How to learn about dinosaur species:
1. Go on this thread
2. Read the replies
3. BOOM BAM. You're a dino expert now.

I hope we get more Store Pets like these!

I'm confused, may I ask a question?

How did someone end up with a zebra? Was it supposed to be inttentional?

When you adopt horses, there is a very very small chance that one of your horses is a zebra.

Lillian omg why are you torturing those who can't afford the store pets you are the worst
Jk I love you, you are a very beautiful person

This is reality...

Really? -LE gasps-

No wonder why zebras are one of the rarest pets on cs XD

Obviously the dinos are taking the thread up, but I am here to say-

The eggs pattern makes me think of a turtle shell, I love chameleons but if a turtle pops out I'll scream. Unlikely, but the pattern...So shelly.

Wow, the new store pets are stunning!
I love the diabloceratops especially.
Now I'm off to find a way to obtain them, haha.

So fab.

100% best poem ever made

Lillian!!! You made my day with these Dinos. Ahh, I love them! My only wish is that there had been a bronty type, cause that's my favorite... Ever since the movie "baby" (old movie from early 80s). But my second fave (or a type of it anyway) is there (Cera), so I am very happy.

On the main page it asks can we guess what CS species they are modeled after. Well, the Cera has similarities in its pose to that of the lions, but other than that, I haven't a clue lol.

[RM Damika]

here are my guesses for the dinos, along with reasonings because im a huge fan of anything prehistoric lol c^:


some sort of ceratopsian. cant be triceratops because triceratops lacks any frill spikes.
it really reminds me of achelousaurus horneri but achelousaurus lacks any sort of facial horn other than the ones on the frill
the closest i can think of though is diabloceratops eatoni, but even then the dino above has frill horns that point backwards, not sideways like on diabloceratops, but its still my best guess
final verdict: diabloceratops


a pachycephalosaurid of some sort. at first glance it looks like dracorex hogwartsia or stygimoloch spinifer, but due to recent discoveries in paleontology, both the species mentioned above are juveniles of a bigger animal, which is most likely pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis.
final verdict: juvenile pachycephalosaurus


a dromaeosaur. we can rule out smaller 'raptors' or paravians such as microraptor zhaoianus due to the fact that those have 'wings' on their back legs, which the dinosaur above lacks, and also archaeopteryx lithographica, which is very small and lacks a toe claw
i think we could also rule out deinonychus antirrhopus and dakotaraptor steini, since those are known for having rather large toe claws meanwhile the mystery dinosaur seems to have a rather small one, but it could still be one of those two
a good guess of mine is dromaeosaurus albertensis or velociraptor mongoliensis, both of which were small and slim 'raptors'
final verdict: dromaeosarus OR velociraptor


and last but not least, this tyrannosauroid looking one.
and before anyone says anything; TYRANNOSAUROIDS MOST DEFINITELY HAD FEATHERS. in fact, scientists think that most, if not all dinosaurs had feathers of some sort, be it fully fledged almost bird-like feathers, quills, downy feathers, or 'dinofuzz'.
tyrannosauroids though, most likely had a full covering of feathers, similar to dromaeosaurs.
so i have a few guesses for this one. tyrannosaurus rex, nanuqsaurus hoglundi, or yutyrannus huali
but if we look closely, the dinosaur has two fingers, a feature that was mainly seen in tyrannosauridae, a sub category of tyrannosauroids, so that means nanuqsaurus and yutyrannus can be ruled out.
so that leaves the fan favorite, tyrannosaurus.
final verdict: tyrannosaurus.


anyway, sorry for all the text, im just really passionate about them :^P
but yeah, i love these pets to death and its a shame i dont have any way to get them for now, since i dont have any C$ lol
might be able to trade for them later though, who knows

GOOD JOB LILLIAN NIGHTSHADE!!! *thumbs up*

Aaaaand we got a winner, although you got got the second one right and then went back to pachycephalosaurus XD.

They are indeed Diabloceratops, Stygimoloch, Velociraptor and T-Rex. I'm aware tyranosaurids most likely had a full feathered cover, but it didn't look very good and I decided to add something more subtle instead. Also, fun fact: the T-Rex was the original idea for my staff dog last year, but the lineart got rejected because it was way too edited... And this kinda gave me the idea of using its potential for a store litter. At first it was meant to be a T-Rex litter, but like I said before I playfully doodled some extreme line edits on certain pet linearts and showed Tess as a joke, and she ended up approving the idea.

so cute , can you make an stego next please ^^
