The four legged monster from 65 doesn't have an official name but people who've watched it call it a Fasolasuchus which is not a dinosaur but is a different type of reptile called a Rauisuchian. Now, the design featured in the movie pretty much has nothing to do with Fasolasuchus other than it walks on all fours so I decided to give it a slightly more accurate design, with some major alterations.
As you can see, the skull shape is a little more accurate but as I said, there are some alterations. The biggest one is the prominent nasal horn jutting from the nose, it also has a row of spikes down it's back, it still has the overlapping teeth, and it also has spikes on its chin. You may have noticed that I gave it a species name like how I do with my Sauria Island series. It's name translates to Fasola Crocodile Giant and it is 36 feet tall and 60 feet long.
In this version, it's more of a threat and shows up more frequently. Somewhere in the story, Mills, the main protagonist of the movie, finds out that the reason why he and Koa are the only ones alive is because the Fasolasuchus killed the other passengers. Which leads to Mills developing a rivalry with the beast.
There's also a scene during the final fight where Mills tries to activate the pod he and Koa were going to use but the Fasolasuchus appears and tears through the ship the pod was connected to which traps Koa. It mainly uses it's horn in this scene because it destroys half of the ship using it.
During this scene, Mills lures the beast away from the ship. He sees the geyser field and tries to fool the Fasolasuchus into going into it. However, in this version the monster is intelligent enough to know not to go in there.
With no options left, Mills uses whatever is left in his gun to worsen the damage on the Fasolasuchus' right eye which Mills shot during the cave scene. During this encounter, the Tyrannosaurus pair that showed up in the movie would appear in this scene instead because they were trying to find shelter from the meteor. However, they came upon the Fasolasuchus and it resulted in a fight because the beast saw the two theropods as a bigger threat than Mills. This gives him enough time to get back to the ship and off the planet.
So yeah, the Fasolasuchus doesn't die in this version. At least to the geysers anyway, since the meteor would strike right after that.
What do you think?

I don't know if this variant of a spinwheel zoo has been done yet, but from what I've seen it hasn't so hopefully this is a new idea for everyone.
Before we get very far, let's settle some ground rules.
This is only the species suggestions segment, so keep that in mind.
Each user can suggest 10 to 12 animals (of any era). Dubious species will be allowed, invalid species will not, but try to keep your selection all valid.
You cannot choose the same animal as someone else.
That's really the rules. Pretty simple.
I'll put my species choices now.
Siats
Chilantaisaurus
Huayangosaurus
Fasolasuchus
Xenacanthus
Eusthenopteron
Platyhystrix
Inostrancevia
Otodus sokolovi
Meiolania
Ferrucyon avius
Vulpes qiuzhudingi
With that said, I'll be going now. Heading back to Cleveland to check out Paul Sereno's Dinosaurs of the Sahara exhibit at the science center, I'll be gone until Monday. Ask to be pinned for the next part.

