No one respected them.
Yeah - the man who worked there had to point out to them all how important it was that the fence was there...he knew what was up and that you needed to have a healthy respect for these creatures.

Wow.... That would actually make a really eerie and creepy movie scene. I mean, I'm a very big fan of the franchise, but sometimes I think that a scene would be much scarier if the dinosaurs didn't roar as much ya know?
I need to read Jurassic Park book the fact that they left out a lot of good details were left out; this is why a rated R Jurassic Park would have gruesome but yet prove the point the author had in mind even more.
They have it on audio just got to search it up on youtube[ no shocker there] and when your listening to it stick with it the first half of the book is boring but important to the plot and think that was cool there a scene where muldoon hunts rexy with a rocketluncher
The delivery of Ian Malcolm‘s line and the lead up with him describing how most large predators aren’t born a man eaters is absolutely golden and gave me chills!
Personally, I was a huge fan of the raptors from the original film. Despite the fact, that it would later come to light...that the animals depicted, were more closely resembled by the Deinonychus which is Latin for "Terrible Claw" and that the Velociraptor was actually a much smaller animal. That being said, the depiction of their intelligence in the book...was downright terrifying. "You stare at him.....and he just stares right back...."
Well he looks at me And I look at him And he looks at me And I look at him And he looks at me And I look at him And he says "I'm sorry, What did you want again?" I say "Ketchup!" And he says "Oh yeah, that's right. I just spaced out there for a second, I'm really kind of burnt tonight"
The raptors LEARNING to attack humans, and the heavy implications in other material that they hadn't been socialized properly and behaved like that because of lack of learning, really puts into perspective just how unusual - and significant - Blue's relative calmness is in the Jurassic World series. A fun thing to consider; perhaps more raptors would have wound up like her if they'd been socialized better?
Interestingly, the book Carnosaur (which is FAR better than the movie and completely different) went the exact opposite route. In the book, all the Theropods and especially the Deinonychus see humans as easy food because of three factors. One, they instinctively would have eaten Mesozoic mammals as youngsters so they equate the smell of mammals to that of easy food. Two, because they were fed goats, pigs, and cattle in captivity, that behavior has been reinforced. Three, because mammals were preyed on by dinosaurs for so long in their evolutionary history, mammals in Carnosaur from lions to bulls to humans reactively feel terrified and skittish around dinosaurs and often default to fleeing; meaning they look like easy prey.

It's crazy that the Velociraptors in The Lost World were cannibals, feeding on their own kind, young or old, sick or dying, it didn't matter to them, because it's dinner for these vicious, intelligent carnivores.
I really wished JP3 would have played that instead of the “they’re a family who care about their young”. I loved the idea of that being learned from the older generation that Sorna didn’t have. The idea that once again man resurrected something they knew nothing about.
i read Lost World only once; not a page turner like Jurassic Park. i think they were cannibalistic due to over population, they were high on the foodchain, the animals on the island also had a shorter lifespan due to some deficiency
92bagder if I remember right, Malcolm??? Also stated that they behave so viciously towards each other because, while they instinctively use teamwork, they never learned to actually work together and establish a hierarchy among them, because that’s something they would need to have learned from their parents, which of course never happened since their parents are extinct. Something like that. It’s pretty interesting
It was also mentioned in The Lost World that the raptors had some kind of mad cow disease like prion they got from a batch of sheep early in the days of Site B. They tried but they were never able to eliminate it while it was operational.
It's mentioned that because the Sorna raptors were never introduced to a patriarchy containing older adults who pass on knowledge and ettiquette, they basically all fended for themselves. It's like a group of desperate, vicious survivors working together out of necessity over a co-ordinated family unit that works as a pack to the benefit of each member. After the storm hit Site-B and it was later abandoned, it became pretty much a Lord of the Flies scenario for the Sorna raptors who never had any adults to reign them in and teach them basic morals. They were all juveniles and discovered the strongest and most vicious survive and the weak will die. Each animal was all about itself. Working in a pack simply made it convenient to seize prey. This made a lethal carnivore even more of a threat. It really angers me this wasn't picked up by Joe Johnston in Jurassic Park 3. I suppose the feathered maternal raptors played a big part of the script and they just ran with it which kind of crapped on established story. To this day, I still don't consider JP 3 canon. It's like a poor fan-fic that cannibalized elements of Crichton's novels.
