Yeah, i think there should be the option of having male or female dinos so they can breed. that way you wouldn't have to constantly make new dinos. also, if you wanted all dinos in your park to be female like in the movies, you could (coz in the game your the MANAGER, so why don't you pick what gender your dinos are). Also it would be interesting to see the differences between male and female dinos (behaviour + colours etc). I also think the islands should be bigger, or you should be abe to buy more islands coz theres not enough room 4 big open safaris.

Which reminds me. If they decide to stick with the "all dinos being female" bit, they need a new Parasaurolophus model. If I remember correctly, it's believed that only the males had the straight crest, while the females' crests curved under...or something.

you guys always talk about having underwater dinos and stuff but how could the mosquito suck blood from them especially megladon wich lived in deep sea and had the mouth to swallow whales, live in a park

Marine reptiles is possible for fossils of bone, but the Megalodon is more of the impossible cause cartilage can't be fossilized unless the things frozen or something else.

Megalodon wasn't that big. It preyed on whales, yes, but it didn't swallow them whole. Not to mention whales during the early Cenozoic when Megalodon lived were significantly smaller than, say, our modern blue and humpback whales (this was in the early days of whale evolution, when they were really still taking shape).<br /><br />Besides, in Operation Genesis it doesn't matter if mosquitoes bit the animals or not. Amber-encased insects are rare (and if you ask me, useless unless you sell them) in the game, and most of the DNA you get comes directly from the fossils of the actual animal.

Also behaviour like the torosaurus 'fighting' each other, and the pachycephalosaurus head-butting each other, should only be 4 males.

i would like to see genders being introduced aswell, cos then you would have to pick the right amout of the domonating s**, like if you had a group of female raptors then added two male raptors they would fight to clame the females. and different skins would be a good idea for the sexes, i wouldnt mind having a skinning program installed into the game so that you could customize your dinosaurs.
