Happy World Lizard Day! Here's a Northern Caiman Lizard, which has been genetically modified by Dr. Henry Wu to have feathery-like integument.

Back home from the merchant convention to the East. Apparently these went up earlier. That's some good pandering there, Mattel. These Jurassic World Legacy Reimagined toys are modeled after a David Silva (IIRC) sculpt Allosaurus that Hasbro made late in the line, and three vintage Kenner items.
It's easy to forget how big these things were until you see somebody standing right next to one.
"In the hot, quiet clearing, Eddie Carr stared toward the high circular rim of the crater, rising in the distance above the dense jungle. The bare rock shimmered in the morning heat, the walls forbidding and harsh. He had a sense of desolation, of entrapment." Michael Crichton, The Lost World

Happy International Cat Day! Only fitting for it to fall on Caturday!
Let's all wish Wayne knight a very happy birthday! As Dennis Nedry, he truly helped set chaos theory in motion.
Did you know that several of the designs of the Kenner toys for The Lost World: Jurassic Park were lifted directly from John Bell's concept art for the movie, and storyboarded ideas that never made it to screen? Pics of Ground Tracker and Glider Pack Malcolm from @jurassictoys.net.
I thought I'd come up with an "essential reference materials" listing, to compliment the list of books referenced by the Jurassic Park trilogy in our previous post
Here's a breakdown of books confirmed to have been referenced for the making of the Jurassic Park movies:
T. rex enrichment Prehistoric Kingdom crossover fan art for Greg Noneman as a tribute to Sam Neill featuring Alan Grant getting a zoo tour from Nigel Marven. #PrehistoricKingdom #AlanGrant #NigelMarven #Dinosaur #Trex #Tyrannosaurusrex #Tyrannosaurus
A bit late with this, but I needed some time to get it just right. It's the least I can do to honor the memory of a man whose work helped shape who I am. Sam Neill, we'll all miss you. Rest easy, Dinosaur Man. #RIP #SamNeill #AlanGrant #JurassicPark #ArtTribute
If you love fossil sharks, be sure to check out the Field Museum's fossil shark displays next time you're in Chicago!
BIG JAWS: A cast of Otodus megalodon's jaws among those from various extant species at the Wonders Of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium in Springfield, MO.
Fine! We'll have our OWN Shark Week! With fossils! And no AI!
This is genuinely better than most modern VFX, and that's not even coming from a place of bias. Very rarely do we get VFX like this in movies today.
Little A5 private commission. Just a cave girl and her spinosaur.

Not all Stegosaurus are created equal. In TLW, the Stegosaurus were upscaled by ILM from Stan Winston's 16ft tall and 25ft long animatronic, which was paleontologically accurate, to a gigantic 25ft tall and 40ft long!
