Welcome back to looking at more Dino Dan creatures. Today we are moving on to all the new creatures introduced in Trek’s Adventures. Basically I’m looking at the design and any other information the show gives and amazing how accurate/inaccurate it is, followed by personal notes on the design itself.
Positives = Accuracies
IDK = Can’t find or tell weather that’s accurate/possible or not
Negatives = Inaccuracies
Alberto is fine design, but I don’t like the eyes and how it looks angry all the time. Also the shrinking wrapped skull and weird neck posture feels worse on the here than on the OG Rex.
Major improvement, I like the new skull shape a lot. But with that said now the colors look much too bright, the darker shades of blue were better. This deisgn with the old colors would be perfect
The colors look cool and the tail fans’ nice, but just like the original Dromaeo, he’s got a terrible feather cut. The skull shape is kinda bad too.
This looks much better, nice thin skull shape and a kinda cool feather crest. It’s a shame about the face and arms tho.
This Amargasaurus design is whack. Why is it so big and what’s with the proportions?! Also, while I prefer the spiked look for Amarga, I’d take any accurate neck sails over these weird Spino fins. With that said, I can’t deny the colors are beautiful (on the male, the female’s fine). Like the original Tricera, the color barley save it, but to a slightly higher degree
This Giga has really cool gray colors (would love to see this design in the shape of the RJ Palmer one), but the proportions are just wack. The arms come off as particularly goofy, since they’re way too small with hands much too big. Also, the ischium and pelvis thing I pointed out feels wrong. Head is alright though. If the proportions were better, this could have been really cool.
I’m not sure how I feel about the Micro. The colors, while outdated, look nice. Ignoring how skinny it is, the proportions look nice. The face is a mixed bag, but it’s a bit tolerable every now and then.
The face is better, but the crest looks silly and dumb. The body is honestly a bit of a downgrade, maybe because of the wings, colors, legs and chest. And it still baffles me that as late as the movie, they STILL avoid giving the dinosaurs proper wings!
Pterodaustro has a great face and actually looks really pretty with the red color and blue patterning. Quite a unique choice of creature too.
Draco has a really nice combo of green white and purple. Ignoring face being off a bit and the side spikes, pretty good design
I adore the coloration of Kosmo, blue with white and purple works so well! The face and shape are spot on as well. With that said, I don’t understand nor appreciate the rocky skin and osteoderms. But I can overlook that, one of my favorite herbivore designs from this show.
Why is Theri so small?! Also, the face looks kinda unappealing, especially how it doesn’t have feathers on the face. That and the back is weird. The rest of it is fine, the colors on the male looks pretty cool, with the white base and red spots (like Amarga, the female is just fine). Overall, kinda bad, I much prefer even Dominion Theri over it.
Psittacosaurus looks good. The brown and white stripes with hints of yellow go well together. I also find it neat how I can actually tell what species it is based on the skull. I’m also kinda upset it couldn’t use the quills for defense IRL. Also the body is a bit off
I’m doing the “Meteorite Survivors” trio cause well, I did do the Triassic Lizard boi, this is fair game too. That and unlike the one-off creatures from “Tyrannosaurus Trek” and “Quetza Grandma”, these aren’t so overly-cartoony to the point of being fruitless to cover.
I do like the colors, but I don’t really care for Tuatara. My absolute least favorite extinct animals are the ones that are too similar to modern stuff, because they’re often not unique enough, so not-lizard boi over here gets no praise from me.
What the hell is that?! It looked like a 10 yr old edgelord tried designing a shark. The fins look stupid and the face isn’t much better. Colors are neat I guess. So yeah, really bad design.
While this design doesn’t fit a Createous bird, the colors are really pretty and it’s unironically a better design for Archeopteryx than the one Dino Dana gave us.
The proportions for Deino aren’t nearly as bad as the Giga, and it’s kinda cool, mainly cause it’s a big crocodile. The tealish-green and reddish purple are another really good color scheme.
Archelon is also fine. The blue colors and orange shell looks pretty good here. The pointed shell is such a weird choice to me (tho looks a little cool) and the alt. isn’t much better. The flippers are also kinda bad.
Plesiosaurus is also decent, I like the green and orange patterning but its pretty un-notable beyond that
Like Kosmo, Futa has a beautiful green and blue color scheme with red highlights. I also don’t mind the shape, despite being inaccurate. The lips not closing is a red flag tho.
I honestly take more offense to the overly rough face of Ozraptor than the over-feathering. The colors are neat, but the design becomes kinda bad once you realize what Ozraptor is meant to be (small abelisaurid).
Also I find it weird how Futa and Ozzie were were introduced in Trek’s Adventures but only appeared once until Dino Dana
This color scheme would look beautiful on an accurate Utahraptor, but the face, arms and toe claws are a new level of “WTF that’s so wrong”.
This one is just disappointing, given how the toy and website version actually had feathers. Colors are still nice I guess, despite those also being a downgrade.
Updated notes (updates in highlights):
Thank you to @ScaryLookinHobo for pointing out some of these out to me.
