Pleasing Tourists
"Torosaurus is from the ever-popular late Cretaceous time period. With more than half the Jurassic Park dinosaurs from that era, you usually won't go wrong when you mix and match dinosaurs. For fun lovers, try Corythosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Gallimimus, and the especially friendly Triceratops. Thrill seekers won't complain if you place a Torosaurus with an Albertosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, or Velociraptor. Dino nerds just want to see historic authenticity, so any of the above dinosaurs work, as well as Ankylosaurus, Homalocephale, and Pachycephalosaurus."

Sexual Dimorphism
Torosaurus, despite not having any specific sex mentioned in-game, did have an early design with a shade of Blue and Yellow patterns on the frill, quite different from the final version's design, if that is a potential Sexual Dimorphism, we may never know, but it's an interesting possibility.
Audio Files
