When being confronted by the Dilophosaurus, Nedry mentions to the animal that it wasn't like it's "big brothers". Now that could confirm that the Dilophosaurs we see in the movies are younglings or he could be referring to T-Rex and the raptors, I'd like to think it was the latter. 😁

[@calebbowles5927]

Was just about to comment this! I always thought that maybe he kind of had an idea of what that animal was, but knew it wasn’t as big as they could get. Maybe he didn’t expect it to still be dangerous? But like you said he could have also been referring to the Tyrannosaur so 🤷‍♂️

The Dilophosaurus in "Jurassic Park" was one of the scariest things from my childhood, especially with its infamous neck frill. And speaking of dinosaur parks, my family and I went to a place called Dinosaur World years ago in Florida and we saw two Dilo statues there. One was the JP version which explained its inaccuracies, and the other was a more realistic version.

[@toxicjay8562]

The one with the blue acrocanthosaurus statue with the yellow underbelly and spots?

[@garristhemont1586]

The reason why Dilophosaurus spits venom in Jurassic Park to begin with is bc, at the point the book was being written, it was believed the animal didn't have a super strong bite. So it was given the ability to spit acidic venom for speculative compensation as well as making it really fucking scary

[@zoekassoff6003]

In prior extinction some kid asked how to spit venom and the whole chat laughed.

[@GTSE2005]

I hope that more people will see Dilophosaurus as something more than "the spitting dino"

[@sandeepkunwar9518]

Well let's just hope....

[@whitewolf3051]

You might want to check art works by BlueCea under “Palaeo Caravan” or NathanRosario’s “Dinosaur Rider,” where they are depicted being ridden by a person.

[@urcryingteacup]

yeah especially because they would NOT have spit venom

[@tyrantking7649]

I don't blame him for forgetting, it would've been nice if it was in the show

[@coltontodd353]

Thought I would remind you that when the time for Alamosaurus comes, it was featured in the dinosaur episode of The Magic School Bus.

[@EvolvedGodzilla360]

In the dinotrux Netflix series, dilophosaurus was in the series, but they had features from the Jurassic Park dilophosaurus and they spat glue

[@MrT_Rex]

2 crests Many interpretations Always awesome (kinda)

[@Dodds57]

You don’t seem to cover books, but Dilophosaurus had a good appearance in the manga series Dinosaur Sanctuary. I also strongly advise checking that series out. It a very chill & fun slice of life story about zoo keepers in a rundown zoo for dinosaurs.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

It’s on my list! It looks very interesting

[@EpicJasonX9000]

the best answer I can give in terms of the lore is that Dr Wu inserted different genes into these animals and the Dilophosaurus had different genes in it that gave it it's frill & venom spit. Dr Wu has had a history of combining different animal cells to create his creations such as the Indominus Rex & Indoraptor. plus, they did say that the dinosaurs were cloned using frog DNA to fill in the gene sequence gaps. so, genetic engineering must of required a lot of borrowing other species genes to create these animals which is why these creatures are more closer to hybrids than actual dinosaurs. think of them as the Jurassic Park versions of Mewtwo in which they are slightly enhanced with different features. the T-Rex with it's increased speed, the Raptor's increased size and heightened intelligence, and the Dilo's frill & venom spit.

[@babyborb]

To the part about roaring, crocodilans actually can make sounds that are similar to roaring. I've seen lots of videos of crocodiles making sounds and they can do roaring-like noises (more close to bellowing though), and pretty hearable ones too. Tyrannosaurus in Prehistoric Planet makes similar noises. I know it's not the same as a tiger roraing for example, but it sounds similar. Like here kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYvViXd5q5qCjsksi=couMqgjVIlq8QynG and here kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2itnWtor8qEgLcsi=Cs7WijO0EJllzXiE

[@prehistoricchannel128]

Yes. I said the very same thing, in the very same video we’re commenting on. Crocodillians produce noises by forcing air through their esophagus. The same is likely true for non avian dinosaurs.

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

its not actual roaring, tho. its glorified hissing

[@Dalekzilla54]

I remember Paraworld also had frilled Dilos.

[@alphakraut]

Dilophosaurus and Ceratosaurus are my favourite dinosaurs since my childhood.

[@the_death_phantom533]

Also if you looked closely at the purple crested skin of the Dilophosaurus in Prehistoric Kingdom you will notice that it has feathers on its back, they're just not super noticeable.

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

Dilophosaurus is an awesome animal, and my favorite has to be the one from WDRA and overall again am so glad you did a video about this amazing dinosaur ❤

I love that this is my favourite animal from the JP movie, as well as one of my top favourite carnivores in real life, despite how massively different they are.

[@HobGungan]

Dilophosaurus is my all-time favorite animal in the fossil record. I enjoy most of the entries you listed that I was previously aware of. It's also on my Fossil Fighters team - Water elemental, it does have the JP frill, but it's got a BEAUTIFUL blue and purple coloration.

I too have been to the Dinosaur Journey Museum in Fruita, Colorado a couple of times in my life; the water-spitting animatronic Dilophosaurus there was built by an animatronics company that was big in the 80s and early-to-mid 90s dubbed _Dinamation International Corporation._ They're no longer around, unfortunately (😔), but a good number of the animatronic dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures they built still survive, and the museum in Fruita is one such location.

[@KaiVentura]

I was at the Light Box conference when Mark “Crash” McCreery (dinosaur designer for Jurassic Park) teased why the Dilo was so small. Basically Steven came up to him when he was designing the creature and said “….remember crash, this animal needs to fit into a car”. So apparently they design the Dilo around the scene and not the other way around.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

Add that to the list. The DVD commentary mentioned that they were worried the audience would confuse it with the velociraptors, so it was scaled down partially for that reason.

