Like in previous game, more extinct animals, foliage and better care for dinosaurs can be researched. You also need to build a special building for dinosaur capture. In contrast to the regular animals, dinosaurs hatch from an egg and you need to employ a scientist to care for them. In addition, new types of electrical fences to accommodate the huge animals and prehistoric foliage have been introduced. Some of the animals can mate with modern-day animals for example the Woolly Mammoth can mate with either the Asian or African Elephants, Coelodonta can mate with either the Black or White Rhinos and the Smilodon can mate with either the Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Cheetah or Jaguar.Dinosaur Digs includes 20 new prehistoric animals to choose from, including mammoths, sabre-toothed cats, and dinosaurs, as well as prehistoric-themed items and buildings. They are the most accurate in any Zoo Tycoon game to date as the Carnivores will only ram the electric fences when angered enough. The game has 40 animals to choose from, 30 from the Mesozoic Era and 10 from the Ice Age. Tycoon Mode, which was introduced in the first Zoo Tycoon, has also returned. Also like its predecessor, the game allows the player to care for their animals by monitoring their mood, hunger, and thirst. The gameplay that was shown included elements similar to Zoo Tycoon 2, such as a first person view, and new elements such as feeding animals in first person view.
