this list we’re taking a look at
real-life scientific discoveries that
played a role in shaping this beloved
film series number 10 the t-rex had a
the franchise’s iconic t-rex demolishes
jeeps lawyers and even the indominus
with the little help considering the
fact that tyrannosaurus rex translates
roughly to tyrant lizard king her
awesome strength feels appropriate the
might of her killer bite has not been
exaggerated t-rex had the largest bite
force of any known creature to ever walk
the earth
estimates of this force have ranged from
eight thousand pounds to a colossal
fifty thousand compare that to our own
bite force of about two hundred pounds
or to a crocodile’s at 3,700 while the
latest computer models suggest a figure
that’s closer to the bottom end of that
estimated range that is still a
staggering and literally bone shattering
bite number nine intelligence varied
drastically between species bones had
been found earlier it wasn’t until the
19th century that humankind really
discovered the existence of dinosaurs
and for a long time afterward the
default assumption was that these
massive creatures were dumb lumbering
Giants we now know that much like in our
modern day animal kingdom there was a
wide range of intelligence on display in
the absence of live specimens to study
researchers look to brain size relative
to body size as a measure of
intelligence they range from miniscule
as in the case of the Stegosaurus to
fairly generous as with t-rex and
Triceratops some scientists even claim
that certain species would have been
intelligent enough to respond to
training okay number eight
Dino poop holds answers I have to see
the dinosaurs dropping in the original
Jurassic Park film Laura Dern’s dr.
Ellie Sattler enthusiastically dives
hands first into a massive mound of
dinosaur droppings in order to diagnose
a sickly triceratops it might be gross
but fecal matter is actually a great
tool to learn about an animal’s health
and lifestyle this applies to both
living creatures and extinct ones you
can bet that modern scientists would
love to get their hands on some fresh
dino droppings but given the
impossibility of that the next best
thing is fossilized poop also known as
copper lights they are rare but when we
do find them they not only help us
understand Dino diets but also to paint
a better picture of local flora and
fauna from the time
number seven Mosasaurus teeth in
Jurassic world the park scientists have
been getting creative with DNA because
regular dinosaurs are apparently not
dangerous and terrifying enough just
look at the mouthful of teeth on the
Mosasaurus surely that’s the result of
genetic tampering right well prehistoric
mosasaurs might not have grown as large
as dr. Henry Wu’s creation in Jurassic
world but they did have a double row of
teeth that protruded from the roof of
their mouths which made it easier to
hold on to struggling prey perfect for
dragging down difficult catches or for
scooping up hapless passers-by number
six
dinosaurs were actually social animals
communicating we often think of
dinosaurs as solitary and aggressive
it’s a misconception that was especially
common before Jurassic Park brought us
raptor packs and Gallimimus herds as in
the movies however many of these
terrible lizards were probably social
creatures just like the animals of today
paleontologists have discovered fossil
evidence of dinosaurs nesting grounds
and parental care there are also
indications that dinosaurs travel
together in herds and flocks this is
true of both herbivores or veggie
sources and carnivores tracks in British
Columbia seem to reveal the movements of
a t-rex pack pure nightmare fuel they do
move in herds number 5 indominus rex not
so far-fetched you strands from their
DNA to adapt it to a tropical climate
but genetics is one of the most exciting
and quickly developing scientific fields
for the time being we are nowhere near
close enough to being able to craft our
own designer species but it could very
well be on the distant horizon and
although the Frankenstein dinos of the
Jurassic world movies may seem
far-fetched they may actually be more
plausible than dinosaur clones if
paleontologists could somehow recover
Dino DNA it would likely be extremely
fragmented so in order to get something
resembling a dinosaur you might need to
get creative splicing together DNA from
different animals many of them would
look quite different but you didn’t ask
for reality us for Morty
I never asked for a monster Monster is a
relative term number for baby dinosaurs
look very different from their adult
counterparts by taking us into an
already functioning family destination
Jurassic world really expanded the
enfranchise universe fully fleshing out
the idea of a dinosaur theme park one of
the film’s most memorable attractions
was its gentle giants petting zoo where
kids could get up close and personal
with various baby dinosaurs however you
might notice that the dinos look rather
different from their adult counterparts
as Daniel Barda PhD student in
paleontology at the American Museum of
Natural History has pointed out
dinosaurs go through substantial
anatomical changes between infancy and
adulthood which we see on full display
in Jurassic world number three the t-rex
was a caring parent probably only a
couple weeks old never left a nasty
tyrant Lizard King might not be the sort
of name that inspires confidence in an
animal’s parenting abilities but leading
hypotheses suggest that Tyrannosaurus
Rex really stepped up when it came to
raising their young as previously stated
the t-rex was an intelligent dinosaur
and that intelligence apparently
translated into solid caregiving with
those short arms and its relatively
small size at birth a juvenile t-rex was
vulnerable after hatching meaning that
as a parent the Tyrannosaurus Rex had to
be incredibly attentive in order for its
offspring to reach maturity
so yeah kidnapping a baby t-rex would in
number two the hunting style of Raptors
velociraptors a pack hunter you see he
uses coordinated attack patterns and he
is out in force today in Jurassic Park
dr. Alan Grant describes Velociraptor
hunting tactics the cooperative
strategies of these clever girls allows
them to outwit even the most well
trained armed to the teeth human foes
but did Raptors really hunt in packs
there is some debate but support comes
from fossil remains of Deinonychus which
inspired the franchise’s depiction of
velociraptors skeletons and teeth from
multiple Deinonychus azat kill sites
have led some paleontologists to
speculate that the Predators work
together to bring down prey much like
modern-day wolves proponents point to
trackways that seem to show Raptors
number one dinosaurs evolved into birds
well maybe dinosaurs have more in common
with present-day birds than they do with
reptiles our understanding of dinosaurs
is constantly evolving
though the term dinosaur means terrible
or great lizard modern researchers have
come to see the similarities between
in fact birds are in a sense living
dinosaurs genetically speaking dinosaurs
actually have a lot in common with
chickens so much so in fact that some
scientists think chickens would be our
best bet at bringing them back slowly
flipping genetic switches until we got
something as dinosaur-like as possible
turns out life really does find a way
surviving in new forms against all the
odds look at the Halfmoon shape phones
in the wrists know how these guys learn
