Jurassic World Review

So, before I start this entry, i want to say, I'm sorry that it took so long, and THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!!!!!!! You have been warned.

This is the Indominous Rex
I would like to start with the Indominous Rex. As you all know, this beast is the "first"  genetically modified dinosaur. I'll come back to those quotations. First of all, Indominous means "king of kings" and Rex means "king." So, technically, it's full name is "king of kings king." This dinosaur has, as you know, velociraptor DNA. There's that one part when the Indominous talks to the raptors and turns them onto the humans. In the beginning, Chris Pratt, the velociraptor whisperer, he says that it's not a power thing, it's a respect, a bond. Of course that's not word for word. So, if it's about respect, then, why do the velociraptors turn on him. Obviously, the raptors respected him when he saved the new guy from fall in the cage. So if the Indominous can just say "Well, look, you've been brainwashed and your whole life was a lie," and the raptors listen to him, then he's obviously not respected by the raptors. And, when the Indominous Rex dies from the Mosasaur, couldn't the Indominous suppress the strength of the Mosasaur? It could suppress the Tyrannosaurus Rex, so why not the Mosasaur? Alright, I'm done with the Indominous. Back to the quotations. Apparently the Indominous Rex is the first genetically modified dinosaur. That, I'm pretty sure, is a false statement. All of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are genetically modified. So we all know that there's a mosquito stuck in sap then becomes amber. Then the scientists get that amber and suck the blood out of the mosquito. But from that mosquito you only get so much dino DNA. So, the scientists patched up the holes in the DNA with frog DNA. This is where the "don't move and he can't see you" trick came from. Because they didn't have complete dinosaur DNA, they genetically modified it to become a dinosaur. Therefor, the Indominous Rex isn't really the first genetically modified dinosaur. Now, I'd like to talk about the Mosasaurus. First off, it is not that big.the Mosasaur was maybe half that, maybe not even. That thing in Jurassic World, by my guess, is either a Kronosaurus or a Liopluradon. Both huge sea creatures that did eat sharks, but even then, I don't think they'd be able to jump out of the water that high. Now for the Pterosaurs. When the helicopter crashes through the aviary, the pterosaurs were startled and started flying around, getting the idea that they were free. But, since the Indominous Rex was in there, it was causing a whole lot of commotion. So then, it broke out of the aviary with a lot of pterosaurs on its tail. Then, the pterosaurs were free and then they wreaked havoc on the little gift shop area and that whole place where there were a lot of people. But why were the pterosaurs so aggressive? In they're time, they'd just live on the cliff face by the sea and were very peaceful. So why would they be so aggressive? When they were being made, did the scientists accidentally put a hormone in that made it more aggressive? If you have any questions, let me know in the comments, I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. Here are some pictures of the dinosaurs I talked about:

Here is the pterosaurs, the ones i believe to be too aggressive.

These are the Velociraptors. The very bottom one is named Blue. The one left of blue, in the middle, is Charlie. The one at the very top, is Echo. The one right of Blue, in the middle, is named Delta.
 These are the ranks: Chris Pratt- Alpha
Blue- Beta
Delta-Delta
Charlie-Charlie
Echo-Echo

The Weird Theropod


 This, is the Dilophosaurus (di-loh-fo-SORE-uss). It was commonly mistaken as a venom-spitting tiny dinosaur, but reality says, that's all wrong. If you haven't seen Jurassic Park, I suggest you watch it. But, when you see the Dilophosaur in Jurassic Park, it'll look something like this:

Remember, Dilophosaur's DON'T look like this. Dilophosaurus lived in the early-middle Jurassic period and Dilophosaurus means "double-crested lizard." They were 16-20 feet long, and 5-6 feet high. It weighed more than 500 kilograms! It was found in North America in the U.S.A. and Asia, China. Its main diet was ornithischian dinosaurs and crocodylomorphs. I'll try to post again in about a week. Dino's rule!
