[@ceilyurie856]

I remember in the novel, the tracking program for the dinosaur enclosures searched for a MINIMUM number of dinos total, and then just totaled for the species in the park. The program only sounded an alarm if the number for dinosaurs was UNDER the expected amount for individual species and total dinos. Ian Malcom starts raising the number of expected dinos in the program (by inputting higher and higher amounts for expected total), and it KEEPS FINDING MORE until he picks a higher number than the actual total and only THEN does the program sound an alarm, at which point only THEN do they know the true number, and that they were self-reproducing

When I read the jurassic park book, one thing that struck me was how 'unnatural' some of the dinosaurs were displayed, and I'm reminded of dr. wu's saying; this isn't a real dinosaur, it's our best attempt. My personal 'jesus christ' moment was when the t rex while hunting the kids, hiding in either a kyak shack or electrical closet, are out of reach of the rex, so it uses a long prehensile tongue to reach in and grab the boy, before the tranq dart kicks in and the rex takes a water-nap. that really helped nail in the theory that 'these aren't dinosaurs, these are monsters wearing dinosaur skin'

The alternative dna of modern day animals is more present then any of the 65 mil old dna. Bc the the gaps were just to huge.

What everyone seems to overlook in the first hybrid theory is that in the Jurassic park canon, the first dinosaurs they hatched under Hammond was in fact the first hybrids considering they had to fill up the gaps in Dino genomes with genomes of frogs, snakes and other various birds and reptiles. So yeah they were all hybrids to begin with starting from Hammond's Jurassic park. Edit: Its also explained that's the reason why the t-rex in Jurassic park could only see moving things as it had a frogs trait for its sight. And also sex changing raptors because of frog DNA.

[@HyperNova808]

I’ve been a fan of the franchise but never really got super invested with the deeper aspects, but i’m guessing the dinosaurs were created using more reptilian DNA or something (idk science) and is why the dinosaurs look reptilian rather than bird-like as science has found out was most likely the actual case.

[@THECerato]

so your saying the triceratops the first dinosaur created is a hybrid

[@BenMartin-o1x]

@TheCeratosaurus1 yes, as their dna was filled in with modern species and they only bred females as animal control, they would all be genetic hybrids.

The sick triceratops is actually an incomplete scene from the novel. In it, they see a sick stegosaurus, see she's suffering from West Indian Lilac poisoning every 6 weeks, and check her droppings only to find no trace of the plants. In the novel, Grant and Satler end up finding piles of smooth stones located around the lilacs, and conclude that the dinosaur is regurgitating and then swallowing gastroliths, the best source they have available happening to be located in the the lilac shrubbery, at which point she accidentally swallows a few of the plants when she replenishes her supply. This prompts the handlers to remove all the lilacs and Hammond even commends Grant and the others, but all this does for Grant and the others is put a great deal of doubt that Hammond is doing ANYTHING right.

[@richt7525]

Satler also later reams Hammond for his being stupid enough to put highly toxic plants he knew nothing about right beside the swimming pools, IIRC. Dr Satler, saving money on liability suits and resource retention every step she takes lol.

Not quite, you are confusing a few things. Ellie starts doubting about the poisonous plants around the swimming pool, but the vets at the park knew about the Lilac, as that was one of their first ideas, but there were no signs of the plants being eaten. What they didn’t expect is the gastrolith, with the Stegos swallowing some of the berries on the ground. There was no removal of either set of plants, because she never got to talk about the plants around the pool, and Nedry’s tampering begins shortly after the Stego scene.

another cool fact about the human-dino hybrid concept that was scrapped: Universal actually used this concept for Halloween Horror Night in 2002, for a scarezone called JP Extinction, as well as a tie-in house called Project Evilution. this was right after Islands of Adventure had just opened, so they held Halloween Horror Night in the new park, so each scarezone and house was basically themed after each area it was in. it's always been a cool concept to me, so finding out that it was a scrapped pitch for a fourth Jurassic Park movie made me very happy. great video! 👏 JP is one of my favorite franchises ever.

I wonder if John Hammond taught the brachiosaurus to stand up on it's back legs when it was an infant. Maybe the brachiosaurus that can be heard at the end of Jurassic Park was that same animal, adding to John's reticence to leaving on the helicopter.

[@Skidibibapbap]

They did say John was there for all of the dino’s birth so they could remember him or imprint on him, so its like a father leaving all their children helpless to the world itself But this theory hits me so hard I wish it was true and imagine it was the same one on Fallen Kingdom that was left behind.

Rexy moving on her own is even more creepy, when you learn that those kids screaming and in total fear, during the scene she comes through the glass roof, was legit.

You missed the most screwed up bit about John Hammonds death.

