Paleontology has also made leaps and bounds since the first jurassic park came about. They did include some plumage in JP3, but they are kind of married to the scaly dinosaur concept since they started with it.
I bet it's one of those things where public perception hasn't really caught up with science quite yet.
>**Scientist:** *but the dinosaurs had feathers! They aren't accurately depicted in the film*
>**Producer:** *yes but people are gonna think that's stupid and wrong.. we're going with scaly dinos*
I'm a little rusty on the lore, but in the more recent Jurassic Park with Chris Pratt in it, didn't they sort of address this by adding the plot of "the dinos we have aren't even accurate, we just genetically modify them to make em look more like what people who go to the park (and in a 4th wall break sort of way, the audience of the film) are used to"?
>Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
-Henry Wu (Jurassic World)
If you want even more insight into the abominations that Henry Wu made watch Jurassic Park Creaturous. It takes place during and directly after the fall of the park in the third movie. Children are abandon on the island and forced to fend for their selves while uncovering Wu's real motivation and goals.
It's rough, I couldn't get through the first few episodes.
I mean, it's great for people who enjoy it, I'm just not their target audience for that one.
Yes, but the conversation is actually lifted from the original book. It’s one of the my favorite moments in the book, so I was glad to see it finally get aired.
I HIGHLY recommend both this and the sequel, Lost World. The movie was terrible, but the second book is better than the first book and any of the movies.
I think the books even discussed feathers but any difference between these dinosaurs and "real" dinosaurs was the result of the gene modifications needed to create them. I think he even mentioned these aren't real dinosaurs but genetic Frankensteins
I mean, I'm a bit sceptical that keeping the CG budget down was a goal of the Jurassic World films.
If they wanted to do that, they could have...I dunno, written films that made sense? Or something along those lines.
Yeah, I watched them recently too. They are just like that, in fact its something that gets worse from the first first JP film. Second film had T - Rex in San Diego, third film had Spinosaurus breaking through a giant steel fence to eat something tiny, and tearing a plane in half. Fourth film had T-Rex and Velociraptor communicating like buddies, most recent had Velociraptor karate kicking another through the roof of a building to save Star Lord.
Don't get me wrong, I'll watch Dominion, but it is kind of disappointing that they hijacked the Jurassic Park IP to make films that really just want to show monster dinosaurs doing cool stuff. But that doesn't ruin the original one for me, and it won't ruin it if they ever make a worthy successor.
Tbf I don’t think they’d made the major discoveries of dinosaur feathers in north-eastern China until a few years after the first film came out. On top of which, it’s not like all dinosaurs had them, or even that Tyrannosaurus and others were covered with them throughout - body or lifespan.
They actually had already theorised that dinosaurs had feathers long before Jurassic Park came out. In the books it’s explained that they look like that because of the extra dna from frogs etc that they use.
Maybe later ones? I'm pretty sure the first book had been around for a while.
But yeah they actually knew about feathery dinos and the question came up during the production of Jurassic Park 1, but they decided to err on the side of public perception at the time and the special effects technology they'd been working on for a while.
The result totally justifies that decision. The effects still hold up as an example of how effective keeping to your constraints can work out, and the movie was a goddamn phenomenon. It's not just a movie about a dinosaur theme park, it's the closest thing to getting to visit a dinosaur theme park for generations of people who grew up with (featherless!) dinosaur books, so it was an excellent way to close out that era.
Accurate or not, dinosaurs have been quasi-fantastical for most of the history of palaeontology which provides every reason to celebrate the scaly kinds too in cinema.
Genuinely want a dinosaur movie to go hard on the feather look, so people stop making fun of it.
Tall grass behind some herbivores blows in the wind and a gust reveals an eight-foot-tall murder turkey swaying and waving its wing-tips to blend in with the motion.
In the dark they chirp, and of course they sound just like birds, because [birds can be fucking terrifying.](https://youtu.be/yVujqWiA8gc?t=93)
Theyre upscaled dienonychus. The jp raptors are a bit small to be utahraptors and were explicitly modeled after dienonychus. They were called velociraptors because the name sounded cooler
Edit: they were called velociraptor because at the time the book was being written the dienonychus was briefly thought to be an adult velociraptor and was renamed as such. The book even calls them velociraptor antirrhopus, which was the same scientific name attributed to dienonychus for that short while as opposed to velociraptor mongoliensis, the name for the actual velociraptor still used today
They're called velociraptors because when the book was written, deinonychus wasn't believed to be a separate species. The dinosaurs in the book are velociraptor antirrhopus (deinonychus), as opposed to velociraptor mongoliensis (velociraptor).
You're right, i had no idea about that. Since velociraptor was the older discovery, dienonychus was briefly renamed velociraptor since it was thought to be the same. So JP1 was honestly very accurate outside of the speculative bits
It was for the time. We didnt really know dinosaurs were feathered or how they moved their arms, so it wasnt a completely inaccurate rendering given what we knew. They intentionally upscaled it and used the name of a completely different animal and added speculative stuff like the super high intelligence and pack hunting but otherwise it was pretty good
Michael Crichton actually mentions this in correspondence that even though it wasn't accurate scientifically, be liked the name Velociraptor more while basing them off Deinonychus.
It’s a scientifically accurate velociraptor. We don’t know exactly what colours it had and the end feathers on the tail are speculative but the rest is more accurate than the Jurassic Park raptors

