• Allosaurus and Ankylosaurus are listed here.
• There are a total of 30 unique dinosaur species in the new Jurassic World movie.
• Jurassic World Domination opens on June 10 this year.

The Jurassic World Dominion opens this year on June 10th and reminds us once again of how awesome dinosaurs really are! We all know there are a lot of dinosaurs in the movies, but sometimes it's hard to tell which ones we've seen before!

Our modern scientific understanding of dinosaurs comes from the work of generations of paleontologists. These explorers of Earth's past identified and analyzed fossils to build and share knowledge about prehistoric life.

The creative team behind the film worked with some of today's paleontologists to conceive of dinosaur characters using some species that hadn't been featured in previous films. While the film takes some liberties for the sake of entertainment, the creatures that make it to the screen are influenced by actual scientific research.

Today, we've put together a list of every dinosaur in the new Jurassic World movie, in case you're a little curious after watching. If you're a Jurassic Park/World fan or simply a dinosaur lover, this comprehensive list is for you. Let's meet every dinosaur in Jurassic World Reign!

List of Every Dinosaur in Jurassic World Domination

There are a total of 30 unique dinosaur species in the new Jurassic World movie. Some of them we've seen, others we haven't. We've alphabetized our list and included a quick description of the dinosaurs, and the time period during which they likely lived on Earth. It's easy to forget that these aren't just movie ideas; these creatures really live on Earth – and we have their bones!

Allosaurus

Synopsis: Allosaurus is one of the most famous dinosaurs in all of the Jurassic movies, and one of the most famous in colloquial terms. The name means "various lizard," and it was first discovered in modern-day Colorado in the late 1800s.

Allosaurus was a large bipedal (walked on two legs) predator that reached more than 30 feet in length and may have weighed between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds. It belongs to the large carnivorous dinosaurs, similar to Tyrannosaurus rex.

Time: 15.5 to 145 million years ago

Ankylosaurus

Description: Ankylosaurus is another famous dinosaur found in western North America. Its name means "fused lizard" and "big belly". This dinosaur is very heavy and fully armed. Also, it walks on all fours and is primarily a herbivore. Most people will recognize this dinosaur from its heavily armored body and club-like tail that was often used for defense. Ankylosaurus was 20 feet long and weighed 8 tons.

Time: 68-66 million years ago

Brontosaurus

Description: Brontosaurus was a herbivorous sauropod that walked on four legs. Sauropods are known for their extremely long necks and tails, which allow them to reach young leaves and ferns. The first Apatosaurus was discovered in North America. These massive creatures were 69 to 75 feet long and weighed 16 to 22.4 tons, making them one of the largest dinosaurs around.

Time: 15.2 to 151 million years ago

Tyrannosaurus rex

Description: Tyrannosaurus rex was a medium-sized feathered carnivore that walked on two legs. Its name means "savage robber," and this dinosaur was believed to be a bird of prey. The first and only fragment of a Tyrannosaur was found in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation in Canada. The raptor is about 6 feet long and weighs about 35 pounds.

Time: 68.5 million years ago

Baryonyx

Description: Baryonyx was a theropod dinosaur that walked on two legs. Its name means "heavy claw" and was first discovered in Surrey, England. Baryonyx was probably piscivorous, possibly semiaquatic. Most Baryonyx were between 25 and 35 feet long and weighed between 1.2 and 1.7 tons.

Time: 130-125 million years ago

Brachiosaurus

Description: Brachiosaurus is a famous sauropod known by its name (meaning arm lizard). Fossil remains were first found in the Colorado River, and they lived in modern North America. Brachiosaurus had a very long neck and tail, measuring 59 to 69 feet long and weighing 28 to 58 tons.

Time: 15.4-150 million years ago

Carnotaurus

Description: Carnotaurus was a large theropod and bipedal carnivore. Its name means carnivorous bull, derived from the large horns above its eyes. Fossil remains have been found in the La Colonia Formation, the dinosaurs that lived in modern South America. They are 24 to 26 feet long and weigh more than 1.3 tons.

Time: 71 and 69 million years ago

Compsognathus

Description: Compsognathus was a small bipedal carnivore. As its size suggests, its name means elegance, sophistication or refinement. Remains of Compsognathus have been found in Europe, and almost complete examples have been found in Germany and France. These dinosaurs were very small, about the size of a turkey.

Time: 150 million years ago

One of the largest known land animals, Dreadnought was about 85 feet long, two stories tall when standing, and weighed more than 50 tons.

Time: 76-70 million years ago

Gallimimus

Description: Gallimimus was a medium-sized omnivorous theropod dinosaur. Its name means "chicken imitation" because its neck closely resembles that of a chicken.
