Yes, in the original Jurassic Park book by Michael Crichton, Dilophosaurus did not have a frill. However, in the book, it was still a venom-spitter. The explanation is that it did indeed have that ability back in the Jurassic, we just didn't know it until InGen brought them back. Oh yeah, and the small one in the movie was, according to at least one official source, supposed to be a juvenile.
I think the ones we see in Jurassic park are not Juveniles but more of just artificially shrunken, I will assume the big ones were very dangerous so for safety purses they were shrunken.
@@Tucher97incorrect. In Jurassic park one there is a crystal clear statement that they are juvenile. The fat guy says "you're not as bad as your big brothers" Actually try watching the movies
Dilophosaurus was a favourite of mine even before Jurassic Park first came out, having read about this gorgeous dinosaur. (often jokingly wondering how good a pet it could have been if it was tameable and hadn't gone extinct, lol.), I bet they were beautiful animals when they were alive.
Like you mentioned all Dinos in Jurassic Park are hybrids/chimera so they can give or take any ability they want because its not the real deal. The idea behind that is also mentioned to compensate for the missing DNA fragments. Which is a clever idea to actually bring dinos back alive without being to realistic about them.
It is a good excuse. But what isn't. Is the lack of feathers. I can't see why all chimaeras would result in zero feather's in every species. According to experts .The small chicken sized Dino's were certainly covered in feathers. It's only the large dinosaurs which may not have had feathers as they were not needed to keep warm. And even then. It's likely as a tyrannosaurus baby that would have had downy feathers to protect the vulnerable rex chick until it grew up. (just like birds) Adult rex might have had small patches of decorative feathers for mating / to show maturity
Never thought of Dilos as evil monsters in the movies (except that time a sh**less scary 9 year old kid thought it was an alien while watching the movie in theatre through the folds of my jacket and thoughtthe crests were antennas). It's a sort of karmic punisher. In two "live" appearances they killed just the bad guy.
Crichton was trying to make a point when he made the Dilophosaurus venomous. "Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution [...] How can we possibly know what to expect?" -Dr. Alan Grant "Jurassic Park"
Dilophosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, but I despised the way it was portrayed in the film. Dilophosaurus was turned into a tiny and pathetic venom spitter which was really a giant apex predator in real life. It was one of the first theropod dinosaurs one could truly call colossal, and it set the blueprint for what larger theropod dinosaurs would become, including the T.rex. It was a robustly built carnivore with a powerful bite, because as it turns out, the double crests were used to support massive jaw muscles.
Wrong: some dinosaurs were venomous, like the four-winged proto-bird dinosaur. Its teeth seem to feature canals for venom or hosting nad bacteria that with a bite go into the prey's body. There also seem to be cavities above its upper teeth which could (but not sure) point owards venom storage.
Wrong no dinosaurs are confirmed to be venomous meaning non avian and avian dinosaurs. I am a volunteer worker at the Burpee Museum of natural history. And can confirm that there were no venomous dinosaurs known as of right now and it is very unlikely with how all dinosaurs bone structures are that they would be venomous
In some ways, the venom spitting ability is like a non-professional predecessor to all yesterdays style thinking. That conservative reconstructions that minimally fit the skeleton are not the be all and end all of what is possible and that even though it is speculation, we should be willing to accept that some speculative adaptations probably existed.
Mesa Arizona museum of natural history Which is in the Phoenix metro in my current cirty they have a beautiful full-size model Sitting outside it's about the length of a car may be a little longer which is a full size model , dilophosaurus used to roam the city years ago if you ever get a chance stop by the museum they have a surprisingly a lot of stuff
