The mod you are downloading currently features:
New Species Coding - Boost your basegame roster with this additional animal!
Full Species Database - Genuine and well-developed information goes into perfectly fulfilling animal knowledge in the Database.
New Digsite - Can you dig it? Adds a new digsite specifically for this animal.
Dinosaur Exchange - Purchase this animal off of markets, whether it be it's genes, eggs, or the actual creature itself, but watch out for unreliable info and unknown sellers!
