Hmm... I guess I'd lean towards "no", as I think the infoboxes are big enough/have enough information already and if the reader wants to know family/friends/enemies, they can just read the article.

The dinosaurs of Jurassic Park have always been a bit of a grey area with me. I see both the "just an animal" argument and the "villains" argument. I will say that I agree with Queen Misery in that, for an animal to qualify, it needs to be genetically altered (either so it is intelligent OR making it more of a monster).

Now, they do say in the films that the JP dinosaurs are genetically altered: they combined other animal DNAs to fill in the gaps in the genetic code, so there is the argument that all the JP dinos are more feral hybrid monsters than actual wild animals, so they do ascend beyond "normal predators". There are also the Velociraptors, which are frequently stated to be so intelligent that they can search for weaknesses in confinement, communicate with each other, form strategies, and, as of the Jurassic World films, are shown to communicate with the Indominous rex and willingly choose to switch to its side, be trained, and, in Blue's case, even feel emotion for humans (Fallen Kingdom had Owen's video log showing how Blue was concerned when he acted sad). So considering the Raptors' intelligence, as well as the fact that all the JP dinos are essentially mutant monsters, I'd be on board for further discussions.

The Spino, I would agree, is acting more on its feral nature than true malice/intelligence, but an argument can be made that its more of a monster than an animal too.
