mr happy lets talk over youtube cause my ipod is slow on scified

i prefer robotics to cgi only a small bit because cgi is becoming flawless yet with robotics i can actually see that its there and not added in, in the jps it was very hard to tell especially the third but i could still tell a few if jp4 can astound me with new cgi technology and animatronics i may change my oppinion

i have the anwser to why dilo spits and has the frill (you guys need to play the game it tells you a lot about why some are defromed) the dilos were new releases to the park there juveniles in the film, dilo doesn't actually have the frills or venom but do to a genetic mutation they developed the ability to spit and have a frill pretty interesting stuff id imagine they'd still grow to there full size and still be able to spit and such

I've already said this once and im too lazy to remember it so im going to copy and paste it from my thread of a real jurassic park "Have you ever finished one of the jurassic park movies and ever thought "wow what if jurassic park was real" well it could be. now that does sound far fetched but when Michael Crichton wrote the first jp he wasn't far off. but first let me tell you why using the amber technique wouldn't work when blood is held for a long time it begins to decompose and is no longer useable but by using a different technique you can get still get some DNA let me list the ways: 1 by grinding the bones you can get some DNA (not a lot) 2 if a dinosaurs fossil was well preserved some nutrients/DNA from the dinosaur will be preserved 3 if a dinosaur was frozen in ice or stuckin a bog it'll probably be well preserved enough to get DNA. now you cant use a frog (well you could you'd just get a man eating frog/tyrannosaur that hops around and eats flys) so another thing you can use is a chicken by filling in the gaps with chicken DNA and then inserting it into a chicken embryo you'd get a basic theropod ( walks on 2 legs) chicken/Dino hybrid now you have to keep breeding the results and you'll most likely end up with a carnivorous dinosaur. now to get a basic sauropod (walks on 4 legs) its a lot more complicated and takes more DNA manipulating you'd have to use a different animal you could still use chicken you just have to genetically alter it to walk on four legs and repeat breeding now the million doller question is should we? well thats for you to choose not me. just consider what ingen went threw it would be highly expensive to stable and feed these. but how cool would it be to have a pet parasaurlophus or raptor in your backyard?" well thats from my one post hope it helped

I don't know how to add photos from my camera to this site, so I may just end up making a YouTube video (also Mrhappy9097, YouTube was first, I forgot the h was lower-case when making my live name, and the capital stuck). I don't post very often, I have one video, and it is of my pellet gun.

oyy, another thing to argue about, ps3 and xbox, jk lol

guys play the game it answers a lot about the island the dilos in the movie were juveniles new additions to the park when full grown there about the size of a rex give or take they'd also still spit thanks to a genetic mutation of henry wu, id imagine on site b they have them too but we havent we seen them????

i couldnt agree more, i like this more than facebook and twitter

I know, that's why I sighted up to, this site is great!

I saw it in IMAX 3D. The graphics were amazing! I chose MrHappy9097 to my name just because it is easy to remember (my Xbox live gamertag)

ive been checking mine every chance i get. I like to get every update on jp4 as i can get, and ive never seen so much info on it till i found this site, and the cool thing is that you can post about things you would want to see in it and what you wouldnt want to see.

i dont know why but ive always kinda chuckled when the trex was in that neighborhood when it moved its hand in a way as if it were saying hi, i dont know why but i just do, and also my ps3 wallpaper is the jurassic park 3d wallpaper, i saw it in 3d 3 weeks ago and it was like experiencing it to a whole new level, i heard sound i never heard... i didnt get to see it in theaters the first time cause the first movie is 4 years older than me

I noticed that, I checked to see your posts and it said when you joined. I joined when team Rex had 222 people, and team Spino had 80 people. I check the discussions that I'm in before school, after school, and hourly (when my brother is playing gta or something else and we take turns, more frequently).

Carnotaurus is pretty cool. Another thing that really strengthened my love of T-Rex was JP TLW, when the Rex pushed the bus thing of the cliff, when it walked through the backyard brick wall, and the city rampage with the bus. TLW was the first JP I saw (the lost world sounding like something that would be the first in dinosaur movies). I love the whole Jurassic Park series (my background picture is the Jurassic Park logo, as is my COD emblem (black ops 2)

ceratosaurus would probably go into 6th or 7th in my favs

it was actually just to follow someone at that point, i made my profile 2 days ago

Yes. Looked up who you were following (*in sarcastic voice* I wonder why you chose to follow Star Killer). Couldn't figure out how to follow people, so I went to who your following, then I tapped one of the names (I'm using an iPad) then tapped who he's following, and it gave me the option to follow you. Carnotaurus was pretty cool, it's arms were smaller than T-Rex's in comparison to it's body size, and it was related to Ceratosaurus (which I personally think is a little cooler). Had to mention Carno just cause that's the point of this discussion.

oh its alright

I was still writing my first one when you posted the second one. The smiley face (don't know how it got there) was meant to be 8.

before i found out bout spino, my favorite was carnotaurus

thanks for the encouragement and hope you find whats good for you too, ive been looking at some other conversations and, you say your from canada?

