Pleasing Tourists

"The Ouranosaurus has a natural friend in the Edmontosaurus, so for fun lovers it makes perfect sense to match these playmates together. You should have an entertaining pen for years if those are the only two species present. Watch out for dino nerds, though. They'll be upset seeing the two together, since Ouranosaurus lived during the early Cretaceous period and Edmontosaurus existed at the end of that era. For the sake of dino nerds' sanity, Ouranosaurus should be placed in a pen with same-era dinosaurs, the Acrocanthosaurus, Carcharadontosaurus, and Spinosaurus. This will also please the thrill seekers, as all three are large carnivores that will quickly prey on the slow, juicy Ouranosaurus meals."

Sexual Dimorphism

There's no signs of Sexual Dimorphism throughout the game development for Ouranosaurus.

Although, thanks to Jane Powers' Announcement audio, as she calls the Ouranosaurus by "her", it's clear that the final game design of Ouranosaurus is intended to represent a Female.

Trivia

  • Ouranosaurus is the only herbivore found in Chenini.

  • It's the only Iguanodontid of the game.

  • It's likely that its original companion would've been Iguanodon, another species of Iguanodontid, that was sadly cut, to replace it, Edmontosaurus was used instead.

  • Real world counterpart of Ouranosaurus was much smaller than the one seen in-game.

  • Although hard to be seen in-game, Ouranosaurus has green eyes in the Concept Art.

  • Ouranosaurus is one of the very few dinosaurs that we never got to see early designs or differences throughout development.

  • Despite not being a famous dinosaur, or one that came from the movies, Ouranosaurus has more audio files than certain movie species, such as the icon of the franchise: Tyrannosaurus.