Raptors were a nightmare in the novel. I love the dark tone of it. The death of Henry Wu and Arnold is just frightening. Such a good narration. Another dark scene (in my opinion) is the death of Dennis Nedry, in the book is more dark than the movie like thousand times. Thank you for the video, good images and a perfect narration.
You know, I love the novel a lot. This scene gave me chills when I was reading this alone at home. Imagine this of this was in the movie. The three that attacked the fence probably inspired the Big One and her two subordinates. Maybe you can explain novel Lex's strong connection with Ralph the baby triceratops and Clarence, the wild young raptor. Pin me. I watched this.
I love the dialog between Malcolm and Grant about how the raptors learned that man was an easy target. Gave me a chill the first time I read it and still does when I think about it.
That's right, but they never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknesses, systematically. They remember....(Robert Muldoon, 1993)
@@MultiRooker or as jedi master obi wan once said " from a certain point of view" But for real though the world films didn't hide that they treated the rex and raptors as super heroes saving the day.
@@charlespickett3274 blue was the least vicious because of her dna not because of some bond. The other raptors have different genetics from each other as well. Why the hell are there not 4 blues instead of 4 different types of raptors with varying degrees of viciousness and obedience in the first world film I'll never know.
Just like today's lions, tigers, some crocodilians, and leopards, this just shows how vicious and deadly these raptors are especially when it comes to developing a taste for human flesh like they did for the first time in Jurassic Park. In fact according to Wikipedia, Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved lions, tigers, leopards, and crocodilians. However, they are by no means the only predators that will attack humans if given the chance; a wide variety of species have also been known to adopt humans as usual prey, including bears, Komodo dragons and hyenas. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-eater
From 2:32 onward, I had a chill up my spine constantly. The sound effects, the visuals and your narration made this scene more than it already was when I read it in the book. Top marks good sir.
This scene in the novel chilled me to the bone. It made me shiver and quake. To know that this animal, quick, lithe, agile, extremely intelligent, could coordinate an attack of that kind, and be zapped and shake it off, then back into the brush just made me tremble. It was a scene that took forever to get out of my head. And the sight of the eyes was just insane. And to know that they (the raptors) have since discovered that humans are easy to kill, it brings home why every park worker is so terrified of them. I loved this scene in the book, and it would be super cool if they could have incorporated it into the films. Though something of this kind has been seen in Jurassic World, when Owen tries to calm them, and one of the raptors has its snout jammed viciously between the bars of its enclosure, it would be awesome to see this tense scene somehow incorporated into the first film. But not seeing the animals until near the end gave us more chilling ideas as to what these animals were like when seen on screen
Not that I don't like the idea of the Raptors sharing a bond with the protagonist in the JW films, but going back to the books and the first 2 films really makes me miss how terrifying they portrayed these animals. IMO, what makes them so sinister is not that they made them out to be the villain per say, but how their behavior is so natural and instinctual. Like we know they've established their part of the food chain
That scene is one of my favorite's in the book. The alien, reptilian hunting of Ingen's raptors sent thrills down my spine the first time I read it. And it's easy to imagine that the death of the worker at the beginning of the movie might've given the creatures a similar impression of the frailty of their "controllers". Great video, as usual, and have a nice day. :)
I read the book in 1997 when I was 10, and even to this day I remember the very beginning when a badly mauled park worker gets brought to a doctor and struggles to say "velociraptor." Chilling way to start out.
Hi Klayton, just watched The Lost World for the millionth time but only just noticed something. Wondering if you spotted it too? After the T-Rex attack on the trailer, the survivors are walking in the rain. The scene in particular, Nick van Owen talking to Roland Tembo. He offers him a piece of gum, offer gets declined. After that you see Nick unwrapping one for himself, but throws the wrapper on the ground. Van Owen is an environmentalist, he wouldn't do such thing, correct? Is it an error on the actors part or bad writing or is there a reason for that? Cheers!
