Survivors Wildlife Appendix
PLEASE NOTE I WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATING THIS APPENDIX I HAVE MOVED THE UPDATED VERSIONS TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE FORUMS

Welcome Survivors to this great thread to learn about the new and upcoming animals that will land in your Ark! This informational thread will include all you need to know about any animal.

I want to say a special Thank You to the Devs for adding my custom name for the Ape officially into the game. When the dossier dropped with just ????? Instead of a name. I made the name Megapithecus up for the ape because it needed a name. With the latest update I learned the devs actually started calling it megapithecus too. Im honored to have had a part in making the game, even just this tiny part. Thank you Wildcard Studios!


Welcome....to Jurassic Ark!

Please note that:
1. I AM NOT A DEV, Ive been getting a lot messages/friend request's from people who think I am.
2. Animals Listed as INGAME are ingame, Ones that are listed as CONFIRMED are still in development.
3. Male and Female versions of each species are ingame.
4. Each Species will have several different skins and sizes for variation. (procedural growth will be arrive when breeding is implemented, but colors are already implemented on launch.)
5. Once breeding is implemented, baby dinosaurs will be a thing too. Along with Egg stealing dinosaurs(Breeding has been confirmed to be coming either at the end of September.
6. There's around 25,000-30,000 NPCS on the Ark. Yes, this is true and OFFICIALLY confirmed.
7. Animals are listed as who was confirmed first. Alphabetical order will come when everything has been confirmed.

Please note that BOSSES are NOT counted

CURRENT TOTAL: 89 Species Confirmed
CURRENTLY INGAME: 51 Species Ingame
NUMBER OF ANIMALS LEFT TO BE ANNOUNCED: possibly 11 left.

l'll update the list as we learn more.

Anyway, Thank you for the kind words for thanking me for making this list for all you dino lovers out there. At first it was just for personal use, but I decided to share it! With it being so popular the devs decided to pin it! So say thanks to these amazing devs who have shown no limit to answering the communities questions!

That's just taxonomy... it's an arachnid and it resembles spiders. It is more closely related to scorpions (which we have two of) so I don't understand the need for it.
And, of course this argument too- it's alive today. People need to stop requesting animals that are alive today.
Just cause an animals alive today doesnt mean it cant be put into the game dung beetle and electric eel are being put into game. Plus, Solifugae is a living fossil existing since the carboniferous.

Also, Dakotaraptor has a good chance of still being a thing. Only a quarter of these bones belonged to a turtle.
lol I guess I should be reading the news more often...xD honestly had no idea It was a chimera. But don't we have the quillnobs in the forearm fossils? Doubt a turtle would have some of those....Meh.

Ehhh...Two things
-One Nuralagus is not like normal rabbits. They lumber around like bears, making them easy starters for meat, much like the dodos...Actually A lot like the dodos...Meaning they're slow due to their mass. I'm not giving it the procoptodon fix where I buff their agility and speed.

-Two Leptictidium, despite it having fur, it is not as thick as let's say a rabbit. And it definitely is not as apparent. Furthermore, it is more designed to live in a warm environment. No kangaroo rats live in the arctic. Leptctidium is definitely considered however. But most likely something to go in the swamp, not in the cold snow biome.
Splitting hairs on the Nuralagus... I don't see how a big hump and a slight difference in movement makes it so distinct from other rabbits. Rabbits are a diverse group, they all have differences but they're all rabbits.
And Hyaenodon didn't live in cold climates either, but there it is. You could change Leptictidium to be a snow biome rabbit-esque animal, boom problem solved.

Ursprungligen skrivet av SkaarSmashKikou:


The specie is B.Latifrons and, at least, it was not as worst as an Auroch. But, for be honest, I have suggested only because I don't view another creature taking his niche, since the Ceratopsians lived in more warmer climates.
As I said earlier, Hyaenodon didn't live in cold climates either. But they made it into a snow biome animal. Same could happen for a ceratopsian, or what we already have- Woolly Rhino
No I mean the reason why is because Nuralagus is sluggish. Easy to catch up to. The requirements for the animal I'm looking for are
Herbivorous
Slow moving
Small
and docile,
Nuralagus fits those requirements. Sure I can add an ambient creature to go along with Nuralagus to provide diversity, but it won't treat itself as an easy to kill creature. As for hyaenodon, yes it lives in the snow biome, but on the other hand, as you pointed out, hyena based creatures live in the arctic. Leptictidium faces a more Kangaroo rat-like treatment than Nuralagus, whereas Nuralagus are more like...A galapagos tortoise? Yeah...We'll go with that.

In terms of the diversity about rabbits. All rabbits look very similar.
Jackrabbits and hares have the same anatomical structure, forcing them to hop at very high speeds most of the time. Nuralagus may be a rabbit, but by no means is its locomotion at all similar to rabbits. It's a huge difference, affecting their speed and nature. Rabbits don't lumber around, they consistently hop. Furthermore their bodies are more slender, not hosting a giant hunchback and the face of a capybara. Also, a little bit more subtle to note is the fact that Nuralagus doesn't have an easily apparent tail to warn its own about predators. At the time it had none. Which is also the reason its ears are so small as well. Creatures like the wooly rhino on the other hand, have the exact appearance as a wooly rhino with the exception of...Well...Being woolly...Obviously. Nuralagus's pose, locomotion, lack of any means of defense, anatomical differences are much different from other species of rabbits. Where as Rhinos are like rabbit, they're not diverse. most species of rhino are very similar from the next, brontotherium is like many rhinos except for the differently shaped horn. The only exception is the indricotherium. A diverse rhino with a long neck that lacks a horn.

We have only 1 scorpion. Jaekelopterus is a eurypterid, which isn't even an arachnid. The nickname "sea scorpions" for eurypterids is a stupid one, seeing as even the morst scorpion-like eurypterids don't look any more like a scorpion then a lobster does.

Both dung beetle and electrophorus were sort of...Irreplaceable for the niche. Electrophorus produces electricity...I'm not gonna make ANY prehistoric animal use that ability even if I have creative liberties. Dung beetle is coprophagic, not many animals are primarily coprophagic. Besides, we already HAVE a spider. We don't need another spider.

Mazothairos was an actual prehistoric herbivorous palaeodictyopteran, look it up... <_<

And how in the world can I accept that Amphicoelias existed if it went kaputt in less than a second?

I think I misspelled it, so I got no sources. It really needs a wikipedia page.
You misspelled kaput, and how did it die in less than a second?

5. Poor Amphicoelias, get out of the 5 stages of grief and accept it was probably a 80 m long sauropod.
While I will agree that PC's seeming hatred of Amphicoelias is unwarranted, don't exaggerate. 40-72 meter long sauropod.

Oh OK. But there's also a theory going on around that it's actually an Acheroraptor with an unidentified turtle.

Woops...Sorry, I misinterpreted
"Megacerops is an extinct genus of the prehistoric odd-toed ungulate (hoofed mammal) family Brontotheriidae, an extinct group of rhinoceros-like browsers related to horses. It was endemic to North America during the Late Eocene epoch, existing for approximately 4.1 million years."
I misinterpreted the rhinoceros-like as rhinos :/
Either way, that doesn't mean that others interpret them as rhinos in the same way hyaenodon is interpreted as a hyena. By no means are they similar.
