Every source says it's 200 lbs but it's only a juvenile and no one has found an adult specimen yet. How big do you estimate it's full adult size is? We can estimate Big Al as being 87% full grown, but not Dryosaurus?

This is what we're doing till the next park build starts
The first Dinosaur is Dryosaurus, there are 3 of them in the park, I will allow you guys to suggest names for 24 hours, and the ones I like the most will be picked
Also credit to @DankTorvosaurus who also did this
I said I'd build 2 more enclosures but I accidentally built 4 instead, anyways, I added a new enclosure near the entrance of the park
This enclosure includes 3 Dryosaurus and 6 Gallimimus
The I added another enclosure,I had a big empty space near the beginning so I added an enclosure to save space
This one includes 7 Homalocephale and 3 Pachycephalosaurus
I've built a Hadrosaurid enclosure next to the Ceratopsian enclosure which includes Corythosaurus, Parasaurolophus, and Edmontosaurus (4 of each)
And finally, I've built a Ceratosaurus enclosure next to the Albertosaurus enclosure with 3 Ceratosaurus
That's it for today, by the next part, I'll be finishing off the herbivore enclosures with an Ankylosaurus, and a Stegosaurid enclosure with Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus, and Ouranosaurus(I didn't know where else to place it, and I didn't want to add 4 more animals to the Hadrosaurid enclosure so it's going here) and I'll also be building a Dilophosaurus enclosure and an Allosaurus enclosure, anyways, goodbye

The feathers are sparse because in my mind, although some more basal Ornithopods had more feathers than this, all Iguanodontian Ornithopods had little to no feathers. This is just speculation, as I'm pretty the only Iguanodontian Ornithopods we have soft tissue of are Hadrosaurs, which were the most derived Ornithopods.

I'm writing another one of these to not get bored, and as a sort of "recap" incase the other log gets destroyed or something, I have found myself in some sort of alternate world where dinosaurs exist? I have absolutely no idea how I managed to end up here, but I also built a fireplace, a small shelter, and a water filter.
Speaking of the fireplace, I upgraded it by placing some bricks that I found in the woods next to my camp around the fire so I don't accidently cause a forest fire.
I've also gone exploring recently, and I saw a few pretty interesting things in the woods and valley I basically appeared in. I'll recount what happened here. Basically, I got hungry and I was sick of the same berries I was eating, so I decided to go walking around and try to find something else to make, or try to find something.
So, I went downstream from my camp, so I would not get lost. The river itself was browned, I assumed it has rained earlier because everything was muddy, and the mud must have mixed with the river water. The mud had ruined some of my clothes earlier, so that sucked.
One thing I found that I think is pretty weird is a metal wheel, which further supports my theory that there are other people here. I can't tell what it was used for, but it looked like it had been thrown out years ago. Hell, it had vines covering it.
I did see a few dinosaurs, such as those dryosaurs, but the largest thing I saw were what I think were edmontosaurus. A herd of them, just passed by.
However, not all of them were friendly. I've heard that if there's a predator in the woods, that every animal in the forest goes silent. Not sure if that's completely true, because I didn't really notice if it happened or not. I was just walking, and then simultaneously, I felt two distinct things. One was I smelt something absolutely putrid, and the second one was that I felt like I was being watched.
I stopped, and looked around. I was curious, but of course, I was also scared. At first I didnt see it, but then it moved. I think the thing that scared me the most about it was that it didnt make a sound except for the leaves that were crushed under it's feet.
I want to say it was maybe ten feet tall, whatever it was, it was terrifyingly fast for how large it was, it's scales were brown, with a white underbelly with what looked like a small yellow crest above it's eyes and a few black scales adorning it's face.
It was pretty clearly an allosaurus, or an allosaurid of some kind. I stood there, for maybe two seconds, taking in the details of what I was seeing, and then I bolted. I tried to run in between trees as much as I could, hoping that the trees would slow it down, which kinda worked.
I jumped down into shallowish river, it was a 9 foot drop, but I landed on my feet so it didnt hurt to much. I thought maybe that it wouldnt be able to get down, because usually larger animals take more damage when falling off of drops like that, but I was proven wrong when it just ran down a less steep portion of the creek bank that I didnt notice earlier. After that, it continued chasing me, except this time there were no trees impeding it from getting to me.
