How Scientifically Accurate Is The Jurassic Park T.Rex?

[@EmperorSarco]

That "to a canary, a cat is a monster" line from Jurassic World gives the T rex escape scene from Jurassic Park more meaning. She wasn't really attacking the car. She was curious and was playing with it. But to our species, it was a monster in that scene. Kind of like how a cat may sometimes play with canaries and small animals, and that animal is more or less scared of it's life. We're just used to bieng the cat.

I have an American Staffordshire Terrier, which is a bulky beast but still a animal. And yeah, not only his behaviour reminds me that Rex (shaking the head while playing and biting some toy, the way the tail moves when something grabs it's attention, and also the way it uses the neck muscles and the jaw to grab and pull or push things...), but it's also a really adorable creature. If you could pet a Rex, it probably would feel something like that lol

A few things in there didnt come across right. Speed for example. T.Rex was not a runner nor an ambush predator (which needs explosive movement to work).

@@sasquatch668able That is old news from 2017. If and only if the new study is accurate T.Rex can NOT run or it breaks its fucking leg bones from the stress.

There's a scene in Jurassic World where Henry Wu talks with the new CEO, Simon Masrani, explaining why the dinosaurs are so aggressive and innacurate to real dinosaurs. Saying that he can't add the genes without some shifts in instinctual behavior like adding hippo dna to get longer teeth but it also adds more aggressive behavior, to quote "But you didn't want accurate, you wanted more teeth"

[@VakierMapping]

It’s actually 29 years old

[@WhyTho525]

A massive T-rex fanatic here! My favourite T-rex design are definitley the ones from TLW. They are so unique and definitley how I imagine T-rex sexual dimorphism to look like. Genetic mutations of InGen Tyrannosaurus Rex explained somewhat: Fast running - Frog DNA might've resulted in the InGen Tyrannosaurs' leg muscles becoming stronger and as we know, frogs have strong leg muscles which give tnem the abilities to jump high. Thus makes the Tyrannosaurs become faster and agile. Vision based movement - Frog DNA. Frogs can only see what is moving. However this mutation is only present in Rexy/Roberta, while the Isla Sorna Tyrannosaurs have similar vision like their prehistoric ancestors. In the Novel Canon, this is explained that only the 4.1 Version Tyrannosaurs had this, while the Isla Sorna Tyrannosaurs didn't. Extended lifespan - Possibly saltwater crocodile (their max lifespan is 70 years). Now we did get an explaination why Rexy/Roberta will not die at the age of 30 which was the max lifespan of the prehistoric Tyrannosaurus Rex, but I actually think that InGen intentionally extended the lifespans of their clones to spare money. Sex changing ability - African Reed Frog DNA - I don't think I have to explain this one Roar and pronated wrists - InGen and John Hammond probably based their Dinosaur clones on how tbe public and Paleontologists viewed them back in the day and roaring T-rex and Dinosaurs with pronated wrists was the popular depitcion back then (and it's still is in the public eye). Shrink wrapping - Possibly a series of genetic mutations caused by various gene-manipulation made by InGen Reptilian appearance - Saltwater Crocodile DNA - This would also explain some of the crocodilian sounds they make. Also the fact that the 4.1 Versions in the original Novel were able to swim kinda confirms this. Forked tongue - Novel Canon only - This only applied to the 4.1 Version T-rexes on Isla Nublar. This is possibly due to them having a Monitor Lizard DNA. So my best guess for the genetic codes for the InGen Tyrannosaurs in both Canons: Novel Canon: Tyrannosaurus Rex Ingens Nublarensis (fanmade name) - 4.1 Versions from the original Novel = Tyrannosaurus Rex + Saltwater Crocodile + Monitor Lizard + African Reed Frog Tyrannosaurus Rex Ingens Sornaensis (also fanmade name) - TLW Novel version = Tyrannosaurus Rex + Saltwater Crocodile + African Reed Frog Movie Canon: Tyrannosaurus Rex Maximus Hammondi (fanmade name, created by DeviantArt artist: Taliesaurus) = Tyrannosaurus Rex + African Reed Frog + Saltwater Crocodile + Possibly very few Daspletosaurus Torosus? (due to the arms being longer at these Tyrannosaurs and Daspletosaurus had longer arms) If I left out some of the mentioned genetic mutations of the InGen Tyrannosaurs, let me know! Edit: Most of the the fanmade names are from the DeviantArt artist Taliesaurus. The guy makes fantastic artwork!

