Honestly, for the raptors, I would think Dakotaraptor (discovered way after the movie) is the closest fit to the JP raptors, at over 4m long and being close to 2m tall. Jurassic Park started quite an interesting trend for raptors in the 90s. Whilst the original creatures were no quite as scary as media would suggest they were depicted as these savage, mysterious ultimate killing machines. Quite scary, in fact I believe there are tidbits in the original novel indicating that these creatures are not in fact velociraptors, that Dr Alan Grant doesn't know what species they are... As for the Rex, I honestly can't understand why some people have their knickers in a twist over it's supposed innacuracies. Modern Tyrannosaur depictions are essentially the Jurassic Park T.rex, but with more muscle and lips. Tyrannosaurus, of all theropods, has a very distinctive skull shape, and it is clearly recognisable, albeit not completely accurate in the "Roberta" animatronic.
the books and movies do admit they don’t have “real” dinosaurs in the stories cause dna is added none of them are pure dinos. They were augmented to for entertainment value
But feathers!!!! I'm sorry but couldn't resist. How about in Agnes Gru's voice referring to some of the baby dinosaurs that might have had downy like feathers when young. "They're so fluffy!!!".
Also another inaccuracy with Raptors are their pupil shape let me explain: The reason why animals like house cats and foxes have slit pupils is so that they can filter out objects on there horizontal plane of their Field of vision since their heads are roughly parallel to the ground. However this ability becomes worse as an animal gets taller (or in the case of birds higher) so animals like great apes big cats, wolves, Elephants, etc. have round pupils. So the velociraptors in Jurassic Park should also have rounded pupils.
Great vid, subbed. Also, off topic: haven’t seen JP1 in a while and - even while focusing on your narration - I’m blown away by the subtlety and nuance of the dinosaur effects, so much character is conveyed. To me, it’s even more noticeable after being so let down by Fallen Kingdumb and Dumbinion. Maybe a topic you will explore? A lot of the hardcore JP fans seem hopeful the next instalment will be a return to form. For this to happen, they need to practice what Stan Winston preached; “We don’t do special fx, we do characters.”
They need to lean harder on practical effects. The CGI is always going to have a place in the series, and Jurassic World did have some puppetry which was nice, but CGI is always best when it is used to COMPLIMENT, not replace, real physical effects.
@andreasstavrinou6219 Actually, that’s a rather funny thing. This is rather recent information. But paleontologists that are studying the hands and arm bones of Dilophosaurus, noticed a few things about it. Yes it is the vestigial, but it also lacks a claw; and appears to be tucked under the base area of the third digit. So the Paleontologist are theorizing that the fourth finger might actually be inside the mass of the hand. Meaning that if you look at a skeleton of Dilophosaurus, you will see four fingers, but if you saw the animal in the flesh, it would appear to only have three. This is also extremely ironic, seeing as throughout Jurassic Park/ World’s history; this animal has been portrayed as having either 3, 4, or 5 fingers! Especially in the toy lines. There are times I think they basically just roll a dice to see how many fingers it supposed to have.
Some things you may have forgot: Velociraptor: It should have circular pupils, and it wouldn’t hunt in packs Dilophosaurus: They omitted the notch in its top jaw and it’s skull is far too boxy Brachiosaurus: It’s head jump is too steep, it’s neck is way too thin, and it’s feet are just completely wrong (I didn’t catch anything for gallimimus) Triceratops: It shouldn’t have spikes at all if it’s an adult, if it is an adult it’s too small, the movie individual seems to be around 4m when it should be around 9 and the head should be more elongated. Parasaurolophus: YOUR PRONUNCIATION OF IT IS HORRIB- Also, the feet are wrong they should be hoofed, the beak is not the wright shape and it should be on all fours. Tyrannosaurus: It’s too skinny also its skull should be wider towards the back, giving it binocular vision and oh yeah it arms are too big and it’s second finger should be longer and it’s first claw should be hooked
*Correction:* Velociraptor probably did have slit pupils, due to the skeleton part around the eyes. For Dilophosaurus, they technically did add the notch, but it's only on the teeth, and you only see it when it snarls at Nedry in the car. Triceratops' feet are wrong, as well as Brachiosaurus. Trike's front feet should look like hands, and the Brachi should have pillar-like front feet and turtle-like back feet.
17:16 CORRECTION: Adult T.rexs did have Feathers but they are very small do to there hot environment. & Also you have 2 things are wrong that you forgot to point out in Brachiosaurus 1 It show chewing on leaves that most sauropods like bachi couldn’t actually chew. And 2 Like the velociraptors are were cleary based on deinonychus the Brachiosaurus is clearly base on Giraffatitan the head shape looks resembles giraffatitan.
Velociraptor was barely larger than a chicken. It, along with it's fellow Velociraptorine Dromaeosaurs, such as Acheroraptor and Dineobellator, also had narrower snouts than Dromaeosaurine Dromaeosaurs like Dromaeosaurus, Deinonychus, Utahraptor and Dakotaraptor.
The Jurassic Park Velociraptors aren’t very in line with a Utahraptor when compared to deinonychus. Utahraptor was about twice the size of the JP raptors, and haven’t been found outside of Utah. Deinonychus however, are known from the Cloverly Fm outcropping in the Montana badlands, and while theyre a bit too small to match the jp raptors, they’re still closer than polar bear sized Utahraptor
There's another inaccuracy with Rex, and it's the shape of the teeth. They should be thick, conical teeth, and the film creators have actually admitted that they replaced the teeth with thin, blade like teeth, because they thought it looked scarier.
I do find the feathers thing very funny because only 2 out of 7 dinosaurs in the movie are known to have had then, all other 5 are perfectly good without them
I’m staying neutral on the whole feather argument until we have better fossils. A small number of postage stamp-sized scale impressions, is not enough evidence to be conclusive for either side. The skin impressions we have, are a small cluster around the base of the tail, a little postage stamp around the hip region, and one at the base of the neck; so far. This is enough evidence to see the T-Rex did have scaly skin, but there is also evidence to see that T-Rex probably didn’t have feathers in these regions of the body, but could’ve had feathers on other parts of the body. Again, staying neutral, until we have a better fossil evidence.
