Descriptions written by @orderedchaos.

Egg Description: Gingkolophus eggs are sometimes mistaken for large seeds or nuts, especially if you find one on its own. In a nest it is easier to recognize that these eggs are indeed eggs.

Creature Description: Gingkolophus are a common sight in Ark's wetlands and swamps. What is even more common than the sight of a herd of Gingkolophus slowly meandering their way across a swamp is their song. The crest on a Gingkolophus is a complex resonating chamber that this creature uses to produce a range of sounds. When a group of adult Gingkolophus sing together it can be heard up to a mile away. This is especially common around sunset when the song is used to call the herd back together for the coming night.

I am screeching I love them so much
Imagining a lil group of them singing together with all their floopy leaves in a swamp is just precious
I need like a hundred, and I need them ASAP
You guys did such a good design and description, it's perfect

@bunnyshadow OHHH THE BABY...I'M IN LOVE...and the adult stage is so pretty! I love this ❤️

Fluffy. It's so fluffy I could die. 😭 I really like this concept and especially the description, would love to hear a group of these singing melancholically in some swamp. I am awaiting this dino month so much, hoping it will see the light! 🥹

@bunnyshadow Awesome idea 😊 And based on one of my favourite dinosaurs (most dinosaurs are my favourite, but still xD)

This is actually kind of interesting as gingko is actually considered one of the oldest species of trees.

I just wanna bump this because I really love it, like gingko trees are so neat and I think it would be the best to have a gingko dino on the site ❤️

Baby stage had lots of potential to be ADORABLE
Last stage looks like it'll be absolutely majestic.

Teen I'd love to see what artists would do with as it's a bit longer, so they'd likely re-pose, but I like the chonky factor lol.

The color of the leaves could be green, red, yellow. (green in baby and then perhaps green-yellow and yellow-red as it progresses?) Either way, I love the rich color of Gingko trees, so I'd love to see those colors reflected on this. ❤️

This leafy duck billed dino has a lot of potential.
