📋 About This Mod
Zhenyuanopterus longirostris
(NEW SPECIES)
This mod adds a new species to the game: Zhenyuanopterus longirostris, a genus of boreopterid pterosaur which is known from Lower Cretaceous (early Aptian stage) Yixian Formation of Liaoning, China. Typical of the Boreopteridae, it had a long snout filled with needle-like teeth, which are longest at the front of the mouth. These are quite vibrant, territorial animals, and will grow and even attack other animals if feel threatened. InGen's clones of Zhenyuanopterus display an unknown dangerous bacteria on their mouths, that can cause serious infection if bit by this animal.
This is a "New Species" mod, this means that it doesn't repleace any creatures from your game, it adds a whole new one!
DISCLAIMER:
If you open the species on the species viewer, please restart the game before loading any saves. If you don't do this, the game will most likely break. This is a common bug with New Species sadly.
New Species for now are highly experimental, and they may have bugs or issues that can't be fixed, or that will take some time to do so. This one is safe to use, but some animations when it fights and is hunted don't work properly, so take that in mind when taking screenshots or making any type of video or content with it. If they can be fixed in the future, they will be fixed.
