Talk:Original Theory of Dino Fusion/@comment-5297252-20120817233530/@comment-5051663-20120818100320

It's from observation by many villagers who report fusion results. The developers could but won't say.

Dinos can 'sit'; there is an image for each dino in each stage of development for this (with the word 'sit' in the file name). It seems to be used when there's too much animation on the screen and it can't keep up. Some of the dinos start 'sitting', then wake up and others start 'sitting'. The toddler stegosaurus sits with his legs splayed out in all directions and it looks like he fell down drunk. Some dinos sit back on their rear haunches (teen stegosaurus and teen andrewsarchus, for example). Dino sitting has no apparent relationship to fusion - dinos start and stop sitting in minutes or less; dinos wake up or go to sleep in periods of weeks or months - usually when a new dino is introduced.
