DINODEX // Jurassic World Evolution 3 Full Dino Guide

Steam Community guide by Kitxunei.

Intro

Welcome to the Dinodex, a complete guide to all dinosaurs and other animals in the game! This is a followup to my previous guide for JWE2. This guide provides information on each dinosaur's likes/dislikes, environmental needs, and more to help you build your dream sandbox park (or help you get through the challenge missions)!
All categories are divided into different chapters you can click on to the right -->

Males, Females, and Juvenile Dinos (NEW to Jurassic World Evolution 3):

• Dinosaurs are now divided into Adults and Juveniles, as well as Males and Females.
• Minimum required population is now lower for most dinosaurs than it was in JWE2, probably to make room for Juveniles. Base Appeal is also lower now for some dinosaurs. This might be because you can have lots of Juveniles, which quickly raise appeal.
• Some Juveniles have environmental needs that are different from their Adult counterparts. For example, some Juveniles need more Cover than their parents, or a different type of food. This will be detailed in the guide below. If there is nothing specified for Juveniles, their needs are about the same as the Adult's.
• "Naturally Bred" Bonus: Dinos that were naturally bred in your park have higher appeal than dinos synthesized from a lab.
• "Thriving Childhood" Bonus: Having a good childhood raises a dino's appeal even further when it becomes an adult. This means you kept the Juvenile's Comfort level around 100% for as long as possible. If you didn't manage to keep it Thriving, you can still get "Comfortable Childhood" for a lower bonus.

Environment Needs

• ALL species need Cover and Water. Their other specific needs are listed in the guide below.
• Some Environments have been renamed in JWE3, but they are the same (Forest -> Cover, Rock -> Barren, Sand -> Arid).
• The Humble trait reduces an animal's Environmental Needs by 66%. This makes them vastly less picky about their enclosures. I believe this is one of the most useful traits in the game.

NEW Species Introduced in JWE3:

• Ornithomimus
• Lokiceratops
• Protoceratops
• Psittacosaurus
• Patagotitan
• Guanlong
  Some dinos from JWE2 are not available in JWE3. We are slowly gettiing them added to JWE3 in FREE updates. Conversely, some of the DLC species from JWE2 are now included in the base game of JWE3, such as Deinocheirus.

Ornithomimids

Ornithomimids are gentle, bipedal (2-legged), bird-like dinosaurs. While these animals were likely omnivorous in real life, they are all herbivores in Jurassic World, except for the Deinocheirus.
Their most common Traits are Resilient, Social, Fit, and Humble. Males and females have different stripe patterns, while their body shapes are the same. Male ornithomimus and deinocheirus have very bright feathers compared to their female counterparts (as most birds do).
There are 6 total species of ornithomimids in the game:

Deinocheirus

864 2+, with at least 1 Male Sauropods, Hadrosaurs Large Carnivores, Medium Carnivores, Therizino, Hybrid Carnivores Wetland, Ground Leaf, and Fish Feeder 5

Cohab Tips:

Except for the Deinocheirus, Ornithomimids are very easy to cohab with other herbivores, as they like all herbivores except for Pachycephalosaurids. While their appeal is very low, you can easily spam multiples of them into your herd.
The Deinocheirus is the largest Ornithomimid ever discovered and is the black sheep of this family, with a whopping 864 Base Appeal. Similar to hadrosaurs, it requires a lot of water in its enclosure. It used to have a security rating of 3, but it's now been bumped up to 5, and requires at least one male in its group.

Pachycephalosaurids

Pachycephalosaurids are 2-legged herbivores with hard, thick skulls. They sometimes skirmish with each other and sustain concussions or other injuries.
Their most common Traits are Tolerant and Defensive. Males and females have different patterns. The male Stygimoloch has longer horns than the female.
There are 5 species of pachys in the game:

[*W] Requires the Wetlands DLC Pack.

Cohab Tips:

This group is very straightforward, and they are neutral toward Ornithomimids, Hadrosaurs, and Ceratopsids -- except for the new Hypsilohphodon, which likes Hadrosaurs and Ceratopsids. Therefore, you can sprinkle them into almost any herd of herbivores, just keep an eye on their Cohabitation meters. Because these are all Small Herbivores with low appeal, I honestly don't find them worth it (not that they aren't cool!).

Hadrosaurids

Hadrosaurs are "duck-billed" dinosaurs that can stand on 2 or 4 legs. They are gentle and practically never attack your ranger teams or tour rides. They often come with the Social and Tolerant traits and require a good amount of water. Males have larger and more colorful crests.
There are 8 hadrosaur species in the game:

Cohab Tips:

Hadrosaurs are a great addition to your herbivore herds, as they get along with all other types of herbivores. The Parasaurolophus and Maiasaura are the only Hadrosaurs that Like each other within their group, so they make a good pair to house together.
Ouranosaurus is not available in JWE3.

