With the release of Jurassic World Evolution 2, fans of the epic cinematic franchise have the opportunity to build and manage their very own Jurassic Park that showcases a cast of genetically-engineered dinosaurs. However, being the manager of such a colossal theme park does not come easy, as owners are expected to attract visitors to keep the lights on and the bills paid. So, players will have to wrangle their way through the listed dinos to keep everyone happy.

With that said, these additions may come with a steep learning curve that beginner players may find overwhelming. So, to make it easier to keep track of things, here are all the dinosaurs that can be collected.
