Info
Tyrannosaurus rex Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY One of the most famous dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park series, the Tyrannosaurus rex was portrayed very true to its real counterpart, such as in the second film, being parents to its offspring. In the third film, a male only made an appearance when it battled a Spinosaurus and was defeated. In the first film, the T. rex is 40 feet (12 m) long, 13 feet (4.0 m) at the hips and weighs 17,500 pounds (7,900 kg)[citation needed], about 50 percent heavier than an African elephant. The female Tyrannosaurus rex are cinnamon with grey stripes on the head and tail and the males are jade green with dark green stripes on its nose, back, legs and tail. In Jurassic World, the Tyrannosaurus rex (from the first film) had a bigger fight with the Indominus rex and killed it successfully with a Velociraptor and a Mosasaurus.
Velociraptor Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY In all of the Jurassic Park films, the Velociraptor was one of the most commonly seen dinosaurs on the islands. They were portrayed to be the most intelligent and one of the most vicious of all the dinosaurs throughout the film series. In all of the films, the characters often referred to the Velociraptor simply as "raptors". The films also depict Velociraptor as significantly larger than its actual size (2' tall, 6-7' long). In the beginning of the first film, Alan Grant discovers a fossil he estimates at about 6' tall and 9' long, and the raptors in the park are roughly that size. Actually, the dinosaurs portrayed in the film as "Velociraptors" are almost identical to the real life Deinonychus, which is another genus. It is speculated that this incorrect portrayal came about because of mislabelling of Deinonychus as a subspecies of Velociraptor in the 1988 American book, Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, whose author, Gregory Paul, is credited as an inspiration by Crichton at the end of his first novel. In Jurassic World, Owen Grady was the trainer of a small pack of Velociraptors, which he named Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Despite their bond, they temporarily fell under the control of Indominus rex, but they rekindled their bond with Owen and managed to defeat the Indominus rex.
Triceratops Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Although it has always been a popular dinosaur, the Triceratops did not have any major roles after the first film. In the first film, it was found sick and was being cared for by Ellie Sattler (portrayed by Laura Dern) and Dr. Harding. In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Triceratops was captured by InGen-hired hunters, and was later released, demolishing the hunters' tents. In Jurassic Park III, a herd of Triceratops is seen very briefly in the flyby scene with the other herds. In Jurassic World, it was seen both in the petting zoo as well as the Gyrosphere ride.
Stegosaurus Green tickY * Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY In the second film, a group of Stegosaurus saw Sarah taking pictures of a baby Stegosaurus and believed that she was trying to harm it and charged. The Stegosaurus were also a victim of the dinosaur hunters, but along with all of the others were eventually released. The name "Stegasaurus" (a typo) was seen next to a vial in the Cold Storage Room scene in Jurassic Park, where Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) is stealing each embryo.
Parasaurolophus Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Red XN Green tickY These dinosaurs are seen in each movie. In Jurassic Park, they are seen along with Brachiosaurus feeding near a pond. In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Parasaurolophus were captured by the dinosaur hunters but were freed along with the others. In Jurassic Park III, they were seen along with Corythosaurus. In Jurassic World, it was seen briefly during the Gyrosphere ride.
Gallimimus Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Red XN Green tickY * In the first film, Hammond's grandchildren and Alan Grant encounter a herd of Gallimimus, one of which was killed by a T. rex.
Brachiosaurus Green tickY Green tickY * Green tickY Red XN Green tickY * Red XN The Brachiosaurus was the first dinosaur to appear in the film (with the exception of the Velociraptor in the beginning) in what Empire called the 28th most magical moment in cinema. They were first seen feeding on tree branches and swimming in the rivers. They are later seen when Alan and Hammond's grandchildren spend the night in a tree. They were shown only briefly in the third film. In the first novel, Apatosaurus appears instead of Brachiosaurus, and in one chapter Tim incorrectly comments to himself, in response to a comment about the latter's size, that Brachiosaurus is three times larger than Apatosaurus.
