What changes would you absolutely insist on if you (any of you) were called upon to be the new dinosaur consultant for the next Jurassic Park movie? More accurate physical models? More believable behavior patterns and mental capabilities? For example, would you insist that the JP Raptors be dropped in favor of a pack of feathery _Deinonychus_?Definitely more accurate physical models. Especially regarding skull shape and overall animal size (I know they'll never do this). Or, if size is so critical to the success of the movie, at least have the main characters mention something about InGen's genetic manipulation of the original dinosaur DNA that selected for greater size and ferocity. At least that would lend "some kind of scientific credibility" to the appearance and behavior of the animals in the movies. The film should also be up-to-date with the latest paleontological finds, irrespective of story continuity. As far as the 'raptors' are concerned, drop the genus name _Velociraptor_ in favor of _Utahraptor_. The raptors in the movies are way too big even for _Deinonychus_ to be accurate. Feathering them by rendering the models at minimum, with some down would be nice. They may exclude the often proposed arm feathers, since that is still in high speculation.
The greatest inaccuracies with regards to the pterosaurs (I refrain from calling them _Pteranodon_) in JP3 was their bloodlust. More so than the lack of integument and the apparent incredible load carrying capacity. IMNSHO, they should have used _Quetzalcoatlus_ for the part. It would have been a far better choice and the potential strength this animal should have possessed is greater as well..How big of an impact on public education would such changes have? Many people have cited the JP series as having misinformed the public about dinosaurs; correcting the errors might do more to reverse that damage than any number of person-to-person explanations of why the Pteranodons in JP3 were inaccurate...
What is that??This all assuming, of course, that JP4 can find a story worth telling...failing that, there is the soon-to-be produced A Sound Of Thunder....
