** Many, including the devs, believe this is the reason so many people voted for ''Ankylosaurus'' as the new playable herbivore, as most commenters on Kickstarter thought the gameplay for ''Anatosaurus'' would have been more fun, but ''Ankylosaurus'' is a [[StockDinosaurs popular and well-known]] dinosaur that the majority of mainstream gamers are familiar with. It's worth pointing out though that playing as ''Anatosaurus'' would have involved migrating, which would have been a nightmare to program.

* StockDinosaurs: The game includes such familiar faces as ''Tyrannosaurus'', ''Pachycephalosaurus'', ''Edmontosaurus'' [[note]]referred to as ''Anatosaurus'' by the devs, due to ''E. annectens'' being different enough from ''E. regalis'' for the team to consider them separate genera[[/note]], ''Triceratops'', ''Ankylosaurus'', ''Ornithomimus'', the flying reptile ''Quetzalcoatlus'', and the sea lizard ''Mosasaurus'', but also a few more obscure genera.

Seldom Seen Species is no longer a trope.


* SeldomSeenSpecies:
** Confirmed creatures include ''Dakotaraptor'', ''Acheroraptor'', ''Champsosaurus'', ''Chamops'', ''Habrosaurus'', ''[[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Borealosuchus]]'', ''[[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Thoracosaurus]]'', ''[[TurtlePower Basilemys]]'', ''Didelphodon'', ''Denversaurus'', ''Avisaurus'', ''Thescelosaurus'', ''Palaeosaniwa'', ''Cimolopteryx'', ''Pectinodon'' [[note]]revealed in an issue of ''Prehistoric Times''[[/note]], ''Brodavis'', ''[[TurtlePower Toxochelys]]'', ''[[TurtlePower Axestemys]]'', ''Meniscoessus'', ''[[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Brachychampsa]]'', ''Anzu'', ''Casterolimulus'', ''Lonchidion'', ''Ophisthotriton'', ''Scapherpeton'', ''Palaeobatrachus'' [[note]]will be heard but not seen, due to their tiny size[[/note]], and ''Lepisosteus''.
** The featured species of ''Triceratops'' is ''T. prorsus'', as opposed to the more popular ''T. horridus''. Similarly, ''Quetzalcoatlus'' is the smaller ''Quetzalcoatlus lawsoni'' instead of the giant ''Quetzalcoatlus northropi''[[note]]contrary to popular belief, ''Q. northropi'' was not even native to the Hell Creek Formation, though admittedly its range was almost certainly not restricted to any one area due to its powerful flight abilities[[/note]].
** Animals cut from the game are ''Alamosaurus'', ''Leptoceratops'', ''Obamadon'', and ''Trierarchuncus''.

* NoNameGiven: A number of species have not been formally classified as of the game's release and are thus unnamed, including the ornithomimid (although that one has been nicknamed ''O. minutus''[[note]]It doesn't have any relationship to ''Ornithomimus''; it is based off remains initially assigned to ''Ornithomimus'' and has not yet been reclassified into a new genus[[/note]]) and a rail-like bird know simply as the "Bone Butte bird"/DePalma's ornithuran (in reference to the scientist who first described it in an overview of the game's Bone Butte site).