Dilophosaurus Green tickY Green tickY * Green tickY * Green tickY * Green tickY Red XN Dilophosaurus was supposed to be part of the first park tour in Jurassic Park, but was not seen. When Dennis Nedry was trying to fix his Jeep and got stuck in the mud, he was savagely blinded and killed by a Dilophosaurus. While the film's Dilophosaurus was too small and had a fleshy frill around its neck as well as being venomous, the novel's Dilophosaurus is correctly sized and lacks the frill. Dilophosaurus can be seen in the second film on the computer display inside the trailer. It can be also seen on a chart in the abandoned lab in the third film along with several other dinosaurs. Dilophosaurus makes two brief appearances in Jurassic World, as a hologram in the Visitor's Center and being mentioned in a sequence in which its venom paralyzes Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon.
Compsognathus Red XN Green tickY Green tickY Red XN Red XN Red XN These small dinosaurs make an appearance in the second film, in which a pack of several Compsognathus killed Dieter Stark. They also make a brief appearance in the third film. Procompsognathus is featured in the novels rather than its descendant, Compsognathus.
Pteranodon Red XN Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY Red XN Red XN At the end of The Lost World, several are shown flying above the Stegosaurus herd. Their most notable appearance was in Jurassic Park III, when Dr. Alan Grant and the others went into the bird cage where they were attacked by them. They also make a notable appearance in Jurassic World, when they and the Dimorphodon are freed from their containment by Indominus rex and soon wreak havoc on the tourists.
Pachycephalosaurus Red XN Green tickY Red XN Green tickY Red XN Green tickY In the second film, a group of poachers were attempting to capture numerous species (including Pachycephalosaurus), but when the animals are freed from containment, the Pachycephalosaurus breaks out and charges at the hunters. In the fourth film, a Pachycephalosaurus briefly appears on a screen inside the control room.
Spinosaurus Red XN Red XN Green tickY Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Jurassic Park III scientific advisor, Jack Horner, decided to retire T. rex after its appearance in the previous two films, and brought Spinosaurus into the franchise for the third film. In this film, the Spinosaurus along with the Velociraptor (again) is the main antagonist. The Spinosaurus is known to be larger than a Tyrannosaurus rex, which it defeated in the film. It is portrayed to be 50 feet (15 m) long, 16 feet (4.9 m) at the hips [excluding its fin] and weighing 12 tonnes (12,000 kg).
Ankylosaurus Red XN Red XN Green tickY Green tickY Red XN Red XN These dinosaurs are briefly seen in Jurassic Park III, but do not act as any main dinosaurs in the film. In Jurassic World, four Ankylosaurus are chased by the Indominus rex when they are encountered by Gray and Zach in the Gyrosphere, and one of them is killed by Indominus rex.
Apatosaurus Red XN Green tickY * Red XN Green tickY Green tickY Green tickY The first dinosaurs seen on the island. It is replaced by Brachiosaurus in the first film and by Mamenchisaurus in the second. In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, there are the bones, primarily vertebrae, of Apatosaurs seen in the Velociraptor nest, and Ian, Kelly and Sarah pass a carcass of an Apatosaurus on their way into the Worker Village. Apatosaurus made an appearance in Jurassic World, in the petting zoo and Gyrosphere as well as when several injured specimens are encountered by Owen and Claire after being attacked by Indominus rex.
Dimorphodon Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Red XN Dimorphodon made an appearance in Jurassic World, when they are freed from the aviary by Indominus rex and soon wreak havoc on the tourists alongside the Pteranodon.
Mosasaurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Red XN Mosasaurus inhabits a lagoon in the Jurassic World theme park, where it features its own attraction, the "Mosasaurus Feeding Show", in which it is fed great white sharks. The Mosasaurus played a part in the defeat of Indominus rex, where it dragged it into the lagoon after it was cornered by the Tyrannosaurus rex and a Velociraptor.
Indominus rex Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Red XN Indominus rex is a new, genetically modified, hybrid mutant dinosaur and the main antagonist in Jurassic World. The film's website states that it was created from the DNA of Tyrannosaurus rex, Giganotosaurus, Rugops, Majungasaurus, and Carnotaurus.[1] The film also reveals that its genetic composition includes traces of Velociraptor, tree frogs and cuttlefish, which resulted in various innate abilities from said animals - the raptors' intelligence, the amphibians' thermal adaptability, and the cuttlefish's camouflage.[2] The Indominus rex has killed her sibling and has been hunting other dinosaurs for sport. It also has the ability to communicate with and control Velociraptors to some extent due to the fact that it shares their DNA. The Indominus rex is known to be larger than a Tyrannosaurus rex, designed to be up to 50 feet long when fully grown. At the end of Jurassic World, the Indominus rex was killed by the combined might of the Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, and Mosasaurus.
