Jurassic Park and Jurassic World: 3 scientific errors (and sharp edges) of the movie saga

“Tienes that record the cells of Jurassic Park not his documentary “, the BBC World Cup Jack Horner, the paleontologist reconnaissance asesoró a Steven Spielberg during the production of Jurassic Park y The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

It’s because on the BBC World Cup we decided to talk about what to look for, paleontologists, to learn about some of the most obscure (and misunderstood) scientists who tend to have movies in the saga of Jurassic Park.

1. The tyrannosaurus rex and the giganotosaurio nunca existieron juntos

The salvation between the tyrannosaurus and the gigantosaurus nunca hubiera podido okurrir for many factors, the assurance of the BBC Mundo the paleontologist and paleontologist aficionado Riley Black, who facilitates the production of Jurassic Worldthe fourth layer of the saga.

“Not all dinosaurs live in millions of years on one another, living in different continents.”

The tyrannosaurus rex lives in the finals of the Cretaceous period, reaching 68 million years old, where it is North America, while the giant giant ocean lives 99 million years old, where it is native to South America.

Pero no solo convivieron el tiranosaurio y el giganotosaurio. Black explicitly states that the variations of the animals that appear in the prologue of the film that are set apart by stages and region.

The iguanodonta, which apparently for the first time in France, lives 120 million acres in Europe, and the nasopharynx, which, if it is confined to a triceratops, receives 76 million acres.

“And we’ve been obsessed with the Hollywood theme, because monsters are playing with each other,” Black said, adding that there was a lot of fiction.

2. The velociraptor is only plumas

One of the errors that scientists have recovered from the saga is either the model of the velociraptor, other than the dead mortars.

“We see that the raptor dinosaurs, the little crocodile, debuted ten plums,” said BBC World’s Jack Horner, a key factor in the production of Jurassic Parkthe first cell in which the “raptor” appears.

“Steven y yo lo discutimos, pero era tecnológicamente imposible.

“And we’s not looking at plumas plumas and a títere, ¡se vería estipido!”

Black explicit that the velociraptor design of Jurassic Park se asemeja m as a lo que se se conoce de otro animal prehistoric.

“The velociraptor in the first film received an error from the company, because in Michael Crichton’s novel he was inspired by a specific book ‘Dinosaurs Predatorios of the World’ which contains the news of a dinosaur dinosaur,” said Black Paleonto.

Describe it as a dinosaur of the human body, which is made of manada. A dinosaur much more paradoxical than that Michael Crichton bautized in his novel as “velociraptor”.

Scientists believe that the velociraptor real wind is a small animal, no bigger than a peacock, and establishing a plume of feathers all over the body.

3. Les faltan mcols colors

Horner explicitly said that it does not work because it is contracted as a conscious accessory for Jurassic Parksi al final Spielberg hizo lo que tenía que hacer para entretener.

“It’s interesting that they treat me to the board because it does not ensure my conclusions, because they want a degree of credibility and they want to change the way they look like they are.”

One of the decisions with which Horner does not agree is the color of the animals.

“I felt it was [los dinosaurios] eran much more colors than lo hemos hecho. Your descendants, las aves, en muchas ocasiones son muy coloridas. “I do not know what to do with the colors of the living colors”.

“Steven no quería hacerlo, decia de los dinosaurs en technicoror no daban adequate miedo”.

Pero Horner agrees that much of what the original sample film is based on the principle available in the 90’s.

“The principles of the ’90s do not mean that we have to obtain DNA from fossilized samples, and we all wonder about people trying to get DNA from fossilized insects. It’s like Michael Crichton was writing, the era that science is establishing at the moment.”

David Hone, paleontologist at Queen Mary University of London, told BBC World that, despite the saga’s emphasis on entertainment, there are many aspects that are centered in the evidence.

“The example that always does is the stegosaurus. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (que todo el mundo llama Jurassic Park 2“have a sequence with three stegosaurs, adults and a baby”.

“Even though it’s very big, it’s a lot of details. There are a lot of details that can be debated, but they are basically very urgent.”

And además assured that dinosaur species and astronomical levels have become popular.

“The tyrannosaurus is the only dinosaur that has ever been recorded. It does not have time in China, but the goose is also known to the dinosaurs, and it is thought that T. rex is not all but known as a North American animal. Pero the children in China is safe from tyranny. “

And then there are the three paleontological coincidences: in deciding which one has the most realistic elements, the other fiction and the other erroneous, the important Jurassic Park always the entertainment.

“[Crichton] Tenía muchas cosas verídicas [en la novela] and Steven uso mucho de eso. Michael establishes writing an entertaining book and Steven establishes hacking an entertaining movie. Ninguno’s los quería hacer algo de documentary style “, said Jack Horner about the work of Steven Spielberg.

“Do you play with what you read, right?”
