* Why is ''Deinonychus'' listed as one of the extinct genera on the Dinosaur Protection Group website? Hasn't it been previously established that the so-called ''Velociraptors'' in the movie actually ''are'' ''Deinonychus'', albeit misnamed and without feathers. This was mad clear as early as the first movie, when a "''Velociraptor''" skeleton is being unearthed in Montana, where the real ''Velociraptor'' never lived but ''Deinonychus'' did.

* How is the skeleton of the Indominus Rex in relatively good condition if she was eaten by the Mosasaurus? You'd think the best they could hope for was a few stray fragments of ribs or vertebrae that popped out with the Mosasaur's droppings.



* Why is there so much focus on that one chunk of I-Rex rib? The rib that got stepped on is possibly still usable. How thoroughly will bone marrow be obliterated by one brief dino stomp? For all we know, the rib just got pressed into the ground and not even particularly damaged. And the rest of the skeleton is still right where they left it.

** Especially as some of the ones that were shipped off are likely to be cloned by various shady groups, as would any that get recaptured. And, much like in the first film, this will likely be done without controls or consideration for the preventative measures Jurassic World had to prevent dinosaur proliferation. Additionally, Wu is still out there, and life will, as always, find a way.

** Arguments could be made that Masrani was the key figure responsible as he presumably arranged for the Indominus to be created in the first place; it would be easy enough for Claire's defence lawyers to shift the blame to him while Claire (as they claim) was given inadequate information to make her decision.

* Why isn't Claire in a lot more hot water in this film? She's pretty much responsible for all the issues that happened in the last film, you'd think she'd be in jail for the stuff she let happen!
* We see a lot of people protesting for the dinosaurs to be saved, but aside from Ian Malcolm where is the other side of the protest? Those people who lost friends or family at the park and demanding that the dinosaurs be destroyed (or in this case, left to die?) And even if the company paid them off, there's surely a vocal minority somewhere that understands the threat the dinosaurs pose to human life, or perhaps those like Dr. Grant who sees them as nothing more than ''"genetically-modified theme park monsters"''.

Added DiffLines:

** Though if it's salt water it's unlikely any dinosaurs would drink there. Perhaps some fish can swim through the damaged gates and within chomping range?
* Since Claire could choose which cages she opened, why did she release the pterosaurs as well? The other dinos pose only a minimal threat in a local area, so they could be released somewhat safely, but the pterosaurs flew all the way to Vegas within a few days! And they have a history of killing people, so if would have been more sensible to let the pterosaurs die as they posed the greatest public risk.

** [[ArmoredPiercingQuestion Are you sure about that?]] We've already seen a parent Triceratops with a baby along with a small colony of Compsognathus. Just because we saw one of eleven or more species when they escape on screen, doesn't mean that's the entirety of them. And if the San Diego Incident in Lost World Jurassic Park is anything to go by, its ForegoneConclusion that those dinosaurs that were shipped off will lead to their kind spreading.

* Why didn't the pterosaurs all just fly away after they escaped? Why are they still hanging out on an island that has lomg threatened to explode?



* How does the Mosasaurus survive for ''four years'' without food? Granted, reptiles can go for months without feeding due to their lower metabolisms, but four years is a bit of a stretch.
** Maybe she just ate the I. Rex ''really'' slowly. Or perhaps ambushed pterosaurs that came too close to the water surface.
