Jurassic Park Series

[Gate]

All that is fine and dandy but if the animals in this film also end up having mammal dna to specifically change their behaviour and inteligence.... Your complaint will be moot.

Anyway, even in the unused JP4 script, the "tamed" raptors werent rolling around in the fields waiting for scientists to pet them.. they were violent animals that were constantly strategizing ways to escape their captivity. The director already said the raptors arent gonna be "dog-like pets" in this... just predators in search of prey.

How do you propose mammalian DNA is fused with Archosaurian DNA?

[OmegaZilla]

JP3 wanted to portray particularly smart raptors... in the beginning they talk about how the ones seen previously were smarter than dolphins and apes -- go figure.

I'm glad you asked..



Answer here:

SCIENCE.

More like Science!

Science can not fuse two completely different classes.



Archosauria and Amphibia/Reptilia are very similar, which is why it worked. Class Mammalia and Class Archosauria are worlds different despite being under the majority of land dwelling "chordata". Furthermore, ingelligence is not a genetic trait that you can claim was "fused"; the movies portray the animals as being likened to the intelligence of Whales and Primates.

I took an entire year for Zoological studies. Not even science can trump this. If it does, then Jurassic Park is no longer set in realistic sci-fi.

Yeh...I think the guys above implied the "Pseudo-" before the "Science"

When I see inaccurate entomology in films it really irks me, being an insect hobbyist...I feel your zoological pain.

No hybridisation, sure. But it can do gene splicing:

Terrifying.

It never was to begin with The entire premise of the original film is scientifically absurd. DNA only has a half life of 500 years or so.

[Blacklabel]

..shush.... let them inhabit their realistic scifi dreamland.

That doesn't mean it's gone in 521 years. You could still realistically get DNA from a million years old bones, and I have no idea about buried tree sap.

This doesn't really need to be said, but over 1.5 million years would be unreadable, so yes, Dinosaurs 65+ million years old would be utterly impossible.

[Blacklabel]

Noooooo You just destroyed their illusion that Jurassic Park is realistic scifi! FILM IS RUINEDZORZ!

..who cares.

No shit. Hence the entire premise of the original film being scientifically absurd.

[BANE]

Jesus people calm down I'm agreeing with you.

[Blacklabel]

No, Bane. tis unforgivable.

Now Gate is gonna stalk you until the end of time because you explained why the film is scientifically unfeasable and thus ruined it FOREVER.

lol.

[orchidal]

If the survivors of JP1 found out by the climax that all those goddamned dirty dinosaurs who'd been hunting them down were really just high functioning animatronics, real science would have been served.....