In the novel, someone dropped a candy bar wrapper out if the high hide & that how the raptors discovered it. Not sure if they were playing off this part of the book or if in times of stress, normal behaviors go out the window. I need to go back and watch it again. Good job catahcing that.
Could it be an attempt at sabotaging InGen's mercenary group which was Nick's secondary task from Hammond himself? Intentionally dropping a scented wrapper to draw predators to the group? Yes, it means a risk to his own group but I mean - he removed ammunition from Tembo's rifle. You could argue this is also reckless as you are disarming one more person who could potentially be able to defend you from an attack. I'd say Nick has his scruples and those drive him.
You really are a very accomplished video producer and presenter Klayton. Watching the evolution of your style and content since the early days is remarkable. You structure and pace the video's perfectly nowadays in ways that other TH-cam presenters probably only wonder at. Very professional and enjoyable sir.
I love these videos where you read the original books. You bring even more excitement and emotion to them. Would love a playlist series where you read the book in order. Keep up the good work man.
I always love these videos going back to the book and incorporating visuals like this. Great work!! I get chills when Malcolm makes the point about lions. Too bad we couldn’t get this scene in the movie!
I still don’t know if the dead sauropod skeleton in The Lost World at the raptor nest is their kill. Or if they just found it and built their nest around it. And took some Arby’s home
My guess is that they probably found it, most likely when it had died and the smell lured many Raptors to the area for free food, and since they were all there anyway they just figured, "Hey, this is as good a spot as any for a nesting ground."
It was implied it died of the virus imposed by a negligent diet with sheep extract. It was given to the carnivores, which caught it, hunted and occasionally failed- injuring and passing off the virus to the herbivores. The virus was deadly and often killed the affected, especially larger specimens. Compys were least affected later on because the breed so fast and abundantly that those with the strongest immune systems beat out the virus into nothing via breeding alone. Sauropods and otherwise would become extinct in a few years- as stated by Malcoms chaos theory.
It may seem like you are talking fast but honestly the scene plays out just as fast in the novel. It completely comes out of nowhere and is so fast and intense.
I did always wonder why the raptors were always trying to kill and eat EVERY human they came across but then I read the book and Malcolm’s conclusion made sense. Even Owen’s raptors in JW seem to have realized humans are easy prey (when Owen tells the pig handler “Did you wonder why there was a job opening...”)
Silly anecdote but.. I stumbled right onto a timber rattlesnake a few weeks back while on a hike with my one year old son (in a backpack baby carrier). The way the snake's warning sizzle sounded made it blend in with the noise of the oak leaves in the canopy above as the wind picked up, or even some larger animal coming down through the bushes toward me, so my attention went up and away from my feet. Ten it REALLY made a noise with its rattle and I jumped a mile high as I had almost stepped right on it. But then I had a chance to just watch the beast. It stared at me coiled and ready to strike if I dared come close again. I tossed a couple deterrents toward it in hopes it would get off the trail and let me by (turning around would have added an hour to my walk and the baby needed to get home sooner than that), and it simply refused to react. It just stared into my eyes like an alien reptilian intelligence. I hated it.

“Not from the front, but from the sides” That quote from the book would make it directly into Grant’s speech to the kid at the dig site in the first movie.
This scene brought me back to watching the introduction of the first movie and being completely scared out of my mind at age 7........a great but chilling memory.
I feel like this was a missed opportunity to mention the fact that in the first novel and possibly the movie too. The raptors actually killed for pleasure
I Love how Energetic you got reading the Attack really emphasizing the sudden Intensity. While a Tyrannosaur is the Apex on Land the Raptors would be my most feared given their Unrelenting Ferocity. Specifically these Raptors; the 3 ones would only go after you (because you know why) and usually leave you alone after but these...Sadly it's probably the last we'll ever 'see' them like this again. Great read the book is.
I've read the book twice, listen to the audio book three times and seen the movie more than a dozen times. The book and the audio book give me chills every time. So does the Lost World book and audio book.

