Before my local pub closed, there was a friendly paleontologist who would pop in from time-to-time.
My favourite thing was to go up to her and say “So in Jurassic Park…”, which always prompted an impromptu lecture about dinosaurs, what Jurassic Park (any of them) got wrong, and whatever else she was thinking about, which was always super interesting.
Last thing I learned about was heated Discord debates among her colleagues about dire wolves.
There are markers on the bones based on fat weight. This wasn’t known originally when creating the “Jurassic Park Bullshit” dinosaurs though.
Wait, people say “Jurassic Park Bullshit” dinosaurs?!
Even if they’re inaccurate, they’re my homies.
Also I’m referring to the 1990s Jurassic Park. I haven’t kept up with modern versions.

Having kept up with the new ones myself, I can only recommend you don’t.
God they’re bad.
But I loved the super-military dino they had trained that would attack someone if you pointed a rifles laser at them.
Like - you’re already pointing a gun at them.
Yeah, a gun with dinosaurs for bullets.
We know what you mean, new ones are Jurassic WORLD.
they can base muscle attachement based on the bone marks, and scars, they can extrapolate weight from there.
Are there new illustrations out there based on this? I wanna see the chub dinos!
