MORRISON FORMATION
SITE BRAVO
ENVIRONMENT
Site Bravo is a hot and semi arid land, ancient forests of pine and gingko opening up to reveal vast dry fern grasslands. Food is hard to come by, and water even more so, with the dry season proving to be a fatal challenge to all but the strongest of individuals.
Based on the famous Morrison formation, Site Bravo is home to many famous and well known dinosaurs like Allosaurus and Stegosaurus, and many more. A land of giants, this era was one of the first shows that the dinosaurs put up for Earth's history.

NOTE TO RESEARCHERS
The Morrison formation is known for its semiarid environment, with thin rivers running throughout the forest during the wet season, only to wither away in the dry season. Unlike desert animals that are well adapted to such dry conditions, the inhabitants here must really struggle and fight for their resources.
SEASONAL VARIATION
Site Bravo is warm and receives plenty of rain year-round. Water scarcity is rare, but the distinct seasons still have a noticeable impact on dinosaur behaviour.
THE WET SEASON
THE DRY SEASON
The wet season is a period marked by higher temperatures and a greater volume of rainfall.
It is the more difficult of the two seasons.
An overabundance of water often leads to flooding. The lower altitude plains get engulfed in rainwater, which brings more plant life and cyanobacterial growth by the end of the season.
The dry season is marked by cooler temperatures, though still well-within the comfortable range.
Despite being drier it still sees plenty of rainfall, which supports a variety of lush plant life.
MAP OF THE SITE
Our research team has compiled a detailed map of the Site and areas of animal behaviour for your use! Please note that we are currently working off a smaller area of the wider Site due to a lower population of dinosaurs.
The greyed-out area is where you are not supposed to be. Use your the mini-map on the corner of your screen (if enabled) or the larger map accessed by pressing the 'M' key to identify where the 'playable area' is.
Be aware that the populated area may change as we learn more about dinosaur populations and their needs.
DIPLODOCUS COURTING GROUNDS
Area used by Diplodocus for courting, eroded from generations of pacing males.
SAUROPOD PATHS
Corridors wide enough for large sauropods to move through.
CHANGES TO SOIL AND FOLIAGE
New clearings made and maintained by sauropods, slowly being expanded until one day they become grasslands.
SEASONAL FLOODPLAINS
More resources are found during the wet season.
