodocus exists mainly on a diet of tree ferns and conifers, and its vast size means it has very few predators. The genus tends to live alone or in small social groups.
Cohabitation Preferences
Behaviors are scripted in game files but are not guaranteed to happen. Dominance, territory, and traits determine whether they would actually fight.