You’re a beast for this one, well done! It would have been cool if the first JP movie touched on the raptor nest and the raptors “migration”. Would have been interesting to see how they put that to the screen.
For years I promised myself I'd one day finish the book. I'm now starting the grid. It's amazing. I'd love to see this on the big screen, the way the novel was written. Maybe some day. This was pretty cool.
Great video. Enjoyed it a lot. You did the scene justice. Would've loved to have seen a variation on this on screen. Mind you it doesn't get much better than what's in the original movie as is.
Holy crap. Can you do an audio reading of the book! You'd be PERFECT! You have a love of the series and your voice, mannerisms carry weight! I'd be all for waiting months for a chapter release.

Wow.... That would actually make a really eerie and creepy movie scene. I mean, I'm a very big fan of the franchise, but sometimes I think that a scene would be much scarier if the dinosaurs didn't roar as much ya know?
yes, and real dinosaurs most likely made many sounds besides roaring. the 2 legged ones are after all, ancestors of birds.
I am 100
And I’d love to see this scene played as horror.
I need to read Jurassic Park book the fact that they left out a lot of good details were left out; this is why a rated R Jurassic Park would have gruesome but yet prove the point the author had in mind even more.
Well a tv series could probably accomplish that.
@@kenpoarniceguy1
I'd worry for that due to tv shows having less budget than movies but at the same time it would be interesting if they got it right.
@@Darkcyndermaya Yeah. That is a good point. So long as it's not like those SyFy ones.
What about a remake, only with the script being altered to be more like the books? I'd be up for a R rated JP any day.
They have it on audio just got to search it up on youtube[ no shocker there] and when your listening to it stick with it the first half of the book is boring but important to the plot and think that was cool there a scene where muldoon hunts rexy with a rocketluncher
It's really a good foreshadowing about how deadly these beats are.
Yeah, listen to them beats
This is the best comment I have ever seen on TH-cam.
Some real deadly beats
Dr Dre has entered the chat🤣🤣
yea killer beats right
The delivery of Ian Malcolm‘s line and the lead up with him describing how most large predators aren’t born a man eaters is absolutely golden and gave me chills!
Personally, I was a huge fan of the raptors from the original film. Despite the fact, that it would later come to light...that the animals depicted, were more closely resembled by the Deinonychus which is Latin for "Terrible Claw" and that the Velociraptor was actually a much smaller animal. That being said, the depiction of their intelligence in the book...was downright terrifying. "You stare at him.....and he just stares right back...."
Well he looks at me
And I look at him
And he looks at me
And I look at him
And he looks at me
And I look at him
And he says "I'm sorry,
What did you want again?"
I say "Ketchup!"
And he says "Oh yeah, that's right.
I just spaced out there for a second,
I'm really kind of burnt tonight"
The raptors LEARNING to attack humans, and the heavy implications in other material that they hadn't been socialized properly and behaved like that because of lack of learning, really puts into perspective just how unusual - and significant - Blue's relative calmness is in the Jurassic World series. A fun thing to consider; perhaps more raptors would have wound up like her if they'd been socialized better?
Not from the front..
But from the side
*WOOSH*
And the other two raptors, you never even knew we're there.
@Mr. Cairo *nods nervously*
Lions will actually hunt wildebeest, zebra, etc in this exact same way too.
Interestingly, the book Carnosaur (which is FAR better than the movie and completely different) went the exact opposite route. In the book, all the Theropods and especially the Deinonychus see humans as easy food because of three factors. One, they instinctively would have eaten Mesozoic mammals as youngsters so they equate the smell of mammals to that of easy food. Two, because they were fed goats, pigs, and cattle in captivity, that behavior has been reinforced. Three, because mammals were preyed on by dinosaurs for so long in their evolutionary history, mammals in Carnosaur from lions to bulls to humans reactively feel terrified and skittish around dinosaurs and often default to fleeing; meaning they look like easy prey.

Hard to find but well worth it. It has a plot surprisingly similar to Fallen Kingdom in a few spots. Just skip the random sex scene if you get it.
