The Reason Jurassic World Dinosaurs Arent Scientifically Accurate

Like John Hammond’s original dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, the artificially-created creatures in Jurassic World are far removed from what they actually looked like millions of years ago. The Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchises are centered on the majesty of dinosaurs, but their main message is also that playing with nature always leads to catastrophe. Although the original idea for the first Jurassic Park was admiration for the long-gone creatures, the fact that their return was achieved through artificial methods meant that they would never be the same creatures that used to roam the Earth.

The dinosaurs in the first three Jurassic Park movies were arguably as close to reality as real-life scientific research has gotten. Yet, there are many questions about their physiology that remain unanswered. Some of the most popular mysteries include the possibility of feathers and fur in certain dinosaurs, how they became warm-blooded, and which species takes the crown as the definitive “biggest dinosaur ever.” Therefore, Jurassic Park’s dinosaurs may be less scientifically accurate than people think. Still, they’re certainly much more accurate than Jurassic World’s Indominus Rex and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s Indoraptor.

Many factors are to blame for the huge success and even bigger failure of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World theme parks. However, one single change is behind the enhanced brutality of the dinosaurs in the latter. When Jurassic World doubles down on the “monster” part of the creatures with the creation of hybrid dinosaurs, Dr. Henry Wu, head geneticist of InGen, explains that scientific accuracy wasn’t the objective: “Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals,” he explains to Simon Masrani. The Indominus Rex’s violent tendencies shock Mr. Masrani, and Henry Wu clarifies that he should be afraid of the hybrid dinosaur, as “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.” This explains why the dinosaurs are increasingly scientifically inaccurate as the series progresses.

The Jurassic World trilogy has been criticized for drifting away from the scientific accuracy that made the original movie so beloved. However, while the dinosaurs have continued to look more outlandish as the series evolves, the fact is that none of the animals portrayed in any film can claim to be 100% accurate recreations. Real velociraptors, for instance, were covered in feathers and about the size of a turkey – far removed from the creatures seen stalking Lex and Tim in the 1993 blockbuster. Therefore, while the Jurassic World series has taken the trend to new extremes, it certainly isn’t in uncharted waters for the franchise.

It’s also true to say that, despite the seemingly reckless pursuit of profits, the degree of stubbornness that goes into designing bigger and scarier dinosaurs after the tragedy of the original Jurassic Park also isn’t too far from reality. Most viewers may have thought that the dangers of a new Jurassic Park were far too obvious to be believable, but putting consumers in danger for the sake of business isn’t more unrealistic than resurrected dinosaurs, much less in regards to matters of nature and the environment. As long as people like Dr. Henry Wu, Mr. Masrani, and even the seemingly benevolent John Hammond exist in the Jurassic Park universe, more and more experiments will pop up from the world’s brightest minds, to catastrophic results. Logically, tinkering with nature tends to result in tragedy, as Michael Crichton’s book and Stephen Spielberg’s original movie stated from the very beginning. Indeed, “more teeth” is more exciting than leaving nature alone, but at what cost?
