The colors aren't based on any one specific thing, but I referenced Guinea Fowl for the colors of the head.

The Brush Turkey Dinosaur (Alecturasaurus Casuarius) gets it's name due to it's colors resembling an Australian Brush Turkey. They live in Jungle environments.
This Turkey-like dinosaur is much bigger than an actual Turkey.

Seriously, I used to HATE Anzu, and I have no reason why. Anzu is cool!
This is from that Saurian game.
Casuarimimus Anzuformis (Anzu-Like Cassowary Mimic) is a Caenagnathid Oviraptorosaur from the Forbidden Valley. If Casuarimimus had been named during the time of the first film, its species name wouldn't reference Anzu because the first film is set in 1925, and Anzu wasn't named until 2014.
Length: 3.5 meters (11.28 feet)
Weight: 200 kilograms (441 lbs)
The Nova Insula reboot is nearing completion, so I'd like to create some hype and give you all some sneak peeks. 👀
The fauna included will be a mix of Hell Creek, the Morrison, and Jehol Biota.
An "Evolutionary recap" will be included with each Generation, summarizing recent speciation, extinctions, and more.
The story section of old Nova Insula will be majorly overhauled, and each Generation may even have 2 stories incuded!
Both speciation and extinction will be greatly expanded upon, with different populations dividing into different species, allopatry (?), mass extinctions, and more!
Get ready for a wild journey in the evolutionary tides of this primal planet, coming soon!

The link above is for the prolouge to the special I wrote it should explain a few events that are happening
And this link is to the last full episode for those newer to this story
As the group was getting ready for the three new large inhabitants they were talking about what will happen when the park actually opens to the public for tours to fund the supplies and care for the animals. One thing that was an issue they have to deal with before they open was the plateosaurus that was brought back from the triassic period. The animal was one of the largest animals in the park up there with the spinosaurus and carcharodontosaurus in terms of size. The issue is it is very curious about people and tries to get out of its enclosure to follow people. Which may seem like a good thing but it is not if you are trying to show people the plateosaurus and then move the people to show them another animal. One idea which was one that was shot down immediately due humane treatment reasons was making the plateosaurus afraid of the people but due to its size and surprisingly good hearing which the park found out about when the baby sloth got between the fence posts that had a slight angle and it couldn't tolerate the baby's loud wailing noises from it getting stuck most methods would be seen as a little cruel. So it was decided to always have a staff near the plateosaurus enclosure so it always has a person to look at until they can think of a better humane way to get the plateosaurus which the park has named fern after her diet. The smilosuchus hasn't been much of a problem except for when one person who didn't work at the park snuck into the park and came face to face with the giant phytosaur resulting in the phytosaur who tried to bite the person who got noticed and was brought to the local authorities for trespassing. Luckily they only saw the phytosaur which the person mistook for some giant crocodile. The Carcharodontosaurus has been slowly recovering from the incident but megalania enthusiast noticed one thing off about the enclosure after walking through it the void of all large plants. After looking into it megalania enthusiast suggested planting tall trees in the enclosure before returning the carcharodontosaurus the last of the animals to be returned to their home enclosures from the incident. After the plants were planted they returned the carcharodontosaurus who the staff named Sharktooth after the species name. The Permian animals were doing well but went missing after the storm the diplocaulus nicknamed fluffy as a joke. When the storm hit the diplocaulus was seen trying to weather the storm by hiding in a underwater rock circle in the river but after the storm the river it lived in was flooded and it was extra murky. So a group of people including d1n0 have gone to search the river. With the enclosures for the three new large animals that they have been planning for since the park's conception. Those animals being ankylosaurus, triceratops and tyrannosaurus rex. After a long debate on where to get the animals it was decided to go to the hell creek formation. After a meeting on preparing for the trip and possible dangers a weird chirping noise was heard from outside the building. They looked outside and it was the Polacanthus they got out of their enclosure but were easily moved after luring them with food to holding pen they went to look at the enclosure and found that the Polacanthus were rubbing up against the fence posts and their body armor damaged the wood posts so new fence posts with metal covers were put in to replace the damaged posts. The capture group finally went to the hell creek formation and was met with a rude awakening a downed sub adult rex with broken bones sticking out of its legs. The capture group thought about possibly bringing it to the present but the cause was still there as well. That cause being a pissed off ankylosaurus that was not liking the humans being there. The group decided to leave to let the ankylosaurus calm down but stay in the area to get the rex. As the group watched the ankylosaurus was heard making similar vocalizations as the Polacanthus they were surprised that the ankylosaurus were making the noises as well as the Polacanthus. But eventually the