@@joseph_b319 Just a memo. Your best bet is probably Ebay. I got my copy there. Amazon is also a good source. It'll probably be a bit beaten up as mine has some damaged pages and worn cover; but still perfectly legible.

@@noevism Carnotaurus is a specie; Carnosaur is a generic term for the larger therapods
“That doesn’t look very scary! More like a 6-foot turkey!”
Ironically a more scientifically accurate description than what we see in the films.
Then what would the Indo-raptor be? 8-foot? 10-foot? More?
@@growlie2676 12 foot kitty cat turkey.
More like a regular sized turkey
OG VH how is a 6 foot turkey more accurate than the film's interpretation of the Velociraptor?..

‘Be glad for that fence, señor’
What a brilliant, ominous quote
It's crazy that the Velociraptors in The Lost World were cannibals, feeding on their own kind, young or old, sick or dying, it didn't matter to them, because it's dinner for these vicious, intelligent carnivores.
I really wished JP3 would have played that instead of the “they’re a family who care about their young”. I loved the idea of that being learned from the older generation that Sorna didn’t have. The idea that once again man resurrected something they knew nothing about.
i read Lost World only once; not a page turner like Jurassic Park. i think they were cannibalistic due to over population, they were high on the foodchain, the animals on the island also had a shorter lifespan due to some deficiency
92bagder if I remember right, Malcolm??? Also stated that they behave so viciously towards each other because, while they instinctively use teamwork, they never learned to actually work together and establish a hierarchy among them, because that’s something they would need to have learned from their parents, which of course never happened since their parents are extinct. Something like that. It’s pretty interesting
It was also mentioned in The Lost World that the raptors had some kind of mad cow disease like prion they got from a batch of sheep early in the days of Site B. They tried but they were never able to eliminate it while it was operational.
It's mentioned that because the Sorna raptors were never introduced to a patriarchy containing older adults who pass on knowledge and ettiquette, they basically all fended for themselves. It's like a group of desperate, vicious survivors working together out of necessity over a co-ordinated family unit that works as a pack to the benefit of each member.
After the storm hit Site-B and it was later abandoned, it became pretty much a Lord of the Flies scenario for the Sorna raptors who never had any adults to reign them in and teach them basic morals. They were all juveniles and discovered the strongest and most vicious survive and the weak will die. Each animal was all about itself. Working in a pack simply made it convenient to seize prey.
This made a lethal carnivore even more of a threat.
It really angers me this wasn't picked up by Joe Johnston in Jurassic Park 3. I suppose the feathered maternal raptors played a big part of the script and they just ran with it which kind of crapped on established story. To this day, I still don't consider JP 3 canon. It's like a poor fan-fic that cannibalized elements of Crichton's novels.
Raptors were a nightmare in the novel. I love the dark tone of it. The death of Henry Wu and Arnold is just frightening. Such a good narration. Another dark scene (in my opinion) is the death of Dennis Nedry, in the book is more dark than the movie like thousand times. Thank you for the video, good images and a perfect narration.
Crichton was a genius, lawyer, Director and writer man wish he was still around his type is rare...
The book Rising Sun was great
I thought he was a medical doctor and not a lawyer. Didn’t help write the show ER based on his experience?
And fucking cancer took him away from us. ☹️
Never mess with Raptors!
The Basketball Team or the actual animal?
KSound Kaiju The animal.
( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
Especially microraptors. Hate them. They are so hard to hit.
You know, I love the novel a lot. This scene gave me chills when I was reading this alone at home. Imagine this of this was in the movie. The three that attacked the fence probably inspired the Big One and her two subordinates.
Maybe you can explain novel Lex's strong connection with Ralph the baby triceratops and Clarence, the wild young raptor.
Pin me. I watched this.
Just pinned someone :)
@@KlaytonFioriti Why not me!? I wanna be pinned! I deserve it! 😭
Perfect example of why I love your channel man. Have a blessed day everyone
I love the dialog between Malcolm and Grant about how the raptors learned that man was an easy target. Gave me a chill the first time I read it and still does when I think about it.
