Dinosaurs are the main attraction of every park in Parkasaurus. They are separate by classes and have their own needs and characteristics, such as color, sex, name, diet, biome, social needs and more. Dinosaurs can also wear Hats, which change their appearance and can give special perks. This page contains a list of all dinosaurs currently in the game, along with a brief explanation of their attributes. Please note that as the game is in Early Access, this page might be changed in the future.

Exhibit[ | ]

Exhibits are where dinosaurs live. Each exhibit can be customized to ensure the happiness of your prehistoric friends.

Each dinosaur species has their favourite Biome. Placing certain tiles inside the exhibit change the biome: grass tiles allow for Forest, Rainforest, and Taiga biomes; desert tiles allow Desert, Prairie, and Savanna biomes; and mud tiles allow Tundra, Alpine, and Swamp biomes. A biome can be adjusted to fit a dinosaur's preference by changing the terrain and humidity, such as by using a water tool. A graph of an exhibit can be viewed by clicking on the exhibit's perimeter.

The Biodiversity of an exhibit affects your dinosaur's happiness. It can be changed by adding more trees, bushes and rocks to the exhibit (the number of items necessary increases with the area of the exhibit) Each plant and rock needs to be placed on specific tiles, listed on their description (hover the mouse over it's thumbnail in the Scenery tab to see the description).

Dinosaurs also need a minimum size (measured in ft²) to live happily inside an exhibit. The minimum size of the exhibit can increase or decrease depending on the number of dinosaurs that live in it. For example, a single Stegosaurus needs 420ft², two need 840ft², and so on.

The Appeal of an exhibit depends on the dinosaurs that live there, and affects how much the guests like it. Appeal of a particular dino grows over time. Higher tier dinos start with more appeal. All the information about an exhibit can be viewed by clicking on the fence that surrounds it.

Hunger[ | ]

There are two types of dinosaurs in the game: herbivores (vegetarian), and carnivores. Herbivore dinosaurs can only eat plants from a Vegetarian Feeder, while carnivores only eat meat from a Meat Feeder. Plants and Meat may be bought from their respective shops in the Town. It is also possible to order a daily supply of each, which will be delivered every morning near the entrance of your park.

Feeders have different sizes, ranging from small to large, and the special Tray Feeder and Tower Feeder for Sauropods. Larger Feeders hold more pieces of food until they need a refill, making it easier to feed more dinosaurs. Veterinarians will refill empty feeders automatically if the corresponding box in their Tasks tab is checked. They also need at least one door and one unit of plants or meat to use. Each feeder can be assigned to be filled with a specific plants or meat cuts to serve the dinosaurs their corresponding quality food.

When ordering food and managing your plant and meat distribution, be aware of the dinosaurs feeding behaviour:

- Dinosaurs eat the same quantity a day.

- The basic and quality food fill the same amount of food meter, BUT the quality food increases enrichment by a small amount as well.

- Hunger is the same for both baby and adult dinosaurs.

- A dinosaur's food consumption varies around 4-5 times a day.

- Dinosaurs with the chubby trait eat more (+2 to the average amount).

Privacy[ | ]

When guests view your dinosaurs, this will affect their Privacy negatively, decreasing their happiness. Although increasing the privacy of an exhibit raises a dinosaur's privacy and happiness, this causes guests to be unable to view the dinosaurs inside. It is necessary to balance these aspects out by giving enough privacy for a dinosaur, but also enough viewing points for a guest's satisfaction.

A heatmap of privacy tiles can be viewed by clicking on the eye icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Green indicates that a tile is very private, both yellow and orange are somewhere in the middle, and red indicates that it is not at all private. Privacy Tiles, found in the terrain tab, are always green. Opaque walls increase the privacy of nearby tiles, whereas paths decrease the privacy of nearby tiles.

As a dinosaur's privacy meter gets low, that dinosaur will hide in privacy tiles until it has refilled. After it has refilled, the dinosaur will continue to roam around the exhibit again.

Health[ | ]

Health determines how healthy your dinosaur is. Veterinarians will automatically heal your dinosaurs if the corresponding box in their Tasks tab is checked.

Social[ | ]

Each dinosaur needs one mate (a dinosaur of the opposite sex) and friends of the same species depending on their nature (Herd or solitary).

Herd dinosaurs need a mate and other dinos of the same species in order to satisfy their social needs. Solitary dinosaurs only need one mate to be happy.

Parkasaurus now allows players to breed dinosaurs. Make sure the "Allow Breeding" box is checked in the info tab.

First, a Dinosaur Nest must be placed in the exhibit. Dinosaur Nests can be found in the "Exhibit" objects under "Breeding."

Next, the exhibit must have 2 dinosaurs of the opposite sex to have 80% happiness. Once the conditions are met, the nest will be replaced with an egg on the next day.

Enrichment[ | ]

Dinosaurs play with toys to fill their Enrichment bar.

Toys can be unlocked in the Heart Tree. Examples include Toy Ball, Toy Tire, and Toy Rope