ankylosaurus calmed down. Meanwhile back in the present the medical staff lead by palaeo went to check in on the vaquita who were settling well even swimming towards the group they may be small but they are very smart they have been fed a diet of squid and small fish. But the aquatic center has been being built more even an aquatic holding pens of various sizes and a aquatic time portal spot for bringing aquatic animals to the present without the need to carry them like they did with the vaquita because two animals are being prepared for a platecarpus and a Dolichorhynchops. The park has also been dealing with the heavily injured male spinosaurus despite the park's efforts the female spinosaurus won't leave the male Spinosaurus. They decided to sedate all 6 spinosaurus as the pair had offspring but only four were able to hatch. They were successful and finally got the male Spinosaurus separated and was able to get help they put the arm in a cast. Back in the past they prepared the time portal and tranquilized the rex to prevent it from thrashing around and they tied the mouth shut with metal chain so if it wakes up they were going to use rope but when talking the group thought the jaws of a rex would break the rope. They then opened the time portal the staff at the holding center for land animals were surprised and in awe of the animal then acryallo sent a message over the radio system that the rex has broken legs and can not get up. When spinozilla heard that the t rex was there and was upset because he thought that the Spinosaurus was going to be the biggest thing in the park in terms of body mass even though the carcharodontosaurus was in the park already. The medical team came to the holding pen where the rex they named Jane after the museum specimen. When they arrived they replaced the chains around the jaws for 3 giant rubber bands that are made of a hyper elastic substance. They started to x Ray the legs once it was in a holding pen.
The capture group returned to the past to look for the ankylosaurus which was easier than you would think because they followed the tracks and listened to the environment for its distinctive call which gave it away but they then found the other animals that they were after triceratops they were drinking from a stream with torosaurus the opened the time portal but while they were trying to get the ceratopsians in the time portal an animal was investigating it and it walked through but was in for a surprise as triceratops and torosaurus the dinosaur ran out of the way and was grabbed out of the enclosure the anzu was a surprise they didn't plan for but the staff were not really surprised that an accident happened when it came to bringing back the herbivores now they have a anzu.
The capture group went back to the past with a jeep to look for the ankylosaurus which turned out to be very rare and the terrain is hard to track down one they keep finding triceratops and torosaurus footprints until they hear a call like that of the Polacanthus but louder and slightly deeper and they find the cause of the disturbance a pair of pachycephalosaurus are trying to get a ankylosaurus away from their nest. The group set up the time portal and purposely shot the ankylosaurus with a tranquilizer dart on the armor piece making the ankylosaurus very agitated thinking it was under attack and it saw barely the jeep and swung its tail at the jeep crumbling the jeep on contact. Luckily no one was inside it and the group took the opening and tranquilized the ankylosaurus in the leg. Back in the present the staff were getting things ready for going after the platecarpus and Dolichorhynchops when over the radio a call was sent out the male Spinosaurus breached containment and was heading towards the location where the smilosuchus was the nearest body of water the spinosaurus knew what crocs were and occasionally ate them but only when they were resting and they are not as large as the smilosuchus is the smilosuchus was in the water as it knew the keepers would feed it soon it just waited but then spinosaurus broke in the the wall preventing the park staff from attacking attempts from the smilosuchus. The spinosaurus tried fishing in the pond but all of a sudden the smilosuchus had its jaws around the spinosaurus' head and using its strength in swimming putting the head in the water attempting to drown the spinosaurus. The staff arrived and tranquilized both one problem they had to get the smilosuchus to release its jaws or they might stay locked onto spinosaurus once tranquilized and unconscious the spinosaurus struggled to get its head free but the smilosuchus did the one thing that the park staff didn't want to happen it went into a death roll the spinosaurus tried to escape but the sedatives kicked in in the spinosaurus and it collapsed to the ground the phytosaur continued to death roll as the spinosaurus fell the phytosaur let go and regrabbed and started trying to take chunks of what it thought was a dead animal but the staff pulled the spinosaurus out of the water and realized that it stopped breathing they tried getting it to breathe again but realized it had drowned. Spinozilla was furious and said that the phytosaur should be put down but the other staff said that the Spinosaurus was the reason this happened not the phytosaur and said if the spinosaurus chose a different water source that didn't have a crocodile like animal that was waiting for its food they eventually all agreed that the phytosaur was not being put down and Spinozilla would be put on leave so he could calm down and in the past the ankylosaurus was being prepared to be loaded onto a trailer to be brought back. When it arrived everyone was excited about it.
