In my dinosaur island creation, I'm dividing my island into three roughly-equal areas, terraforming them into semi-arid, jungle, and swamp/wetlands environments.

My particular question revolves around how best to divide the Prehistoric Creatures as well among these three biomes, while still maintaining an even and representative distribution of herbivores and carnivores. (I'm splitting based on general biome only, as also splitting along eras and periods would require far too many separate areas to be practical.)

I'm going off of the in-mod Dinopedia for most of my decisions. Currently, my distribution stands at:

SEMI-ARID (Prairie, Brushland, Outback, Xenic Shrubland, Lush Desert):

Herbivores: Pachycephalosaurus, Elasmotherium,  Mammoth, Gallimimus

Carnivores: Velociraptor, Dilophosaurus, Smilodon, Allosaurus

Special: Phorusrhacos, Titanis

JUNGLE:

Herbivores: Dryosaurus, Triceratops, Parasaurolophus, Brachiosaurus

Carnivores: Deinonychus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ceratosaurus

Special: Kelenken, Dodo

SWAMP/WETLAND:

 Herbivores: Ankylosaurus, Dryosaurus,  Therizinosaurus,  Stegosaurus

 Carnivores: Spinosaurus, Sarcosuchus, Ceratosaurus, Deinonychus

Special: Gastornis

AVIARY/AQUAMARINE EXHIBIT (fully enclosed):

MISC: Compsognathus, Pteranodon, Confuciusornis, Plesiosaurus, Liopleurodon, Mosasaurus, Henodus, Ichthyosaurus
