Funny thing about the JP dilo is that early concept art showed that they assumed it had keratin that made up the crest. So they were actually ahead of their time intially! Another fact is that the dilophosaurs was given the frill and small size so it stand out as the filmmakers thought normal audiences would confuse it with the raptors.

I think the reason the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus was given the frill and venom was to show the risks of bringing back an extinct animal you don't know the soft tissue of and how it can backfire. So in a way, it could be the first time speculative soft tissue was in a dinosaur film, even if it was inaccurate.

Very happy you mentioned Dilophosaurus was discovered on Diné (Navajo) land. We don’t get acknowledged much so it’s quite nice to see :)

Thank you for explaining the difference between dilophosaurus from jurassic park franchise and the accurate one. And yes in the novel, dilophosaurus are bigger have no frills but still spit poison.

I remember hearing about Dilophosaurus having a stronger bite force than scientists originally thought, and I love how your art explained the current research on that topic. Truly a beautiful, yet deadly addition to the early Jurassic Period. As for the "Jurassic Park" version, I would say the novel counterpart was even more frightening considering how much gorier Nedry's death was. Still doesn't take away how the smaller, neck-frilled Dilo terrified me as a kid.

My favorite dinosaur

this guy is seriously underrated, his amazing narrating and art is unrecognized

I personally think that the way the JP dilophosaurus venom is spit towards his prey closely resembles the way some sea birds chicks regurgitate acidic viscous stomach content to defend themselves against their predators. So to me it would make more sense that the DNA use comes from these species of birds rather than cobra’s species that spits venom from their fangs. Also, love the video. Thank you for your amazing work.

This video is absolutely fantastic. I think your depictions of the animal with and without feathers both have very strong presences and leave me torn since they’re both so good! The sound design and scripts are great as always, I have to respect your acknowledgement of the Jurassic Park Book!

You know, it’s interesting, but the Jurassic Park novel dilophosaurus was surprisingly accurate and modern in its depiction, being the correct size, and also having a strong bite force, which is displayed when it finished off Dennis Nedry by crushing his skull between its jaws.

Dilophosaurus has always been my favorite dino, ever since I first saw Jurassic Park as a kid. I was always disappointed that it was downsized like it was but I love it all the same. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this video, seeing my favorite dino animated so beautifully is a rare pleasure!

Pumped for this one. You always have the best designs. I’d love to see Nanuqsaurus in your style.

Your description of its forearm (5:21) and skull anatomy (3:21) does justify why Nedry's death in the book was just as brutal.

This is really cool. I have always liked the accurate Dilopho, but the Jurassic Park one is iconic

It can be as long as needs to make us understand what any animal looks like in reality compared to Hollywood version. You did more than 15 minutes with the other videos like Giganotosaurus, therizinosaurus and mososaurus. Those were great videos even if they were long. So you can keep doing what you always been doing in making these videos no matter how long the video needs to be.

The sound design for the JP Dilo is just incredible

To this day, I feel the movie version is a big disservice from the actual animal in life. Not even the frills or venom alone, but the sheer DOWNsize was insane to me as a kid. Glad you got the dilo video done, always improving on what you do best. Can’t wait for more my guy, keep on rolling! #dilophosaurus

Honestly I love both scientifically accurate Dilophosaurus and Jurassic World’s Dilophosaurus. No matter how inaccurate it may be, it shall always be a favourite amongst many people out there.

I love your animations and commentary!

5:18 OH MY GOD IT'S THE NOVEL DILOPHOSAURUS

Fun fact : there is a Dilophosauridea Species (which is most likely non-existent) know as Eubrontes which were just Dilophosaurus foot prints found in Connecticut. (or maybe in other states)

Thanks for such an amazing video! It's such a shame that many dinosaurs have a completely misleading image for the general public just because of deliberately innacurate Jurassic Park depictions, let's hope that your videos help to change that, good job and keep up the amazing work!

