How accurate is Hollywood when it comes to depicting dinosaurs on the big screen? Paleontologist Mark Loewen reviews dinosaur scenes from films including ‘Jurassic Park,’ ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park,’ ’Jurassic World,’ ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom,’ ‘Land Of The Lost,’ ’King Kong,’ ‘Night at the Museum,’ and more.
Filmed in Paleontology Collections at the Natural History Museum of Utah, located on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Special thanks to Abby Curran, Carrie Levitt-Bussian, and Beth Mitchell from NHMU.

Yeah, I get why paleontologists feel the need to point out inaccuracies with those movies and/or books. But I respectfully tend to feel the need to scream at them that they're genetically altered. They're *not* supposed to be pure dinosaurs. So the complaint that they aren't like what the common theory of what the dinosaurs were like at the time they were released is actually kind of pointless.

That's correct, they based them on Deinonychus, but it wasn't actually big enough either for what they wanted, and they wanted to make them even bigger. But luckily Utahraptor was discovered around the same time and that justified their decision on making the raptors Utahraptor sized. And you're very right they kept the name incorrectly as Velociraptor simply because they thought it sounded cooler.

Somebody has probably already mentioned this, but in the book the culprit for the poor, motion-based vision the T-rex had was another wrinkle caused by the frog DNA they used to fill in the genetic gaps.

My pet peeve about dinosaurs in movies ('monsters' in general to be fair), is that they roar before attacking. Most predators are either trying to be really sneaky or try to rush at their prey. It's counterproductive to give their prey a massive warning. If you ever see a great big thing making a huge noise, it's usually because something bigger than them is threatening it.

@spankyjeffro5320 Рік тому
Exactly. Plus, the fact that it roared at all, really. No reptile or avian alive today roars. They chirp. They hiss. They squark. Sure, T-Rex would have had massive lungs. But, to roar is super far-fetched. I like the reconstruction of what a T-Rex may have sounded like. A deep, rolling grumble. Something you could feel as much as hear. A sound that rumbled your bones as it traveled kilometers towards you. Couple that with a hiss and you have one scarier and more accurate Rex. :)

@@spankyjeffro5320 Just a correction Some avians can in fact roar, such as the ostrich and other large flightless birds, a lot of them also are able to produce growling hisses, and avians in particular are known to be able to produce more vocal variations than any other animal alive. So considering the shape of nasal cavities and resonance chambers, we do have somewhat of an indication of the depth of their vocal ranges, and various threatening noises would most likely be more common with dinosaurs than modern day birds, considering how they were more often than not competing amongst each other and fighting, which is far less common with modern birds. The one thing I do wish wasn't the case, is the overreliance on roars. The only dinosaurs served any sense of justice are the various raptors - which are depicted as capable of many different types of sounds and expressions, allowing for more complex communication and vocal expression. I don't know why this is kept exclusive to them, probably to just give them a more special treatment and uniqueness I guess.. But no, a roaring dinosaur is not super far fetched. Suggesting exclusively the opposite actually is. Overall I do agree on the point that a multitude of vocals/sounds were likely mixed and used in different situations. Roar, hiss, growl, deep rolling grumble, higher pitched chirps, etc. No reason to believe dinosaurs of most species wouldn't have decently wide vocal capability.

Since the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park movies are designed and their DNA is altered, theoretically they could've made spinosaurus as big as bad as they wanted. I think this movie was also made during a time when they only had one discovered spinosaurus skeleton (I think there are literally only 7 partial skeletons, and no full ones even today) so the spinosaurus in the movie was an accurate representation of what they believed at the time it actually looked like. Since then they've discovered more and Spinosaurus has created a lot of controversy in the Paleo community lol

Predators won't do two things: - They won't make lot of noise before attacking because you want to catch prey, not warn it or scare it off - They almost never attack each other.

For a carnivore they have to hunt and kill prey and an injury that interferes with this could result in starvation.

To be fair, the eyesight thing was portrayed differently in the JP novel. In the novel, the animals were given amphibian motion based vision as a way to make them less dangerous on purpose. Grant knew this because one of the scientists told him about it. In the movie it's just treated as part of his expertise. I dont know if any expert worth a darn thought T rex had bad vision in the early 90's. As a dinosaur nerd kid, I had read that their vision likely exceeded that of modern day birds of prey. When I saw the movie and hes like "their vision is based on movement" and I'm whispering 'no its not!'

So saying that he is wrong is not taking all the information into account. He could be among those that support Brontosaurus as a genus. Also for whatever reason Brontosaurus has pop culture recognition. More lay people will know what you're talking about by saying Brontosaurus than Apatosaurus.

Must've been a shocker to see your former professor in a Vanity Fair video, eh? Lol. You sure must've had a great experience with this man as a professor. He's definitely both smart and funny.

fun fact! there was never an official name for the spiked tail of a stegosaurus, until Gary Larson made a comic about it sometime in the 90s. He called it the Thagomizer (“for the late Thag Simmons”) and because the paleontological community had no actual name for it, it ended up getting officially adopted.

I like that he took into account the context of the movies e.g. that living dinosaurs would have evolved in the time since. That context is important and you can't say a movie is "wrong" for something essential to its primary conceit. But he also didn't let that be an excuse to not talk about cool dino facts. Perfect balance.

Around where I live, there's a guy that goes by Paleo Joe and he does group talks about paleontology. In the 3rd grade, our class went to see him and he was so impressed with how much I knew and was engaging with him he gave me a chocolate trilobite. I was stoked. I asked my teacher on the bus ride back to school if I could eat it and she said no. It melted and I still remember my disappointment 22 years later. I should have just eaten it.

@@Waaris_771 Thing is, the hybrids portrayed cannot be guessed like that as they already have set behaviours, the indominus rex didn't even know what it was and was seeing where it fit on the food chain, it was highly intelligent and killed for sport. The Indoraptor however is different, it is psychotic and a murder machine, its entire purpose was to be made for war, even if this animal was a prototype it showed extreme malice
