Nathan Smith, associate curator in the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, talks about every dinosaur that appears in the Jurassic Park films. How realistically were the dinosaurs in the films portrayed? Is the T-Rex actually the king of the dinosaurs? Is the real life Dilophosaurus actually SCARIER than its film counterpart? Nathan uses his dino-expertise to highlight the similarities and differences between what we know now, and how the movies depicted them.

But the thing is though. Those changes WERE in canon intentional. It was supposed to make em more marketable to the public so that more peeps went to the park. That and their genome was incomplete, they had to fill it in something.

Also he recognizes the massive impact these films have had on advancing the science and our understanding of these animals. The obsession with dinosaurs that these movies helped fuel has led to an entire new generation of scientists who grew up with the original and untold millions in grant money over the years.

the films were released around the ‘dinosaur revolution’ when scientific interest in them started to rise again, this meant there was lots of new and likely, but not confirmed, facts about them, like feathers so the lack of feathers is quite smart as it would have made it even more inaccurate today if they weren’t feathered

I hope you can still reconnect with your passion in some way, even if not as a paleontologist. Volunteering might be a great. Museums, reptile sanctuaries, etc. There are even people with KZfaq channels where they play with dino toys and have huge followings! So there is always a way if we think outside the box. I know it's hard to make time for those things and everyone's situation is different. My son has been in love with dinosaurs since 3 yrs old. I always think about how most of us don't get to follow our early dream careers. I hope that even if my son grows up and does other things for a living, he can find fulfilling ways to stay connected to what inspires him. Here's to your love of dinos!

The Pterosaurs evolved to have flight with thin bat like wings. The development of feathers in the theropod dinosaurs happened slowly and is believed to initially to have been for warmth/protection. Flight is believed to have developed almost as a by-product of having feathers in the small, tree climbing therapods, that took first to gliding. I guess the Pterosaurs didn't have the morphology to develop feathers so maybe the avian dinosaurs began to out compete them.
