The Concavenator is quite literally a 'hunter with a hump'. So please, please, please keep it sweet... 'cause I really don't wanna have to flee from this Spanish predator.

Concavenator is a genus of carcharodontosaurid dinosaur in Jurassic World Evolution 2. Originating from Early Cretaceous Europe and named after the distinguishing hump on its back, it is included in the Cretaceous Predator Pack.

Characteristics[]

Notable for the large crest on its back, Concavenator is a carnivorous and extremely agile theropod that dates back around 130 million years during the Early Cretaceous period and was originally discovered in Spain. Measuring 6 meters in length, over 2 tons in weight, and with a long tail for maintaining balance, its name means "Cuenca hunter with a hump", stemming from the tall, pronounced, narrow, triangular shaped hump-like crest above its hips, which makes its profile instantly recognizable, as well as a city close to where it was first discovered. Experts believe the crest may be used to regulate temperature or act as a display for attracting a mate.

Behavior[]

Paleontology[]

A medium-sized carcharodontosaurid measuring at most 6 m (20 ft) long and weighing between 318 and 409 kg (700 and 900 lb), this genus was first discovered in La HuĆ©rguina Formation, Spain by paleontologists JosĆ© Luis Sanz, Francisco Ortega and Fernando Escaso, and was formally named Concavenator in 2010 ā€“ the name translates to "Cuenca hunter with a hump" referring to the location of its discovery and its most striking feature.

Paleoecology[]

Concavenator lived in the wet, woodland areas of Spain and western Europe during the Early Cretaceous period - 130 to 125 million years ago - and fed on smaller theropods and mammals, using its serrated teeth to tear through the flesh of its prey. It shared its habitat with a wide range of dinosaurs including troodont Euronychodon, dubious dromaeosaur Richardoestesia, and ornithomimosaur Pelecanimimus.