Honestly, I personally prefer to see the JP dinos less as pure dinosaurs and more as chimaeras that just have various dinosaurs as their base, which would explain some of the inaccurate stuff. At this point I actually prefer to argue the accuraccy/inaccuracy of various behaviours aka. hunting animals don't roar, an essay by me. On Dilophosaurus, they are definitly heinously inaccurate, but I would like to point out that the venom spitting is not entirely impossible. At least, if you are willing to replace 'venom' with 'regurgitated stomach contents' which is still not something you want to get hit by. There are several bird species who can do that and there would be zero fossil evidence of such a behaviour occuring.
3:53 not probably, just definitely had feathers. There is definitive evidence of this in fossils. I dont know why u are so mad about talking about feathers btw. Are you one of those people who are offended by reality because it doesn't look as cool as they want it to? Do you also have a problem with theropods most likely having lips?
If you really want to go on the T. rex feather thing; I’d recommend watching the videos made by TREY the Explainer. He goes into better detail about the topics in his two videos, then anything anyone’s come up with so far. Which also brings up a better point, I really hate how social media butchers all new discoveries. Not every Sauropod found is going to be the largest animal to ever exist ever! Or this new meat eating dinosaur is more terrifying than T. rex. Seriously, it needs to end!
I feel like the dilophosaurus was more inaccurate than the raptors. The raptors body type is fair for the time, the problems are the size, pronated wrists,and behaviors. The dilo was so weird and didn’t even have the distinctive tooth notch, nevermind the size or speculative features. Also I’m pretty sure we had some fair evidence for feathers in maniraptorans since before ‘93, could be wrong tho.( I’m thinking archaeopteryx, and velociraptor fossils?)
Jurassic Park should have been called Cretaceous Park, due to most of the dinosaurs featured being from the Cretaceous as opposed to the Jurassic (there's also no Triassic dinosaurs for some bizarre reason I cannot fathom. Surely they could have included Plateosaurus or Coelophysis???
Counter point. Archaeopteryx, the link between dinsoaurs snd birds, and the first evidence to suggest dinosaurs may have had festhers, was discovered in 1861. So whike bot fully confirmed the possibility was there for literal decades befor the movie came out. On the flipped side the theory itself wouldnt be substantiated until further evidence would show up, such as microrsotor in 1998 giving us the first hint that velociraptor and its relatives may have also been feathered.
One last thing. Dudes right. These movies came out in the early 90s and at that time rexy was not inly the most accurate dinosaur in the jp films but was the most up to date and accurate dinosaur in all of media. Keep on mine most of our modern rex deoiction, with the more forward facing eyes, and capping out at 15 mph, and the cushioned feet, and how huge their brains really were. Most of that didnt come up until much more recently. And despite this rexy still had relatively accurate portrayal at that time. Even more so than the novel, which feature tripod t-rex stance instead of dinosaur t-rex. Indeed most tof the therapods in the novel stood in that manner, from rexy to the dilophosaurs to the raptors, the only one that i think had a amodern stance was the compies. Which were describe rather early as standing horizontslly balancing with its tail.
Pretty much the only inaccuracy on the Rex, given the knowledge at the time (and I'm surprised this video doesn't even mention it), is the teeth are the wrong shape. Rex had thick, conical teeth, not the thin, blade like teeth in the movie. The film crew have actually stated the teeth replacement was intentional, because they thought the thinner, blade like teeth were scarier.
Dilo prob the worst design the poportions are wrong. It has the kink in the jaw kinda and crests, w decent sounds. Thats it. It doesnt have the right ammount of fingers and of course its to small, n the frill n venom, pronated wrists, r all nonos. The raptor is next. Too smart, pronated wrists, too big, wrong head shape for velo, no pack hunting. Mabye mobbing but prob not tbh, no feathers, prob no screaching. No Reptile eyes. The good things: bird like, had lips. Trike: got alot wrong. Eliphant feet, tail to long, wrong skin texture, wrong beak shape. No frill spikes on adults. Eye might be more like a goats, nostrils are wrong. Prob couldnt lay on its side like that. Para: porportions r all wrong: legs r too short, has no hooves on the front feet, wrong skin texture, too shrinkwrapped/ should be bulkier. Rex: rex is real good but it couldnt roar like that, wasnt fast, too skinny, wrong skin texture, pronated wrists, teeth r wrong, didnt stomp around, isnt blind. Brachy: based off giraffititan, head is wong, feet r wrong, couldnt rear up, too skinny and shrinkwrapped, couldnt sing like a whale, tail is too long, couldnt chew. Galli is real good here but its arms r too short, legs r kinda wrong, needs feathers, and prob didnt live in such large groups. Prob the best 1 here.
I love dinosaurs , but I hate Jurassic Park , would they treat an injured Rhino or Hippo like they do the Triceratops ?! It may be vegetarian , but it can still bite or kick or stab you with it's horn , a sick or injured animal is a dangerous animal ! 🦏🦖
2:00 Actually, they did, but feathers were impossible to achieve on CGI models back then
5:24 According to Crington he scaled up a Deinonychus to a gobi toe claw which wasn't yet assigned to Achilobator, a close relative of utahraptor
Yutaraptor 💀
@@mechwarrior13 Sorry not American
You are probably the first person I've heard talk about how not all dinosaurs had feathers, and I'm so happy for that.
The frills were taken from the Australian Frilled Lizard and the poison spit was taken from the Spitting Cobra.
If Pterosaur picnofibers are the same as feathers, doesn't that imply that feathers were ancestral to all dinosaurs?
Despite its scientific inaccuracies, Jurassic Park is still my favourite movie.
Honestly, for the raptors, I would think Dakotaraptor (discovered way after the movie) is the closest fit to the JP raptors, at over 4m long and being close to 2m tall.

