I really love this scene because it shows that these people have an actual passion for the dinosaurs before it all went wrong.

When Ellie says "Hey Baby Girl" with years in her eyes with John Williams music composed for that scene really hits the feels

I just love Ellie's reaction above any reaction/interaction in the entire franchise. Her tears of joy move me. If i was staring my favorite exotic animal (whale or elephant) in the eye and physically touching it, i would just be so overwhelemed with happiness. And to add to her character, she got STRAIGHT TO WORK in helping aid the poor, sick trike. Examining its saliva, investigating the plant and vegetation, digging SHOULDER-DEEP into dino-droppings!!! It's characters like Ellie's that really got me into zoology/biology growing up. Wildlife deserves EVERY OUNCE of our respect and love❤

[@Rockhound6165]

In case you need to see the stupidity of people, someone took a publicity still of Steven Spielberg in front of this Tric and captioned it that Spielberg brought it down on safari. People actually got angry at Spielberg for killing an innocent triceratops.

[@chloeellis1246]

She ate a lilac plant that made her sick

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I think it was a modern plant that didn't exist in the Jurassic period

[@dinoflagella4185]

I believe in the book it’s explained that the triceratops swallows stones found near the toxic plant. The plant leeches the toxin into the ground and it causes the stones to become toxic as well. Like modern chickens swallow small stones to help grind food in their gizzards. Dinosaurs swallowed stones to help grind up food in their gizzards.

[@TheMovieUniverse]

@@dinoflagella4185 makes sense

[@WoWPaladin6900]

I think it was in the book that what happens is the Triceratops ingests stones into a special pouch along the digestive tract to aid with pulverizing the food, and that in ingesting these stones, are also swallowing the berries, or something else from the plant. The stone thing is actually a common practice amongst some species of birds, iirc.

[@sebastiandiaz1836]

So did they ever find out what was wrong with the triceratops. I was curious when I watched the movie and sadly they never go into what was wrong with it.

[@justinh9674]

“The triceratops digests food such as vegetables or fruit by also eating small stones that crush and mash the food in their stomach. In the original book upon which the film is based, we find out that the stones it eats are too close to poisonous West Indian Lilac berries. So when the dinosaur replaces the stones every six weeks it simultaneously picks up some of the fallen berries and is poisoned”

In all likelihood, there was probably gonna be a scene where they reach the same conclusion as the book's rationalization, but I imagine it was probably cut for runtime.