I honestly didn't expect to learn not just about dilophosaurus but the early jurassic along with the early evolution of the iconic dinosaurs

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!! The information presented is just great and not something obvious, just like so many other youtubers do, I will not only use this video and its information for my "Dinosaurs without Bias" series, but also I'll use it as a sort of guidance for my #Dilophosaurus design for the "Prehistoria" documentary I wanna make

One fun thing I found out about the dilo’s genetic make up was through the Jurassic world ride queue line (since they had tv screens featuring a reporter speaking with Claire, Owen and dr wu) and one of the little snippets was dr wu explaining how the dilophosaurus had venom (which he said the real animal didn’t have) and he explained it was a genetic mutation from using poison dart frog dna #dilophosaurus

One thing worth noting is that alongside making it scarier, the reason the Dilophosaurus was given a frill was that Spielberg worried that audiences might mistake it for the Velociraptors, so he included the feature so moviegoers didn't confuse the two.

Plus one comment: I missed a "When Dinosaurs Roamed America" Dilophosaurus Easter egg, or something like that. That one with its metallic roar is a sight to be remembered forever!

A great video for explaining the difference between movie dilophosaurus and the scientific fact without being dismissive of the fiction, so I liked your suggested genetic construction. At any rate my 4 year old absolutely loved this!

I really hope we get an updated depiction of Dilophosarus in some form of media.

Thank you for making these videos! They’re so interesting and are super easy to follow along with the information, I also love watching the animations! ❤️

You’re video of dilophosaurus is just as great as the other videos!! Did a great job!!

The dilo was probably the most far from the original it could possibly get.

I don't think thrilled lizard or spitting cobra or comodo dragon DNA was used because in the movie they have a voice track presenting the dinosaurs in the car and it says "we now know that Dilophosaurus is actually poisonous, spitting its venom at its prey, causing blindness and eventually paralysis", that implies that they discovered it once it was cloned meaning, in that universe, that is accurate to their dilophosauruses.

I'm glad to see again these videos explaining the lore of Jurassic Park/World vs the scientific consensus fossil record. I can't wait to see Brachiosaurus in the next one!

Great work on this video, natures compendium! The amount of work that goes into these videos is insane and the facts are always spot on.

The only thing that JP's ones have of "Dilophosaurus" is the presence of two crests on the head and the basic theropod form, but not even their shape are similar.

I like how you show the gory part of this animal's eating, makes it easier for us to visualize it in life even though no one has ever seen anything like it.

It’s always like Christmas when NC uploads.🦖😃

Finally, another Jurassic World dinosaur analyzing video and I pretty much agree with you on this especially the Dilophosaurus being very inaccurate to it’s real life counterpart. Great work partner it’s great to have you back and keep it up.

Well, in Jurassic Franchise there should be large/adult Dilophosaurus, just 1 meter smaller than irl Dilophosaurus, but for some reason they show only juveniles and adolescents, because i guess adult Dilos in Jurassic Franchise doesnt spit venom so they thinks its too boring or something🤷‍♂️

Keep posting man. These videos are really enjoyable and very educational for those who don’t really like reading about paleontology

i love your videos, you have such a calming voice and explain things in an educated yet simple way that makes it fun for everyone :D

They usually like to make dinosaurs bigger, but in the case of #dilophosaurus, they made it smaller. Poor Dilophosaurus, what did Jurassic world do to it! Moreover, in Crichton novel, he was a normal size

Could you make a video to compare how accurate the quetzalcoatlus is of Jurassic World Dominion compared to reality please?

Really great video! Such awesome dinosaurs. It's always really awesome to see your progress as you go about making them, and seeing them all done is nothing short of satisfying. :)

Great work man, I love it 👍

JP's movie Dilophosaurus is so iconic. It's so exciting to see you make a video that shows that the real thing is also such a magnificent animal. Dilophosaurus is my sister's favourite dinosaur, I made her a lino print shirt last year of it for her birthday

I love the real Dilo and the movie Dilo, but you don't need to downsize it to make it interesting. Dilo is low key a favorite dinosaur of mine and it's great that it gets more spotlight through movies and games like Prehistoric Kingdom. I like how these videos aren't negative in tone, they're matter of fact and educational.

