In a virtual game, feed prehistoric reptile babies and learn more about the diet of these animals
A time machine brought baby dinosaurs into a scientist's laboratory. While he works on the equipment to get them back, you'll need to contain the mess. For that, the dinosaurs better not get hungry!
Feeding the babies is up to you – and it's well balanced. To be able to calm the ferocious, follow the stipulated rules: carbohydrates for energy, proteins for strength, vitamins to ensure health. Nothing is left out!
At each stage, the challenge becomes greater. Dinosaurs now dictate their food preferences, that is, whether they are vegetarian, vegan, omnivorous or carnivorous. Calm down, no need to be scared. These names mean that some of them won't eat meat; others will not eat meat or animal-derived foods; some will eat everything and some will only eat meat… To better understand, just play!