hey guys if we wanted to we'd use the common reef frog DNA drilled lizard DNA and the splitting cobra snake DNA to fill in the gaps of there genome but though it would depend on how we genetically engineer them
@gibbnasta Actually, you’d be amazed at how close it is in size to its base animal Deinonychus! The JP/ W raptors are around 6 feet ( 2 meters ) tall, 9 - 12 feet ( 3 - 4 meters) long, & weighing 330 pounds ( 150 kg). Deinonychus irl was around 3 - 4 feet ( 1 - 1.5 meters) tall, 11 feet ( 3.4 meters) long & 130 - 220 pounds ( 60 - 100 kg) Utahraptor is a MASSIVE animal for its group, reaching 18 feet ( 5.5 meters) long, 6 - 7 feet ( 2 - 2.5 meters) tall & 660 pounds ( 300 kg). Utahraptor is one of several of the largest Dromaeosaurs of the current fossil record, along with Dakotaraptor, Achillobator, & Austroraptor. All of which are around equal size!
@@hcollins9941 They are Deinonychus, but someone thought Velociraptor sounded cooler. I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure where the name change occurred. I vaguely remember Spielberg saying something about it, so it was probably his fault. For people who want accuracy, it's unnecessary nonsense.
@adolfknievel I know that they are Deinonychus, that’s why I said they are closer in size to their base dinosaur ( deinonychus) instead of Utahraptor. The real reason they call them Velociraptor is NOT because it sounds cooler, that is actually a myth. It’s actually because at the time of making the book & film, author Michael Crichton, & director Steven Spielberg, were using current paleontology information from the book “ Predatory Dinosaurs of the World” by renowned Paleontologist Gregory S. Paul; who at the time, believed Deinonychus was a separate species of Velociraptor & not its own genus. He always had a habit of lumping some species together with others if they were similar. Secondly they COULDN’T use Utahraptor as a base, because it wasn’t official described until halfway through the film’s production & publicly named some time after the film’s theatrical release.
@gibbnasta Welcome! Also some new info came out, Ulughbegsaurus, a theropod from the Bissekty Formation in Asia; has been changed from a Carcharodontosaur to a Dromaeosaur. This animal is TWICE the size of Utahraptor! 0_0’ It is also currently the largest Apex Predator of its area at the time! Giving it the nickname “ the Bissekty Giant”!
My absolute favorite dinosaur - thanks to the Michael Crichton novel, but not the movie that shrunk her down. 🦖 Never gonna forgive Spielberg for that. His reasoning was bonkers - he honestly thought audiences were stupid or myopic enough to mistake Dilophosaurus - a TEN FOOT dinosaur with V-shaped crests - for Velociraptors. Like, FFS. 🦖
Kris. What is the herbivore we all love? Blue Velvet Bob 2 Biesley.....Bob 3 Nevada MO! I need to help Sherrie Taran detail cars!!!:Where the Draw is Nevada?
Just so everyone knows the velociraptor in movie are dinanocus renamed velociraptor antiropus I know some of my spelling is off but I'm tierd of hearing and reading how the raptors in jp aren't accurate but they are based and modeled off dinonacus wich is a velociraptor
Jurassic Park Velociraptors are also too big to big to be Deinonychus. Deinonychus were closer in height and size to a wolf. While Jurassic Park Velociraptors were closer to height and size with Achillobator and Dakotaraptor.
The dilophosaurus in the movie were juvenile.... It's clearly stated by the fat guy before he died who said and i quote " you're not as bad as your big brothers"
If I had a dollar for everytime a theropod dinosaur was initially named Megalosaurus I would have enough money to buy a premium upsized steak
Dilophosaurus is honestly one of my favorite dinosaurs.
Thanks

Absolutely excellent. Huge fan. Keep up the good work! 😊😊
I appreciate time people take to post videos instead of spam dropping them.
What AI was used to make this? The spit wasn't corrosive, it was a venom that caused paralysis similar to the Coelophysis in the series.

What? No frills or venom? Well, that is okay since Dilophosaurus is fascinating just as it was.
I love the Dilophosaurus 😮
Dilophosaurus microraptor and Utah raptor are underrated
When i was little i was more afraid of the dilophosaurus than of the raptors and the tyrannosaurus.😅

In reality there’s no evidence that they didn’t have a frill or venom either 🤷🏻
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
But Frills and venom would be unnecessary for a real Dilophosaurus to use or have.
