From the mighty T-Rex ... to the cunning and savage Velociraptors … Here are 22 Dinosaurs featured in the Jurassic Park movies • Subscribe to Epic Wildlife http://goo.gl/6rzs5u • Let's Connect • -- http://www.epicadamwildlife.com/ • -- / epicadamwildlife • -- / epicwildlife • -- http://gplus.to/epicwildlife • #17 Sinoceratops (JW2) • (sin-oh-sare-uh-tops) • Ceratopsids comprise a family of dinosaurs that include triceratops. And this specimen was the first such animal discovered in China. It lived more than 70 million years ago, and was a herbivorous beast that weighed more than 2 tons and measured close to 20 feet long. • • #16 Stygimoloch (JW2) • (STIG-ih-moe-lok) • Its most notable physical characteristic would be the six spikes that projected from its skull. Experts say those spike may have been used as a form of recognition between the animals, or possibly used to butt heads -- the exact usage still isn’t known. At some 10 feet long, this is a smaller creature on the list … but was really one of the larger members of its family! • • #15 Carnotaurus (JW2) • (KAR-no-torr-us) • With a name that translates to ‘meat-eating bull’, you’d expect this critter to be massive. But it was actually a lightly built theropod predator, weighing about 1.5 tons and measuring nearly 30 feet long. Its name was inspired by the bull like horns found over its eyes, something unusual for carnivorous dinos. Experts think the horns could have been used as shock absorbers as the animals rammed each other head-on. • • • • • • #14 Dilophosaurus (JP) • (di-LOF-oh-sore-us) • This beast is known for the double crests that form on its skull, which has been compared to the crests of the modern day cassowary. It lived around 193 million years ago in North America … and was among the first carnivorous dinos found there. Weighing under 900 pounds and going about 23 feet long, the animal was smaller than some of the theropods that would follow it. In Jurassic Park, it gained some infamy when the filmmakers deliberately diverged from scientific veracity. The movie version depicted it as being able to spit venom (which it couldn’t do), and cut its size down to about 4 feet tall … in order to avoid confusion with the velociraptors, whose appearance was also somewhat fictionalized. • • • #13 Spinosaurus (JP3) • Hard to believe this big monster only appeared in Jurassic Park 3 … although some moviegoers wanted their money back after seeing a Spinosaurus kill a T-Rex. More than 49 feet long and weighing an estimated 23 tons (46,000 lbs), they’d be difficult to overlook. Named for its spines, those bony projections extended from the vertebrae and measured more than 5 feet long. Do you think this beast could have really taken out a T-Rex? • • • #12 Apatosaurus (JW, JW2) • (ah-PAT-uh-sawr-us) • This quadrupedal heavyweight has shown up twice so far in the Jurassic World movies. These long-necked sauropod dinos could measure upwards of 75 feet long and weigh nearly 25 tons (50,000 lbs). And some sources estimate that they could have been much larger than that. • • • • #11 Mosasaurus (JW, JW2) • (MOE-za-sawr-us) What the first Jurassic Park movie did for Velociraptors, Jurassic World did for these creatures -- make Mosasaurus a household name. They weren’t dinosaurs, but massive marine reptiles that went extinct around 66 million years ago. At some 56 feet long, they were among the largest members of their family, estimated to weigh around 30,000 pounds. Not surprisingly, they return for the sequel.
