The sail is a bit too... It's almost just like a semicircle stuck on the back, and it's a bit more complicated than that.
But personally, I'm quite a big fan of the Jurassic Park 3 Spinosaurus.
I think for its era, it's really quite good.
It is massive.
So there is this... They're from, I've got to say, Morocco.
Because Spinosaurus is found throughout North Africa, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt.
There's a massive pair of jaws or snout that's in a collection in Milan that's absolutely outsized, just like an absolute giant.
And that points to a truly monumentally sized Spinosaurus, which is where all these upper estimates of 15 plus meters come from.
It's just this one set of jaws.
But yeah, it's about right, but it's just a bit too muscly and a bit too bulky.
But in gross appearance, it's pretty good.
Does it have a chance against the T-Rex?
No, because it's got this unbelievably long, thin jaw, which was much stronger than something like Baryonyx is fundamentally not that strong.
The jaws are very long and thin.
And then the teeth are, yeah, they're big, but they're not.
big big um you know the the whole like it grabs the t-rex neck and then like snaps it well spinosaurus actually its neck is really strong going up and down and he's very weak rotating or going side to side so it's got the weakest kind of possible neck to like rotate and snap the t-rex and then t-rex has got like the strongest neck of any
like very in some level generic but quite important things it gets right t-rex is about the right size and shape and is massive and you don't actually see it run you see it power walk if you watch the jeep chase again you'll see it only ever has one foot on the ground the weird thing for me is how much some of them vary so like i'm a big pterosaur guy i do lots of work on pterosaurs the flying reptiles the pteranodons in jurassic park
Two, The Lost World.
You see them very, very briefly in one of the last shots.
And they're okay, but they're not great.
