It lived with the ornithopod, Callovosaurus, the stegosaur, Lexovisaurus, several types of sauropods and pterosaurs, and a myriad of marine reptiles that inhabited the warm shallow seas of the region.Comfort threshold This is very important the higher the threshold, the lower the dinosaur can handle being uncomfortable before starting to break out and attack guests. Interestingly, it has a raised spine, suggesting it may have had a hump or ridge running down its back.Īlthough it was a medium-sized predator, Metriacanthosaurus was one of the top predators of the Oxford Clay along with species such as Eustreptospondylus. Metriacanthosaurus is a mysterious animal as its only known fossils are that of its spine and pelvis.
Metriacanthosaurus was officially renamed in 1964 and was given a new family, the Metriacanthosauridae, an off-shoot of the Allosaurids which also includes species such as the Yangchuanosaurus from China. Even Dilophosaurus was once considered a species of Megalosaurus until the 1940s. Many large carnivores were simply named new species of Megalosaurus. During the early days of paleontology, scientists studying dinosaurs had tended to sweep many fossils under a single genus without much thorough study. Metriacanthosaurus was one of the unfortunate victims of the Megalosaurus 'wastebasket' taxon. Metriacanthosaurus can, however, cohabitate reasonably well with small carnivores like Deinonychus. Metriacanthosaurus will engage against larger or similarly sized predators like Ceratosaurus or Suchomimus so it is recommended not to house them together. Overall, however, it is one of the more docile and easy to keep predators. Metriacanthosaurus has a high attack and a medium defense, so it is advised to contain them in strong fences. While its incubation cost is relatively high, it has a lower exhibit size requirement than Spinosaurus or Ceratosaurus and has a high resilience to illnesses compared to other larger carnivores. Metriacanthosaurus is a fearsome medium-sized predator that can live alone or in pairs. It has green stripes on its head and mouth as well as green crests. The Metriacanthosaurus has a brown body banded with darker brown stripes.
Īlthough Nublar's population of Metriacanthosaurus became wild after the 2015 Jurassic World Incident, over the course of the next three years, the species became extinct once more. After InGen was acquired by Masrani Global in 1999, the genome was completed and Metriacanthosaurus became an attraction in Jurassic World's Cretaceous Cruise. Metriacanthosaurus was one of the species which InGen had planned to feature at the original Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar 71% of its genome having been completed by 1993.
