How Scientifically Accurate is the Jurassic World MOSASAURUS?

In this video we will compare the real Mosasaurus to the larger than life Jurassic World rendition of the animal! The Mosasaurus was the mightiest ocean predator of it’s time, but how different is the real animal from Hollywood's take? Watch this animation to find out!

[@NaturesCompendium]

Hello everybody! First off, I've finally linked all of my sources, including the test footage from Fallen Kingdom I used for scaling the Jurassic World Mosasaurus. However, be mindful that some sources I used may not be accessible to the public, and I'm happy to clarify anything on my discord server. I would like to thank you all for the support and overall positive reception of the first full scale animation for the channel! It really means the world to me and I'm excited ti make more animated videos going forward. In terms of the subjects I would like to cover, and the reasoning behind the new channel name "Nature's Compendium," I would like to encompass a variety of subjects pertaining to the natural world and the history of life on earth. My main focus will be on the evolution of certain animals, marine biology, tropical rainforest ecology, and reconstructing lesser known prehistoric ecosystems like the Pisco formation. While "How Scientifically Accurate" is not going to be a focal point of the channel, I will continue to produce them alongside the main animation projects I hope to create. Lastly, while the general reception of this video has been very positive, I am still grateful and appreciative of all constructive criticism. One of the most frequently brought up points is how the audio balance with background music and sound effects was distracting and too loud in certain parts. I will be sure to address this in future videos and be more mindful when working on the SFX design. Again thank you all for watching and I hope you look forward to the future of the channel! The next animation video is going to be on Sperm Whales, so stay tuned! 🐳🐳🐳

[@spectre9065]

The Mosasaurus in Jurassic World is twice as big as an IRL mosasaurus. My guess is that the reason the creators went with this feature was because if the Mosasaurus was accurately sized, it would not be able to drag the Indominus down into the aquarium.

All of the animals in Jurassic World also were created with accelerated growth hormones so that they would be ready for exhibition faster, so perhaps the mosasaur's growth rate went far beyond what it was supposed to, thanks to the genetic amalgamation (or they gave it too many growth hormones to make it way bigger in order to impress guests, like you say).

[@daliborjovanovic510]

The JW Mosasaurus does appear to be within the range of 60 to 70 feet in the first movie, it's just that in the sequel it inexplicably turned kaiju-size (likely due to lazy filmmaking not paying attention to continuity).

[@1Morey]

I think it is more closer to roughly 84 feet in length, which is still massive. Forced perspective on some scenes does change how we perceive objects. ILM stated they made it larger than its fossil counterpart so it was big enough to take down the Indominus rex.

Many people’s first time seeing a Mosasaur was in the Jurassic World trailer. The first time I knew about Mosasaurs was from my Dinosaur stickerpedia book. Afterwards I remember understanding more about them from the monsters resurrected mosasaur episode, then from the Nigel Marven BBC sea monsters documentary series, then from Nat Geo Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure documentary, and finally seeing it in one of the trailers from Jurassic World

[@NaturesCompendium]

This is why I'm happy they went with a more scientifically accurate approach for the Quetzalcoatlus in Jurassic World Dominion's prologue, along with the oviraptor (minus the broken wrists) and moros intrepidus. Many people around the world will be seeing these animals for the first time and doing them in a more modern approach is fantastic

Megafauna is still alive in the oceans today. Mossosaurs were a dominant fauna, but the giants in the ocean during the mesozoic were ichthyosaurs, which got as big as the biggest whales [including blue], some filter feeding fish and possibly sharks, but sadly sharks dont fossilize very well, especially the filter feeders with their little teeth [bones are cartilage].

At this point it's relatively common knowledge that the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park franchise are far from being scientifically/historically accurate in their physiology. They clarify the reason for this is because the dino's DNA is "impure". They're genetics are spliced with those of other living modern animals to fill in the missing gaps in the dino DNA the researchers in the movies were able to collect and that's why they look so different.

[@drill_fiend1097]

[@taliesincoleman6569]

one respectful critique (I mean no offence just thought I'd make that clear) I personally don't think it's actually that big. it's confirmed to be at least roughly 25-26.6 meters long, still a bit smaller that the LARGEST estimated Antarctic blue whale (33 meters at most). (i did very careful estimates with the scene where it eats the pteranodon which last I checked had a wingspan of 26-33 feet, and the wings were still poking out up it's elbows) so even if it continued to grow to a size similar to in this video (as there are species that continue to grow through their life bare in mind.) at most I'd maybe put it at 5-6 meters longer than a blue whale. aside from that, this video is FAR better than you're earlier ones by a HUGE margin, far less insulting to JP/JW fans, more respectful towards said folks and feels far less vindictive. good job. keep this up and you may very well have me as a subscriber. also i'm sorry for giving you a hard time before, over two years ago, whilst i do stand by what i said that day, i know now that the way i was going about it was kinda immature immature on my part.

Since the footage itself doesn't belong to me I didn't feel comfortable posting it in the video: instagram.com/p/BxiPZf-F8bA/?igshid=kegp0mvtp04k Since fallen kingdom is the most recent in the films timeline, I wanted my estimates to be based on how big the animal was in that film. And no need to apologize, as I was also immature when I initially started. I want these videos to be for everybody to enjoy and I hope to leave a positive and lasting impression on my viewers through the artwork and animations.

I've always wondered how they got the DNA of a marine reptile. Because it can't be mosquitoes

[@_robustus_]

You read muh mind bruh

[@Weriartysmok]

They got it straight from the fossil. They even hinted at in the Jurassic World movie and promotional material.

The spinoraptor from Jurassic world evolution is pretty cool though
