I think it's safe to say that any dinosaur would be more terrifying in real life than in a movie
-
Considering that some scientists think T-rex could be up to 30% bigger than previous studies, it isn't too hard to think that they could be even more terrifying than in the movies.
-
Fun fact: Wayne Knight, who played Dennis Nedry, was extremely disappointed that his character death was toned down so heavily for the movie. In the book, the Dilo was MUCH bigger, though not quite to scale, and it slashed Nedry across the abdomen, spilling his insides before chomping down on his head and actually lifting him into the air. The movies really did the Dilo dirty
-
If Spielberg adapted the Dilophosaurus killing Nedry word for word from the Crichton novel, it would have locked the film into an R-rating. Similarly, the Raptors would have been no less terrifying if they were the size of lions rather than humans.
-
Dilophosaurus has always been a very unique dinosaur. It’s quite primitive, living in the earliest Jurassic, yet it still was very impressive, in size and appearance.
-
The original Jurassic Park novel describes this dinosaur in a lot more accurate and horrifying way, it's definetly a way better representation for the animal. I also really think the Dilo shown in the film was just a juvenile.
-
Dilophosaurus needs no durability buff. The holotype had one severely broken arm and shoulder girdle, and the other had a condition that would regularly cause dislocation. Both of which had started to heal, so very clearly staying alive and kicking, and biting, and tearing.
-
The Dilophosaurus proves to be a true monarch of the Jurassic, surpassing cinematic representations. Congratulations on the video!
-
Ironic that they downsized Diloposaurus because they upsized Velocotaptor.
-
Honestly the fact that birds are dinosaurs makes dinosaurs MORE terrifying. I'm quite fond of birds and frankly a lot of them make me nervous.
-
Alright! Just got home from work, walked the dog, got a snack, and now I'm watching dinosaur content. It's been a good day!
-
I quite like that the makers of Jurassic Park used some artistic licence with Dilophosaurus, even if the spitting venom & neck frill were almost certainly not present on the living animals. I've no doubt that many dinosaurs had features that are not evident from just looking at the fossil record. I'm sure there would be many surprises if we could see them in real life.
-
So... he was like the grandfather of Allosaurus, a vicious hunter that would attack prey despite the odds of being severely injured, lions of the Jurassic.
-
I wouldn't call it the only one, I think Tyrannosaurus is a lot scarier than any of it's movie counterparts too. I dunno maybe it's just me but I think a 10 ton carnivore being quiet is a lot scarier than having it stomp around and roar, giving me plenty of time to run away or hide.
-
I had always assumed the one in the first Jurassic Park was a juvenile. Which it’s why it was extra stupid of dominion to bring them back but keep them small
-
I really thank you that you show the Dilophosaurus some love and give it some attention. Such a unique and often overlooked animal, just because in the Dino world, size is allegendly everything!
-
"Take my strong hand!" "No! Give me your OTHER hand!"
-
Dilophosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, something about its misrepresentation and how truly impressive it was in the early jurassic drew me in, and I love learning all I can about it. I never knew about the plethora of deformities and wounds on the fossils, and am glad to see the unique traits addressed. Loved the video, and hopefully the world can get to see the true beauty of prehistory
-
Very hard to believe that there are still so many people who believes that dinosaurs never existed.
-
Someone should tell artists that pupil shape matters, round pupils are for animals like humans, tigers, and birds. Vertical pupils are for small, low to the ground animals like foxes and kitty cats. The largest animal of its time with binocular vision will not have vertical pupils.
