for daily jp stuff and updates

no problem guys. We all deserve to know te updates. Glad the information excited everyone. I just hope its legit. 

Personally i loved both ideas of the trailers. But the HEARTBEAT omg. Brilliant. With out sound and just the heart beat untill pratt talks at the end would please everyone! 

^ Take me with you!

I already watched + recorded it, but now I can watch it here on my computer! :)

This was pretty interesting! I'm not too big on evolution, but a seal-ichthyosaur is pretty cool!

(I need one as a pet.)

Nice fight Mr. H! Wasn't rooting for either.

This is better than the first!

looking forward to next one! :)

good fight rooting for salta expected tarb to win

Once again, thanks for your words of knowledge Carno ;) And Rex Fan, i will once again say stop it with your unattached assumptions, as a matter of fact, what they are now are merely just your hopes and dreams because there is clearly nothing to back your statements up.

Carnosaur,

You need to revise a bit your list. Maganuco has actually estimated the new, adult Spinosaurus at 6-7 tonnes. So Spinosaurus is no longer the very biggest but clearly still one of the biggest.

I dont think Celeste has been scientifically estimated in size.

Polar bears are certainly not aquatic creatures.

Yes, they show aquatic adaptations for venturing out to find food, but they don't spend a majority of their time in the water. Their paws and overall build are not suited for a aquatic predatory lifestyle. You don't see them chasing seals, sea lions, even the belugas they are known to prey on through the water. So,no,this bear isn't an aquatic creature.

"Aquatic" is baseless. Semi aquatic is the best thing we can call S. aegyptiacus, at least until a further description is released

One could make the argument that they are semi aquatic by nature, but this, again, isn't a factor in their overall lifestyle.

Using this logic,Spinosaurus can't be called a strictly aquatic creature.Firstly, the descriptive paper isn't out yet so there's absolutely no room to make an assumption based on this. The only thing we do know so far, is that its legs are packed with dense bone. We see this with ducks, and this helps keep them bouyant(or however you spell it) but are they aquatic creatures? nope.

In fact, isotopic levels taken from spinosaurus bones show that it was one of the more terrestrial spinosaurs.

he semi-aquatic hypothesis is supported by isotope analysis of the teeth and a diet that included fish and land animals. Its secondary palate allowed it to eat and breathe at the same time.

Sounds awesome. I'm really looking forward to this.

Happy to see this post was so well recieved :D

Yes it would be able to rear up, but if it wanted to rear up high enough for it's arms to be of any use, it would've had to have taken a pose similar to the one in the picture I showed you, which would be anatomically impossible.

Both methods are similarly deadly, however, the crushing technique would do far worse fdamage to the skeleton, whilst the more balanced semi-cut/semi-slash method would have a weaker effect on the bones, but a stronger effect on the musculature and fat.

Oops, double post.

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! 

I do know that there was a small theropod named Masiakasaurus that lived in Madagascar during the same time as Vintana Sertichi, and Masiakasaurus might have been aquatic too. I also just found another possibly large mammal, it lived about 115 mya in Angola, theough they have only found tracks of it though. But judging by the tracks it was about the size of a raccoon.

Ok again. The torvo would only rear up for a short while. It would be like a human getting on all fours. We aren't designed for it since are back limbs are far larger and stronger then are front limbs, but we can get into a quadrupedal stance. It will feel uncomfortable and lok awkward but we can still do it. another example could be dogs. They are quadrupedbutane have a heavier chest then their abdomens. But they can stand on their hind legs for a while and actually swat with their front paws. Dinosaurs(well theropods) could do this since they had heavy chests. Just like dogs.

and about getting hit with a hammer being blind bit by a tarbosaur is true and getting bit by a torvo would be like getting whacked by a stick lined with rows of fairly thick knives. Which is just as deadly. And bone damaging.

^I was never under the impression that Pratt played an antagonist, but the idea that he might is interesting.

I think it's safe to assume Jurassic World is Jurassic Park 4. I don't see how the basic concept is so far removed from Jurassic Park that it would suggest an alternate progression from the titles with "Park" in the title. In fact the brilliance behind Jurassic World's title is that it's a basic combination of the first two (and best) films' titles: Jurassic Park and The Lost World.