This one was more of a grammar error, (original just said “shrink”)
Realized/forgot to mention the Stygi’s pronated arms
Can dinosaurs shiver?
I think I was wrong about Compy having 2 fingers
I didn’t notice the wrong fingers on Quetz before
Forgot to mention eppcopitals
The Stego plate placement looked off initially but I think mainly just a body shape and plate shape that threw me off.
Anyways thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed and goodbye.

This sauropod was suggested by both 11Duckhunt and EpicThoradolosaur. It may be a bit controversial to have spikes instead of a sail, but it's still possible (especially because Bajadasaurus makes the sail theory less likely).

A little break was taken from this series, but its back. Same thing, same company, new animal.
Same rules: Basically just rate the accuracy of the animal. Design is really it, though you could comment on its coloring as well. Simple enough. Info from the website will be used, and you can rate that too, just don't go ahead and rate their other species before I complete the series.

To catch up on the story here is the link to the previous episode
The park now opened to the public for tours to help raise funds for animal care and other expenses it has been slowly accumulated. The visitors are in awe of these animals and surprisingly the plateosaurus has become a park favorite among the visitors due to its size and surprisingly peaceful personality. The least liked animals are surprisingly the spinosaurus. Many of the staff wondered why such a popular species is so disliked by visitors but the main reason turned out to be the limited amount of times it is seen. Due to its amphibious nature and people look for the animal on land due to most media depictions and then the people get disappointed by what they see when they do see the spinosaurus. The staff have been planning on what should be brought back from the past next some suggestions were made from nasutoceratops to concavenator to tsintaosaurus to prognathodon to even one new staff member suggesting the impossible to contain and maintain argentinosaurus. The discussion was going no where until 6 animals were brought up those animals being Gryposuchus, Purrussaurus, Barinasuchus, Stupendemys, Eionaletherium, Granastrapotherium. The team realized that they could get all 6 of these animals in the same formation and time frame allowing them to get all the animals at once. So it was decided that those would be the targets for the expedition.
But all of a sudden a call from the argentavis aviary went off throughout the park. The keeper who was last in the aviary left the door that leads to the outside unlocked and the argentavis using its beak opened the door and is now flying through the park. To make sure animals brought back from the past don't leave the park if they break out they have an invisible fence like system to deter the animals from leaving. The capture staff saw the argentavis flying overhead over 150 feet in the air before they saw it start to circle over the allosaurus jimmadseni enclosure. By the time the team got there the allosaurus and argentavis were starting to try to intimidate the other from the recent food given by the staff during feeding time. The allosaurus confused on why the much smaller argentavis was still trying to scare the allosaurus away from the meat item lunged at the argentavis the argentavis got its wing bitten and damaged. Surprisingly this still didn't deter the argentavis. In the argentavis' mind it thought that this animal will just give up its carcass that it was eating by a show of intimidation like it did in South America on Smilodon and phorusrhacos. But the argentavis had no idea that this animal it was bullying was used to being bullied for carcasses and that it was not going to give it up to the bird. By the time they sedated the allosaurus and argentavis were able to get the argentavis out of the enclosure the wounds on the argentavis were extensive from the allosaurus biting the argentavis. The medical staff was called to the argentavis aviary to help with taking care of the wounds caused by the allosaurus.
But the park's problems were not over yet the saurophaganax had also broken out and had gotten into the Polacanthus paddock. The Saurophaganax tried bite onto the neck of the Polacanthus. But the Saurophaganax was only met by the thorny body armor of the Polacanthus and the saurophaganax gave up after getting a few broken teeth and slashes on the jaw before retreating further into the park to look for food. The park staff found the saurophaganax resting and sedated it before bringing it to a holding pen.
Finally the park calmed down and was able to open for the day. The group decided to postpone the expedition until the next day to rest or in case they were needed while things get repaired.
The next day
The next day the park expedition team was ready to get started heading to miocene Peru. The group arrived in the miocene and was immediately met a forest. They looked around for any signs of life and found a strange set of tracks that led to a deep river with a body of a mangled corpse of a ground sloth ripped apart. After examining the dead sloth it was determined that the sloth was attacked by a huge crocodilian of what kind they were not certain. But in the forest there were a bunch of breaking branches being heard. The capture group decided to get out of there in case it was a predator coming to scavenge off the dead sloth. But to their surprise it was a herbivore instead of a predator and a unusual one at that with an appearance similar to a mixture of elephant, tapir and boar it was something that was not hard to recognize as granastrapotherium a very odd animal. But the peace was interrupted when one of the Granastrapotherium near the forest let off a warning squeal as a predator was in the forest. The expedition team saw it as a opportunity but while the team got the time portal a large thin snout emerged from the river and grabbed onto the backpack that powerlord was wearing and tried dragging him under as the group saw this they tried helping powerlord as he had the food supplies in his backpack but the animal was just to strong and dragged him into the river he used his multi tool to cut his backpack off before seeing the cause of the incident a fully grown female gryposuchus croatzi at 9 meters long it is the largest gharial to ever live and terrified powerlord who rushed out of the water. The expedition team surprised powerlord was able to make it out of the attack with nothing more than a few bruises and loss of supplies. But to their surprise they were able to get a few of the fleeing Granastrapotherium and the predator a Barinasuchus into the park. Using gates and bait they were able to separate the two species.
