As many Jurassic Park fans enjoy building the world-famous parks from the ground up and more with Jurassic World Evolution 2, they may be planning ahead on what venture to invest in next. As players manage the parks, they need to keep track of their money carefully in order to make sure they can afford their next Research Node to get one step closer to their dream park. For many players, that involves unlocking Mosasaurus, the biggest marine reptile in the game.
Mosasaurus appeared in Jurassic World in an iconic feeding show scene and grand finale many fans never forgot. When it came to Jurassic World Evolution 2's reveal, many fans clamored for Mosasaurus to get added after its absence in the first title. Now that those fans have gotten their wish, this guide can help them unlock Mosasaurus in the quickest way possible.

It may seem daunting, but the quickest way to get Mosasaurus in this new Jurassic Park game is to play Challenge mode, as one of the first things players unlock is the Science Center. Unlike Chaos Theory mode, Challenge mode offers marine and flying reptiles from the start, as long as certain requirements are met first. The requirements are fairly straightforward, as players only need to raise their parks' rating to two stars (2.0 Stars.)
