He was just a prototype. Imagine what the final product would be like.

I always thought the Spinosaurus did this because it is the only aquatic dinosaur present in the film.

But I have heard some theories that a mosasaurus did it.

Or that a pterodactyl was responsible.

I know the second one sounds absurd, since the pterosaurs were locked up in the aviary, till you remember some species of pterodactyl were seen freely roaming in The Lost World at the end.

Still, I'm pretty sure Eric and Ben would have seen it.

Or it is possible that the film was letting the audience imagine the worst thing without revealing any actual dinosaur or marine reptile.

As much as I wonder about what killed them, not being given an answer actually makes the scene more powerful.

So we all saw how JW ended for the I. Rex. She got pushed all the way back to the sea and the Mosasaurus finished her off. But what if she would've managed to escape despite her injuries? Would she survive them and appear again In Fallen Kingdom? I just randomly thought of that and thought I'd ask here!

When I was younger I thought he was so cute so he always had a pass. I understand he’s young/ dumb and ignorant. Yet I like his passion an obviously a deep down good guy.
But rewatching for the millionth time I still wonder.. i know he could have just been happy they landed, but also I think he knew.. Is that known facts? Or are we to believe he had no idea the OG plan was to land?
If not, I’d imagine he wasn’t upset about it at the very least

I’m 23 and I was worried that it was going to be two kid like, but as a huge fan of the Jurassic franchise, I’m enjoying it pretty well so far. I’m pretty close to finishing season two but I’m surprised how well it’s able to capture the vibe and some of the themes are pretty serious. I’m wondering if the show is pretty well liked by other fans that are older.

so jurassic park has been my favourite film since i was a wee girl (28, scottish, disappointed at john hammond accent) but i’ve never read the books!

finding it difficult to decipher which are canon and not. can someone point me in the right direction?

checked this sub but there’s so many that i’m overwhelmed.

After the death of Eddie, Ludlow states that they had originally planned to avoid the raptors and other predators by staying near the permiter of the island, where the herbivores were (according to Hammond and their satellite imagery). If Ludlow and the InGen team not been sabotaged by Nick, Jurassic Park San Diego would've consisted of a park only of herbivores.

During the destruction of the camp, the vehicle that exploded and goes flying towards Roland and Ajay couldn't have flown more than a hundred yards- Roland's plan was to lure the T-Rex(es) to within a football field's distance of the camp and hope that the Rex didn't come from that direction and kill everybody on its way?

I don't know if this is the right flair, but that's it, I need to see Isla Sorna again at least one last time, I don't want notes on an in-universe website saying that the dinosaurs there no longer exist, no, I need a visible conclusion.

Before we had Jurassic World, I asked myself: "What happened to Nublar?" and that was answered and I liked it (well, except for the part where the volcano destroys Nublar), but Fallen Kingdom came along and I was like: "Okay... but what about Isla Sorna?" and this was not answered directly, we had another movie and now two animated series and... nothing, ok one can argue that maybe the mother and daughter T-Rex and Spino are from Sorna and that the two T-Rex that appear at the end of Dominion are maybe the ones from The Lost World, but... that is not enough, I want to see Sorna again, how am I going to be able to move forward with the franchise and forget about the islands if they don't even show Sorna one last time? Before you ask, yes, I like The Lost World and JPIII, which must be why I want to see Sorna, but it doesn't have to be in a movie, it could be in a single episode of Chaos Theory or a short film, even a comic or game that was canon and showed Sorna one last time, I would accept it, such is my restlessness to see Sorna again, in a way this is kind of nostalgia, and I doubt that years ago I would think I would be nostalgic for Isla Sorna, but that's what we've come to.

Am I alone in this or does anyone else really want to see Sorna one last time?.

The problem with TLW is that the T rex mainland section leaves a sour taste in your mouth at the end of the movie, which makes you forget that the movie prior to that is actually great. The trailer scene, long grass, Rexes at the camp, and every Roland scene was great.

If you edit out Kelly's raptor kill and end the movie before they go to San Diego you've got an 8/10 movie, and the only worthy sequel of the entire franchise.

Copied off a picture I found of one of the original menaces from the first film.

HI EVERYONE!! I'm starting a new series where i create wildlife range maps for dinosaurs in the JP/JW communit. This is my first map so sorry if it isn't perfect

Disclaimer: This map is NOT cannon. I'm using the information we have from the movies and series and the dino tracker website. Also if u are willing to use this map please give me credit and don't steal please.

Imagine a scenario where say all the hunters have been killed and roland is the only one alive on Isla sorna. How long do you think he would last by himself?

I'd argue it is the best shot in the movie

It is in harsh, broad daylight, you feel the weight of the rex, and it is acting naturally in its environment.

I also love how when it ducks it's head into the thick of the Gallimimus herd it misses at first, just like sharks do when they dive into a school of fish.

It's crazy that this came out in 1993. It blows a lot of modern stuff out of the water.

And as awesome inspiring as this scene is, I bet seeing the real t rex hunt was another matter entirely.

After looking at the comments from my previous post about this hybrid, I decided to modify the original design to make the Chimeravenator. This time I made the arms longer to make it a facultative biped as well as help it grab crabs better. Plus I made the front claws webbed so that it could swim through the water better. I’m planning on doing the color palette next. As far as any other changes I should make, please let me know what you think I should do.