Ok. I first found out about it in a book when I was 4 (just started school, picked out first dinosaur book I saw). You are right, I would have lots to say about (before JP3 favourite dinosaur, T-Rex, Velociraptor, etc. After JP3 favourite dinosaur, Spinosaurus because it killed a T-Rex in a movie, so it must have been better). After the initial shock of watching the fight (roughly a month, when I was 8) I looked up some information (found out about research on the Internet, before, I thought it was just games and whatever teachers made you do), and discovered Spinosaurus was really cool, and added it to my knowledge of dinosaurs.

jk, i did find out bout it when jp3 came out, but i have studied bout it ever since and more and more has been revealed bout it over the last 12 years

I always wanted to be a palaeontologist (still do). Good luck, hope it turns out good for you. Carno might be in JP4, there has been discussions about foreshadowing. Go to where it says recent discussions, press view more, and the look for the one that says something like "How would you use foreshadowing?" (His pic is an animated one of the T-Rex roaring in the first movie). I think it might help.

in 1996, i bet if i said i found out bout it in jp3 yo would have lots to say, but i found out bout it in 1996 when i was 5

Just out curiosity, when did you find out about Spino? I found out about dinosaurs when I was around three (first time playing super Mario and my dad tells me Bowser is a dinosaur). T-Rex has always been my favourite (what doesn't scream awesome to a three year old like a 7 ton, bipedal predator that would be capable of crushing cars?). I grew up with T-Rex being the most badass creature ever, and old habits die slow. Spino is really cool though, it has those big arms (for such a large predator), it had a sail, it likely could swim (nostrils on top of head helps with theory that is fished at least a little bit) and it was extremely agile for such a large size (possibly to compensate for being lightly built, possibly).

i know and ive studied bout spino since i found out about it

it does mean that, ive been studying bout dinosaurs literally since i was 1 or 2 and when i watched jurassic park for the first time years ago, it just got me even more facinated in them and now i know the majority of the names of all the dinosaurs, and ive wanted the same occupation my entire life, paleontology. Only have 3 years till im in college

I think Dilophosaurus means "two crested lizard" (somewhere along those lines) I didn't say I didn't like the poison spitting, I just don't really care for it.

I've seen other discussions where other people are more biased than you. Everyone has opinions. Find something positive about T-Rex (I say positive stuff about Spino, and it's not because I'm just being nice, I genuinely like Spino, I just like T-Rex more). You do have some valid opinions, just back them up (it helps strengthen your argument).

but it would make more sense to name it for its spitting abilities, even though i dont really like it either

it was actually named after the two crests on its head

you trex fans feed off of outdated info, seriousley

That is a pretty good idea. I don't like the whole chameleon carnotauras concept either (run out of frog DNA and used chameleon DNA instead?). Maybe if Dilo didn't spit poison (don't really care about that, probably what Dilo is famous for though).

I didn't say Spino ate only fish and small dinosaurs, I'm just saying that it probably ate those at times (possibly low food resources). Spino was likely also lighter than it appears, I have read some that say it only weighed 4 tons, while others say as much as 20 tons (I personally think it was somewhere in the 6-10 ton range). I do agree that it was kind of sad when the first skeleton found was bombed. For all we know, yes, there could be larger ones (maybe not likely, but certainly possible). It didn't have to be super strong to defend itself (but it was for sure strong). Spino was more lightly built than T-Rex. T-Rex had denser bones than Spino, and it had a stronger bite force than Spino. Spino had a relatively skinny neck in comparison to T-Rex's, and it's teeth were designed to bite and hold on to things (like possibly a fish), while T-Rex's teeth were designed to crush and rip through bone. Spino was very cool and unique, it just likely wasn't as strong (I honestly don't know, scientists just say that little marks on bone indicate where muscle was attached, and T-Rex had it everywhere. Look it up, but if you find a T-Rex vs Spino forum, ignore them, they are complete BS. Some say Spino's arms were so powerful, it could rip T-Rex's head off before it could get anywhere near it, while some say T-Rex was so powerful, it could just bite Spino in half).

Carnotaurus is NOT lame, allosaurus is soo freakin boring

i wonder why they never out any of the really interesting dinosaurs on walking with dinosaurs, like spinosaurus, carnotaurus, and dilophosaurus

well considering cgi has gotten WAYYY better since the 3rd one it think they should have more cgi

you dont know if its stronger or not, nobody does, but its preety much common sense that spinosaurus would be cause it had to carry that weight and also had to be even more srong to defend itself. And also read my other posts, there is absolutely no way something that big could only eat fish and small dinosaurs, and we dont really know which one is smarter, we had enough remains to show its the largest of all carnivorous dinosaurs aand they werent well preserved, and they were destroyed after that and that was the first one found, so it is extremely very likely that there were bigger ones.

I'm not trying to make Spino sound weak. I'm just saying that wasn't as strong as T-Rex. Spino probably did have bones that were dense enough to withstand some force, but not as dense as T-Rex's bones. Spino most likely did have sufficient strength to defend itself (it lived in the same time and area as Charcharadontosaurus). I think Spino ate some fish and small dinosaurs as well as carrion. Don't forget that Spino's diet is more based on discoveries of fish scales found in Baryonyx fossils. And same with it's arm size. T-Rex was more likely to be smarter due to the millions of years of evolution. Spino's sail would be a disadvantage in a fight if the foe wasn't intimidated. Spino likely also killed and ate hadrosaurs like Ourannosaurus.
