| Species Profile | Size | Reason for Selection | Risk Level | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | ~2 meters | Small, herbivorous, relatively simple physiology. Ideal for initial enclosure testing. | Low | | Therizinosaurus | Large | Large herbivore. Distinctive anatomy. Tests viability of megafauna in modern flora environments. | Medium | | Ornithomimus | ~3.5 meters | Ostrich-like. Fast metabolism. Closest genetic link to modern birds (easier gestation). | Low-Medium | | Velociraptor (Real) | ~0.5 meters | Turkey-sized. Feathers. High intelligence for cognitive testing.

In 2025, a joint project between Harvard and the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully mapped the entire genome of the Psittacosaurus (a small, parrot-faced dinosaur).
