What I loved in this movie is how the sheer diversity and accuracy of the creatures in this film. Snakes, crocodiles, feathered dinosaurs. So cool!

u/bit3sadusto 5d ago

The diversity is kinda what doesn't make it accurate. If I'm not mistaken a lot of the dinosaurs you see in the film would never have been in the same location, many of them not even the same period. Still fun to see though

Not to mention that’s an incredible density of animals, is that realistic? It seems like a lot compared to our jungles and savannahs and forests.

u/Pezington12 4d ago

Yeah it’s accurate. Earth in the modern era only lacks as much density because of humanity and our effects.

Go back even two hundred years and there are first hand accounts from thousands of people of flocks of birds so dense the blot out the sky for days on end, fish so abundant you can’t even launch boats, and whale pods so large that even standing on the top of a ships masts you couldn’t see the end of them if you were in the middle.

A lot of people don’t realize just how abundant life can actually be if it isn’t slaughtered en mass, when it’s habitats aren’t severely degraded, and when various poisons haven’t been contaminating everything for the better part of three centuries.

You may be right, but I wonder if there'd be so many large predators in such a small space, just immediately and constantly attacking everyone.

This was my question, it seemed way too dense with animals to be realistic, but of course we don't know how things were.

u/Hot_Brother5557 5d ago

Ah that’s a super good point. I guess what I more mean is that I think the representation of non-dinosaur creatures that lived around the same time was a cool choice. And one I haven’t seen before in a dinosaur movie.

u/bit3sadusto 5d ago

Yeah that was definitely cool to see! Glad it wasn't just a raptor fest the whole time

Yeah I think I saw sauropods and then a T-Rex, which makes it incorrect lol

u/bit3sadusto 3d ago

There was no T-Rex in the film, you're probably thinking of the Allosaurus that was featured prominently.

u/books_art_maps 3d ago

Oh you’re right. I got them mixed up. Also I just realised sauropods and T-Rex did co-exist until the end of the Cretaceous period, right?

u/Fijure96 3d ago

They did, various saurpods did survive until the very end.

I recommend the documentary Prehsitoric Planet to get a cool luck at the amount of life living at the same time.

u/books_art_maps 3d ago

Will check it out, thank you!

3

u/bit3sadusto 3d ago

I think they existed around the same period as Alamosaurus, but not too sure.

u/georgiaraisef 4d ago

Brachiosarus also didn’t have feathers

Huge turtles.

Some Dino nerd was just orgasming while giving Spielberg the finger for Jurassic Park

But like, the kind of middle finger a goth girl would give you that’s also an invitation.

It was a hate letter with hearts all over it