However, I saw a large pile of rocks up ahead that the river must have flowed through. No idea why they were there, but I climbed up them, and got out of that riverbed or whatever. The allosaurus couldnt persue me then, and then I guess it gave up, and decided I wasnt worth it.
After that, I quickly returned to my camp. I looked over the valley, and I saw something that I had not seen before, a road. I have no idea where it leads, but tommorow i'm gonna go to see where it leads, I just hope it leads to some sort of civilization.
Currently writing this again, right before I go to sleep while I cook a fish I grabbed out of the river. I'm gonna hope the smell of it doesnt attract any predators to my camp.
First of all, I would like to say I don't know if anyone will read this. I'm only writing this to keep myself occupied, and also I hope someone will find this notebook in the event that I die out here. I have no idea how I got here, but I will retell what happened over the past day.
First of all, I am studying engineering at the Virginia Commonwealth University, although I do study paleontology and world history in my freetime. I was walking across the city of Richmond to go to a corner store to get some candy, when I tripped on something. I have no idea what it was that I tripped on, but I closed my eyes and braced myself to slam into the concrete sidewalk, but instead, I landed in cold, wet, mud. The sensation of the cold mud on my face startled me, and I quickly got up. Some of my clothes were ruined, and I quickly wiped the mud off my face.
I was very confused, though. It had not rained for days, and it was pretty sunny in Richmond (The city where VCU is located.) It was also summer, which is why I was also dumbfounded that I felt cold all over my body, not just where I had landed in the mud. I looked around my surroundings, and to my amazement, I was suddenly in a forest.
I got up, and looked around. I found that the reason that it was so cold was that where ever I was, it was in autumn.
Dull brown leaves fell from the treetops around me. At this point, I realized something was not right. I looked through my backpack, which thank god that I still had, and started walking in a general direction, while yelling, trying to see if there was anyone, which in hindsight, was a pretty bad idea.
After maybe ten minutes of walking, I came upon a cliff, which overlooked a huge valley. I mean, this valley must have been miles wide. I could not see anything from the top of the cliff, and from where I was, I saw a waterfall, so I walked towards that.
Now, when I was back in the normal world, I used to go hiking a lot, so I knew a decent amount of survival skills. I quickly made a fire next to this small river, put some sticks in, warmed myself up, safely gathered charcoal from the fire, took out a plastic water bottle I had in my backpack, cut it open, and made a DIY water filter with rocks, and sand from the stream, as well as the charcoal I had gathered. I also tore a bit of a rag off that was in my backpack to help make this water filter.
Now that I had a fire going, and a source of clean water, I needed shelter and food. I ventured into the forest again, making sure not to go to far away from the fire. I gathered a pretty big rock, I might have been able to kill an animal with it. I didn't know long I would be out here, and I was pretty scared and desperate to do whatever I could.
That's when I heard a rustling coming from a tree. I looked at it, and my eyes didn't really make sense of what it was. At first I thought it was a tree branch, but the branches were.. clear? Then, the thing moved, and when it did, I realized what it was.
The thing was brown, it had six legs, and what I thought were tree branches were actually massive wings. It was an absolutely gargantuan dragonfly. It scared the absolute shit out of me, I threw the rock, hitting it right on it's thorax. It fell to the ground, it was shaking or seizing, I don't know. I love bugs, but something about their movements creeps me out, and when the bug is way larger than it was supposed to be, I was on the verge of a panic attack. I bashed the rock against it until it stopped moving.
At first I was relieved that it was dead, but then I felt immense guilt. I know, it sounds stupid, but I felt extremely guilty that I had basically just come across this creature, scared it half to death, then thrown a rock at it, and then beat it to death with said rock. I eventually stopped sulking next to the dragonflies corpse, and then realized, holy shit, maybe a dragonfly the size of my arm ISNT normal?
Then I remembered that one episode of Walking With Monsters, about the Carboniferous era, and the Meganura. But it couldnt be that, right? They went extinct hundreds of millions of years ago.