Corythosaurus Red XN Green tickY * Green tickY Red XN Red XN Red XN Corythosaurus, misnamed Carinthasaurus, is seen in Roland Tembo's field guide packet. Corythosaurus is seen in Jurassic Park III as a herd along with Parasaurolophus when the characters are running through the pasture.
Ceratosaurus Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Red XN Red XN A Ceratosaurus approaches Alan and the Kirby family while they are digging for the satellite phone in the Spinosaurus dung, but the animal does not like the smell of the dung.
Mamenchisaurus Red XN Green tickY Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN A Mamenchisaurus was seen in a herd in The Lost World where the hunters started hunting.
Procompsognathus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Green tickY Plays the same role in the novels that Compsognathus does in the films, they are revealed to be mildly venomous and kill John Hammond at the end of the first novel. They have a diminished role in the second novel.
Camarasaurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN A sauropod that replaces Apatosaurus in some editions of the first novel.
Maiasaura Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Green tickY When Alan Grant and the children are taking a nap, they discover a Maiasaura feeding near them and accidentally frighten it away.
Dryosaurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Green tickY In Jurassic Park, Dryosaurus is one of the first dinosaurs seen on the tour after the Procompsognathus, the Velociraptor, and the Apatosaurus. A chapter in the first novel–"The Park"–identifies the hypsilophodonts' genus as Dryosaurs.
Cearadactylus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN In the first novel, the only major pterosaurs in the aviary were Cearadactylus. They dive-bomb Dr. Grant and the children when they enter the aviary.
Carnotaurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY At the beginning of The Lost World a pair of them attack Richard Levine and kill his guide Diego. They are capable of changing skin color like a chameleon. The pair is also seen again later when the characters are at the abandoned gas station.
Othnielia Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN These small dinosaurs are referred to as "Othys", and are found in the trees.
Mussaurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Only seen once, just before Levine and his guide are ambushed by Carnotaurus.
Hadrosaurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN A herd of these stampeded when attacked by the Tyrannosaurus.
Microceratus Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY * Green tickY Red XN Appears in the first book where it is referred to as Microceratops. Microceratus was seen on the Jurassic World brochure.
Callovosaurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Replaces Microceratus in some editions of the first novel.
Coelurus Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Red XN Referred to as "Coelurosaurus".
Ornitholestes Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Green tickY Levine examined a beached "aberrant form". He was not able to make a precise identification, but his best guess is that it was an Ornitholestes. However, due to the fact that chromatophores were discovered in a skin sample of the specimen, it is likely that it was instead a Carnotaurus, unless Crichton's Ornitholestes, too, would have had the fictional camouflage ability.
Metriacanthosaurus Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Metriacanthosaurus is not seen in the movies, but its name can be seen next to a vial in the Cold Storage Room, and on the map of the park. At that time, Yangchuanosaurus was classified as a species of Metriacanthosaurus, so the dinosaur on the vial could refer to Metriacanthosaurus or Yangchuanosaurus. Metriacanthosaurus was seen on the Jurassic World brochure.
Proceratosaurus Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Its name is seen in the second embryo cold storage vial, though never witnessed on the tour.
Segisaurus Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Segisaurus' name was seen briefly on a map of Isla Nublar, but it was never seen.
Herrerasaurus Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Red XN Herrerasaurus is not seen in the Jurassic Park movies, but its name is on a map inside of the Jeep's brochure in Jurassic Park
Suchomimus Red XN Red XN Green tickY * Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Suchomimus is mentioned by Billy while trying to identify the predator which attacked them, which was a Spinosaurus. Suchomimus was seen on the Jurassic World brochure.
Baryonyx Green tickY * Red XN Green tickY * Green tickY * Red XN Red XN Baryonyx is mentioned by Billy while trying to identify the predator which attacked them (a Spinosaurus). It was also seen on the map of Isla Nublar. Baryonyx was seen on the Jurassic World brochure.
Edmontosaurus Red XN Green tickY * Red XN Green tickY * Red XN Red XN A skull thought to belong to Edmontosaurus annectens (previously Anatotitan annectens) can be seen in the Tyrannosaurus rex nest in the second film. Edmontosaurus was seen on the Jurassic World brochure.
