Psittacosaurus

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 The colors, while outdated, look nice.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.

Some animals do Anting (rolling in ant hills to cover bodies in toxic stuff so that predators won’t like the taste in their mouth)

So do you think psittacosaurus and probably some other animals also do so? I think its likely.

The Florida Marine Market is one of many Illegal Markets in the world, this is an "independent" meaning they are only found in one location and do not have operations across the world. The Florida Marine Market is located in Southern Florida and is the largest dealer in prehistoric marine life. Although the market does not host official fights, clients are allowed to rent out water tanks to host fights.

Lets take a tour

Here is the view that people flying in will see.

The entrance

The market has also bred three Spinoraptors, which are named after famous living paleontologists Naish, Horner, and Paul

Oh and they have megalodon

In another tank is the massive shonisaurus

The only Pterosaur the market houses is Pteranodon sternbergi

Not all the animals at the market are predators, some are graceful animals, like the Archelon

The final marine animal is Dunkleosteus, that massive placoderm fish

In the middle of the Megalodon habitat is an island containing Australovenators, guests view them through a dome

Oh and they have spinosaurus

Because JWE2 does not have Psittacosaurus and Livyatan, I was unable to add them here, but in the series they will be present

Duckhunt's favorite dinosaurs

All images came from wikipedia. I'm too lazy to find who took the photos. Since these are animal bones I'll credit the animals themselves

5. Deinocheirus

Big Duck, so mesa likey

4. Psittacosaurus

Ever since I learned it may have been semi aquatic, I really started liking it, my favorite species is P.sibricus

This is not P.sibricus

3. Nanuqsaurus

Alaska, connect the dots yourself

2. Zuul, what can I say? I'm a Ghostbusters fan

1. Spinosaurus, it is my religion

Honorary mention of Gastric Brooding Frog

BOTM!!!

I also pre-ordered a tarbo, but it hasn't been released yet, can't wait to get it tho 😊

I was reading about some theory about how psittacosaurus could have been semi aquatic and I thought it would be cool to draw it, if you know what the status of this theory is currently please tell me
