Jurassic Park dinosaur make-over




In Jurassic Park III, most of the dinosaurs that have been seen throughout the movie have made appearances in the previous movies such as the Brachiosaurus and the king of Jurassic Park, Tyrannosaurus Rex.

People had noticed the significant differences between the species of dinosaurs in the previous movies and this one. 


Brachiosaurus

Parasaurolophus

2 dinosaurs for example, the Brachiosaurus and the Parasaurolophus, have significantly different colors between movies. In the last movie, the parsaurolophus would have a bright white underbelly and brown over the body with dark brown stripes. The brachiosaurus would have a brown based body with a slightly lighter opacity on the underbelly, however in jurassic park 3, they hae a light green based body with slightly darker green stripes running down it with a red crest on their head.

A possibility for this theory is that with each generation of each species proceeds, each generation changes pigmentation and other features. the Parasaurolophus has green pigmentation to better blend with the surroundings. Another possibility would be that it does not affect the species as a whole as the movie shows them being in a different part of the same island with The Lost World. Meaning it might depend on the surroundings of the creature to adapt throughout their generations. With such speed of change, assuming this is the case, would possibly be a side effect from genetically modifying and cloning them.

Here is how the Parasaurolophus and Brachiosaurus would look like form the other movies.

This also applies greatly to the Velociraptors from the 3 movies. This is also the first time in the trilogy that there is a physical difference between female and male raptors.

Plot

Promotional movie poster for Jurassic park III(2001)

Paleontologist Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill) agrees to guide an extremely rich couple, Paul Kirby (William H. Macy) and his wife Amanda (Téa Leoni), on a plane tour over Isla Sorna, the sister island to Isla Nublar and home of the second InGen dinosaur research lab. When they get there, however, they make an unexpected landing against Alan's better judgement and the Kirbys reveal that they are actually searching for their 12-year old son Erik (Trevor Morgan), who went missing eight weeks ago while parasailing with his mom's boyfriend Ben Hildebrand (Mark Harelik). A second landing results in the plane crashing and Alan's worst fears coming true. The velociraptors are shown to be a communicating species, smarter even than dolphins and primates. Add to that a new hunter, the Spinosaurus aegypticus, more vicious than even theTyrannosaurus rex, and the leisurely plane trip over the island becomes a fight for their lives.