Ya better watch out ya better not cry velociraptors are coming tonight look at what happened to Muldoon!
My name is Kolby Hackett R.I.P. Muldoon
Muldoon actually survives in the book, however, his actor irl died. R.I.P. :(
Yeah guess I should have said this comment is canon to the movie series
He survived in the book
That's right, but they never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknesses, systematically. They remember....(Robert Muldoon, 1993)
Crichton made these Raptors amazingly intelligent.
Yet, NO Jurassic-movie could be without our beloved antagonists, turned savages, turned characters, turned heroes :D
They shouldn't be heroes
@@TheJuicyJediJester It's merely a matter of perspective ;)
@@MultiRooker or as jedi master obi wan once said " from a certain point of view"
But for real though the world films didn't hide that they treated the rex and raptors as super heroes saving the day.
Blue was a likable raptor raised by Owen Grady in Jurassic world, they had a closed bond.
@@charlespickett3274 blue was the least vicious because of her dna not because of some bond.
The other raptors have different genetics from each other as well.
Why the hell are there not 4 blues instead of 4 different types of raptors with varying degrees of viciousness and obedience in the first world film I'll never know.
You narrate so well and id love to hear the whole books read by you.
Just like today's lions, tigers, some crocodilians, and leopards, this just shows how vicious and deadly these raptors are especially when it comes to developing a taste for human flesh like they did for the first time in Jurassic Park. In fact according to Wikipedia, Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved lions, tigers, leopards, and crocodilians. However, they are by no means the only predators that will attack humans if given the chance; a wide variety of species have also been known to adopt humans as usual prey, including bears, Komodo dragons and hyenas.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-eater
I remember reading this! GREAT use of foreshadowing on Crichton's part of just HOW intelligent and deadly the raptors were!
I think you should be given an award for telling such good stories
From 2:32 onward, I had a chill up my spine constantly. The sound effects, the visuals and your narration made this scene more than it already was when I read it in the book. Top marks good sir.
This scene in the novel chilled me to the bone. It made me shiver and quake. To know that this animal, quick, lithe, agile, extremely intelligent, could coordinate an attack of that kind, and be zapped and shake it off, then back into the brush just made me tremble. It was a scene that took forever to get out of my head. And the sight of the eyes was just insane. And to know that they (the raptors) have since discovered that humans are easy to kill, it brings home why every park worker is so terrified of them. I loved this scene in the book, and it would be super cool if they could have incorporated it into the films. Though something of this kind has been seen in Jurassic World, when Owen tries to calm them, and one of the raptors has its snout jammed viciously between the bars of its enclosure, it would be awesome to see this tense scene somehow incorporated into the first film. But not seeing the animals until near the end gave us more chilling ideas as to what these animals were like when seen on screen
Not that I don't like the idea of the Raptors sharing a bond with the protagonist in the JW films, but going back to the books and the first 2 films really makes me miss how terrifying they portrayed these animals. IMO, what makes them so sinister is not that they made them out to be the villain per say, but how their behavior is so natural and instinctual. Like we know they've established their part of the food chain
Same here. I admit I love Blue and everything but I want to see the original Raptor variants from the first 2 films so bad
I feel like velociraptors lose there scare factor when blue,Charlie,echo and delta are introduced
It’s funny that I was thinking of there would be a new video today and a notification came up in a nick of time.
Another Jurassic park novel video
Yay
Really, really enjoyed this one. Nice job as always my friend!
My god... Everytime when I hear hear any piece of this book, I remind myself how good that book was...
That scene is one of my favorite's in the book. The alien, reptilian hunting of Ingen's raptors sent thrills down my spine the first time I read it. And it's easy to imagine that the death of the worker at the beginning of the movie might've given the creatures a similar impression of the frailty of their "controllers". Great video, as usual, and have a nice day. :)
I read the book in 1997 when I was 10, and even to this day I remember the very beginning when a badly mauled park worker gets brought to a doctor and struggles to say "velociraptor." Chilling way to start out.
The bite of the raptor! Quite an intro.
