Tragic Loss of Archaeopteryx Family: I feel so bad for you about this tragedy, and yes, there really should be an undo button for this game. Don't be so hard on yourself, this is not an example of someone being stupid. This effect is known as "conditioned response" and is well-known and frequently exploited by game designers. Anyone using the inventory trick repeats the same mechanical sequence of steps over and over - sometimes many dozen times. The player becomes conditioned to just click the "Inventory Alert Box" without even thinking about it. So once you accidentally clicked on the habitat, your prior conditioning pretty much guaranteed the tragic end. You'll feel better if you transfer your anger about this loss to where it properly belongs - sloppy game designers.

Here is a tip. Arrange the dino den so nothing near it will cause a catastrophe if it accidentally goes into inventory. And before trying the inventory trick, zoom to maximum so only the dino den is in view. This will decrease the probability of selecting something other than the dino den. Good luck, and hopefuly a new archae family will see the empty nest and settle soon in your village.