[@KaiVentura]

They really have little faith on the audience

[@t-r-e-x452]

It also appeared in a game called Dinosaur Hunting which was made by a person who worked on Monster Hunter. It does have a frill but one made of feathers.

[@RokuroCarisu]

It also appeared a couple of times on Dink the Little Dinosaur, where it was decently sized, quite muscular, and colored mustard yellow. Noteworthy is that in one scene, two were shown headbutting like pachycephalosaurs. Dilophosaurus certainly couldn't do that.

[@rubenvanessen1743]

My guess for the smaller dilo in JP is that having a novel accurate d3ath for Nedry would have made the age category of the movie way higher.

[@GarysmostlyMonitors]

They could save the whole dino by going the toddler route. They have frills and spit venom as a baby and as they grow up they loose the ability and grow out of the frills. Idk.

[@Katarn84]

In the 1995 anime "Kyōryū bōken jura tripper", there's an episode (the 26th, you can find it here on youtube) featuring Dilophosaurus as the main antagonist, and they spit venom like in JP, no frill though.

[@christosdoesthings]

12:53 Cool fun fact: Venomous dilophosaurus wasnt completelt made up, allegedly (im saying allegedly as i dont have acess to the paper myself) an old paper from the 80s mentioned that the long tooths in the notch might have bent used to inject venom, since at the time they thought dilophosaurus had a fragile skull and weak bite force, the fragile skull and weak biteforce however were found to be false in the 2020 redescription.

[@oliverking7227]

You should have a look at the Minecraft mod “prehistoric nature” it has over 800 prehistoric animals from the pre-cambrian all the way to the Jurassic at the moment the Jurassic is still being worked on so yea but they are going until the present day the creatures are as accurate as they can be within the restrictions of Minecraft and they will update animals and there models if new research comes out on them with noticeable differences

[@Falconaught]

In terms of Dilophosaurus being venomous, I believe the thinking in the 80s-90s was that the animal's bite force seemed low for a predator of its size, leading some paleontologists to speculate that it may have used venom similar to a komodo dragon.

[@TalesZilla]

I hope it isn't to late to mention, but there is also a Dilophosaurus in the Ps3 game, Tokyo Jungle.

[@Aethra.]

Another thing that you forgot to mention is that the Jurassic Park novel Dilophosaurus beside having a more accurate size, they also lack the frill like in the movie, and it seem to be cable of lifting am overweighted man like Nedry up with just it jaws with ease which is plausible since new study show that the Dilophosaurus actually have quite a strong jaws, capable of bite through bones. So that mean the Dilophosaurus in the novel are actually quite accurately even for this time, the only thing that is not accurate is it venom spitting, but overall everything else is very accurate.

[@Firestar-TV]

In Jurassic park I don't believe that they made the dilophosaurus small and gave it a frill to differentiated it from the other theropod dinosaurs because the dilophosaurus literally has two massive distinctive and unique crest on its head, with a feature like that how can you confuse it with the other dinosaurs

[@Bagelgeuse]

I agree that the frills are unnecessary, but considering the amount of ppl that think every large theropod is a T. rex, I can understand why they gave it frills.

I thought it was weird that they didn't just introduce a "fully grown" dilophosaurus. They probably could have replaced the baryonyx from Fallen Kingdom with a fully grown dilophosaurus. It is smaller but probably would have been able to fill the same role that the baryonyx does in that movie.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

Truly a missed opportunity.

[@Auzzy_-jo1qw]

@@tokensdeez that's fine

[@tokensdeez]

@@Auzzy_-jo1qw Sorry again, I didn't read your comment properly, I was very tired

[@Bagelgeuse]

It's just creative freedom. Alan Grant doesn't question the tour voice when it says Dilophosaurus was poisonous. The frill was added so normies wouldn't confuse it with the Velociraptors (IMO the crests should've been enough but it's fine). Also, the cobras you're probably referring to dont spit venom the way the JP Dilo does. Spitting cobras squeeze their venom glands, forcing the venom out of forward-facing holes in their fangs. JP's Dilo spits venom from glands in its throat. You can see the glands more clearly in the film's concept art.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

In terms of Jurassic park, the only DNA used to fill in the gaps was that of frogs. And the only effect that had was allowing the animals to change sex. The design of the Dilophosaurus was done purely for out of universe filmmaking decisions.

[@bawn_bawn]

@@BagelgeuseAlan grant was a specialist in raptors, though. And dilos were quite unheard of in 1993.

[@Pomnixxdc123]

In the movies the dilo looks like that because of the genetics needed to finish the DNA sequence.

[@prehistoricchannel128]

What kind of frog will give it a frill? The only thing the splicing has an effect on, is that it allows the animals to change their sex so that “life can find a way”. The “change in an appearance” thing is an explanation the newer movies use to justify certain design choices. Out of universe, the filmmakers had completely different intentions while making this movie.

The frill of the JP dilophosaurus is not too far off as in that way it has a kind of complex display structure and makes it least shrink wrapped and some dinosaurs may also have been venamous but we just do not know.

[@Bagelgeuse]

JP's Dilophosaurus is inspired by frilled lizards, which have a long hyoid bone to support their frills. Dilophosaurus is not known to have such bony correlates. The JP Dilo is shrinkwrapped regardless, as the ribs are visible underneath the skin. It's possible that some dinosaurs were venomous, but currently, we haven't found any.