Dude, this was incredible. Great content! Please do more of these on the other iconic JP dinosaurs!

[@aycaramba18]

Klayton, will you make more of these kind of videos? With Triceratops or Baronyx? Great video, btw.

[@genkiarashi]

Tyrannosaurus Rex was far more versatile than it's been depicted in the JP films, but still even with all the setbacks it remains the favorite dinosaur to many. Great video, you should consider covering other popular dinosaurs in the future.

[@thehulkster17smash34]

I agree with the T.Rex being the mostly accurate dinosaur in the Jurassic Park franchise

[@monsterhanna6691]

Because everybody's seen a dinosaur? "We know they didn't do that, so, if that had been left in the scene, all the work into making these things bird-like would've been gone." How the fuck would anyone know that? 😂

[@nutyyyy]

Its really not particularly accurate at all. Of course people will respond to that by saying we don't know what they looked like as an excuse despite the fact we have the fossils and skin impressions and when the actual underlying skeletal structure of your recreation is wrong then its not accurate. It takes extra effort to make it accurate. Is it a good model? Sure? Is Jurassic Park an amazing film, absolutely. But let's not pretend its scientifically accurate based on currently established research on Tyrannosaurus. You can't simultaneously claim accuracy doesn't matter and then say the Tyrannosaurus is very accurate...

[@aryshandono3249]

I think other dinosaurs are quite accurate too, in particular the herbivores. Aside from them being mostly slightly larger, I think the Parasaurolophus are quite true to their real life counterpart

[@mrx-od3ji]

t rex in jurassic park t rex is not most accurate its real speed is 12mph if it tryed running it will break its legs.

[@kitsunefirefox1986]

Props to Michael Crichton for providing a plausible reason in universe for the scientific inaccuracies, it's almost as if he knew it would be needed in the future.

[@CoryBaker92]

Really loved this video! Really hope you keep doing this with the other Jurassic dinosaurs. What the movies got right.

[@eagc7]

An episode about Spinosaurs accuracy would be neat to see given how Spinosaurs has changed over years since the film came out

[@markcobuzzi826]

I recall a few people even referencing the Shrek 2 meme with Spinosaurus: “For five minutes... could you not change your appearance... FOR FIVE MINUTES?!”

[@Steve_A93]

This was super cool, I'd love to hear you guys talk about Dilophosaurus and Baryonyx, really curious how they differed from the movies :)

[@jtsg464]

Klayton, I did enjoy this chat with a paleontologist on Big Rex :) My only feedback with it is maybe tone the music down in the background somewhat. While some tracks weren't a big issue, others were pretty loud and I want to hear the conversation, not the music. Other than that, loved hearing about T-Rex.

[@elvmat1164]

Great video! Thanks! I agree with your guest-I always felt Rexy was just exploring Grant and the girl, very much playing with them! Also, she may not have liked the taste of the lawyer, lol!

[@ashmandar8130]

Didn't think I was gonna watch through the hour but it was so interesting I couldn't click off or fast forward.

[@brycevo]

Ooo. This is brilliant. Great video!