[@alexkaen1701]

The Indo and Maisie interactions definitely didn't look peaceful, but nor do they otherwise make sense concerning all else we see of the hybrid. There's definitely a shift in its methods as it approaches the girl, which leads me to think we do have a situation like the I-Rex and Blue's pack. What if Maisie wasn't imbued with just any strain of dino DNA, but DNA to quell any dino she meets? It works with beta, but Indo is a much more Alpha dino and could see Maisie as a rival. Indo could be confused, as it's sensing the presence of another Alpha but sees a human child. I'm not convinced she could tame it, but she definitely makes the Indo think twice.

After Henry's death in the first novel and his brothers survival from Sorna, Elliot takes Henry's name and to spite Henry always overshadowing him (Elliot was actually the mastermind behind the dinos and Henry took the spotlight), he begins deals with BioSyn. That's why his personality was so different from the first novel/movie and why he was only worried about his work over anything else, he was the real mad scientist hellbent on pushing genetics to the limits.

One theory i wished you touched on a bit more (Caught up and watched a lotta videos to see if its mentioned, but i might have simply missed it.) Was that being the Spino was the first hybrid. I remember reading someone mentioning this loosely awhile back and it got my head spinning for hours, trying to understand until i came to a conclusion and what evidence is known or shown. 1. It being hyper aggressive, near the same level if not more than the Jurassic World Hybrids. 2. Henry Wu mentioning that he left a mistake on Sorna makes me think of either the Spino, or the Raptors. Mistake wise, the spino being the first hybrid would account for it being hyper aggressive and why it failed, as it was more aggressive overall to the point of near compromising its own self preservation. 3. The comments about it actively hunting down T-Rexs from it's urine is now how a apex predator would behave, along with engaging in combat with the one in the film despite the fact it would more than likely be killed. 4. Ik its more of a error/lack of information at the time of what spino looked liked, as later skeletons show it being much shorter, but its massive size could be seen as that being an attribute to it being a hybrid. Anyhow, I love the content and definitely learned some new theories to think about for awhile. Thank you for the content, and have a good day!

I appreciate your hard work! I heard a great one the other day that never occurred to me; In 1995, whilst planning their upcoming sci-fi movie Kevin Costner, his director and producers told Speilberg they wanted a practical set, and to shoot it in Hawaii. Speilberg warned them of the headaches this caused him when Hurricane Icini leveled Hawaii, as well as the JP sets in the process.

Edit: Can you please do a theory video about how Billy Brennan survived after being attacked by Pteranodons?

[@ShadowsLew]

I worked so hard on this one Delaina, must have taken me well over 50hours to complete minimum!

[@Odinfang]

I’d like to expand on the Lost world carnotaurus with a theory. I believe they might exist as a subspecies and what we seen on film is the product of more modern cloning techniques able to get the likeness right. I definitely can see the Lost World Carnotaurus on some portion of Isla Sorna.

[@Dragonbladepro]

I love that you bring up the novels in this video! I love the novels more than the movies, and this franchise has been one of my favorites for a long time. Also definitely gonna have to check out West World never heard of it, but it sounds super interesting now.

[@AvaricioDues]

On John Hammond’s death, he fell because he heard a Rex’s roar, which was from Tim and Alex playing around with the sound board; and John cursed his grandkids that’s when the Compys stuck

[@GraniteGhost778]

I had a friend in elementary whose parents worked with Spielberg, and he was always feeding myself and the other kids Jurassic Park stuff. We learned all about the plans for the hybrids from him before 4 was canned.

[@xthevortexknightx6356]

I’d like to believe Muldoon survived until the InGen cleanup team got there and they found him surviving on the island, having killed the rest of the raptors after the T-Rex killed half of them, surviving like Eric Kirby did on Sorna, also explaining why there were no raptors on Nublar when the InGen team captured all the dinosaurs for Jurassic World. He’d lay low, wanting people to think he died so they don’t question him about the park like they did for all the other survivors. He probably went back to Africa to be a game warden again so nobody would really know him.

[@DagobahResident]

It has been a few years (ok, almost 2 decades) since I read the books, but I remember in Lost World there was a subplot about mercenaries running damage control/cleanup to cover up for Ingen, or something along those lines. The subplot more importantly reveals the extreme resilience of the dinosaurs, as one merc squeezes into a construction pipe to avoid a Velociraptor, then fires a rocket launcher trying to hit its head as it's trying to reach him, but instead blows its leg off. The raptor hardly seems to bleed from the wound and can still hobble around sounding off to others in the area.

[@Braint-lr6uf]

Yeah,that never happened,Ingen by that time was already history,and there wasn't any mercenaries,just 3 Biosyn guys (one of them Dodgson) that wanted to steal eggs. The closest to that is when Muldoon shoots with his rocket launcher at raptors in the first novel.

