Zoo Tycoon 2: Dino Danger Pack was a premium download pack for the game Zoo Tycoon 2 that released on July 2006. It could be found at the Zoo Tycoon official website. Although it was downloadable, it cost $4.99 USD to purchase from online. The DLC's name and content are similar to the expansion pack for the prior Zoo Tycoon game Dinosaur Digs.
Animals[]
This was the first Zoo Tycoon 2 official pack to include extinct animals: 2 ceratopsids and 2 theropods. Instead of laying eggs directly on the ground, they will build nests in stages for their young. Due to the nature of these species, this DLC also introduces the Extinct Conservation Status to the game.
| Animal | Biome | Conservation Status | Picture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boreal Forest | Extinct |  | |
| Styracosaurus | Extinct |  | |
| Triceratops | Boreal Forest | Extinct |  |
| Tyrannosaurus rex | Tropical Rainforest | Extinct |  |

Removal[]
Prior to the release of Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals, which has everything Dino Danger Pack has as well as more, the link to download Dino Danger was taken off of the official Zoo Tycoon website and can no longer be acquired officially. Extinct Animals will override the Dino Danger Pack, as it contains updated content from the premium DLC.

Trivia[]
- This is the first additional content for Zoo Tycoon 2 where guests can be killed. Both the Carnotaurus and Tyrannosaurus may swallow adult male guests whole.
- While the dinosaur nests appear to contain multiple eggs, due to the nests' coding they can only ever hatch into a single offspring.
