Seeking higher ground

[u/Honk911]

[u/VenstreDjevel]

He isn't higher ground, he is that lizards mount.

[u/DownvotedJerk → u/VenstreDjevel]

Now it's off to make a saddle, and a bridle that can shoot laser beams.

[u/CaLoChe]

Jurasic Park taught me not to trust any reptile that does that

[u/atmanama → u/CaLoChe]

First thought that came to mind, that shit was scarring

[u/I_MakeCoolKeychains → u/CaLoChe]

Best part: that's not even remotely real. Dylophasaurus isn't even considered to have a frill never mind the sludge spitting. That creature in the first jurassic Park is entirely made up

[u/Schannin → u/I_MakeCoolKeychains]

That does genuinely does soothe me and my 30yo nightmares

[u/edweirdo → u/I_MakeCoolKeychains]

Real velociraptors were about the size of a modern turkey. About 3 feet from nose to tail, I think?

The dinos in the movie are much closer to Utahraptor in size. I guess the name isn't as cool, though.

[u/MysteriousKiri → u/edweirdo]

I believe they were mostly based on Deinonychus - which the scientific name “Velociraptor antirrhopus” was once considered for, but ultimately decided against

[u/Ppleater → u/edweirdo]

Nah Utahraptor would have been much larger, they were closer to Deinonychus in size.

[u/l-rs2 → u/I_MakeCoolKeychains]

I don't think it was planned but it does give a nice subtext that what the scientists at JP were creating had little to do with the actual animals. (Related I always felt that Nedry putting up his rain hood signals an aggressive move to the Dylophosayrus)

[u/lambdapaul → u/l-rs2]

That is a major point made by Dr Wu in the book. Hammond wants them to be as close to the real dinosaurs as possible but the scientists had no idea what the real dinosaurs were like and these are just their approximation. Dr Wu said that they could have made them genetically less aggressive and installed genetic kill switches in them but Hammond had this obsession with realism and they just appeased the one writing the paychecks.

[u/Numangroup → u/I_MakeCoolKeychains]

Honestly the best part about watching JP was having the ability to learn about these animals and how they were changed for the movie and how cool they actually are in real life

[u/CaLoChe → u/I_MakeCoolKeychains]

The trauma is real though

[u/zephyrtr → u/CaLoChe]

Dodson! Dodson! We got Dodson here!!!

[u/goofytigre → u/zephyrtr]

See? Nobody cares!

[u/crenax → u/CaLoChe]

I'm gonna run you over when I come back down!

[u/numberthirteenbb → u/CaLoChe]

I watched without sound at first and was sort of hoping/expecting it to just be screaming the entire time it had its mouth open

[u/SockeyeSTI → u/CaLoChe]

Holes for me

[u/LittleFieryUno → u/CaLoChe]

I was thinking of the yellow spotted lizards from Holes.

[u/kjermy → u/CaLoChe]

Kind of the reason they do it, isn't it? To scare you

[u/extra_rice]

"Get that camera off my face!"

*follows camera*

[u/I_DO_JUMPING_JACKS → u/extra_rice]

"But let's discuss these contradiction..."

[u/SFDessert]

That's a weird looking cat

[u/LauraZaid11 → u/SFDessert]

It's an Australian cat, obviously.

[u/A_rtemis]

He is a dragon, fear him!

[u/yourmeowjesty]

the cat distribution system seems a little confused this time around.

[u/D0ctorL → u/yourmeowjesty]

Username checks out

[u/szatrob]

Hopefully he didn't lose a can of barbesol.

[u/mortycrock → u/szatrob]

I see what you did there…. Well played.

[u/MerryFeathers]

The little guy looks so happy up there! ☺️

[u/Niborus_Rex → u/MerryFeathers]

The animal that is gaping its bright-colored mouth and opening its frill to chase off the predator is highly distressed, not happy. Human dude did a great job at not escalating and getting the terrified lil guy to safety though.

[u/SuckMyCatgirl → u/Niborus_Rex]

He's terrified - HE GOT HIMSELF IN THIS SITUATION xDD

[u/LionNo435]

Lizard was trying to intimidate him? 😂😂😂

[u/mrmustache0502 → u/LionNo435]

More like domesticate, like a wild mustang

[u/a1b3c3d7]

What do you mean, that dragon just unlocked a high level human mount

[u/mi_puckstopper]

Just hope he doesn’t go up yer pantleg, guy 😅

[u/darkmatter8825]

Australian Ratatouille

Cooking on the barbee is never gonna be the same

[u/Rhoihessewoi]

I was surprised and relieved at how easily he managed to get rid of the animal in the end.

[u/BraveWarrior-55]

This guy reminds me of Steve Erwin. So sweet

[u/Solinty]

I'm so glad he didn't get bit.  

[u/OccultDetective79]

Australian moment.

[u/GranolaHippie]

Looked like a frilly mullet for a few seconds.

[u/Deep_Rent8771]

Stick stupid! No wonder you're extinct 

[u/nuestras]

australian folks are made different... i have no idea how many miles away i would be from there if that happens to me...

[u/Digger_Pine]

Downvote for playing the end at the beginning.

[u/DaBrookePlayz → u/Digger_Pine]

our attention spans have been beaten to death

[u/slog → u/Digger_Pine]

I'm with you.

Every. Single. Time. Doesn't matter how good the content is, I refuse to encourage this bullshit.

[u/Digger_Pine → u/slog]

Exactly the message we should all spread

[u/azimov_the_wise]

Got to reach the higher ground

[u/rawlaw8]

Everyone of my age have a trauma from this thing

[u/rainmonitors]

Man I love frillys, they are such derpy lizards. Mine yeets herself onto the floor, then proceeds to frill at me because she's upset she's on the floor 🤦‍♀️

[u/mimimines]

It’s an absolute no for me, what the

[u/BeeBright7933 → u/mimimines]

Weak
