The DFW+Dinosaurs

We want this to be an interactive blog so please, feel free to ask questions about anything! I will happily answer any and all questions!

Her name is Iris, I decided the moment I watched her. She's this gorgeous brown Maiasaura standing at the water's edge, and every few seconds her head swivels, scanning the tree line with such focus and purpose. She's not eating. She's not resting. She's watching. Because splashing in the shallow water in front of her is her baby, this tiny brown mirror image of her mother that I've named Fawn. And oh my god, you guys, Fawn is playing. Stomping her little feet in the water, sending up splashes that catch the falling snow, completely carefree because she knows, she knows, that her mama has her back.

I must have taken fifty photos of them, but I keep coming back to this one. Iris standing guard, snowflakes catching on her back, while Fawn discovers the joy of cold water on a winter day. This is what people don't understand about dinosaurs. They're not monsters. They're not Hollywood nightmares. They're mothers protecting their babies. They're families staying close in harsh conditions. They're real, and they feel things, and they care for each other the way any animal does. The rest of the herd is nearby, I can see their shapes moving between the trees, and they're all staying together, looking out for one another.

She was standing there like a monument—this massive, beautiful Dreadnoughtus just... watching me. I've named her Sage, because the moment our eyes met, I felt this overwhelming sense of calm wisdom radiating from her. Her coloring is unlike anything I've seen before: pale grey-blue, almost ethereal against the snow, with these darker dappled patterns across her body like someone painted her with storm clouds. She didn't move, didn't startle. She just looked at me with those ancient eyes, and I swear I felt my heart crack open a little. This girl has been out here alone, surviving on an abandoned island, and she's still so gentle. So trusting.

I raised my camera slowly, not wanting to spook her, and she let me. She just stood there in the falling snow, framed by the dark trees behind her, and let me see her. Let me document her. Gavin's going to love sketching her later—there's something almost mythical about her presence. But beneath that majesty, I can already see she needs help. Her body condition isn't terrible, but resources here are limited, and winter is only getting harsher. She deserves better than struggling to survive on her own.

That's why we're here. That's why this mission matters. Sage and the others on this island aren't just relics or monsters—they're living, breathing animals who need us. And I promise you, we're going to make sure every single one of them gets the care they deserve. Starting with this gorgeous girl right here.

I didn’t say it was a promotion-

Tomato Potato. I’ll be posting more pictures of our lovely dinosaurs and answering asks again soon!

Oh, and Cabot Finch is now available to answer asks!

Joyous day.

I don’t think anyone was very happy about those suggestions. Owen nearly jumped across the table. Even Masrani, who is normally so calm, was fuming! We take very good care of our dinosaurs, the idea of putting them directly in attraction is harmful to them and the guests. Not to mention ethically and morally wrong. I remember quite well. It’s nice hearing from you again, Luis.

Also, are you at all concerned about the appearance of dinosaurs that weren't at the parks?

Yes and no. Some dinosaurs do eat modern day flora, such as Brachiosaurus and other sauropods. They eat leaves off of trees, much like giraffes do. Ferns have been used to feed the other herbivores. Modern ferns have been used, however we have revived prehistoric ferns!

Stay safe out there, dinosaur enthusiasts!

Hi all, Lucy here. I know I haven’t been very active, I know I haven’t kept up on photography and asks. It’s been very busy at the park, and a few incidents have occurred.

For starters, the entire facility has been relocated due to an ongoing issue with security. Regarding this, every hybrid we hold has been removed and taken to a government facility. Yes, this includes our two most well known hybrids: Baba and Trixie. I am no longer allowed to speak about them, their location, or anything regarding their well-being. I will no longer be taking asks about the indoraptors, as Cabot has made it very clear I have crossed some boundaries and gotten myself in a lot of trouble.

He says it’s my fault we had to move. It’s all my fault.

The second incident was another reason why we had to move, regarding security. One night we had a break in, and some poachers, some very skilled men, tried to take a few dinosaurs. In the chaos, the carnotosaurus enclosure was opened. If anyone has been here for a long time, you know Conquest and the other carnos are my babies. Uriel and Fenrir were taken, and unfortunately I lost Conquest…he passed before I could reach them. Gavin couldn’t get there in time to stop them. They got away with the carnos and a few of the herbivores from the mixed paddock.

The third incident is regarding my health. I suffered a horrific injury during the moving process. I slipped several discs in my back, on top of that I have severe nerve damage in my spine. Basically, sometimes my legs just don’t work.

Please, be patient. I’m trying my best.

I'm seeing lots of odd hybrids in my neck of the woods that make no... logical sense in why they were made, looks like they were just made for the sake of looking interesting.

I'll get back to you on others ive seen, but i mostly see the Green one the most....i like her.

Doctor Jackson? Quite a surprise, Wu has mentioned your name once or twice. Nice to hear from you. I’ve spoken to Cabot, and we have a section set aside for aggressive species. We can take it off your hands and make sure it gets proper care, without doing any harm to it or any of our residents.

i hope not.

I don’t believe so. With hybrids being banned, and the recreation of dinosaurs being heavily restricted, with the idea becoming a large taboo I highly doubt it.

I hope not. But sometimes Glimmer gives me a look that makes me wonder…how many of them are out there?

That would explain the indoraptors and the audio I recorded…

Dr Wu? I have not heard that name before. I mentioned it to Cabot and he went quiet, he won’t talk to me.