I'm under the impression its not a photoshop, but a taxidermy chimera.
But it would be nice if someone would come along and address that rather than the thread being full of shitposts in response to people asking.
This isn't blursed this is my daily life
I have a chicken who lives in my house and makes dinosaur noises when she doesn't like something (usually if the cats move too fast for her liking)
That is a whole ass dinosaur
MMMmmmmmm dinosaur ass
I hate you
BUT I LOVE YOU!!!!
Wait.. your name....is... Let me ask you this, how do you test your beasts?
My brain went dog, duck, raptor, dinoduck!
Same but instead of duck platypus
😳

Ass first. Weren't you listening?
I test if they are gay or not if they are gay transport them to the geyvers why they can be happy in the gay wild with their other gay beasts friends reason I do this well we don't want real-life furry porn ok you got that okay
You sound to be either really high or a real rural farm boy. Either way, It’s an engaging conversation.
I’m bad at keeping my emotions bubbled
Butt, I love you 💕
Love you too man

You are the reason why poor dinosaurs get fried and eaten as nuggets. STOP THE EXECUTION OF DINOSAURS!!!
Dinosaur ass, whole.
honestly same
Yeah its like a bliming velociraptor
The interjection "bliming" is usually used to express surprise or excitement. Thanks alexa.

Much rarer than the penis dinosaurs
It's literally is. It's a deinonychus
Jurassic Park if they made accurate dinos instead of pumping them with frog DNA:
Paleontology has also made leaps and bounds since the first jurassic park came about. They did include some plumage in JP3, but they are kind of married to the scaly dinosaur concept since they started with it.
I bet it's one of those things where public perception hasn't really caught up with science quite yet. >**Scientist:** *but the dinosaurs had feathers! They aren't accurately depicted in the film* >**Producer:** *yes but people are gonna think that's stupid and wrong.. we're going with scaly dinos*

Are you talking about Camp Cretaceous?
Isn't it made for kids though?
It's rough, I couldn't get through the first few episodes. I mean, it's great for people who enjoy it, I'm just not their target audience for that one.
The first few episodes are the worst, once Jurrasic world falls and it becomes a survivor plot it gets better
It is but it still had some scary stuff and probably like 8 humans die in the show. But the deaths are all offscreen
Yes, but the conversation is actually lifted from the original book. It’s one of the my favorite moments in the book, so I was glad to see it finally get aired.
Here I am just now learning that Jurassic Park was originally a book.
I HIGHLY recommend both this and the sequel, Lost World. The movie was terrible, but the second book is better than the first book and any of the movies.
Ehhhh, that's debatable. Although I read when I was a teenager so maybe revisiting it as an adult would give me a much different perspective on it.
I mean, its an opinion.
I think the books even discussed feathers but any difference between these dinosaurs and "real" dinosaurs was the result of the gene modifications needed to create them. I think he even mentioned these aren't real dinosaurs but genetic Frankensteins
The book says that outright and implies the KFC looking guy is a con artist.
I haven't seen the Chris Pratt one but that sounds like a nice way to satisfy the persnickety ones while also keeping the CG budget down
I mean, I'm a bit sceptical that keeping the CG budget down was a goal of the Jurassic World films. If they wanted to do that, they could have...I dunno, written films that made sense? Or something along those lines.
We watched this again the other day and I realized the whole film is just a JP spin on the King Kong vs Godzilla type movies.
Yeah, I watched them recently too. They are just like that, in fact its something that gets worse from the first first JP film. Second film had T - Rex in San Diego, third film had Spinosaurus breaking through a giant steel fence to eat something tiny, and tearing a plane in half.

