Top 10 Scientific Inaccuracies in Jurassic Park

Top 10 Scientific Inaccuracies in Jurassic Park
Probably should have "spared no expense" on the research budget. From the velociraptors' size, to the T-Rex's vision, to the lifting strength of pteranodons, the Jurassic Park franchise definitely prioritizes science fiction over science fact.

“Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.” -Henry wu

No matter the inaccuracies, it’s still a cinematic masterpiece

[Jch]

The greatest scientific inaccuracy is Bryce Howard running that fast in heels. It shouldn't be possible...

Dr wu said “ a lot of these Dino’s would look very different but you didn’t ask for reality you asked for more teeth.”

[MasterVideoStudios]

Dr. Wu explains this perfectly in Jurassic World.

"Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth."

The Inaccuracies don't bother me. The extinct animals aren't pure, they're modified clones of what they closely represent.

[iluvmcrmorethanu]

Not to be THAT person but the movies make a point of saying that these are genetically engineered animals, and not 100% dinosaurs. So, I chalk up any inaccuracies to the fact that they’re not dinosaurs, they’re genetically modified animals made to look like dinosaurs.

The mosasaurus had weight problems, leave her aloooone ☹️

If the “velociraptor” holds its hands inward though we now have the issue of raptors that could potentially use guns

QUOTE FROM JURASSIC WORLD: "Nothing in Jurassic is natural..." -Henery Wu

[唐逸豪-ob]

No.1: Velociraptor says - "Alan!"

[anelectricheart]

In the novel, Grant says the "T-Rex can't see us if we don't move", but then in The Lost World Malcolm works out that it actually could see them, it just wasn't hungry.

Jurassic in the name jurassic park doesn’t mean that the dinosaurs are from the jurassic period it’s just telling you it’s a dinosaur movie.1.06

[dudev]

People say it's just a movie, but unfortunately, the public gets its information from entertainment, not from legitimate sources.

[Ethan-enij]

Any dino fan knows that they weren’t in the J period, I’m pretty sure they did it because it sounded better.

[theboiwithapencilthegaming]

The velociraptor in the thumbnail is still inaccurate because of the way it holds its wrists

[kilometersupshore]

Its all designed to look "better" and more scary, i still love all of them even tho they dont look like they normally do, velociraptors are small like a turkey etc. I love all dinos.

John Hammond:
Welcome, To Jurassic Park



When he say it... damn.. it is so nice to hear him say that!

[VineGali]

Now tell me the accuracies of *Anaconda, Piranha, Men in black, Avengers*

[spinoplays]

The thumbnail is inaccurate. The raptor in the "real side" is also fake. Your Logic.

[SanguiniCore]

The first dinosaur hybrid they ever made couldn't be two herbivores. It HAD to be two deadly carnivores.
HAD to...
