Q&A

Why do the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park look different from current scientific understanding?

Jurassic Park was made before the latest scientific discoveries and therefore relied on existing knowledge at the time.

What is the size difference between T-rex and Giganotosaurus?

There is not a significant size difference between T-rex and Giganotosaurus, both being large meat-eating dinosaurs.

What is the difference between a Velociraptor and an Utahraptor?

Utahraptor is a larger dinosaur from the same family as Velociraptor and is more accurate for representing the raptors in the movies.

Did dinosaurs have feathers?

Why did you choose to depict the dinosaurs in their natural habitats?

Depicting dinosaurs in their natural habitats allows for a more accurate representation and understanding of their behavior.
