Improvements:

• The nest the player spawns at now spawns more insects.
  
• Nests now spawn an insect twice as often, every 15 seconds.
  
• Hatchling herbivores can now eat insects.
  

Changes:

• Insects no longer turn into a pile of meat when half of their flesh is eaten.
  

Balance:

• Aerial dinosaurs now have a two second delay from when they either jump into the air or flap their wings before they start falling.
  
• Aerial dinosaurs now fall at half their previous fall speed while gliding so they can go twice as far without flapping.
  
• Dinosaurs get hungry and thirsty 66% faster than previously.
  
• Attacking now causes half as much hunger than previously.
  

Fixed some cases of terrain collision not working properly for some dinosaurs, this includes the pteranodon.

Improvements:

• Made landing while flying smoother.
  

Balance:

• Pteranodon are now social dinosaurs and will come to the aid of other pteranodons.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed a case of pteranodons being able to fly through the terrain.
  

Improvements:

• When flying, the player no longer collides with trees.
  

Mechanics:

• The player's aerial dinosaurs can now fly. The pteranodon is currently the only aerial dinosaur in the game.
  
• Press the 'Spacebar' to jump into the air and begin gliding. If your dinosaur is older than a hatchling then while gliding you can flap your wings by pressing the 'Spacebar' to fly higher and faster. You can fly faster by flapping your wings until you reach your desired speed, but there is a maximum speed you can accelerate to. Press the 'W' key to accelerate and lose altitude. Press the 'S' key to break and lose your accumulated acceleration. Press and hold the 'Control' key to lose altitude without gaining speed.
  
• You need stamina in order to jump into the air. You also need stamina to flap your wings. Both jumping into the air and flapping your wings costs stamina.
  

Improvements:

• The bloody screen effect that overlays the screen when the player's dinosaur loses health is half as bloody as it used to be, resulting in an easier time seeing through it at low health.
  
• Dinosaurs now passively gain growth points over time. You can still eat to speed along your dinosaur's growth.
  

Balance:

• The pteranodon is now twice as fast on land as it was previously.
