Yet another crazy theory by Smaug!

Interesting theory. It was probably just Horner bullshiting the franchise though. The feathers I didn't mind, but the behavior was bull.

i bet that you are 90% rigth

I bet that is probably what happened

Yes, it makes sense. In a way, the raptors are not dinosaurs, due to the frog DNA. They are just dinosaur-like.

Seems legit.

with that behavior
I wouldn't be surprised if they used killer whale/human/ape DNA for JP3 raptors

I have no clue when it comes to genetics, but why would the V-Raptor DNA replace the frog DNA. From where would they get that missing V-Raptor DNA, since they aren't actually V-Raptors? Keep in mind that I know jack about genetics.

UCMP 118742 - Basically what I'm saying is the immune system of the raptors would be rejecting the frog dna, removing more and more every generation.

SMAUG THE MAGNIFICENT - Hmm, that is a very interesting hypothesis. I can certainly see that being a plasuible scenario. Excellent detective work! Thank you for sharing this with! :)

smagu the inmune system cant reject gens

a beteer explenation is that with each generation the breeding with other raptors made the following generation more pure and the followind and the following and so on

@Something Real

Genetics cannot be supressed by the immune system, however...

unfavorable genes(ones that will not benefit the species survival) will be supressed over generations. Strong genetic traits, let's say the Raptors natural genetic code, will become more and more prevalent as they are passed along. Perhaps Raptor DNA supressed the Amphibian genetic code over time on Nublar? perhaps, and it's certainly a neat idea.