This subject grinds my gears to the nth degree and I just got a heap of downvotes for it so it's time to take some folks to school.

People are convinced that the main T-Rex in the series (since JW became a thing anyway) is literally called "Rexy", if JW calls her this then it's simply retconning the franchise, which I can well believe they want to do.

However, to anybody who says this stems from the book as Muldoon calls her "Rexy" I have gone to the effort to prove that this is false and he never uses it as a given name, it is purely a derogatory abbreviation (remember that Muldoon does not like the Dinosaurs, think they should all be destroyed and would not give such an animal a whimsical cutesy name).

Now, the predominant terminology is T-Rex / Tyrannosaurus / Tyrannosaurus Rex or most commonly Tyrannosaur. She is also often referred to as being the big tyrannosaur / rex.

I feel that if this animal was literally named, Crichton would use this himself, yet there are two chapters dealing expressly with this particular T rex and they are titled "BIG REX" and "Tyrannosaur".

Although referred to by numerous characters, a name would be given by those who were most familiar - so let's look at the characters who actually work at the park and directly refer to the adult T-Rex.

Wu / Hammond / Arnold / Regis / Harding / Muldoon.

There are so many instances of the word tyrannosaur I haven't created an exhaustive list, I've focused on pages and dialogue about the adult specifically to ensure it is in the correct context. (Page numbers may vary depending on your copy of the book)

So here we go:

Pg.122 - Wu “we tend to refer to some of them as male, such as the tyrannosaurus rex, we all call it a ‘him’ but in fact, they’re all female".

*(*Here, Wu makes it clear he's referring to an 'it', so singular and 'it' is not a very polite pronoun for something / someone wit a name. It's more like a product/exhibit.)

Pg. 161 Chapter “BIG REX - (if this animal was actually named “Rexy”, I feel Crichton would have done so here.)

When discussing “the little one” Ed Regis says “The other one’s *a full grown adult tyrannosaur…”*Pg165. Chrichton “waiting for the T-Rex to appear”

**Pg166. "**The tyrannosaurs' jaws worked once / the tyrannosaur sprang silently forward/ still the tyrannosaur hesitated…thus this tyrannosaur was probably fearful of another tyrannosaur".

Pg167. *“*Ladies and Gentlemen - Tyrannosaurus Rex".

Pg201. “Maybe the tyrannosaur” (Chrichton). Pg203 *“ '*was it the tyrannosaur?' Ed Regis asked"

Pg 204/205 multiple references to tyrannosaur. 

Pg232 “had been in the Land Cruiser when the tyrannosaur attacked” (Chrichton)

Pg 236 Regis is contemplating his actions “except to get away from the tyrannosaur” (Chrichton)

Pg238 “maybe the tyrannosaur was still hanging around”

(Now for themost important evidence - even Muldoon does not name her / him. If it was her name, it would be frequent).

Pg247/248 Muldoon: “No question what happened…the T-Rex got him” Pg248 “The T-Rex threw it" (referring to a Land Cruiser).

Crucially, this next dialogue proves that nobody integral to the running of the park names it:

Pg279 Arnold: “Looks like the Rex went into the sauropod paddock..we’ll have to get him out..”

Muldoon: “With what? We haven’t got anything to use on a rex”

Hammond: “How many sauropods will the Rex kill?”

Harding: “Probably just one… the Rex can feed…" Muldoon: “that’s a full grown adult tyrannosaur..” “...that tyrannosaur..”

Pg280 Muldoon: “Well now you’ve got a Rex in with the sauropods. 

(Now 300 pages in we have the first time Rexy is used, quickly followed by reverting to the classification of a thing again with no personification.)

Pg303 Muldoon: “No doubt about it, Rexy’s been in with the sauropods…the rex is out there somewhere.

Pg304 Muldoon referring to a young hadrosaur: “the T-Rex brought him down..” bite marks > “the T-Rex”

Pg308 Muldoon: “Where the hell is the damn Rex?”

(Now the second chapter, and one where if it were her name, Crichton could have used it appropriately)

Pg322 Chapter “TYRANNOSAUR” - referred to as him, the rex and the animal on one single page.

“Remember” said Arnold “ *the tyrannosaur’*s our main tourtist attraction” (not are our - so not plural, they are referring to the adult)

Muldoon: “Let’s go see Rexy and give him a dose” (That's the second and final time followed by....).

“I’ve wanted to put a needle in this big bastard for a while…and there he is” 

“Tyrannosaurus Rex is eight tons” (again this implies the adult and not the juvenile) Muldoon to Gennaro.

And finally, Pg324 “I think this is as close as we can get to our Rexy” (This clearly indicates it's an abbreviation, and it is stated that Ellie find Muldoons sense of humour to be irritating, so this is his idea of whimsy).

Pg334 Muldoon: “I know it’s a valuable animal” (and when told they need to move the t rex in case it drowns, his response does not afford the Rex any sort of humanised value.

Given the context of these extracts, I don't see how anyone can argue that the Original Rex is in any capacity literally named "Rexy". It is a fabrication which stems from the JW trilogy for marketing reasons, however those raptors (Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo) are actually named.