And of course sequels depend on how well this one does. If Jurassic World flops hard, Universal will probably put the franchise to bed for awhile. If it's moderately successful I can see Universal still making a sequel, but pumping the breaks on how to go about it. If it's a massive hit Universal will churn out the next one like clockwork.

It's not about hurting it, it's simply that it wouldn't be able to do that from an anatomical stand point. It would have to take this position:

Their teeth are similarly long (the teeth of Torvo were indeed longer, but that was a difference of half an inch at the most)

Because Tarbo had such crushing teeth and such a high bite force it didn't need the ability to cut since it's crushing teeth and raw force behind them was enough to kill anything under 30 tons in it's environment. It's like getting smacked with a hammer. If somebody were to smack you with a hammer, it wouldn't matter how good that hammer is at cutting, the pure force behind it would be enough to smash bones regardless of the amont of muscle in between.

P.S. Did you write this on your phone? because otherwise everybody here wouldn't have a problem with showing you how to do that.

Finally read it, good fight Carnosaur!!!

Good god, I seriously hope the veliciraptors end up being some cheesy plot device.

LORD OF THE SPINOSAURS - How very neat! I'm extremly curious as to how this animal - being relatively sizeable for a mammal in its time - managed to compete against its larger saurian neighbors. Hmm, the implications are quite compelling! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! :)

LORD OF THE SPINOSAURS - Now that is a very interesting hypothesis! Indeed, this animal very well could have been a remnant from more ancient times! :)

That sounds SO exciting! I like the Darker Horror Movie like Undertone that's suspected with this Installment.

I also like, That Chris Pratt isn't the Antagonist (By the tone of the trailer) Or at maybe just a really bad Protagonist? He sounds kinda like a New Muldoon...  

Sounds...

Interesting...

I'll watch... I mean, Shark Nado Started like this so... 

Colin Promised/Confirmed Sequels some time in production a while back...

Even if he didn't, The script is Supposedly set up for Sequels. 

No idea what the next ones are called though, To early to fully tell...

But by the sounds of things... Yes, We are going to get sequels. 

This is interesting, I know for a while it has been a mystery of what the terrestrial ancesters of Ichthyosaurs looked like, though this is something big. Im very surprised that it had a short snout unlike other Ichythosaurs. Although the article said that this might mean it was suction-feeder, I personally think it's an evolutionary leftover from the ichthyosaur ancestor that was fully terrestrial.

I'll ge this transcribed into a news article, thanks for the heads up! Do you happen to have the link from JPLegacy for sourcing purposes?

FRAZ BAG - Should Jurassic World prove to be good, I'd relish a sequel or two! :)

in other words, anky would have pwnd spino anyway

the lump of bone at the end of its tail worked like a sledgehammer and weighed over 60 pounds. it would take one hit to destroy the leg of a tyrannosaurus, and if a predator tried to flip it over, it would only drive its head into ankylosaurus' spikes. one nudge would have the predator's face mauled, not to mention the maximum width of ankylosaurus was 8 meters (or feet) and the height could have been 11.5 feet with all those spikes, the length of ankylosaurus was also disputed though it has mostly been accepted that it ranged from 33-36 feet, with larger, stronger old male bulls placed at a maximum of 40 feet

JHAWKINS1987 - Very compelling! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! :)

That actually sounds pretty cool!

ALX - Hahaha! From where do these bloody films even come?! Despite my incredulity, that film will likely be worth a go just for the gore and laughs! Thank you for sharing this with us! :)

REX FAN 684 - I happen to think there is a great deal of validity to your hypothesis! If Spinosaurus led a lifestyle similar to that of a crocodile, I'd certainly classify it as a marine animal. I've stated this once or twice before, but I happen to view Spinosaurus as something like the prehistoric equivalent of a duckbilled platypus - a chimera that was perfectly adapted to its unorthodox method of survival. Not only that, but I'm willing to wager that it was a terror to anything in or near the water! A 50+ foot long water beast with a loadout of natural weaponry that could both skewer and rend its prey in a multitude of gruesome fashions is nothing to sneeze at!

    This was a very interesting and insightful topic - it definately got me thinking! Thank you very much for sharing this with us! :)
