JURASSIC PARK TREX DINOSAUR SKIN
It is said that the dinosaurs had sensitive skin so they always tried to stay within the shade. In the original Jurassic Park novel, there were two Tyrannosaurus on Isla Nublar, an adult and a juvenile version but they didn’t have kind of interaction with each other. Like most predators, The Tyrannosaurus teaches its offspring to hunt once they are capable. This is similar to birds and crocodiles who guard their nests and protect their eggs from predators. It’s said in the film that they don’t wonder too far away from the infant and continue to bring it food for months. They go to great lengths to ensure their offspring’s safety and will drive out anything that is in their territory. In The Lost World, the Tyrannosaurus are shown to be a very protective parents. The roaring could just be a warning sign to warn other predators to keep out of its territory. It might not have been able to see them but roared causing them to run away. Saying that, it also roared, giving the previous theory more credence. The Tyrannosaur looked like it saw the group straight away even though they weren’t moving. Richard Levine says this concept is unlikely because many animals freeze or play dead when they are scared and thus, the T-Rex would frequently miss its prey.Īnother concept is that because the carnivores have binocular vision, they have trouble seeing their prey in the dark but can still see them perfectly in the daylight. On the other hand, in The Lost World novel, Dr. This is supported by the fact that the T-Rex always gives a huge roar causing its prey to run away. This idea is referenced in both the first and third films. Alan Grant says that the sight of the Tyrannosaurus rex is based on movement so if you don’t move, it can’t see you. There’s a lot of debate about whether or not a Tyrannosaurs’ vision is truly based on movement. The females also tend to be larger than the males. The males are greener in colour with dark green stripes on its nose, back, legs and tail. The female Tyrannosaurs are brown in colour with grey stripes on the head and tail. The young adult seen in Jurassic Park 3 was listed as being 37 feet long and about 10 feet tall. It was 40 feet long, 16 feet tall and weighed 17,500 pounds. Out of the five Tyrannosaurus that appear in the movies, the adult female seen in the first movie, is the largest. The T-Rex is capable of running up to 32 mph according to John Hammond. They were perhaps used to right itself from a prone position or to hold onto its prey which it killed them. Despite their small size, these were thought to be extremely powerful. Another feature of the creature is their very short arms which only had two clawed fingers on them. It also has an extremely heavy tail to ensure its balance. Its most distinguishing feature is its huge skull and jaw which contained razor sharp teeth, which was easily capable of biting through bones. The Tyrannosaurus rex has the largest neck muscles of any carnivore and had an extremely powerful bite force. The most complete skeleton of a T-Rex came in 1990 when Sue Hendrickson, an amateur paleontologist, discovered it in the Hell Creek Formation near Faith, South Dakota, on 12 August 1990. More fossils were found and in 1905, museum president Henry Fairfield Osborn officially named the species Tyrannosaurus Rex. The first bone fragments from one were found by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in South Dakota in 1892. The largest complete skeleton is measured at 40 feet in length, 13 feet tall at the hips and weighed up to 6.8 tons. It lived 67 to 66 million years ago in what is now known as western North America. It makes appearances in all three Jurassic Park movies. The Tyrannosaurus rex is the most well-known dinosaur in the Jurassic Park series.