[@nauscakes1868]

Its been about 2 decades for me too. But I certainly remember there being a sub plot similar to that. How the veins in the dinos were different, and it made them really resistant to bullets or explosions, because they'd wouldn't bleed out. Isn't that why there was the big focus on the poison darts?

[@DagobahResident]

@@Braint-lr6uf Ah, so that was in the first book. My bad, like I said I read it as a pre-teen like 20 years ago 😅

[@raelogan]

The abandoned part of the Universal park sounds like it could have been a fantastic basis for an ARG

[@hectorlumbagoCringe]

This is an amazing piece of work, super enjoyable and easily listened to while simultaneously being informative as all hell, thank you.

[@MichaelHeal99]

Great breakdown of the franchise. I appreciate the explanations of differences in movies and books. I loved the books as much as the movies. It's like having two JP universes to explore.

[@MikeVonwolkenstein]

Very nice iceberg video 🔥🔥 But regarding one of the entries. fnaf got nothing on a self mobilizing T-Rex. Best trivia I heard in a while.

[@tyleriamyourcreator]

New to the channel and I just came here to say I learned SO much after just reading the novels that I didn’t know before. I’ve been casually looking into lore here and there and this video has helped tie together my years of random hyperfixations. Kudos! ((Kind of like a squirrel and I can’t focus on one thing for too long))

[@ShadowsLew]

Welcome aboard!

[@j.m.marshall669]

Apart from a few spelling errors on the subject titles, a solid video. Surprised Operation Clean Sweep wasn't mentioned however.

[@jaredgillenwater4221]

Fun fact: While every official source currently says that the I-Rex has no human DNA, leading up to the release of Jurassic World, the official website had a page that included the genetic makeup of the I-Rex, and at the time, it did, in fact say that Human DNA was included. And I choose to believe that is still the case in my own Headcanon.

[@DinoSharkBrickReviews]

My theory is the black and white indominus rexes were in the same paddock as baby's so that they could gain social skills and were supposed to be separated as adults and the black indominus rex would have been in paddock ten but got killed by the white indominus rex at a young age.

[@brohansolo4122]

Owen served in the US Navy, not the Marine Corps.

[@ItsLegac]

My question is : what happend in Dubrovnik Croatia cuz the pilot mentions it in Dominion

[@laurendunn0809]

I remember when they introduced the Indominous that they talked about having two and the guy goes "Where's the other one?" and Clair goes, "She ate him"

[@nicolasahumada8974]

I used to play the arcade game in a shopping center with my brother. People would stay around in a circle to watch us play as we were really good at it. It was awesome, tho I remember it with muuuuch better graphics haha :)

[@eric1scooby]

Trespasser is actually one of my all time favorite games. Took me years to beat. I would love to see a remake!

[@buggabugga1637]

I love that Camp Cretaceous is canon! It’s a really great show❤️

[@AEMT-ks4so]

Paddock 11 being the indominus rex and not a public paddock has always lead me to believe thst Paddock 10 is just the raptor training facility. Its not open to the public and to my knowledge we never see a paddock number

[@leonshelton4862]

The male T-Rex in the lost world was the first confirm male dinosaur in Jurassic Park not the indoraptor

[@theonlybigsmoke]

So far the best Jurassic Park/World iceberg video!

[@ShadowsLew]

Thanks Smoke, worked really hard on this!

[@davicee36]

I genuinely love this video. Amazing stuff

[@alexanderblackburn4520]

Well we know that he wasnt one of the marines, because he literally said he was in the Navy, and i have never once heard a marine say "i am in the Navy".

[@Will-dn9dq]

The people made the t rex prop said one thing not to do to Stephen Spielberg! "Do not get it wet." 😂 proceded to put rain effects practically on it. Flooding the sponge made skin 😂

[@packard5682]

If I remember correctly the explanation for the Brachiosaurus having a cold or being sick was explained as the difference in the makeup of the atmosphere which affected the dinosaurs as it was not the same as when their ancestors were alive. And the Trike was sick, and it was figured out by Ellie that they were eating a plant from India that was brought to the island and was actually poisonous and was in the area where the Trikes were getting the stones for their stomachs that they used as a grinding source for their food.

[@TheFamishedOne]

coming from jurassic park the game the dinosaurs would die without getting a certain type of ingen food because of something that was in their cells when wu cloned them which is probably why the population of island sorna was wiped out after the park was abandoned

[@DerNomade1871]

29:36 Oh, that'll be an awesome horror concept for a fan film or game turn a simple malfunction by rain into a cursed or haunted animatronic or a better fnaf

[@sirlordofderp]

Im genuinely suprised the fact that compys eating that child in the the lost world wasnt on here.