But without food they would have to delay the rest of the expedition until they can resupply on food so everyone returned to the present. But something followed them into the present due to the proximity to the water when the clean up crew was cleaning up the area where the animals arrive from the past they immediately called for help dealing with it as the female gryposuchus ended up following them trying to get out of the water to sunbathe to warm up. But now away from its home water source that it lived in it was very agitated. But the other staff took it as a joke as the staff member that called in the gryposuchus report was known to make fake calls about what the animals were doing. The gryposuchus hungry still and agitated about being away from a water source went looking for a decent food source. The gryposuchus ended coming across one of the rivers and brooks in the park and decided to go swimming in it. It followed the river upstream into the allosaurus jimmadseni enclosure which used the river as its source of water for the animal to drink from. The allosaurus went to get a drink from the river not noticing the gryposuchus in the water and realized too late that the gryposuchus was in the water as the gryposuchus grabbed onto the chest of the allosaurus its jaws at this point the park staff saw the gryposuchus and realized that it was really in the park and was not a prank message over the radio system. The allosaurus was able to get free from the jaws of the gryposuchus and tried fleeing only to get its tail grabbed by the gryposuchus. The staff tried using poles to make the gryposuchus to force open its jaws like they do with the phytosaur when it tries eating things it shouldn't. But the gryposuchus was biting down too hard to break its grip on the allosaurus' tail. Then Rexyisdebest and harpy eagle enthusiast had a idea if it had a bad taste in its mouth it might let go from the bad taste. Meanwhile while they were trying to get something to get the gryposuchus to let go of the allosaurus the gryposuchus kept trying to drag the allosaurus into the river to drown the dinosaur. But the allosaurus was able to resist the force until the staff were able to get the gryposuchus to let go and get it to retreat back into the river but before it was able to fully submerge it was able to get a tranquilizer dart into its tail and get a tracking tag on it attached to an empty tranquilizer dart so once it was asleep they could get it. They were able to get it as it drifted right next to the tyrannosaurus rex enclosure. They put the gryposuchus in a holding pen but scarylookinghobo noticed while it was on its back there was a lump in the area where eggs would be before being layed. He suggested that the medical team do a scan for eggs in the gryposuchus.
A week later
The saurophaganax was able to be returned to its holding pen after having some of its broken teeth pulled to prevent infection and stapled up the deep wounds on its face to heal. The expedition team finally got enough supplies to return back to miocene Peru. They packed up the remaining supplies and provisions for the trip. The team returned to miocene Peru and was met with a giant mound with a giant caiman looking animal guarding it. The team tried distracting the giant caiman and figured out what was near the mound as a chirping noise was heard from the mound and around it. The mound was a nest but something was not right with the adult. When the humans tried getting close to the giant caiman it was not moving. They then poked the giant caiman with a long pole on the snout and it did nothing. Sadly the group determined that the adult was dead. Acryallo was able to get the babies to come out of hiding by using the team's jerky supply to lure them out. The group brought the babies back to the present to be raised in the present. Surprising the staff in the park they thought that the group would bring back from the past an adult purrussaurus but they understood why they didn't especially with their other new crocodilian that seems to not be a fan of being in the park after denying her a big meal in the form of the park's allosaurus jimmadseni.
The expedition team returned to the miocene and was able to use what delayed the return to the miocene a river boat. But while they were getting it into the river the group noticed another one of those sloths which after some looking into was figured out to be Eionaletherium. It is a species of ground sloth that spends some of its time in the water. The group was able to get its attention the same way they do with the Megatherium and they were able to get it into the park.
The team set out on the river on the search for a Stupendemys but found nothing but they looked behind them and saw a sight they were not expecting river dolphins. They spent the rest of the day looking for the Stupendemys and thought that they saw one but turned out to be a tree stump. The team spent the next night sleeping in shifts in case predators tried anything learning after the close call from the Morrison Formation involving a ceratosaurus. In the morning they headed back on the water and actually found a Stupendemys but it is huge weighing at least 1000 pounds they used a net to pull it next to the boat. They were successful in bringing it back. But in the process one of the limbs of the Stupendemys hit the one of the time portal rods on the park's end.
The rod got damaged and glitched out. The portal was closed but opened up to a unknown destination and time but soon a predator walked through it and eyed the group it snarled and charged at the group very quickly. The group was able to get the turtle to safety and get a dart in the predator. But then the time portal glitched again and a set of spikes attached to a sail on neck of a small sauropod instantly recognized as amargasaurus came through before battery died.
The therapod predator was identified as australovenator.
The next episode is the season finale and it involves going back to tendaguru formation