I eventually found a berry bush, which I gathered food off of and brought it back to my temporary camp. I gathered together rudementary leaf hut around the fire, and decided to sleep a bit.
When I woke up, it was still day, but it was around sunset. I looked around my campsite, and that's when I saw something. I thought it was a deer for a second, but then I saw it was standing on two legs, with a long tail, and two shorter arms. It was drinking from the river. I couldnt believe what I was seeing, it was actually a dinosaur. It was a dryosaurus, maybe a camptosaurus, I couldnt tell from where I was, but I could tell it was real. I walked towards it, and it ran away.
I ran over to where it was, and I attempted to run after it to see it again, and while I was, I came across something that caught my attention. It was a small brick wall, maybe two feet high. I inspected it, it was either incomplete or broken, I couldnt tell. I knew what it meant though. It meant humans were here, or had been here.
I'm back at my shelter now, writing all of this. The suns going down now, and i'm going to sleep here. I'll be writing these once every day to keep myself occupied. Goodnight to myself, I guess.

So many people believe in me, I bring so many people hope, but I myself don't know.. I just don't know. I can't describe my emotions. I guess you would describe it as the inability to tell anyone what's going in my life, because I don't think anyone can help me. After all, im known as a monster, or a hero, depending on whoevers side your on.
I don't know if I made the right choice. The aircraft im flying is designed so well, it's straining my body to the point where I think it's killing me. I feel dizzy after landing, I have experienced some short term memory loss, and breathing problems. I don't think I can take much more of this. I don't want to burden the medical staff though, and I don't think they would believe me.
I feel like I have to though, after what ive witnessed. Back when they first came back, in my home city, I saw horrible things. In Richmond, I was at a party. It was in the downtown area, I was with my best friends, and everything seemed normal. Someone looked outside, and told everyone to look. There was a military convoy headed down the street, just as they were passing by, an alarm came on the radio telling us to stay inside.
I don't remember a lot from that night, it was a blur, but what I do remember is that one of those pterosaurs ended up inside the apartment we were partying in. I hid under my friends bed, I was trying to stop myself from sobbing while hiding so I wasnt seen by it, I was the only one left. The door to the apartment was locked, and only the owner had the key.. my best friends were scrambling to get out, they were fighting, eachother, doing anything they could to get the key, I watched as the thing, that should not have even been alive, slowly stepped towards them. I closed my eyes when it did get to them. Why couldnt they have opened the door, and let eachother out before it got to them? It wouldnt have been able to fit through the door.
It left the house, and shortly after it did.. I went even deeper into city, it's a miracle I wasnt killed. So many people were running, but there was even more people fighting. I witnessed two large theropods taking on an M1A2 Abrams Tank. The tank was winning, until one of those light things shoot a beam of light from above, I heard the screams of the tank crew as the metal of the roof litteraly melted, and turned to molten liquid. I think only the driver managed to get out, the rest of the crew had to have drowned in the molten metal of their own tank.
Maybe thirty seconds after that, an Apache attack helicopter flew out from behind a tall building, shooting it's autocannon at the dinosaurs below. Then, out of all things, a fucking dryosaurus smashed through a window from a part of the building above the helicopter, it fell towards the helicopters rotor blades, and deliberatly fell into them. It died, but it destroyed the helicopters rotor blades and engine in the process, causing the Apache helicopter to crash into another building, causing rubble to fall onto the streets, and crush many of the people on the street.
I could go on, but the worst things I saw by far, were the things we the people did. The fact that nobody helped anyone else, I saw dinosaurs leap onto fleeing civilians, and the crowd just ran past, not stopping to help. I also saw people robbing from stores, and even stealing things from individual people. I saw people doing horrible things to eachother.
I eventually got out of the city, I had a job in the airforce, and I walked towards Norfolk which was still standing strong, under a group that called themselves the Chesapeake Federation. I joined, and since I was one of the only people left alive after the initial attacks, I was told to fly the F-22. There were only a few F-22 Raptors left, most had been destroyed, and we had the only operational squadron of F-22's that wasnt apart of the loyalist forces. Once the 2nd american civil war started, I was forced to kill so many people. I didn't want to.
I don't want anyone to see this document, I don't want people to loose hope in me.