Fasolasuchus yasui
Height: 2.9 meters
Length: 10 meters
Weight: 4,500 pounds
Group: Loricata
Fasolasuchus atroxi is the largest species of terrestrial carnivore up until it's time. With its powerful size and strength, it can hunt even the largest herbivores in the Upper Triassic, 30 million A.G.D., such as aetiosaaurs and dicynidonts.
Its build is similar to other pseudosuchians of today, such as the raisuchian Postasuchus. It's four, muscled legs are perfect for travelling great distances and for holding down prey. Although it is to large and center-balanced to walk bipedally, Fasolasuchus can rear up for a few moments, perhaps when fighting herbivores.
The jaws of Fasolasuchus tall and wide, perfect for delivering crushing bites into bone. In fact, we have estimated it can inflict a bite force of over 35,000 newton's, easily crushing the bones of Desmatosuchid necks. This is around the same crushing force as the Tyrannosaurus, which is a mighty feat for a crocodilian to achieve.
Wait a minute, Tyrannosaurus? What's that? Never heard of it. 🤷♂️
250 million years ago, the Great Dying decimated life one Earth. 95% of all creatures died in one swift wave of fire. Then here we are, 30 million years later, and the environment is left with open niches to fill. We all know the story about how the dinosaurs rose from small beginnings to fill in these niches, dominating the world for 160 million years.
But what if they never made it? What if a different group beat the mighty dinosaurs to it? What would happen if prehistory changed its course and Dinosaurs Never Evolved?
It is the Triassic period, 30 million years A.G.D. We are here in North Eastern Pangaea, the super continent of the world.
We are in a desolate desert wasteland, with only a few scorched trees in sight.
In the last 30 million years, in the absence of the giant Permian synapsids, we have seen an explosion in new giant forms of live.
A massive predator runs past on 4, powerful legs.
This is Fasolasuchus, a 30 foot super killer of the modern age! It is the largest terrestrial predator the world has ever seen, up until now.
The Fasolasuchus stops and sniffs the air.
And it hunts large reptiles.
Nearby, a smaller, herbivorous crocodilian nibbles at a dried bush.
A Desmatosuchid is the most massive herbivorous reptile in these lands. At over 5 meters long and heavily armored, it poses a great threat to its few enemies. Fasolasuchus is in fact one of these few enemies.
The Fasolasuchus snarls at the desmatosuchid, and rears on its hind legs. The desmatosuchid turns and groans. It crouches, ready to defend itself with its large shoulder spikes. The Fasolasuchus turns and leaves.
These new forms of giant life will likely set the cornerstone for even larger giants. We must prepare for a new chapter in the story of life.
The deserts of our planet are vast, stretching throughout most of Pangaea's interior. In North Eastern Pangaea, they are particularly brutal. But it is not completely void of green.
We arrive at a large desert oasis. Ferns and cycads adorn the small speck in the desert.
It is the beginning of this world's wet season, and this oasis boasts a wide variety of new plant life. Tall cycads and numerous but weak ferns.
A small mammal-like creature moves from the bushes, twitching its whiskers.
This probainognathid is a cynodont. A proto-mammal. It spends its days searching for small primitive lizards to eat.
The probainognathid scratches at the ground and sniffs the air. It peers at a odonopterid flying around a nearby fern.
Mammals? An insignificant small life form. Have you even heard of them? Up until now, they never even really existed.
A larger creature bursts from the bushes and kills the probainignathid. It is a clawed and bares sharp canines. It snarls viciously.
Tyrannodon. A true mammal. But isn't this predator before its time? Today, we look back and barely see a glimpse of mammalian life.
The Tyrannodon bites the probainognathid in the thoats, restraining it with its terrible claws and weight.
With the lack of fast predators, the mammals have evolved quickly. Their efficient reproduction and nurturing system give them an advantage overother animals. And, due to lack of competition, they have left their burrows to become vicious terrestrial predators.
The Tyrannodon drags its kill into the bushes of the now silent oasis. Small flying reptiles appear in the skies above.
But where do they find enough food? Prey can't be too quick, as Tyrannodon has forfeited speed in favor of killing weapons and bulk. Well, the large herbivorous crocodilians have little competition, but they aren't suited for the newly evolved species of ferns and other plants. Therefore, to adapt quickly enough they grew drastically smaller, requiring less bulk to fuel with their malnutritional diet. But, they have yet to become speedy escape artists, as running fast using up energy they do not yet possess.
The Tyrannodon drags its kill into a small ditch. A squealing sound can be heard below. Insects buzz out of the animal's path.
Because of this, the Tyrannodon's common prey is crocodilians. But it will hunt proto-mammals given the chance.
Mammals are only taking their first bites, and they cannot diversify quite yet. This scorching Triassic climate does not providethe environment they need for rapid adaptations, so the mammals will have to wait a while to grow larger bodies.
The Tyrannodon snarls as a small flying reptile dives toward the carcass, and swats the air. The reptile flees.
This Tyrannodon is a male, and he's bringing his kill back to his family. These mammals are monotremes, meaning they lay eggs like their therapsid ancestors. But upon hatching, the young are fed and raised by their parents. It increases their chance of survival, but also means only a few young can be cared for at a time.
The Tyrannodon gives the probainognathid to the mother, and she uses fearsome fangs to rip it apart.
The mother Tyrannodon must constantly be fed, to keep her milk supplies high. The babies, thankfully, are almost ready to move out on their own. They've been under their parents protection for almost 10 months now.
The babies squeal and move to greet their father. Whiskers twitching. Small stubs, growing canines, poke out from between the younglings' lips.
This small ditch is cool and peaceful, perfect for a mammalian predator like Tyrannodon. However, safety is often a misconception in nature. A large creature is approaching.
The sound a crunching can be heard from outside the ditch. A hissing, almost sizzling sound can be heard. The Tyrannodons look up.
A meter long animal peers over the side ditch, antennae swishing in the air. It's mandibles clatter together and it hisses a ferocious hiss.
To be continued.