Hi Klayton, just watched The Lost World for the millionth time but only just noticed something. Wondering if you spotted it too? After the T-Rex attack on the trailer, the survivors are walking in the rain. The scene in particular, Nick van Owen talking to Roland Tembo. He offers him a piece of gum, offer gets declined. After that you see Nick unwrapping one for himself, but throws the wrapper on the ground. Van Owen is an environmentalist, he wouldn't do such thing, correct? Is it an error on the actors part or bad writing or is there a reason for that? Cheers!
In the novel, someone dropped a candy bar wrapper out if the high hide & that how the raptors discovered it. Not sure if they were playing off this part of the book or if in times of stress, normal behaviors go out the window. I need to go back and watch it again. Good job catahcing that.
Could it be an attempt at sabotaging InGen's mercenary group which was Nick's secondary task from Hammond himself? Intentionally dropping a scented wrapper to draw predators to the group? Yes, it means a risk to his own group but I mean - he removed ammunition from Tembo's rifle. You could argue this is also reckless as you are disarming one more person who could potentially be able to defend you from an attack. I'd say Nick has his scruples and those drive him.
Well he does have a tendency of putting people in harms way and some environmentalists evolve into eco-terrorists
You really are a very accomplished video producer and presenter Klayton. Watching the evolution of your style and content since the early days is remarkable. You structure and pace the video's perfectly nowadays in ways that other TH-cam presenters probably only wonder at. Very professional and enjoyable sir.
I love these videos where you read the original books. You bring even more excitement and emotion to them.
Would love a playlist series where you read the book in order.
Keep up the good work man.
I always love these videos going back to the book and incorporating visuals like this. Great work!! I get chills when Malcolm makes the point about lions. Too bad we couldn’t get this scene in the movie!
I still don’t know if the dead sauropod skeleton in The Lost World at the raptor nest is their kill. Or if they just found it and built their nest around it. And took some Arby’s home
My guess is that they probably found it, most likely when it had died and the smell lured many Raptors to the area for free food, and since they were all there anyway they just figured, "Hey, this is as good a spot as any for a nesting ground."
It was implied it died of the virus imposed by a negligent diet with sheep extract. It was given to the carnivores, which caught it, hunted and occasionally failed- injuring and passing off the virus to the herbivores. The virus was deadly and often killed the affected, especially larger specimens.
Compys were least affected later on because the breed so fast and abundantly that those with the strongest immune systems beat out the virus into nothing via breeding alone.
Sauropods and otherwise would become extinct in a few years- as stated by Malcoms chaos theory.
Videos like these are the reason I am reading the two books as soon as I can.
This scene was so chilling and I loved it and you've done an excellent job on capturing the essence of this scene.
Your narrating really makes this incredibly tense! reading this for the first time this summer really shook me!
It may seem like you are talking fast but honestly the scene plays out just as fast in the novel. It completely comes out of nowhere and is so fast and intense.
Alan: oh my God, he's calling for help
Paul Kirby: c'mon
I loved how you read the excerpt and incorporated images and sounds from the films. It made it more intriguing.
I did always wonder why the raptors were always trying to kill and eat EVERY human they came across but then I read the book and Malcolm’s conclusion made sense. Even Owen’s raptors in JW seem to have realized humans are easy prey (when Owen tells the pig handler “Did you wonder why there was a job opening...”)
This has to be the best narration and presentation of the chapter. Persection.
Amazing way of narrating it the way you made it out like there was no fence as really well said
Silly anecdote but.. I stumbled right onto a timber rattlesnake a few weeks back while on a hike with my one year old son (in a backpack baby carrier). The way the snake's warning sizzle sounded made it blend in with the noise of the oak leaves in the canopy above as the wind picked up, or even some larger animal coming down through the bushes toward me, so my attention went up and away from my feet. Ten it REALLY made a noise with its rattle and I jumped a mile high as I had almost stepped right on it.
But then I had a chance to just watch the beast. It stared at me coiled and ready to strike if I dared come close again. I tossed a couple deterrents toward it in hopes it would get off the trail and let me by (turning around would have added an hour to my walk and the baby needed to get home sooner than that), and it simply refused to react. It just stared into my eyes like an alien reptilian intelligence. I hated it.
