Piscivore Pack - 3 Piscivores
Irritator - Irritator is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived in what is now Brazil during the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous Period, about 110 million years ago. It is known from a nearly complete skull found in the Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin. The Irritator fed on Fish, making it a piscivore.
Megaraptor - Megaraptor is a genus of large theropod dinosaur that lived in the Turonian to Coniacian ages of the Late Cretaceous. Its fossils have been discovered in the Patagonian Portezuelo Formation of Argentina. The Megaraptor stood at about 25 feet tall, they were nearly three times the size of Velociraptors. The Megaraptor fed on fish.
For the final option, Iβve reached a roadblock
-
Oxalaia is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur that lived in what is now the Northeast Region of Brazil during the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous period, sometime between 100.5 and 93.9 million years ago. The Oxalaia was about 40 inches long. The Oxalaia is similar to the Spinosaurus and it fed in fish.

Liaoningosaurus - Liaoningosaurus is an unusual genus of ankylosaurian dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous period of China. It contains a single species, Liaoningosaurus paradoxus, and is represented by two fossil specimens collected from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province. It stood at about 1ft 1 inch tall. It also fed in fish.

... keep reading on reddit β‘Can anyone confirm if I can put piscivores like Baryonyx in the same pen as medium/large herbivores (I'm thinking amargosaurus, which doesn't explicitly dislike carnivores) without off the chart discomfort or killing each other?
So far all I've found by trying to search on my own are Spinosaurus, Suchomimus, Masiakasaurus, and possibly Lioningosaurus.
I feel like there's GOT to be more than that, anyone else know any more?
I thought I had read that with the new fish feeders, piscivores would prefer fish over hunting. So I made a baryonyx, iguanadon and polocanthus exhibit figuring the Baryβs would just fish and leave everyone alone. A couple minutes later and they square off against the iguanadons, killing 3....
Was this because they βfoughtβ vs. hunting? Iβm wondering if Iβd still be safe putting ouranosaurus together with a suchimimus or is that would just be a bloodbath.
Thanks for any tips!
Seems odd to have an entirely new feeder type just for three dinosaurs. Maybe we'll get more. Sigilmassasaurus? Ostafrikasaurus? Pelicanimimus?
As the next DLC will most likely be the 1993 DLC, and after that it might be a herbivore pack. Does anyone think that we may get a piscivore Dinosaur pack?
Hey all. Thinking back to Jurassic World, I think it is quite unique that Metriachantosaurus, Suchomimus and Baryonyx were able to share an exhibit with herbivores. So here's a rework I propose, hopefully nothing too complicated. People on the sub seem to want the inclusion of a fish feeder for the piscivorous species of dinosaurs. With this in mind, should the fish feeder make it into the game, I think some dinosaur behaviours should be reworked, namely Metriachantosaurus, Baryonyx and Suchomimus. They will mostly ignore larger herbivores, with a slightly toned down aggression level, and prefer to feed on fish from water bodies. Of course, they will still hunt smaller herbivores and engage large carnivores for territory. Additionally this could also apply to scavengers, perhaps the Ceratosaurus. These dinosaurs would prefer the basic meat feeder as opposed to attempting to hunt armored and medium sized herbivores, very much akin in behavior to piscivores. I think this allows a special niche of "medium sized specialty" dinosaurs, who prefer to avoid dangerous prey and only fight with larger carnivores for territory. What do you guys think?
Everyone thinks Spinosaurus is a weakling due to being an aquatic fish-eater, but:
-pretty much every aquatic apex predator (except maybe leopard seals) is a piscivore to the core. Crocodiles are normally seen hunting land animals but in all aquatic crocodilians over 90 percent of their diet is fish, even for the adults.
-Fish are no more weak than anything else. If you can eat a fish of a certain size, you can eat any animal of a certain size. Every living piscivore bears this out. Harbor seals are known to eat ducks, crocodiles are known to eat wildebeest, great white sharks eat cetaceans and pinnipeds, herons eat birds and small mammals, well catfish beach themselves to get pigeons, etc. Even some of the thin-jawed crocodilians will take terrestrial prey, including humans.
-when the fish you are eating weigh 3 tons (which is reasonable since Spinosaurus weighed 7 tons at the conservative estimates), that qualifies as big-game hunting. You don't call a mosasaur weak for eating a big shark, so why do people call Spinosaurus weak for doing the same thing?
TL;DR: being a swimming fish-eater does not make you weak. At all. Neither does it mean you cannot hunt terrestrial or non-fish prey.
Finally:
If you consider Spinosaurus weak and unimpressive for its piscivory, by extension you have to consider the green anaconda, Titanoboa, Basilosaurus, Livyatan, the great white shark, C. megalodon, the orca, Deinosuchus, the saltwater crocodile, the alligator snapping turtle, the giant otter, Dunkleosteus, Tylosaurus, Mosasaurus, Pliosaurus, Dakosaurus, the colossal squid and every other large aquatic carnivore weak and unimpressive.
Hi all,
I'm opening this discussion because I recently heard about paleontologists stating that the prehistoric unicorn was a fish-eater. This struck me as odd for several reasons which I'll get into down below.
So for starters, I'm a Spinosaur expert. I know a thing or two about fish-eaters. However, we know that the Ceratosaurus was, in fact, not a Spinosaur. If anything, it was more closely related to the Dilophosaurus. As well as this, Ceratosaurus had a broad head with flesh-tearing teeth that didn't interlock like we would see on fish specialists even today. Had it been a fish eater, it would have at least had a narrower snout. I can see where this thing may have lived in swamps like some of the articles say, but I really can't imagine the unicorn hunting fish as a large part of its diet. I think that the Ceratosaurus would have much more success hunting in packs or at night. With its slender profile and large eyes, it would have been a real threat to anything that dares to venture into the darkness. This is completely hypothetical on my part, so even if it isn't true I think a scavenger lifestyle would work better for a predator of it's style.
TL;DR, No. I don't think it was unless it absolutely had to. I'm sure there are many more qualified people to give their opinion, so please do! I'd be happy to hear an expert on the subject. Thanks!
