Various Changes
The player can now turn their dinosaur without moving by holding the control key and then pressing a movement key. This does not work while flying.
The player can now smell nests. Their own nest is highlighted in light pink and other nests are highlighted in dark pink. Aquatic dinosaurs cannot smell nests on land. Only aquatic and amphibious dinosaurs can smell nests underwater. Nests can be smelled ten times further away than other things can be smelled. Up to four nests can be smelled at once, depending on the age of the dinosaur.
The player's dinosaur now has an acceleration rate that is used while moving. They'll start moving slower and pick up speed over time. Each species can have its own acceleration rate.
Aquatic nests now appear as seaweed.

Changes:
- Leedsichthys now has gills.
- The meadow biome has been changed to the prarie biome, and its grasses have changed.
- The ocean biome has changed slightly.
- The Archelon and Sarcosuchus now play their swimming and water-idle animations slower.
Balance Tuning:
- Dinosaur speed no longer increases linearly from hatchling size to adult size. Instead there are four speeds, one for hatchling, juvenile, sub-adult, and adult. This allows younger dinosaurs to be faster but not quite as fast as the adults. Now, most dinosaurs are much faster at younger stages.
- Dinosaur movement speed has received a tuning pass.
- Dinosaur turn speed has received a tuning pass.
- All flying dinosaurs have had their stamina doubled so they can fly longer.
