While more than half of the Carnivores models are indeed atrocious, the game DOES take place on another planet, so any resemblances the native fauna have with Earth dinosaurs is purely convergent evolution. |

One of my biggest dreams is to at least make a spiritual continuation of the Carnivores series, keeping many of the inaccuracies that give it its charm. Like CI said above me, alien planet- FMM UV-32 is its name. |

Yeah nothing in the game was meant to be an exact replica. And I like that concept of divergent dinosaur evolution. Like ARK And if anybody complains about the carnivores 2 spinosaurus then prepare for a ranting haha |

Someone removed "Dinosauria" in a lot of bird taxoboxes, and I decided to register and add them back, only to be whined at by some BANDit. Perhaps this is a fail in general? EDIT: Turns out the "world taxonomy group" or whatever doesn't recognize them in their group which honestly makes no sense Edited by Fluffs, Nov 7 2015, 09:37 PM.

Here's a really funny one- for the longest time, I forgot that Mosasaurus hoffmanni lived in Europe. I thought it lived in North America.

Well, to be fair, given the synonymisation of Mosasaurus maximus INTO Mosasaurus hoffmannii, they DID exist in the US of A anyway. So it's not a bad error and you shouldn't feel bad. |

It's Texan. And like I said, it was since found to be a US representative of M. hoffmannii, so it doesn't really have much press under that name. You might have more luck with "Onion Creek Mosasaur". http://www.northtexasfossils.com/pdfs/OnionCreekMosasaur |

![]() I honestly can't tell if this is a troll or not, because Poe's Law and stuff. Either way, though, WTF is a "venendoaurus?" Edited by Trichechus, Nov 20 2015, 08:10 PM.

Something I'm guessing the guy made up, I'm unfamiliar with a "giraffe dino" (sauropod?) that spits venom. And any paleo-fan of course could tell you that "pterodactyl" doesn't refer to a single genus or species, nor is it a dinosaur. Meanwhile, even those who lack a basic knowledge of paleontology know that mammoths aren't in any way related to dinosaurs. Edited by CyborgIguana, Nov 20 2015, 08:27 PM.

I'm assuming its Venenosaurus, a Sauropod "named after the Poison Strip Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation" hence it being called "Poison Lizard" I have yet to find where this venom thing comes from, though it might just be from the name. |