Off in the aquatic center the staff prepared the special capture boat for going after the platecarpus and Dolichorhynchops they were going to stick near the coast and to avoid a run in with the large mosasaur tylosaurus in the depths of the western interior sea. The group was ready and motored through the time portal the group very early on found the Dolichorhynchops it tried getting away but they group was able to keep up and sedate the plesiosaur and that attracted the platecarpus they prepared a dart but another Dolichorhynchops came poked the platecarpus and it made it chase it but the staff sedated the mosasaur another way a water sedative that it got in its system by opening its mouth to try and take a bite but the other Dolichorhynchops was sedated by the sedatives as well. They were brought back and put in separate holding pens made for aquatic animals.
Next episode the park opens to the public and the capture group ends up in the Morrison formation where a world of giant sauropods and predators. In the park something major happens in the park that proves that size doesn't mean you have a advantage in escape attempts
I will give credits to the image sources in the comments tomorrow

Episode 7: Tyrants, Tanks, and Titans, Oh My!
*intro plays*
“Tyrannosaurus rex. The largest, strongest, and by far most famous theropod ever known,” A large female Tyrannosaurus walks across the screen. “It’s a name that strikes fear, majesty, and awe into our hearts. Weighing up to 11 tonnes, it truly is a sight to behold. While usually depicted as a murderous monster, that claim has been proven false.” The Tyrannosaurus scratches an itch by moving against a tree.
The Tyrannosaurus heads to a little valley, and finds her nest, with eggs about to hatch. She sits down and closes her eyes a bit. An Anzu sneaks by and finds the nest, and it's hungry. The Anzu grabs an egg and runs away.
The Tyrannosaurus wakes up and yawns, and as she’s doing so, some chirps start coming from the nest. Newborn Tyrannosaurus start getting out of their eggs as the adult Tyrannosaurus watches with a motherly eye.
3 months later
The young Tyrannosaurus scramble around in the fallen leaves of autumn. They run and jump inside the leaves as their mother watches them. A subadult male Tyrannosaurus comes into the area and rumbles, signaling that he wants territory. The male tries to intimidate the female, but she charges at him, forcing the male to leave. The male begrudgingly leaves.
The young make huge holes in the leaf piles and enjoy not having to deal with the dangers of life right now at this young age.
5 years later
Most of the hatchlings died, however, 3 still live with their mother, as she teaches them to hunt. “Here we see a few heirs ---yes, that’s the name we coined for young Tyrannosaurus--- join their mother in hunting a young Edmontosaurus”. The young Edmontosaurus keeps watching the surroundings if there is any suspicious activity. The adult Tyrannosaurus, now called a queen, charges out of the trees.
The adult slams into the Edmontosaurus, flipping it over, but the Edmontosaurus manages to smack the Tyrannosaurus using its tail, and then attempts to run away. The Tyrannosaurus, with a burst of speed, grabs the young Edmontosaurus by the tail, and then plants her feet onto the back of the Saurolophine. The adult then bites the head of the Edmontosaurus, which kills it, and rips it off.