Seriously you need to be doing more of this narration! You are perfect at this! We need a full length reading
All I know is I’m loving ur channel I’m not a strong reader at all for many medical reasons so channels like urs that brings stuff from the books to life like this is awesome keep up the great work and thanks
something that has always played in my mind when it comes to creature behaviour is this "no creature kills without reason not even humans"
Cats
Sounds great everytime u mention a part from the novel u make me want to get the book and read it again and that part would make a great scene for the Jurassic Park scene when they see the raptors for the first time.
I never knew how badly I needed to read the actually Jurassic Park series until this video, they sound even more amazing than the movie was
😀Same here! I never read the book but I finally got a copy and I've been trying to read it every night. I haven't gotten to the part where they made it to the island yet but it hasn't disappointed me. Especially with the stuff that was left out 😨
I don’t know if it would ever be possible, but I’d LOVE to hear you read both novels completely. You read this part so well
Wow! I love this scene from the novel. And the way you read! You should narrate an audio book with the expression and tones you use! Great video!

“Not from the front, but from the sides”
That quote from the book would make it directly into Grant’s speech to the kid at the dig site in the first movie.
This scene brought me back to watching the introduction of the first movie and being completely scared out of my mind at age 7........a great but chilling memory.
I feel like this was a missed opportunity to mention the fact that in the first novel and possibly the movie too. The raptors actually killed for pleasure
I Love how Energetic you got reading the Attack really emphasizing the sudden Intensity. While a Tyrannosaur is the Apex on Land the Raptors would be my most feared given their Unrelenting Ferocity. Specifically these Raptors; the 3 ones would only go after you (because you know why) and usually leave you alone after but these...Sadly it's probably the last we'll ever 'see' them like this again. Great read the book is.
Your reading of the attack scene with raptors was fantastic!
It's like Muldoon said, they were testing the fences for weaknesses.
I would be so down just to sit down and watch this man read the whole jp book like this it so satisfying and awesome
Klayton's videos are the best relief when you get home from work
I've read the book twice, listen to the audio book three times and seen the movie more than a dozen times. The book and the audio book give me chills every time. So does the Lost World book and audio book.
Been 10 years sense i read the book...and i remember this part..wish they would have had this in the movie..or made the book a mini series. This was a really good part to remember thanks man for all you do!!
You narrated that so well with the visuals I felt like I was there killer video
Your narration is top tier man I'm always hooked watching your vids
The Velociraptors are scary in the Book!!!
You’re a beast for this one, well done! It would have been cool if the first JP movie touched on the raptor nest and the raptors “migration”. Would have been interesting to see how they put that to the screen.
For years I promised myself I'd one day finish the book. I'm now starting the grid. It's amazing. I'd love to see this on the big screen, the way the novel was written. Maybe some day. This was pretty cool.
THANK YOU!!! I read the book three times and I could never understand this scene. I couldn't imagine it. I was like "Fences? Nah it can be right."
And none of novel's workers or Muldoon himself deduced that raptors were testing the fences for weak points? *Spared no expense*
Just discovered your TH-cam! Brilliant! Nice to know there are other Dino/Jurassic Park fanatics out there! x
This is awesome, well done. We need another movie an isla nublar. Even a prequel of them building the island would be awesome.
This is amazing! The editing coupled with the story telling. Two thumbs up! And subbed! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video. Enjoyed it a lot. You did the scene justice. Would've loved to have seen a variation on this on screen. Mind you it doesn't get much better than what's in the original movie as is.
Your video reminded me of chills I got going down my spine after Malcolm's line. Crichton is an amazing author.
Always loved that nod to raptors having learned humans are easy prey like lions not hunting humans normally. Chilling and perfect.
The way he describes the raptor slowly pushing away the frond seems especially potent
I loved how both books took different approaches with the raptors.
Holy crap. Can you do an audio reading of the book! You'd be PERFECT! You have a love of the series and your voice, mannerisms carry weight! I'd be all for waiting months for a chapter release.
