Jurassic World Evolution 3 has an all-new way of increasing the dinosaur population in your park, and breeding offers you some massive benefits.
While you can always acquire dinosaurs via fossil extraction and from the market, breeding is arguably the most sustainable way of raising the prehistoric creatures in your park. While it takes a bit of time to breed your first juvenile, the process is simple once you get the hang of it.

How to breed in Jurassic World Evolution 3
The breeding process has specific requirements that you'll have to meet in Jurassic World Evolution 3. I have discussed that more below, but let's look at how to breed a new dinosaur. Breeding can be done either using a Hatchery or a Nesting Area.
Hatchery
A Hatchery can be attached to the enclosure where you want the pair of dinosaurs to breed. The gate of the Hatchery must be open inside the enclosure for the newborn to find its home. When your dinosaurs are ready and their mating requirements are met, you can request your scientists to help the egg incubate. You can release the juvenile dinosaur once the incubation period is over.
Nesting Area
The Nesting Area is pretty similar to the Hatchery, but dinosaurs can breed naturally as long as the requirements are met. The ggs will incubate and hatch naturally, releasing the juveniles in the enclosure.
Hatchery vs Nesting Area - which one should you use in Jurassic World Evolution 3
Both the Hatchery and the Nesting Area have their own respective use-case scenarios. When you raise a juvenile, it can retain traits from its parents. Hatchery allows you to exercise more control over these factors, which is helpful if you're trying to raise your park appeal.
While juveniles will still retain traits from their parents when using the Nesting Area, it will be completely random. The Hatchery allows more micro-management, which can be helpful in certain situations.
