Welcome back, Park Managers, to our latest Species Field Guide!
In this series, we discuss some of the fascinating dinosaurs and reptiles you're able to care for in Jurassic World Evolution 2, including both familiar faces and some new ones, and we're really excited to be able to continue sharing and highlighting them!
Today, we'll be taking a look at one of the brand new species making a splash in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack on August 10...Archelon!

It's not hard to see why Archelon's name means 'Ruler Turtle'; in fact, Archelon remains to this day the largest turtle ever found. Initially discovered in South Dakota in 1895, Archelon is believed to have had a leathery carapace, as opposed to the hard shell most modern sea turtles possess today.
With large, strong flippers, it's thought that Archelon was an incredibly fast swimmer. Paired with its hooked beak, this made Archelon an impressive marine reptile.

A somewhat social species, Archelon will need a few of its own kind in its enclosure to ensure their social needs are met; you'll also need to utilise the new Lagoon Rock Platform coming in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Prehistoric Marine Species Pack to make certain that they have an appropriate above-water resting spot.
Naturally, you'll also want to make sure that Archelon has plenty of fish to feast on if you want to keep them happy - a grumpy prehistoric turtle is the last thing you want on your hands, Park Managers!
We hope you enjoyed this introduction to Archelon, and we can't wait to see what enclosures you design for them in your parks.
