Diplodocus in Dinolets
Diplodocus is egg number 9 of 12. In the game it's orange, and its special feature is the one the voice calls out: "A whip tail!" The voice says its name as "dih-PLOD-oh-kus".
In Feed it eats plants, and from level 2 your child is asked to pick the right food for it. Once it has hatched, it joins in the other games too.
