I really love this scene because it shows that these people have an actual passion for the dinosaurs before it all went wrong.

[DarthSyonFilms]

I absolutely love Ellie and Alan's reactions when they first see the Triceratops. Really drives home the wonder of these animals

[sammysstopmotionoas]

The special effects in this movie are still absolutely incredible!

[suremuffin]

Alan's favorite dinosaur growing up finally met her in person

1:17 This little bit right here gives me chills every time! It's just as magical now as it was when I was a kid.

[joeshar.]

2:47 No! You can't be as cool as Ian walking to a dino's dropping

[chanchaniceman]

Ellie crying of happiness would be my reaction if I get to see my favorite animal up close and personal which would be an Orca/Killer Whale. These small details are truly of what made the first JP films so amazing

[TheMovieDoctorful]

The sad thing about this scene is that, wonderous as it is, it's clear that Hammond's staff has no idea how to care for these animals. Poor thing is so sick.

I'm so happy that we got a LEGO Jurassic Park set based on this moment.

"You will remember to wash your hands before you EAT anything!😎"

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[brainrich]

This was apparently the casts first time seeing one of the special effect dinosaurs in person. So their reactions are genuine.

[Rockhound]

In case you need to see the stupidity of people, someone took a publicity still of Steven Spielberg in front of this Tric and captioned it that Spielberg brought it down on safari. People actually got angry at Spielberg for killing an innocent triceratops.

I just love Ellie's reaction above any reaction/interaction in the entire franchise. Her tears of joy move me. If i was staring my favorite exotic animal (whale or elephant) in the eye and physically touching it, i would just be so overwhelemed with happiness. And to add to her character, she got STRAIGHT TO WORK in helping aid the poor, sick trike. Examining its saliva, investigating the plant and vegetation, digging SHOULDER-DEEP into dino-droppings!!! It's characters like Ellie's that really got me into zoology/biology growing up. Wildlife deserves EVERY OUNCE of our respect and love❤

Triceratops was a horned dinosaur, up to 26-30 feet long, and weighed 8 tons! It was one of the last dinosaurs that became extinct 65 million years ago!

"You will remember to wash your hands before you eat anything "😆😆😆

[zacx]

After 20+’years, I just realized Samuel Jackson is in Jurasssic Park . 😂

[charlesgreen]

“There’s only one way to be positive, ide have to see the dinosaurs droppings!”

“Dino Droppings?…Droppings?!”

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[jcmat]

INTERESTING TIDBIT: the Triceratops’ caretaker is played by Gerald R. Molen, one of the film’s co-producers, who also co-produced Schindler’s List and won an Oscar for it, the same year…

[redx]

In the Jurassic lore. after the fall of Jurassic Park in 1993, a sick triceratops has die in 1994 so, I’m guessing it was the one that alan grant encountered was the one that die.

[BlacKnightRising]

no matter how great the CGI, it still can't compare to practical FX done well