[@sirlordofderp]

Actually it surprises me how glossed over this is in general, like it was the entire opening to the movie and ot essentially never gets mentioned. Atheist with its book equivalent it was a minor talking point.

[@MichaelLayneWeston]

She was injured, not killed.

[@sirlordofderp]

@MichaelLayneWeston true, however that still means they were thriving off the island before the events of lost world. And in the books it was an even bigger problem, as they ate a baby

[@MichaelLayneWeston]

@@sirlordofderp That took place on the island.

[@Oboechick4]

@@MichaelLayneWestonNo, in the book, the babies/children attacked by the Compies were in Costa Rica. Isla Nublar wasn’t part of that country.

[@chriskickflip1]

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember seeing that Jurassic park stuff when I was a kid at universal. For some reason I feel like it was part of the line to get on the original ride. But I don’t really remember, it was so long ago.

[@SinisterShift]

Shadows you gotta explain to me why the spino could obliterate that big spikey metal fence in JP3 to chase everyone but gave up when they closed the door to the building they ran into.

[@mcfixer9503]

it was dropped on it's head as a baby and has extremely bad object permanence problems

[@adavis1102]

Timestamp- 0:43 Shadows: “Mathematician; Ian Malcom.” Ian: “Chaotician, Chaotician actually.”

[@ericolsen5592]

9:25 Owen was never a Marine, he was in the Navy. He worked in the Marine Mammal Program which is a program in the Navy for training marine mammals, that's pretty self-explanatory. Either way he wouldn't be in a combat MOS storming beaches with Marine Corps infantry, as amazing as that theory is to imagine

[@JRS06]

I feel like someone could analyse the Lego Jurassic World TV series from 2018 to 2020. I'd like to see how people could try and fit it into the canon.

[@thomasdavies2701]

Could we get a part 2 maybe 🤔 this was awesome

[@brianorozco1074]

I would've loved to see the original Rexy animatronic from the first movie move on its own in person. I think the closest I've seen was online footage of the animatronic shaking.

[@revelare_xvii6269]

Ngl the scientifically accurate versions of certain dinosaurs are equally if not more terrifying than their Jurassic Park counterparts.

[@KS-PNW]

Re: the lysine deficiency thing That whole thing actually doesn't make any sense. No animal can produce their own lysine. Herbavores get it from plants and carnivores get it from herbavores. So essentially they've made the dinosaurs dependent on food... Which was already true lol In the book it was a little more complicated. Essentially the dinosaurs were engineered with a flaw in their digestive systems so that they would be unable to absorb lysine from their diet and required special supplements. They still evolved to compensate but it at least theoretically held up.

[@TophMaGoats]

I really wanted Maisey’s big toe to tap on the floor like the raptor and indo-raptor do. It would be fun to think that the behavior is baked into the genetically altered/bioengineered species as some weird ghost in the machine quirk and not a behavior of the original animals.

[@DragonSlayer2.0-z7z]

Red claw was so terrifying in the movie

[@greentheaxolotl74635]

Also there is a forgotten raptor named red it was a jp 3 raptor but the colors of The Atrociraptor named red. Also there is a rumor that there was another raptor named green

[@cookiedoujones7538]

I want a jurassic park horror game, but I want something veeeery specific from it I want death to cause a death screen like classic video games Theyd be done with oil paint and different depending on how you die And each one would be extremely gruesome Like if u die from a raptor you maybe see it actuvely ripping a limb off of your body as u scream and its just a still of that Or if u die from a t rex maybe u see a shot from inside the stomach where you see flesh melt from your broken bones I want gruesome stuff like that, stuff that makes you go "Oh dear god, i dont wanna see that ever again!"

[@jessilynallendilla5014]

surprised the Rexy animatronic moving on her own was so down on the list I thought everyone knew about her "eating" a technician

[@tcsinatra9176]

One of the best videos in terms of content, on KZbin… well done

[@ShadowsLew]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@CHYRRUPINZAZ]

I know this comes up in the second novel, but I would have liked to see a mention of the prions infecting dinosaurs in that novel. My memories in that novel are a little blurry but it seems to me that the animals did not fully reach adulthood when they died from the prions and that was one of the reasons why the raptors were so vicious since they did not receive the "proper" education from adult specimens.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

31:35 This was clearly a non-canon, throwaway easter egg scene. I feel this was just played for laughs, as you can see the 'dragon' is clearly one from Game of Thrones, which was also on HBO.

[@tymiller9714]

That Jurassic Park section of Universal was the BEST. Also My-an.... not me - an
