The Triceratops: Tyrannasaurus Rex
For me, the obvious pick was the Triceratops. Like the Tyrannasaurus Rex, the Triceratops was quite popular in the Jurassic Park films. It was mostly known for its three huge horns and long stretched out neck frill (protecting its neck). Unfortunately, the movies and cartoons depicted the Triceratops poorly because it in fact wasn’t capable of charging at larger predators and withstanding the punishment with its skull. Triceratops skulls have been found with Tyrannosaurus Rex toothmarks clearly, while no injuries created by the Triceratops have ever been found on a T Rex. Additionally while there is fossil confirmation that shows tyrannosaur tooth stamps on Triceratops fossils,‭ ‬no tyrannosaurs have been demonstrated to have been harmed by

    It putted everyone on the island in life threatening danger. When Indominus Rex obtained its own freedom, it naturally freed and killed the other kinds of dinosaurs. To make the situation worst, two brothers stayed out of the “safe zone” and it worried the aunt. However, raptors’ trainer graciously agreed to help the aunt; they saved the Jurassic Park, people on the park, and especially two brothers. The conflict of the movie made the Jurassic Park a lot more compelling.…

    The scene from Jurassic Park that is embedded in my memory is when Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) leaves the children in the park restaurant by themselves as he goes to check on the other adults stranded in the park. At this time, Tim (Joseph Mazzello) and Lex (Ariana Richards) feel they are safe behind locked doors from the wilderness they escaped outside. The scene starts with a tired and bedraggled Tim and Lex filling plates of food for themselves, as they think they are in the only predator-free area of the park. The dual lack of dinosaurs in the immediate vicinity and background music causes the viewers to believe the storyline is about to take a turn for the better. As soon as the viewer feels safe, watching the children eat ravenously, the camera cuts to Lex holding a spoon full of bright green jell-o. She stares off into the distance with a look of pure terror that spreads into the viewers as well. Next the camera cuts to the mural in the restaurant. This mural in this setting instills a positive attitude towards dinosaurs; it…

    Dinosaurs were considered to be cold blooded reptiles until several shocking discoveries and studies have changed the way that the general public has viewed them. Theropod dinosaurs have been selected to be analyzed because they have the strongest evidence pointing to warm blooded tendencies across the class. Carbon and oxygen isotopes in teeth enamel and physical fossilized data can be used to argue for the warm blooded tendencies in the theropods.…

    The giant tortoise. One of the many wonders of many stories is now classified as endangered. Only eight out of fifteen species still exist.

There are now laws against hunting and trapping them. That doesn't stop people from doing it though. So next time you want to eat turtle, just know, a turtle died for that…

    It is this separation from the rest of the world that causes them to question their identity and existence. Zakharieva discusses how the monster in Branagh’s film questions who he is, if he has a soul. While in Jurassic World it is said that the dinosaur is contemplating her own existence and figuring out where she fits in the food chain. Both monster and dinosaur are trying to find their place in society and the world, but react violently. The destruction caused by these creatures turns them evil in the eyes of the audience and other characters. As explained in Zakharieva’s essay, the 1994 monster’s violent acts are cruel and unmotivated; mirroring this is the 2015 film’s comment from Owen Grady that the Indominus Rex is killing for sport. Our fear of the unknown, the unreasoned, the unexplainable is expressed through the reaction to the unprovoked murders in both films. In the novel Shelley explains the monster’s reasoning and thought process behind his killings while the 1994 film, as Zakharieva examines, shows his violence as spontaneous and cruel. Branagh’s and Trevorrow’s films are more frightening because we fear the unexplained, like the reason behind the creatures’…
