The basic scenario in Dino Digs is that cloning technology (much like that seen in Jurassic Park) has reached the point where living Dinosaurs can be produced in your labs. Of course there is tremendous potential to make some dollars as well as further your scientific reputation so you're newly cloned beasties are packed up and put in the Zoo. Of course caring for a giant reptile capable of swallowing a human whole is a slightly different proposition to setting up a new hippopotamus enclosure so there are a host of new problems to face. Dino Digs has a number of new scenarios to play through which will test your skills at crowd-pleasing.

There are more than twenty prehistoric creatures making an appearance in Dino Digs and as they are based on 'real' dinosaurs there is plenty of variety. Looking after the smaller creatures isn't too much of a chore as the same skills and techniques from the main game can be employed. There are some differences of course but they are really just slightly bigger lizards. The real challenge is when you start to mess with the big boys. The Tyrannosaurus Rex is a cantankerous beast who requires serious care and attention. This guy has a tendency to start demolishing his own enclosure if he isn't one hundred percent happy!
