Jurassic Park 4 Ideas from Canon SpeciesAfter hearing that JP4 has emerged from development hell, I was initially disappointed that they said "no feathers". But I'm not letting this ruin it for me. I figure we can all voice our creative opinions on what could be good ideas to use in the 4th film. I'll refrain from story ideas myself, because I am generally shit with them, but I figured I could go through the potential some dinosaurs from the franchise canon could have, not yet being in the films.

Troodon pectinodon: Featured in the recent JP game, this guy has huge potential. Fast, lurks in the night, glowing eyes, venomous bite, all great points. In the game it has feathers, so i

Aiya Napa Sea Serpentby ~Pristichampsus

Digital Art / Drawings / Animals

The Mediterranean sea serpent known as the Aiya Napa Sea Serpent.

Said to resemble a cross between a dolphin and crocodile, and snake.

~Antrakha Oct 8, 2012

Agreed. Based on its description, it's most likely a mososaur. Take that, science!

~Pristichampsus Oct 8, 2012 Professional General Artist

Some think perhaps crocodile, which would be more likely. Though, as far as mesoszoic marine reptiles go, a mosasaur is the most likely to have persisted, simply because it went on until the very end of the cretaceous. Plesiosaurs would be responsible for zero sea serpents IMHO because they are completely un-able to raise their neck to look like a long-necked sea monster, even a hpothetical seal would be more likely to raise its neck that far, or, unfortnately, perhaps simply an atmospherical illusion, created when an animal surfaces at a distance.

Definitely mosasaur.

~Pristichampsus Apr 30, 2011 Professional General Artist

~labgnome Dec 2, 2010