Hello guys! So well know about prehistoric animals right, and some people might know about seed worlds a kind of Speculative Evolution that has an animal be seeded onto another planet, kinda like Kaimere. So I'd like to see everyone's prehistoric animals seed worlds, because I'd like to make a seed world where some of these creatures are seeded, and it'll sorta like Serina but in a seed world of a seed world. Btw only seed world with prehistoric animals only because this fandom is about prehistoric animals.

On the speculation Island the savannah is extensive and actually the third largest biome, behind the temperate forest and the tundra. The fauna here has very intriguing, so let's get into it!
CARNIVORES
Abelisaurs are, without a doubt, the most widespread carnivores in the savannah. Kurupi is a good example of this, being found all over the savannah. The key to the Abelisaurs success is probably their strong parental instincts and their large frontal lobes that keep them from making stupid choices.
Carcharodontosaurus is the apex predator here no questions asked. It's rapid bites with its bleed inducing teeth allow it to hunt it's prey, Shantungosaurus.
HERBIVORES
The ceratopsian Titanoceratops is quite successful here, alongside its close relative Pentaceratops.
Advanced Sauropod diversity is pretty slim, with the only two advanced species here being Lingwulong and Lapparentosaurus. Primitive sauropods are, on the other hand, incredibly widespread and diverse in the savannah. Camelotia is quite the fine example of this. Prosauropods exist here through Kholumolumo.
Therizinosaurs live here through Suzhousaurus and Paralitherizinosaurus. These animals use their claws to pull down plants and to fight off rivals and predators.
OMNIVORES
Beishanlong and Beibeilong are two animals very similiar in niche to one another, which usually puts them into competition over resources.
PISCIVORES
Suchomimus and Spinosaurus are the native Piscivores here. Spinosaurus, while usually a solely piscivorous, does like to eat some corpses every so often. It uses eye spots on Its sail to scare off the predator that originally killed the prey.
PTEROSAURS
Pterosaur diversity here is... quite slim. There are only 4 species of native pterosaurs here. These are Guidraco, Phosphatodraco, Zhenyuanopterus and the giant Arambourgiania. Much like the Spino, Arambourgiania has eye-spots On its body (In this case, the wings) To scare competition away from a corpse.
OTHER
Two Loricatans, Prestosuchus and the highly adaptable Fasolasuchus make their home here.
Whilst there is many crocodilians in the savannah the largest and without a doubt most dangerous of them all is Sarcosuchus.
Plesiosuchus, a marine croc, lives here and hunts fish and small-midsized creatures.
Three Allokotosaurs, Shringasaurus, Pamelaria and the termite specialist Teraterpeton call the savannah home.
Two Temnospondyls, Anaschisma and Aphaneramma live here.
Smilosuchus lives here.
Poposaurus and Ctenosauricus live here.
(I spent an hour on this, please help me.)

While my series speculations is meant to be you know, speculative, some things go straight to the pit of inaccuracy. Here is the dreaded list so far:
Theri's claws are at least strong enough to pull down branches.
Fasola's the same size as Allo, it was much smaller in reality.
Hatz can kill most small-midsized dino's on the island.
Sarco is slightly larger than Deino.
These are the ones I have so far, might add more later. Also got a speculation for yall:
-Troodontids were the only non-avian dino's capable of intelligent pack-hunting behavior.
