"And even the word Raptor means... Bird of Prey"

The FUCK does that have to do with anything? Why would you use that as evidence to prove your point? It's not like whoever named it knew its evolutionary history.

dr Alan, Im veloCIrAptor

I always thought Raptor meant 'Very Fast and Scary Reptile '

He wasn't using it as direct evidence of evolution, he was demonstrating the fact that Velociraptor was named for the very same traits that modern raptors also exhibit; being a swift and agile predator

The Veloci part of Velociraptor does cover the very fast part at least. And 'Dinosaur' as a term came from the idea they were all frightening creatures.

Birds being related to dinosaurs had been theorized since the 1800s you faggot. Velociraptor was discovered in the 1920s

this
pay attention to the rest of what he says, OP

all good thoughts
some nice digits

If I take gym class will you die?

>Why would you use that as evidence to prove your point?

publish or perish, my friend, publish or perish

JP3 even had its own plane scene, with a very similar aircraft

Except that everyone in the movie (including the other paleontologists) was acting like it was some crazy, radical new theory.

it was so dumb
>create new raptor design
>waste their 1st 'show-off' on dumb dream

You mean like the people on this board?

>Sup Forums
>1993

another poster verified me!

how did grant know the raptors had grown head feathers

>Except that everyone in the movie (including the other paleontologists)
what, by not questioning him?
nobody ever counters his statement (in the scene you are talking about) let alone brings up again for the entire film

>Character says something that is literally written towards the AUDIENCE
>still doesn't get it
This is how stupid millennials are.

>implying
given that it's a dream sequence, and what OP said
>in the first film he's adamant that dinosaurs are more similar to birds than lizards
then it would make sense that his subconscious (ie in his dream) depicts raptors having feathers

Thats what they were called in the Bible tho

They laughed at him like he was deranged.

So the new consensus is that they were all covered feathers right? Even the sauropods?

>excusing bad writing
Truly we are in the Millennial generation.

But he had seen them, without the feathers. He was adamant that the jurassic park dinos were just mutants and not truly dinosaurs. Even if he had dreamed they had feathers, why in the exact same place they actually did have them.

No, the consensus is that a fairly narrow selection of theropods had primitive feathers, not flight feathers or even really what we would call "feathers", more a sort of downy fluff. But even on the specimens where there is evidence of feathers, its only on small patches of the body.

>le small patches of feathers meme

The idea of a close relationship between birds and maniraptoran dinosaurs was coined in the late 1800's but ultimately fell out of favor for most of the 1900's until the 70's.

disprove me, find a reputable source for widespread full-body coverage on classic dinos with fossil evidence

Not him but some of those theropods would've eventually had to evolve into birds, and at a certain point would've been completely covered in feathers.

Yet they used frog dna and not chicken dna. The engineers should have noticed that the goo was much closer to birds than lizards.

Watched a prog a couple of weeks ago where a dino guy was trying to come up with, on best current evidence, the best image possible of a T-Rex. It was quite brightly coloured (he seemed to pick the colours at random), stood with its back quite flat and level (the tail sticking out straight behind as a counterbalance), and had the downy-type fluff your first reply mentions, on the back/top of the neck.

didn't know mace windu appeared on og jurassic park

And most normies, like the characters he was explaining to in the movie, were completely unaware of the theory, so it was 'realistic' that he'd explain it. I loved dinos as much as any kid, but never knew about the bird link before JP.

Reminder that Velociraptors were small.

>using an outdated "hurr dinosaurs were just birds!" picture

ayy lmao