This is an in universe excuse for why research-lazy design choices were made
But feathers!!!!
I'm sorry but couldn't resist.
How about in Agnes Gru's voice referring to some of the baby dinosaurs that might have had downy like feathers when young. "They're so fluffy!!!".
Also another inaccuracy with Raptors are their pupil shape let me explain:

velociraptors in Jurassic Park should also have rounded pupils.
See, what's funniest about that is that if the raptors were the correct size then the cat eyes could have been justified.
Pretty good video for real! I did see you did miss a couple things about some aspects of the animals but overall pretty entertaining :)

Another thing missing from the Dilophosaurus in JP is the forth Vestigeal finger on each forehand.❤

I really enjoyed this video. You should definitely consider doing the other films as well. Great job.

I vote that the scientific community and we as a society should just swap the names of velociraptor and deinonchyus and just be done with it.
I do find the feathers thing very funny because only 2 out of 7 dinosaurs in the movie are known to have had then, all other 5 are perfectly good without them

Is that the correct pronunciation for the Parasaurolophus
No, I often say it too quick and flub the pronunciation. I correct it in next week's video.
The Velociraptors are great movie creatures but terrible Velociraptors
make another.
Utahraptors are bigger the raptors in the movie
Why do you pronounce Parasaurolophus like that?
I had to look it up to make sure I'm not retarded
