I heard people complaining how in a JW Tv spot, the Stegosaur's tail was dragging. Do you think it is? http://www.jurassicworlduniverse.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/tvspot8.jpg

It shouldn't be that low, that's for sure.

 

I guess mark up another inaccuracy for Jurassic World, then. What are we at now, 20?

It's low, yes, but is it dragging?

In a recent study, they found that Stegosaurus tails were very flexible, and so that pose is definitely possible. However, it is still not dragging. It even appears to be standing up or rearing a little. People simply complain too much.

Very flexible horizontally, not so much vertically. The pose is taking it a bit too extreme.

 

If anything, it should be a convex curve than a concave.

I watched the trailer again, and no, it is not dragging its just low.

Take another look at the caudal vertebrae, then come back to me. If they all curved downwards, then it could most surely achieve this pose.

Just did what you said, and:

 

I'll rephrase my statement and just chalk it up as a maybe. It's more-so the almost vertical position of the base of the tail in the video that's making me speculate. Perhaps it's the camera angle.

Ah. I see where your concerned. To me it appears to be swinging it a little bit. So it probably is the camera angle.

What I'm concerned about is why they're using the TLW Parasaurolophus skin.

 

Parasaurolophus

This is the JW Parasaurolophus.

@Sci-If King25 If you didn't know already some of the dinosaur pictures shown on the Jurassic World website are not the actual CGI renders that are going to be used in the film. You can tell just by looking at them that they are just drawings and not CGI renders like the T.Rex or pteranodon for example.

It could be a placeholder. Owens' Raptor sqaud had place holder textures when they were being animated, anyways. We learned that from the leaked trailer months back.

The stegos will not differ much from TLW stegos, and they certainly were not draggers.