[@deltadromeuss]

An hour-long video on JP's T-Rex. Thank you Clayton! :D

[@NioNerd]

Haven’t finished watching the whole video BUT I had to comment this: I loved that Ethan brought up something I’ve always had a critique about whenever a T. rex fights another large theropod. Is the fact that in the movies, anytime a T. rex bites the neck of whatever, they don’t die instantly or very soon after. It’s always been my biggest critique and gripe about JP/W films. Edit: Finished watching the video. Great video! Super cool to have a paleontologist whose also a fan of the films talk about the JP/W T. rex! I think it'd be cool if you did a video like this about Spinosaurus.

[@Black_Wolf1357]

in Jurassic franchise the trexes bite force is tearing flesh while reality trex bite force is bone crushing.

[@misirloupowerslide]

Imagine watching a T Rex creeping silently toward its prey , its sheer size somehow silently moving and blending in focused solely on its hunt

[@moremercurial84]

I read the books about once per year and it’s always like I’m reading them for the first time ❤️🦖

[@almightysaiyan8217]

Been waiting for a video like this! Very well done! You should bring a paleontologist on to talk about other Dino in the series it’s great!

[@Lonesoldier2268]

Heck yeah another vid from klayton

[@LowellLucasJr.]

This was an excellent and wonderful video! I'm loving the Paleontologist you got here loves and is Pumped talking about TRex! This is such an incredible joy and FANTASTIC!!! ❤

[@anthonytorresproductions]

0:00 Stay down, stay down! DON’T MOVE!! DON’T RUN!!

[@Shsiebeie]

Jurassic park theme tune intensifies

[@graysonderp5902]

I guess now we know its GIVE UP! GIVE UP!

[@Ross2541]

Definitely both the best and one of my favorite vids that Klayton has put out so far

[@sullygamester5388]

A video of the Baryonyx would be so cool!

[@tucan9111]

Ooooh no it wouldn't, they'd spend the whole video complaining about its inaccuracy and I in particular am not here to see that.

[@sullygamester5388]

@@tucan9111 well I love the Baryonyx and it was one of my favorites so in my opinion it would be cool

[@charlesknight5140]

Here showing LOVE for my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHANNEL PERIOD thank you Mr Klayton for your channel. Thank You and have a Blessed day

[@stefanlaskowski6660]

I never believed that a dinosaur as gracile as Spinosaurus would have the muscle and bite force to kill a T-Rex. So far as we know, spinosaurs ate fish and smaller dinosaurs and would have no need to have immensely strong jaws. I think a fight between the two would be very brief even if the spinosaur is slightly larger.

[@annieb.829]

I love all your JP videos...but out of all I've seen thus far, this is MY FAVORITE!!! I like the educational marriage with the cinematic interpretations. I agree with the paleontologist's opinion...she was totally playing with the car!

[@itsLeels]

Maybe a suggestion for future videos of this. Maybe the question on the top left of the screen? It would help myself remember the question on topic. It’s not bad that I forget but I like to be reminded during the conversation. Just a suggestion. Idk if other people have this problem. But yeah :)

[@Saiyanking72]

I do i seconded the suggestion pleas

[@rasmushasselbomtrofast3183]

I just love your videos!! Could next one be a triceratops, it would be really nice to get an update on my favorite dino:)

[@UncleScorch]

The buck Rex indeed - the best looking of the bunch! Thanks for the vid!!

[@WhyTho525]

The Lost World: Jurassic Park had the best dinosaur designs out of all the films (not in terms of accuracy though)

[@celineawproductions]

Very cool video. Loved how transparent it was and informative. Had me smiling. Big thumb ups!

[@HelenaSan425]

i love the T.rex great vid klayton!

[@elcapitain1221]

I grew up and still live 10 min away from the dry island bone bed. We used to find all kinds of bones and teeth when I was a kid all along those river valleys. The predator teeth were especially interesting. All different types, colors, and age ranges. It lends to the theory that albertasaurus and possibly t-rex were more family focused that we might figure. Two of the most prized teeth we found were a large adult and a very small baby's. Both found within 100 meters of each other. Same color, same shape, and very similar condition. Nice to have my home included in such an excellent video.