Another beautifully crafted video, thank you!

It’s important to note that in Michael Crichton’s novel, the Dilophosaurus was not only the correct size but didn’t have neck frills

Video came out great -- so much animation!! Thanks for the shoutout too!

Finished the video. I'm disappointed that dilophosaurus in JWD was frilled only because it couldve been cooler if it was accurate. Imagine if juveniles have the frill and later grow into the accurate dilophosaurus!

#Dilophosaurus used to be my favorite dinosaur due to Jurassic Park. I love the poison spitter himself but ever since the 2020 redescription the real animal is so much cooler to me.

glad your back also could you do the velociraptors and spinosaurus

This is actually the first video on your channel that I’ve ever watched. Subbed! #Dilophosaurus

I have not had the fortune of reading the original book, so it may be a different case in the book, but in the film, Dennis Nedry actually mentions that the Dilophosaurus seen in the film was a younger specimen, saying "I thought you were one of your big brothers, you're not so bad." This must mean that the Dilophosaurus was a younger specimen, rather than a downsized version.

One thing to note about the original JP Dilophosaurus: Nedry states that's it's not fully grown in the movie. Quote, "I thought you were one of your big brothers, you're not so bad." So there's a reason for it being small.

#Dilophosaurus Ah yes another really amazing Nature's Compendium and this time its of the amazing, and lovely dilophosaurus. I gotta say I love the sound,color, and the overall design of your dilo, not to mention one of my favorite dinosaur: Cryolophosaurus appears in the video and I adore it 😍. Furthermore I also love when you make comparing to certain dinosaur features to modern day animals. But most importantly my favorite section was what is it made of for the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus, that section never gets old 😂. Lastly I just wish you have a good rest of your day.

I really like the Dilophosaurus, in fact one of the 1st paintings that I saw of it was "A Dilophosaurus Dinosaur Sitting In Mud Carry-all Pouch by H. Kyoht Luterman" or as I call it - Dilo on a beach, ever since then it was my favorite

Great video, I always find your videos to be extremely interesting and engaging #dilophosaurus

Hammond: "Ah, Doctor Wu, you're making the Dilophosaurus now?" Wu: "Why yes. I added the DNA of crocodiles, komodo dragons, some agama from australia, spitting cobras, and that obscure african frog we use for everything." Hammond: "Sure, sure, it probably doesn't matter what we put into these things anyway. (Five months later) Hammond: "Whoa, it sure is weird that Dilophosaurus had a frill and spits venom." Wu: "Don't understand why it's so tiny, tho." Hammond: "What was that?" Wu: "Look, it's licking the glass!" Hammond: "Nature sure is beautiful."

Amazing I love dilophosaurus alway been my favorite dinosaur

You know, before the World movies came out & after I finished watching the Park trilogy, I had no idea Dilophosaurus was a dinosaur from MY state & now I'm very proud that my state dinosaur was represented in this movie franchise. Also boy am I glad it was nothing like the in the movies. Awesome job by the way

I've been waiting for an upload from you for the longest time and they're always worth the wait! #Dilophosaurus

Hey man, i follow you on twitter and youtube for a while now, and it's very satisfying to see the passion and care you put in your videos, i totally understand the amount of work it takes to make them and i really can't express enough how cool it is to see them coming out always better than the last, keep being a passionate individual in the paleo community whom makes this world a bit more beautiful. wish you only the best!

Wow! Another great paleovideo about another popular dinosaur thanks to the JP and JW films! Bravo! It's very good and very well presented! Can't wait for more animals in your next videos! :D

underrated af channel

7:30 that's exactly how Michael Crichton described the Dilophosaurus in the Jurassic Park book.

#dilophosaurus is one of the most fascinating dinosaur in my opinion because of the history of the reconstructions like in Jurassic park design and in dinosaurs roamed America both showing the same dinosaur but both having completely different portrayals on how they look and how they act

Very informative, I love you sir, your animation skills are just the best! ❤❤❤ Plz make a ''How accurate is Jurassic World's Carnotaurus.'' For we have very little information about it, and we don't even know what mammals, turtles, crocs and dinosaurs lived with that spectacular dinosaur! ❤

Wow! Just wow! Great video!

