If I could travel back & change one thing about JP, I'd make it feature more than just Mesozoic species. Especially Permian species cuz the representation from that would likely increase interest & benefit research into Permian fauna. Just imagine seeing Anteosaurus, Rubidgea or-

Todays first Ecological Horror is the Helicoprion!

The Helicoprion was believed to grow up to 25 feet long and weigh 1,000 pounds. They managed to survive the Permian-Triassic Extinction Event, which caused the extinction of 90% of marine life. Their mouths also look weird lol
