*- Released as a downloadable "bonus animal" after the initial release of the expansion pack.
**- Although Triceratops was available in the original Zoo Tycoon by use of a cheat code, its habitat could be made suitable with the use of modern day foliage and rocks. A new version was released with Dinosaur Digs that had to be pleased by use of prehistoric foliage and rocks.

A new scenery was added with Zoo Tycoon: Dinosaur Digs. This included volcanoes, tar pits, fossil walls, and dinosaur skeletons.

New buildings were added, which could turn any park completely dinosaur themed. These included ice age themed ice cream shops, dinosaur themed gift shops, and even a dinosaur themed mini-golf course.
