Jurassic World Evolution 2 Creature Showcase 3 (Pteranodon)
3Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to another one of my JWE2 Creature Showcase with this video being the third added to the showcase list of every species from Jurassic World Evolution 2 and in the third instalment, I give all to you the Pteranodon,
Pteranodon is a genus of flying reptile in the Jurassic World Evolution series. Originated from Late Cretaceous North America and by far the most famous pterosaur, Pteranodon is unique among all species in Evolution, being bred and released in the Aviary, rather than a normal enclosure.
Pteranodon were recreated by InGen on Isla Sorna, intending to exhibit them at the Jurassic Park Aviary prior to the 1993 incident. Following the incident, Sorna's Pteranodon population was mostly confined to the Isla Sorna Aviary but some were known to have escaped into the surrounding landscape at some point prior to 2001, In 2001, during the Isla Sorna Rescue Mission, Eric Kirby, Alan Grant, and others would encounter Sorna's aviary and be attacked by its Pteranodon inhabitants. During the attack, the main gate to the aviary was left unlocked, leading to the escape of many Pteranodon, These escaped Pteranodon would later be captured by the InGen Security Division headed by Masrani Global.
Between the opening of Jurassic World and until 2015, numerous Pteranodon were exhibited in the Jurassic World Aviary alongside the Dimorphodon. The Aviary would later be compromised during the 2015 Isla Nublar Incident by the rampaging Indominus rex, allowing the pterosaur population to escape and attack the park guests, After the abandonment of Nublar and prior to the eruption of Mt. Sibo, the now wild Pteranodon population roamed the island undisturbed.
In 2018, with the eruption of Mt. Sibo, many Pteranodon were captured and taken to the Lockwood Manor in California. Maisie Lockwood would later release them into the wild; where they quickly traveled across North America, going as far as Las Vegas within the year.
A year after the events at Lockwood Manor, a Pteranodon was recorded catching a wedding dove.
Four years after the events at Lockwood Manor, several Pteranodon were taken to a sanctuary created by BioSyn while others were seen migrating alongside modern birds and other pterosaurs.
One of the largest pterosaurs ever to have existed with a wingspan stretching up to over seven meters, Pteranodon is a genus of Late Cretaceous pterosaur easily recognizable thanks to the crest on the top of its skull, which it uses for display purposes. Although its diet consists largely of fish, Pteranodon does not have teeth, chewing its prey with its beak – in fact, its name is derived from Greek meaning "Toothless Wing". These pterosaurs are extremely light and delicate in order to be able to fly. It is likely that Pteranodon was a coastal animal that roosted offshore, out of reach of predators. Their toothless jaws with a pouch of skin could hold fish, like modern pelicans, and the crest that could have acted as a counterbalance when skimming the water's surface. The base cosmetic genome of the Pteranodon has a dark brown base with creamy yellow countershading along the body and the wings. They are enclosed exclusively in aviaries, and each aviary can exhibit up to six individuals. There are multiple viewing points where guests can observe the animals up-close.

“I still have trouble believing airplanes can fly, so don't get me started on this Pteranodon. But fly it does. Oh, and it is also known as a 'toothless wing'. Toothless, huh? Yeah, I'm not buying that either.”
