Billy dies soon after the end of the film
He's seen drinking directly from a stream while telling the Kirbys that Grant was probably headed for the coast. Anyone with even relatively little survival skills knows that this is the best way to kill yourself in the wild, and he almost definitely got sick on the way home or upon arrival. The massive amount of injuries he sustained almost certainly didn't help his condition.- A person may get sick from drinking stream water, but in a survival situation, it is far better than nothing. Depending on the location, it is not uncommon for casual hikers to drink from stream water.
Nash's Satellite Phone was Made of Indestructium and had nuclear batteries
Keep in mind: The Spinosaurus ate Nash, he chewed him, then he digested him. When they found the phone in a pile of poo, keep in mind that Nash bones weren't seen: A phone, which is supposedly made of plastic, and a few pieces of metal and silicium, endures the bites, the acids and antacids better than BONES. Also, I don't know yours, but my cell phone battery doesn't last for a lot of time, mostly if it's receiving calls, and has a loud ringtone. The only explanation is, effectively, that it's really Made of Indestructium.- Perhaps it's a Nokia?
- Or perhaps compys dragged off any bits of bone that were protruding from the dung, because they're scavengers as well as mob hunters. They'd have no cause to take an interest in a phone.
The Pteranodons were made with bird DNA.
It's been a long time since I've seen the JP franchise, but IIRC, InGen used amphibian and reptile DNA as part of their dino reconstructions. Now obviously, they couldn't rely on reptiles and amphibians alone with the pterosaurs; after all, frogs and lizards can't fly.Their solution? Simple, use the DNA of birds and mix those in with the pterosaur, amphibian and reptile DNA. Essentially, they had invoked All Flyers Are Birds.
- While lizards and frogs can't fly, pterosaurs certainly could. Why did they need to introduce the DNA of other flying creatures to get the Pteranodon off the ground? Birds, bats and pterosaurs are the three flying vertebrates.
- That's something I never considered. Perhaps instead, the bird DNA was added as a supplement or to make the pterosaurs live up to the expectations of park goers. Either way, bird DNA would be the perfect explanation for their decidedly birdlike behavior.
- Bird DNA could have just as easily been the filler DNA used in pteranodon production instead of frog DNA.
- Why would bird DNA be necessary to make flying pterosaurs? Because frogs don't fly? Frogs don't run on two legs, eat plants, or lay eggs with shells either, yet Ingen came up with perfectly serviceable bipedal and/or herbivorous dinosaurs that hatched from shelled eggs with frog DNA "filler".
- Perhaps for whatever reasons these pterosaurs, unlike the dinosaurs InGen cooked up, had their DNA filled out by their closest living relatives — birds (the other surviving archosaur group is the crocodilians, and those are even more distantly related).
- All birds are dinosaurs. They could fox the DNA with frogs like any of the other dinosaurs and it would still behave like a bird necause that is how the Pterosaurs always behaved.
The raptors are going to start their own civilization at this rate.
And it will be glorious. The T. rex that fights the spinosaurus was the injured baby from The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
That would explain why it could so easily be killed by the river-dwelling, mostly fish-eating, spinosaur, an otherwise generally much weaker species. The Spinosaurus is one of InGen's early bioweapon projects.
There's a throwaway line early on with Allan and Billy pointing out that the Spinosaurus isn't on InGen's list of cloned dinosaurs with the two of them wondering what the company was up to. In fact, the Spinosaurus was one of InGen's first attempts at producing a weaponized dinosaur hybrid, which explains many of the traits, like its persistent pursuit of the human protagonists (despite them being less than optimal prey), its exaggerated predatory nature (bigger and meaner than a T.rex), traits that it shares with the antagonist of Jurassic World, and why it wasn't on the original list of dinosaurs that InGen supplied. This was probably meant to be foreshadowing that would have lead into the fourth film before it got trapped in Development Hell for a decade. The Spinosaurus is basically the conceptual prototype for the I. rex.- Confirmed. Wu himself considered it as accident. The accident was because the spinosaurus turned out to be too stupid to be a weapon. This creature's aggression, compulsive need to kill everything in sight, destruction of anything in its way and supernatural power have all being created to be a bioweapon. No actual Jurassic Park dinosaur would have these features.
The Spinosaurus is a early experiment for Jurassic Park
Think about it all of the dinosaurs from the first three films can from from the DNA found inside of a fossilized mosquito trapped in amber. This means that the scientists doing all of the genetic work would not know the exact type of animal they're cloning until one has already been cloned, giving the scientists something to compare it to. Naturally the Spinosaurus ended up being a failure and did not end up in Jurassic Park, which is why it wasn't on the list.- Again, confirmed. Wu himself considered it a complete failure both as a park attraction and as an attempt at a bioweapon.
The Spinosaurus was the precursor of the I. Rex.
Some genetic experimentation occurred behind Hammond's back. It failed, and the Spinosaurus was released on Sorna and forgotten about. This is why it hates humans and how it beat the T. Rex.- Maybe that was why it didn't crash through a locked door. It was trained not to.