The #Dilophosaurus from the JP novel was scary asf, I remember my first time hearing the audio book, the way it killed nedry gave me chills.

oh man I love this channel so much thx for the upload and keep it up

I do like how you do show a more colorful variant that I’m not really a fan of the nasal air sacs though I’m more of a fan of the scaly part. I do prefer Proto feathers as well and I really like how for the one that is feathered, and how much darker color scheme actually has a blue mouth and tongue, which I really like imagine T Rex having a Blue mouth with a blue tongue

Awesome work on my favorite dinosaur!

I give museum tours at a local museum and I always feel bad having to tell excited kids that #Dilophosaurus venom and it's frill aren't supported by the fossil record haha. Great vid!

hey your video was awsome pls do a how did carcha look in real life video thats my fav dino.

These videos always make my day when a new one comes out.

Love your videos , dilo is my favorite dinosaur! The real one and even the jurassic park/ world dominion one

Ingen’s version of Dilophosaurus had Frilled-Lizard and Spitting Cobra DNA implanted into its genome which gave its iconic frill and the ability to spit tar-like venom that caused either blindness or paralysis.

Informative and cool video. I like it when you speculate on the DNA of the dinosaurs of the Jurassic franchise. 🙂👍

I have a very personal hypothesis about DILOPHOSAURUS and "poisonous spit". I imagine that DILOPHOSAURUS was a puppy, for me like the chicks of the northern fulmar (Procellaria glacialis) which have a "defensive vomiting" I think that the puppy of the real DILOPHOSAURUS since it did not have "mature" crests, had a similar "umbrella" to the film as first warning then the "defensive vomit" (not poisonous, but with an odor that marked the aggressor) after the parent "fixed" the aggressor (I know this is a para-paleontological stretch, but it is at least a possibility perhaps accurate to 50%)

Sheesh. One of my favourite dinosaur from the franchise, and it has some of the biggest inaccuracies out of the bunch.

A lot of fans thought that the ones on Isla Nublar were juvenile, which would explain their small size. But I guess Dominion shows that they are adults.

Your videos are amazing! Hope you do one about Allosaurus soon! 😃😃😃

Jp dilo: Am small and i cannot fight a godang raptor Real dilo: *Gigachad large size and no frill status*

Great video! The designs were amazing, and the animation, plus everything else.👍

#dilophosaurus The video is great! The animation is spectacular and the video is informative. I hope you continue this series and have others!

Thanks for explanation so I wanna ask like if in jurassic world dominion about Dino conservation :why are there no poachers just black market dealer, can you make a video of if there are illegal animal poachers in jwd like make the clip of you know :poachers hunting trikes for their horns, dilos are being hunted for their crests and frill and paras are being hunted for their skin and their head for head mantle something like that!!

Amazing video! Thanks man!

This was great, love to see your channel continue to grow. #Dilophosaurus

Dilophosaurus is an amazing dinosaur, it is so different from other (medium) theropod dinosaurs

#dilophosaurus I absolutely love your style but I also gotta compliment your editing 🤩 it's so smooth and nice.

NC this was tremendous, Well done seriously!

Always insightful!

Another great video! Kinda a shame that every #Dilophosaurus in the franchise continous to be small, since a size chart in The Lost World and behind the scenes material of that movie confirm that the individual in the first movie was a juvenile. Although I am not sure if they had this explanation already in mind during the production of Jurassic Park to justify the downsizing.

I always like dilophosaurus starting from jurassic park ( it was so cute and viscious) then I learned recently how huge they can be. I want to be back in my dinosaur phase again! I always like to learn about them. ❤ also cool a navajo member found them!

#Dilophosaurus I'm so attached to this theropod thanks to the first JP movie, but honestly I love even more the scientifically accurate version. Thanks for this great video, I really enjoyed the work you did on these animated artworks!

5:09 cool that he used the novel Jurassic park dilophosaurus design
