Fabric - 1.20.1

Inspired by popular medias such as Ark:SE, Jurassic Park, and my own love of Dinosaurs and prehistory!

I use the term "Dinosaur" quite loosely, as really these are just prehistoric creatures; Theropods, Pterosaurs, Invertebrates, and Fishes, but I hope you enjoy them!

This mod will add 13 naturally spawning Animals to the Overworld, that can be ridden, used as food or resources, breed, and interact with other entities. Further details can be found on the Wiki.