The young enjoy a feast as a Cephaloleinchnites beetle walks nearby, which gets eaten by an Avisaurus. One of the young Tyrannosaurus jumps up and grabs the Avisaurus, pinning it to the ground.
Over by a river, an Ankylosaurus sits down and tries to rest, however, the Torosaurus neighbors are loud during this time of year, as it’s mating season. The Ankylosaurus gets up and bellows at one of the male Torosaurus. The Torosaurus bellows and poses in an intimidating stance. The Ankylosaurus lifts its tail up and slams it on the ground. The Torosaurus isn’t phased and does a mock charge, but the Ankylosaurus doesn’t know this and smacks the Torosaurus, knocking a horn off. “Even though these two animals are what people call gentle giants, they aren’t gentle at all. That is just like if you call a hippo a gentle giant. It is a massive lie. Anyhow, Triceratops was once thought to be a younger Torosaurus! Now, I kind of get why, with Torosaurus having a much bigger frill, but that theory has been disproven. Ankylosaurus also is one of the strongest non-sauropod dinosaurs, as with its armor and tail club, it can beat any theropod, despite what the Spinosaurus fanboys say”. The victorious Ankylosaurus bellows and walks away.
6 years later
“Only one heir has managed to survive to the present day. This female juvenile, who, after talking with our staff, we’ll call Regina”. Regina runs across the screen and snarls. Regina starts to sniff the air, but a twig snaps and Regina turns around to watch where it came from. Another female Tyrannosaurus, but a juvenile this time, came out and snarls. Regina growls at this opponent.
The other Tyrannosaurus charges at Regina, but Regina manages to dodge. Regina snarls and bites the face of the opponent. The opponent manages to break free and runs away. “Face-biting is a common practice for Tyrannosaurus. Whether it is for territory, mates, or food, face-biting is a good deterrent for opponents. The opponent that Regina won against is NOT Nanotyrannus, as Nanotyrannus is fake, just like Troodon, however the opponent will actually be one of the most important Tyrannosaurus specimens in the world. Jane.” Regina snarls at the fleeing opponent before starting to hunt.
Regina finds an Anzu and stalks it. “Anzu is a large oviraptorid, but not the largest. That title goes to Gigantoraptor. Anzu likely is an omnivore, similarly to its smaller relatives.” Regina runs after the Anzu and bites its neck. The Anzu shrieks, alerting a bull Triceratops nearby. Regina knocks the Anzu over, however, she also flips herself over. The bull Triceratops bellows and displays his frill to intimidate Regina. Regina gets up and pins the Anzu, but looks at the Triceratops. The Triceratops, not liking the presence of a carnivorous animal nearby, charges at Regina.
Regina gets off the Anzu and runs away.
11 years later
Regina is an adult now, and is now at a massive 8 metric tons. It is breeding season for Tyrannosaurus, and she finds an even bigger 10 metric ton male. The male displays by doing a mating dance. After the male preforms the dance correctly, Regina joins in the dance. After they finish dancing, they mate.
5 months later
Regina had found the perfect spot to lay her eggs. The soil was the right temperature, the nearest water source wasn’t too close or too far, and there was a tree for shade. “Now, we see for the first time ever, footage of a Tyrannosaurus laying its eggs”. There was also a dot in the sky that seemed to get ever closer. Regina started to dig the nest. “The digging process may take a whi--Oh no, what?” said the narrator, “You mean it’s right now?!?!?! We have to go! Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap. Umm, to those watching, we had an oversight, and the asteroid is coming right fukuivenatoring now!” What’s the qui--The jeep? Let’s start going!”.
Regina finished digging the nest, and she started to get materials to help make it better for the eggs. Out of nowhere an ear-splitting growl comes and goes as a jeep heads off camera. Regina, startled by this potential threat, follows the jeep.
The ending is up for you to headcanon! At least until I prove what happens. Do we have a Nigel Marvin moment, or do we have another dead Tyrannosaurus, or something else?