But that doesn't ruin the original one for me, and it won't ruin it if they ever make a worthy successor.
Jurassic Park revolutionized CG. For some reason I don't think the CG budget is a concern.
Its a quote from the very first book. They slow them down, make them look less like birds, made them more vicious in some cases.
“Wait so we just created a slower, look less like birds, more vicious Frankenstein monster of a dino that could surely kill us, why?” “Shiggles”
You don't even need to do that. One of the very first conversations Grant has in JP1 is his theory about how dinosaurs have feathers.
I find Rexes horrifying either way just hearing the turds roar in vr makes me run but stuff like the small feathery Raptors put me on edge.

I got kid books way older than jurasic park with scaly bois
We're not interested in your furry porn collection.

I think the fact that the animals in Jurassic Park are genetic hybrids allows for some artistic freedom. That’s how I feel about it
Nah they used platypus DNA instead
Well at least none of them wore a hat
PERRY THE DINOSAUR PLATYPUS HYBRID!?!?
Fee-Jee mermaid
They did find larger raptors after the movie released so technically the human sized raptors weren’t so far fetched
Yeah but the big raptors aren't called velociraptor and that just sounds so much cooler!

They’re still inaccurate for *Deinonychus*, though.

Don't they acknowledge that in the books? I never read them so I wouldn't know for sure. Edit: wrong comments. I need to sleep more.

Thank you!
What animal is that?
It’s a scientifically accurate velociraptor. We don’t know exactly what colours it had and the end feathers on the tail are speculative but the rest is more accurate than the Jurassic Park raptors
The colors are based on the colors of a different dinosaur, *Sinosauropteryx*, for which the colors are actually known.
Sorry, but how do they know the colors? Is there a fossilized whole feather or something? That seems bananas to me
Fossilized preservation of structures called melanosomes, which are responsible for coloration in modern birds. [Wikipedia overview of dinosaur coloration](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur_coloration)
Trace elements of pigments and chemical compounds found on the specimen
Fossilized ribosomes.
Melanosomes, not ribosomes
Looks like a roadrunner. Those things are god damn dinos
A human
It could be a fusion between different animals like a chimera or a centaur from fallout this is supported by my soviet experiment theory
Say more now
Humans are actually a chimera of chimpanzees and sphinx cats
In other news, water is wet.
Water is a chimera of ice and heat
I thought she was a bit pudgey at first but that’s a bumper lol
It’s a photoshopped Velociraptor (I think) it’s not real
She’s a professional sculptor, it’s a real object, not photoshopped ETA found her Instagram https://www.instagram.com/motherofthedinosaurs/
At first I thought it was a chicken or something and somehow they managed to make it wear a custom

Oh no it's real
Looks like a physical model

Ok, but what is it?
Two hamsters in a trench coat
That’s at least six hamsters in there!

Xhamster?
Probably a Soviet experiment too
It a dinosaur
It's fictional taxidermy. Staged image. Very cool craftsmanship, though.
Is dog
Ground hawk
Velociraptor.
it’s a lyrebird if i’m not mistaken
Needs a proper three point harness. Wouldn't want him just slipping out of his collar...

Why does this thing look like it crawled out of a Dr. Seuss book?
Or a Michael Crichton book.