Ceratopsids

Ceratopsids are 4-legged/quadrupedal dinosaurs with horns and large, bony crests. These dinos can occasionally be aggressive towards park rangers, fences, or each other. Many of them come with the Social, Aggressive, or Defensive traits. For most Ceratopsids, the males have much larger horns and frills than the females.
There are a total of 9 ceratopsid species in the game:

The Spinoceratops is included in my Hybrids section.
[*DLX] Requires the Deluxe Upgrade Pack.

Cohab Tips:

Ceratopsids like all other herbivores, except for Sauropods (Neutral) and Stegosaurids (Dislike). They can even pair up with certain other Ceratopsids!
The Torosaurus, Pentaceratops, and Pachyrhinosaurus from JWE2 are not yet available in JWE3.

Stegosaurids

Stegosaurids are herbivores with 2 short front legs and 2 longer hind legs, built for grazing on low plants while keeping their dangerous tails held high. They are thought to have some of the smallest brains of all dinosaurs, and sometimes come with the Short Lived trait. Males and females seem to look the same.

The Stegoceratops is included in my Hybrids section.

Cohab Tips:

ALL Stegosaurids Like Sauropods, Ornithomimids, Hadrosaurs, and Pachys -- but they all also Dislike Ceratopsids, Ankys, and most other Stegos. This makes them somewhat inconvenient to have in your park, because Ankys and Ceratopsids have higher average appeal than Stegos. Because they get along with Pachys, who are also picky, it can be worth it to keep them together. The only Stegos that can get along with each other are:

• Chungkingosaurus & Gigantspinosaurus
  The Huayangosaurus and Wuerhosaurus from JWE2 are not yet available in JWE3.

Ankylosaurids

Ankylosaurids are 4-legged herbivores covered in tough, bony plates called osteoderms. They come with the Defensive trait by default, but some are also Needy or Antisocial. Note that the Ankylosaurus has a security level of 6, so it can break through everything but the invisible fence.
There are 3 types of ankylosaurs in this game:

Cohab Tips:

Ankylosaurids are very straightforward and welcome addition to any herbivore herd, as long as you keep them away from Stegosaurids and other Ankylosaurids.
The Minmi, Polacanthus, Crichtonsaurus, Euoplocephalus from JWE2 are not yet available in JWE3.

Sauropods

Sauropods are the largest land animals to ever walk our planet. These enormous, regal dinos require a lot of food and space to feel comfortable, but luckily, their minimum populations are low. Their major downside is the sheer amount of space and tall food sources they require, so a large enclosure is a must. Sauropods tend to have Humble, Tolerant traits.
Male and female sauropods seem to look the same, except for the Patagotitan and Amargasaurus, in which males have longer spikes and are more colorful.
Juvenile sauropods cannot eat tall plants. You must add ground plants to the environment for them to eat.
There are 7 sauropod species in the game:

The Ankylodocus is in my Hybrids section.
Juveniles of this group cannot eat any tall plants in the environment (Tall Leaf, etc.), so you must build the respective ground-level plants or they may starve to death.

Cohab Tips:

Sauropods have high appeal and get along with ALL herbivore families, except for most other Sauropods. The only Sauropods that can get along with each other are:

• Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus
• Ankylodocus (the Diplo/Anky Hybrid) can get along with ALL sauropods.
  The Amargasaurus, Camarasaurus, Nigersaurus, Alamosaurus from JWE2 are not yet available in JWE3.

Scavengers

Scavengers are small carnivores -- except Oviraptor, a small omnivore -- that can cohabitate with many other dinosaurs. Scavengers fill the ecological niche of picking up scraps of food left behind by larger animals, which helps keep the environment clean (though this has no effect in-game). Your large carnivores can have friends!
There are 4 scavengers in this game:

Moros Intrepidus

33 1+ Everything except Hybrid Carnivores Indominus Rex, Indoraptor, Scorpios Rex Arid, Pasture Meat 1

Cohab Tips:

If you put scavengers with Small Carnivores (such as Velociraptors), the scavengers will get eaten. Only Medium or Large Carnivores can coexist with them, with the exception of Hybrids, who will try to kill everything. Most herbivores can be safely kept with scavengers and will be neutral towards them.
NOTE: Scavengers can be skittish and get into PANICKING mode easily, which prevents them from eating/drinking and eventually leads to death. Having extra feeder stations, enough space, and keeping them away from tour rides can make them more comfortable.
The Sinosauropteryx from JWE2 is not yet available in JWE3.

Small Carnivores

These small carnivores are 2-legged/bipedal predators that evolved into modern-day birds. Many of them had feathers, though they could not yet fly. Despite their small size, these dinosaurs can be extremely deadly. Small carnivores can even exhibit pack hunting behaviors in this game!
The Dimetrodon is a unique animal. Not actually a dinosaur, it belongs to a group of ancient, reptile-like/mammal-like animals called synapsids. The Austroraptor is unique as it's the only raptor in this game that is a piscivore!
Many Small Carnivores come with the Intelligent trait, which makes them more likely to escape their enclosures even with 100% Comfort.
There are 12 small c
