Jurassic World brought me back!
I saw the movie last week, recommended.
I had to come back here remembering Rexy, I finally learned not only you could conscript/rescue/ally, but did it myself. I was always ANGRY you couldn't do it in the game.
Irvine California has TONS of dogs, T-Rex, camels, polar bears, and some others. A non-controllable (let alone clickable) lake monster or two also.
