The Department of Prehistoric Wildlife (DPW) is a global organization that publishes up-to-date reports on dinosaur encounters, sightings and vital public information. Visit our website for the latest information:
Like with all wild animals it is never advised to disturb the dinosaurs. Even the most peaceful ones can suddenly become aggressive and potentially cause serious injury or fatalities.
DO NOT interact with the Compys. Despite their tiny size these animals can be extremely dangerous, and if they swarm on you it could be fatal. Visit to learn more about this miniature dinosaur.
Dinosaurs live amongst us now. We encourage you to observe and document these glorious creatures from afar and ask that you read our dinosaur field guide for "dos and don'tsโ in case of an encounter. For your safety, and theirs visit:
A beachcomber discovered an extremely large tooth on the sands along the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve. Subsequent genetic and morphological analysis confirmed it belonged to the
#Mosasaurus

WARNING! The illegal global genetic engineering of dinosaur DNA has meant species may be in any location around the world such as this sighting in Australia. Please check the Dinotracker website for the latest sightings.
The residents of Shoeburyness, U.K. ignored DPW warnings of growing prehistoric predator activity in their area. Unfortunately, their pets paid the price. Remember to monitor dinosaur activity on the

Did you know the first time a dinosaur made it to the mainland was in 1997? A Tyrannosaur escaped into San Diego before being captured and returned to Isla Sorna. Now dinosaurs are global and the best way to stay safe is to visit
Signs of Brachiosaurus Territory can be extensive browsing damage to low-lying trees and underbrush, uprooting of mature trees along compacted ground, or extremely well-worn trails.

Some Allosaurs have vibrant blue skin with yellow stripes and red crests; itโs still unknown if this is sexual dimorphism, genetic engineering, or simply individual variation.
Residents have been made aware that a small herd of Triceratops have been spotted in Mayo, Ireland. To find out what to do if you encounter this species visit the Triceratops field guide on

The plight of a lone brachiosaurus living near the Finnish city of Rovaniemi captured the hearts of the locals as it searched for a herd of its own. Finnish locals volunteered to assist the DPW to safely relocate the Brachiosaurus to a new home.
Gallimimus are not aggressive towards people, but running herds can be very dangerous. Keep your distance from any herds and consult the field guide for more information
Watch out for dinosaur nests! If you come across one, leave the area immediately. The adults wonโt be far and you may not know which nest youโve encountered.
A herd of Ankylosaurus have set up their territory in the redwood forests of California. If youโre visiting the area please familiarize yourself with our field guide on this particular species.
The DPW team was able to locate this Baryonyx and are working to move it to a safer location.
We appreciate all the reports coming in to

Phew. A happy ending.
The more we track these animals, the better educated everyone will be on how to stay safe, and co-exist with our new neighbors. So thank you for all your valuable reporting out there in the wild.
#BREAKING
: DFW agents have had made headway in a recent Anti-Poaching operation, recovering a juvenile TRICERATOPS and PACHYCEPHALOSAURUS from heartbreaking conditions. These malnourished animals will be transported and treated at a secure facility.

Do not underestimate the Velociraptors. They are highly intelligent, they hunt in packs and are extremely lethal. For more information on what to do if you encounter this species visit
Like any of the large dinosaurs, itโs best to view the
#Apatosaurus
from afar. Their tails can whip at such high speeds they can cause potentially fatal injuries.
There are multiple reports of
#Ankylosaurus
activity in Enid, Oklahoma. We encourage residents who encounter these dinosaurs to document their sightings to the DPW, and refer to the Ankylosaurus dinosaur field guide for more information
Parasaurolophus are very vocal and can often be heard from a great distance. You can often tell how many Parasaurolophus are in your area by listening to them communicate.
Due to illegal trafficking, dinosaurs may be found in many countries around the world. Please use the DinoTracker field guide information to help stay safe in the event of an encounter.
What big eyes they have ๐
Not sure what species this is. Weโre going through our records but cannot see anything that matches this description. Local field agents are investigating your report. Thank you for submitting.

Why didn't anyone warn me?? I was at Crater Lake when this GIANT
#Allosaurus
appeared. There were no signs or warnings, though!!! What's up with that, I could've gotten KILLED!!!

Yes, you were correct to not make any sudden movements. As you know Sinoceratops are have a short fuse and can become aggressive very quickly. Thank you for your report and understanding of these animals.
Are the dogs okay?
Thank you for reporting your sighting. We've submitted it to local field agents to investigate. As a reminder, although they look cute, Compys are very dangerous in groups!
Dogs were making a scandal last night, so I went to check it out and saw these little guys making a mess with the trash in the streets! Another one for

It wonโt be same but we can learn to live together!
Pteranodons are the most far reaching of all the prehistoric animals out there so thank you for reporting this sighting.
A farmer rescued a sick Stygimoloch that was spotted on a roadside. The animal was then sent to a local paleo-sanctuary to be treated. For more information on this dinosaur visit

Thank you for your valuable sighting!
This is the first report of Apatosaurus in India. Local DPW agents have been dispatched to investigate and verify.
More than happy to help!
You'll be pleased to know the Parasaur was in good health and seems very happy to be at a paleo-santuary. Thank you once again for the call.
Spooky picture. Our bones are shaking!
Weโre going through our records but cannot see anything that matches this species. Local field agents are investigating your report. Thank you for submitting.
I was just taking a hike out at the forest and noticed this guy walking by in the distance, this was the only image I could get of it. Thought it was a raptor at first but now I'm not sure. I checked Jurassic World's old website but it didn't showed a Dino like this.

Hey
@Dinotracker
, Baryonyx is my favorite dinosaur and all but when I donated to โSave the Barysโ, this isnโt what I expected to come home to. Can somebody help!? โฆBefore I get used to her ๐
The DPW does not recommend capturing or trying to domesticate any species of dinosaur. While some may appear gentle, they are wild animals. Please treat them with respect and caution.
'DO DINOSAURS THREATEN OUR EXISTENCE?' Injury or death attributed to dinosaurs is rare. Similar to other wild predators, dinosaurs prefer to keep their distance and will typically avoid confrontation unless threatened. For more information visit

When you encounter a Nasutoceratops, it's best to keep your distance and wait for them to move on. Since you are in Nasutoceratops territory, we suggest adding a red stripe to your vehicle to deter charging behavior.
