It's better to educate children young as scientifically accurately as we can than to have great shows aimed at adults and allowing children to learn crappy science up until adulthood. That's one of those things I mention a lot in my own writing. At least as adults we can understand why things are wrong and discuss them; children don't have that frame of reference so starting them off inaccurately is a terrible thing to do. That said, I grew up on claymation dinosaurs and horribly inaccurate dinosaurs and I turned out mostly okay (I think).Ian N.

Neither did "Dino Time". So thus far the writers of "Jurassic Park 4" care less about the intervening twenty years of new paleontological findings than things like "Dino Time" and "Land Before Time XII: Here's Another One, F*** You".

The only official word is that they "evolved" through breeding, which doesn't mean much, but the wild-bred individuals on the novels are also for some unexplained reason different than the captive-bred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-61437132611264620572013-03-22T13:09:17.546-04:002013-03-22T13:09:17.546-04:00"(Sexual dimorphism; Unlike JP, there were bo..."(Sexual dimorphism; Unlike JP, there were both male & female dinos on-screen)"<br /><br />I suppose the dimorphism is implicit in JP2, but I don't remember anything about the raptors in JP3 as a different species. Unless it was in some supplemental material to the movie, in which case it's not doing any good clarifying things for the audience (and the Grant dream sequence would makes even less sense).Matt Martyniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220900229537564466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140938929136406282.post-65601137797229085142013-03-22T12:56:33.256-04:002013-03-22T12:56:33.256-04:00“Brian Switek has countered that each previous fil...“Brian Switek has countered that each previous film has completely re-designed the "raptors" anyway with no in-universe explanation.”<br /><br />While I don’t remember them being explained in the movies, I do remember hearing explanations for JP2′s new color schemes (Sexual dimorphism; Unlike JP, there were both male & female dinos on-screen) & JP3′s raptors (V.sornaensis; InGen originally created them, but they were too intelligent/aggresive for the park to handle, hence the creation of V.nublarensis).<br /><br />Anyway, based on what I’ve read, the late great Winston planned on fully feathered dinos in JP4, so I assume he had an explanation for them (E.g. Repressed genes in captive-bred dinos eventually being expressed in wild-bred dinos). Come to think of it, I’d love to see how Winston’s vision of fully feathered dinos would’ve turned out. For some reason, I imagined them as being very Kokoro-esque (E.g. See the young T.rex & Velociraptors in this link: http://www.craigwork.com/2011/08/10/dinosaur-environment/ ).<br /><br />-Hadiazraptor_044https://www.blogger.com/profile/10538231485096397412noreply@blogger.com
