Aquatic and flying dinosaurs

[Lava Alien 1000]

just curious if Aquatic and flying dinosaurs are planned like as upcoming DLC or expansion?

Aquatic and flying dinosaurs aren't a thing.

There's a penguin that would like to speak with you

[Inardesco]

While penguins are certainly a semi-aquatic animal, when we take a look at the question and the context of said question, I will stick to my point. There are no aquatic and flying dinosaurs.

Animals like Mosasaurs, Ichtyosaurs and Plesiosaurs didn't belong to the Dinosaur clade and are in fact, reptiles that simply reverted back to an aquatic lifestyle rather than staying amphibious.

Pterosaurs as well do not belong to the dinosaur clade.

That said, both the pterosaurs and Ichtyosaurs are large groups of animals that went extinct alongside the Dinosaurs during the Cretaceous Extinction Event.

[Jojira]

Well, if we wanna get technical, there ARE flying dinosaurs. They even survived the extinction,

[Inardesco]

If we take the technical terms yes. Birds are descendant from dinosaurs and first arrived during the mid Jurassic. Even though the fossil record on the mid Jurassic, for some reason thus far unknown, is vastly scarce.

Modern birds do exist and have survived the extinction event.

However, in the context of this being a pre-65million year dinosaur game the most logical connection between OP's question and the context, brings me to my first answer.

Aquatic and flying Achosaurs, yes. Aquatic and flying dinosaurs, no. Unless they put in species like Archeopteryx, Anchiornis, Aurornis and such. Species from the late cretaceous beloning to the Eomaniraptora. Then I've said nothing.

Perhaps even species like Deinonychus would make the question turn to a yes, for flying dinosaurs.

That said, full flight is still in debate. They think they either assisted in gliding for species like Microraptor or simply for mating/dominance. The Wing-Assisted-Incline-Running still practiced by modern day pheasants is also an idea for the use of wings. Confusiosnornis is a bird that's known from many fossils.

Way to get off topic.
Back on topic.. why DLC or expansion? They were in the movie, they should be in the game. I expect to see at least every single species that was in the movie and then some. For a game with almost 50 dinos, omitting some of the ones from the movies would disappointing.

We don't know.

You seem to forget that only 26 are known thus far...

31*

Edit: If you include Deluxe dino's and I'm now realizing you weren't...

[Inardesco]

I just took the number from the wiki :p

They've hinted aquatic dinos in different parts but I've seen nothing about aviary.

because i am hoping if they are not in launch content at least they maybe coming in future content.

and so far they only showed land dinosaurs but i am cool with one or two dlc focusing heavily Aquatic and flying creatures and perhaps even introduce new and obscure species that wasn't even jurassic park universe before not to mention new buildings cages etc that suit them.

But why a DLC? Is it really that hard to do free updates? Really, everyone on this forum is obsessed with adding things via DLC

Something as big as aquatic animals which I don't even expect to ever see in the game is perfectly acceptable via dlc. The people asking for skins as DLCs tho.. thats rediculous.
