The Terrible Truth About Velociraptor Hunting On Isla Nublar - Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park

@@fud1238 Or a fast food joint like McDonald's, I hear the McRaptor is delicious. I'm actually somewhat surprised the new JW didn't touch on that instead of the random locusts. The meat from one Brachiosaurus could feed a family for a year at least. I would think that if a company could make dinosaurs, they'd make billions undercutting the meat industry and selling cheap dinosaur meat to consumers. But then again, this is now a franchise where humans can be cloned perfectly, and nobody seems to care, so the locusts are the least of its problems.

[@mickycaneloni8431]

@@VitZ9 I don't think it is that feasible, most of the reasons for hunger in the world are not lack of quantity but distribution of food. Besides, ingen was only building an amusement park, how many animals can a zoo have, for example? A few dozen? Hundreds if it is a super zoo, maybe thousands if we are talking about a nature reserve. Imagine the costs and in general all kinds of problems that a BRONTOSAUR farm for example would have. furthermore, it only took a DAY for all of hammond's work and his Ingen company to go bankrupt, and all of this happened because of a relatively expected problem on a tropical island like a hurricane, and an expected problem on such an unstable project like sabotage or betrayal (among other problems, such as where you would locate the site) the care and production of the animals had left them almost ruined, to the point where it was either a complete success or go bust. Besides I doubt that it is logistically possible to produce dinosaurs on an industrial level, I doubt that InGen or any other company would sacrifice their most precious secret and monopoly to give rise to a hypothetical altruism. There's a reason there are no blue whale burgers at macdonalds.

I agree with this 100%. I think Blue is quite cute, and I can't deny the charm that her character has (I've even considered picking up some toys of her!), but I don't like how the raptors in these newer films have been turned into near-anthropomorphic Disney-like characters that are basically friends with the humans.

[@chipsdubbo4861]

I liked the scene where the Raptors use that one poor sod as bait to try and lure out the other humans, attempting to exploit our Kindness(Or perhaps they thought of the Gang as a Pack too, and figured that they would rush blindly to a Packmate in need?)

[@Real_MisterSir]

You do see some of that behavior in the 3rd movie, with the first raptor infiltrating the abandoned building and stalking them, even to the point where they are face to face but it doesnt blow its cover until the very last moment. There is a lot to discuss about that movie in general, but I honestly really like the raptors, their design, and how they behave. They show a lot more pack intelligence and communitcation, and don’t come off as just cold blooded killers (maybe because they lived a more natural life?).

[@Real_MisterSir]

Chips Dubbo yes exactly, that scene is so great on multiple levels. Some pack animals (like elephants, buffalos, etc) are known to not leave pack members behind, and the idea that raptors would try to exploit such weakness is truly ingenius while still being within reason for an intelligent animal. Its the perfect way to let them be sinister carnivorous hunters, without just making them typical monsters that just kill for sport like most generic hollywood monsters do.

It was very telling that Hammond, Muldoon and the park staff neglect to mention that the raptors had already mauled and killed a park employee. Given Malcolm's rather aloof personality, he deduced very quickly that there was something off in the behavior of these animals.

[@defender2222]

This scene is important for one other thing, a very important thing that I think people miss: Ian isn't always right and he can make mistakes. Malcolm thinks the raptors are stupid. He doesn't understand how dangerous and deadly they truly are. He sees what they do and not only doesn't see the pattern or the method... he DISMISSES it. I always like to remember this scene when Malcolm gets super smug and begins talking about how Hammond didn't respect the dinosaurs, how he didn't understand them. Malcolm didn't either. No one respected them.

[@7SonsofFeanor]

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. Not surprising that someone who actually has to maintain the park is well aware of the importance of handling with care! (And with the reader being reminded that workers have been killed...)

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.

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?

[@shainewhite2781]

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.

[@karlthegoat2354]

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.

[@92bagder]

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

[@Paleopedia218]

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

[@chill_will9816]

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.

[@jawessome]

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

[@karlthegoat2354]

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.

[@jawessome]

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.

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."

[@RogueT-Rex8468]

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.

[@mistermillz]

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...”)

Amazing way of narrating it the way you made it out like there was no fence as really well said

Seriously you need to be doing more of this narration! You are perfect at this! We need a full length reading

[@wolflord8117]

This has to be the best narration and presentation of the chapter. Persection.

[@interviolet6675]

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.

[@dHybrid_351]

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.

[@zal3068]

The interesting thing about this scene is that the third animal that attacked the fence in mid-air would not have been shocked by it because the raptor wasn't on the ground. Electric fences work because when a standing animal touches it the fence circuit is interrupted by the animal's body which then forms a short circuit between the fence and the ground. Thus the body is the carrier of the current, which uses the body as the path of least resistance to ground. An animal whose entire body is on the fence in mid air wouldn't be shocked the same way birds perched on electric lines aren't shocked. The current wouldn't pass through the body because it isn't grounded and the conductive metal of the fence is a better matter to transmit the electricity though. So if the raptors wanted to climb their fence they simply had to leap upon it first. It also means that the scene in the movie where Tim is electrocuted on the fence is not factual because Tim isn't grounded when he is shocked. As long as the two wires he is holding onto are at the same voltage nothing would happen.

[@paulj5336]

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.

The Velociraptors are scary in the Book!!!

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

[@LilyZerep]

😀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 😨

[@pedrosuperhero3]

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.

[@dreeb2004]

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.

[@gabethedinosaur95]

These raptors are more intelligent. They use communication with each other and have other ways of taking down prey . And when they look at you they know how to hunt humans cause we’re easy prey and much slower to hunt. Crichton had a great description of how raptors behavior is different than they used to be in the prehistoric times

[@joshakers4223]

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!!

[@Sean_Last1995]

something that has always played in my mind when it comes to creature behaviour is this "no creature kills without reason not even humans"

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

This is awesome, well done. We need another movie an isla nublar. Even a prequel of them building the island would be awesome.

[@jjrj8568]

They had three Deinonychus for the movie but named them Velociraptors because it sounded more mainstream/easy to pronunce, end of the story and nobody will convince me otherwise. Utahraptor?? Utahraptor is way too big, almost like Indoraptor-big The raptors of the JP/W films are Deinonychuses , period.

[@GamerBoy-rv2yy]

I believe what could counter your statement could be the fact that InGen's dinosaurs were never historically accurate

[@lancermafia1982]

1:30 for people who say the velociraptors from Jurrasic Park are not real and that the raptors are more like deinonychus, pay attention to what the Crichton, the writer of the first book, says about deinonychus in the Jurassic Park universe. That is going to be one huge point as to why the deinonychus are velociraptors in the movie. Also because they thought velociraptor sounded more scary than deinonychus.

[@markcobuzzi826]

Which, incidentally, is the main reason as to why I objected to Jurassic World Evolution featuring Deinonychus as its own separate animal. As much as I really like the Basilisk-like head combed design for a Dromaeosaur, I felt that it should have been paired up with a different raptor, while the “Velociraptors” are found in the North American dig sites instead and stated to be another name for Deinonychus, like in the novel.

[@WhyTho525]

Actually I think the Velociraptors in the Jurassic movies are Deinonychus Antirrhopus and the ones in the novels are Achillobator Giganticus .

[@batty2259]

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.
