Neovenator Gigantic Trackers

Neovenator was the top predator of Early Cretaceous England, and its snout was packed with nerves, possibly making it as sensitive as a crocodile’s. Mattel made it one of the first Gigantic Trackers in Jurassic World Epic Evolution, a big teal figure with a yellow head and belly, a row of red crest spines and an attack motion. Here is what the figure looks like, what made its snout special, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Science Spotlight: The Sensitive Snout

A 2017 scan of the Neovenator skull revealed a surprise inside the snout.

Scan resultsA face full of nervesNeovenator salerii
Scanned: 2017Found: a dense network of nerve channelsCompared to: crocodiles and some birdsPossible use: feeling prey, handling food, or courtship
CT scans showed that the snout bones of Neovenator were full of channels for nerves and blood vessels, much like the sensitive faces of modern crocodiles.

The snout may have helped it judge exactly how hard to bite, or to touch and nuzzle mates.

What Is Gigantic Trackers?
