Mr. DNA's Fun Trivia

• Ostriches are one of the few modern animals included in Jurassic Saga, serving as a source of Ostrich Eggs needed for hatching large dinosaurs.
• Ostrich Eggs are the largest eggs used in the mod, required for creatures like Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, and other massive dinosaurs.
• Despite popular myth, ostriches don't actually bury their heads in sand when frightened — this misconception comes from their habit of lying flat to avoid detection.
