LATE CRETACEOUS LARAMIDIA
SITE ECHO
ENVIRONMENT
Site Echo is a vast, ancient forest criss-crossed by streams and dotted by great lakes. Food is in abundance here, and warm temperatures combined with abundant water provide the perfect environment for a thriving ecosystem of prehistoric animals.
Based on the numerous formations dotted along the West Coast of North America, this Site is home to some of the most famous genera of dinosaurs, and some of the last species that walked the earth before the extinction event that wiped them out.
NOTE TO RESEARCHERS
The wealth of fossils from the Western side of North America has allowed us to recreate a number of animals in exquisite detail. From giant hadrosaurs, to aquatic giants and ferocious land predators, here you will find a complex chain of interactions.
SEASONAL VARIATION
Site Delta is warm and receives plenty of rain year-round. Water scarcity is rare, but the distinct seasons still have a notice 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 for the majority of species.
An overabundance of water often leads to flooding.
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.
The dry season is when most species, particularly herbivores, court and nest.
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.
MIGRATION ROUTE
This route is the one most commonly taken by Parasaurolophus and Lambeosaurus herds. Solitary individuals will use this intuitive knowledge to find others of their species.