- Confirmed, sort of. It has been revealed on the Jurassic World website that the Spinosaurus was one of Wu's first serious forays into genetic hybridization.
The T. Rex couple from The Lost World: Jurassic Park killed the Spinosaurus.
Some time after the events of the movie, the Spinosaurus attacked the T. Rex couple in an attempt to claim their territory for itself. Unfortunately for it, this T. Rex duo is far, far deadlier than the last one it killed, not to mention that they outnumber it. As a result, the Spinosaurus looses this one rather quickly.- Partly confirmed. The Spinosaurus is confirmed to be dead, but the reason isn't clear. However, there's a chance that the T-Rex couple did it.
- It has been revealed in Camp Cretaceous Season 4 interviews that the Spino from that season is the same individual from 3 and the Spino mounted skeleton was a different Spino due not only the conformation but the morphological differences between the two.
- I do hope that if the T-Rex was the baby that this doesn't mean the Buck and Doe met the same fate.
- Thankfully jossed: the Buck and Doe are seen alive and well at the end of Jurassic World Dominion where they meet Rexy the JP 1 T. rex and form a family unit with her.
Grant had mentioned to Ellie that he was giving the tour over Isla Sorna
It explains fully how she knew where he was and what kind of trouble he was in.- It would be a sensible move on Grant's part, even if he was desperate for money he would still have the common sense to make sure people knew where he was going since something could and does go wrong and he only just met the Kirby's and didn’t know if he could totally trust them.
The Spinosaurus is a hybrid of...
Actual Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Suchomimus. It's been all but confirmed that the Spino is an early hybrid dinosaur like the Indominus. Its base genome was Spinosaurus, but it had a Suchomimus-like head and body stance (being mostly bipedal as opposed to the more quadruple stance Spinosaurus has been theorized to possess in Real Life). It got its body proportions, great strength , and some of its aggression from T. rex. The film takes place in the same universe as Saving Private Ryan
How else could so many people die while trying to save one person?- Unless there is some kind of lengthy backstory that explains otherwise, it can be assumed that the world of Jurassic Park has had World Wars 1 and 2, which went pretty much the same way they did in reality. The events of Saving Private Ryan take place during a version of World War 2 that happened pretty much as it did in the real world, so this theory is at least partially confirmed.
Going off the above of the Spinosaurus being a prototype hybrid...
...the Ceratosaurus was another, which is why it looks more like a horned T. rex than the real animal. It was just a failed hybrid that didn't turn out as impressively, possibly an earlier attempt. How did Erik get the T-Rex urine?
...well, his actor was also in Barney's Great Adventure. You do the math. The dinosaurs are slowly rejecting foreign DNA.
Why do the raptors look so different in this film, with more accurate dromaeosaur features than any other? It may be because they are the second generation of raptors born on the island, and were the offspring of the raptors in The Lost World. Their more accurate features are a result of Velociraptor DNA "overpowering" frog DNA during reproduction. So with each generation, the raptors are becoming more and more like their true selves, and accurately smaller on top of that. This likely extends to the other dinosaurs on the island, as even the herbivores look more colourful than in the previous films, as they may have been in their time. In time, they all would have looked like real dinosaurs. The raptors have a short lifespan.
Adding to the above, the raptors may have been genetically altered to have shorter lifespans, likely under ten years. The raptors seen in Lost World were the first created, prototypes, and likely died by the time of the next film. The ones seen in the III were the youngest, being born from the previous generation. This may also explain why the raptors were much less dangerous in Lost World. They were old. The raptors on Isla Nublar was also created on Isla Nublar, and may have been altered to live even shorter lifespans after the scientists realized how dangerous they were. Nothosaurus was the creature responsible for deaths of Enrique and his crewmate.
Given the popular theory that Enrique and his crewmate were killed by Plesiosaurus, who's to say that in reality they were killed by Nothosaurus? Due to the fact this is a amphibious creature (it can live both underwater and on land), it's much more possible for it to be a killer of Those Two Guys by having it climb on the DinoSoar boat and swiftly kill those two when they were covered by fog. And yes, we don't know when exactly Mantah Corp was founded and when they cloned Nothosaurus, but if they managed to clone one in late 90s/early 2000s and if it managed to escape from Mantah Corp Island into open sea, it could had found its way to the Isla Sorna coast. And before Mantah Corp would managed to recapture and transport it back to their island, the Nothosaurus could had notice some strange speedy object, with two unfortunate souls on it... The T. rex that the Spinosaurus killed was Big Eatie's mate and Little Eatie's father.
Not only did they come from the same island, but the male in the third movie seems to have been slightly younger and smaller than Rexy would have been at the time. That would put him at pretty much exactly the right age to be Little Eatie's father. It would also be thematically appropriate, since the male was killed by a Spinosaurus, but Big Eatie managed to defeat a Spinosaurus (heavily implied to be the same one) with the help of Little Eatie.
