* John Hammond is known to have built his fortune on selling people false realities, as he gives an entire speech about how he started his career with a motorized flea circus designed to trick small children. Furthermore, in ''Film/TheLostWorld'', we learn that the lab where we saw the baby raptor hatchling in the first film was just an act put on for the tourists, while the majority of dinosaur hatching actually took place on an entirely different island, in spite of Hammond's claims to his guests that he had been present for every single birth.

It's been noted that there is no way dinosaur DNA would last nearly as long as depicted in this film (which is why it hasn't ever been tried). But what if the amber used was not from the Mesozoic era, but far later on in some region where dinosaurs continued to exist? One could even even tie it in to some other works-maybe the amber mine depicted in the film is near [[Literature/TheLostWorld Maple White Land]] or [[Film/TheValleyOfGwangi Gwangi's valley]].

[[WMG: The men on the boat were killed by the T-Rex!]]
Notice how the cage the rex was originally in is located on the deck of the ship? That would suggest that they kept it there, instead of putting it into the cargo hold. The T-Rex broke free and killed most of the crewmen. The last of them hid in the hold; when it followed them, one of the crewmen on the deck closed the doors. But the T-Rex had fatally wounded him when it broke free, and the man died, still clutching the control switch.
* The only problem is the captain's severed hand holding onto the steering wheel in the intact cabin; but we never see the other wall, and so there might well be a huge gaping hole where the T-Rex burst through right outside the camera's view. Furthermore, in the book, the T-Rex had a flexible tongue, and so it might have been able to grab the captain by his ankle and drag him close enough to eat him without breaking the cabin.
** That was a continuity error created when they [[AllThereInTheScript scrapped a section of the script]] that involved some smuggled velociraptors onboard the ship. It was based on a part of the first book.
** Perhaps the T. rex killed everyone on board, including someone who was gripping the hold door's control box. Sated, the animal descended into the hold to sleep off its meal. The box (and hand) were left lying on the edge of a crate or other high surface. Later that night, the seas got choppy, and the rocking of the ship tipped the thing over the edge, causing the switch to get tripped when it hit the deck.

** Presumably, most of the large prehistoric sea-reptiles (with some exceptions -- see Icthyosaurus) would have had to come onto land to lay their eggs. The mosquitoes could have either bitten one of the adults then or, more likely, bitten one of the young while it was on its way to the water after hatching (the young have thinner skins and all that).

In-universe, maybe a couple raptors (that's all that was needed to kill the crew) did go around San Diego, but they weren't featured so heavily in the press (and also not shown in the film) as they were relatively easier to take care of. Granted, they're faster and more clever than the T-Rex, but they can die from a single gunshot (or a few of them) and, as such, maybe the police did take them down relatively quickly. Alternatively, maybe they hid somewhere and terrorised small sectors of a population (e.g., a neighbourhood) without generating so much noise and destruction. They're the kind of predators who would take their victims one by one, killing them before they can shout.

* From the above article: He then ran into the T-rex and (mind you, he only has one arm now) went on to best the Rex in single combat. The Rex was impressed and vowed to avenge Jackson, thus supplying the DeusExMachina scene at the end of the movie in which the T-rex saves the day and saves Jackson's rep.
* He used a hollowed out palm tree as a raft and his severed, rotting arm as a paddle.
** Except for that the arm was left in the building where he disappeared.
*** He went back and got it after Ellie turned the electricity back on. Because he's JustForFun/MadeOfWin.
** And while he was at sea, he ate his own arm for sustenance. HELL YEAH.
*** He then lay dying sometime later from a mixture of several diseases brought on by eating his own flesh combined with the salt water he had to drink.
** And in Jurassic Park 4, he'll get a robotic arm to replace his severed one, go back to Isla Sorna and fight dinosaurs for kicks. It'll be called "Jurassic Park 4: Creator/SamuelLJackson with a Robotic Arm Fighting Dinosaurs".

** I was of the opinion that they didn't count Nedry because his body wasn't found and nobody knew where he went.

After all, they did try to eat those [[TheScrappy goddamn]] [[TheLoad annoying]] kids. The movie is in fact a tragedy, as the two characters that ''should'' have gotten eaten survived the entire thing.
** Shouldn't this be in the YMMV section? That's really dark.
[[WMG: The Raptors in the first film aren't evil; they're insane.]]
Raptors are highly intelligent and social animals but because the ones in Jurassic Park were clones, they had no older dinosaurs to socialize with. The scientists who bred them seemed to have little time for them once hatched so it can be safely assumed that they were left mostly to their own devices. Intelligent creatures need interaction though - Parrots (much less intelligent than the raptors are shown to be) will literally go insane if left in isolation for too long. So on Isla Nublar, you have a bunch of raptors who have had none of the rearing or socialization that intelligent pack animals need, compounded by living in a world that is alien to most of their instinctual knowledge. It's little wonder they turned into homicidal psychos. The population on Isla Sorna, on the other hand, growing mostly in the wild and breeding naturally for at least a generation or two, are much more like "real" Raptors. They attack when their territory is breached (Lost World) and when their offspring are stolen (JPIII) but they don't seek out either of those situations.
** This is canon.

[[WMG: If Nedry has escaped with the embryos, he would've ended up as big as Jabba the Hutt.]]
Probably not out of the question considering his VillainousGlutton tendencies. Would've spent most of his new, infinite wealth (and surely more payout from [=BioSyn=] in the future) on eating. If he survived long enough on such a poor diet he would become this universe's Jabba the Hutt.
[[WMG: Nedry survived.]]
The dilophosaurs appear to use venom as their primary means of attack. Dennis survived both that and their physical attacks thanks to his {{Kevlard}} and humans being larger than their normal prey. He managed to scare it off with the jeep/[[CarFu run it over]]. He then found the DNA canister, made it to the boat, and lived the rest of his life as a KarmaHoudini (besides some vision impairment).

* The Jurassic World ride, of all things, addresses this directly; the park's dilos are the result of using the DNA poison dart frogs to fill the gene sequence gaps. The venom, the frill, possibly even the smaller size is all a direct result of this "happy accident".

Primarily because fossil record is incomplete, so some of the preserved DNA was of species we haven't discovered, or that we reconstructed the fossil records for improperly (they're like our thumbed iguanodons).

* This may not have much bearing on the argument, but just wanted to point out that it isn't categorically true that such features wouldn't preserve in fossils. For instance, frilled lizards have bones that support their frills and cobras inject or "spit" (actually squirt) their venom through hollow fangs.

* Real-life fossils have zero evidence of the neck frills or poison spit because those aren't the kind of things that get preserved in the fossil record. The point of the neck frills is the same one as books like Literature/AllYesterdays: Fossils only provide a limited amount of information about extinct animals, and there is so much about them we will simply never know. This of course ties into the theme that Hammond really did not understand the science he was playing with.

This doesn't explain the size of the raptor fossil Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler are excavating in the scene that introduces them, or [[MisplacedWildlife what it's doing in the United States at all]], of course - although maybe it's actually a Utahraptor fossil that Dr. Grant misidentified.

[[WMG: Jurassic Park was doomed to fall disastrously]]
Of the staff at Jurassic Park in the movie, we see an engineer, a computer engineer, a geneticist, a game warden and a single veterinarian. The only people who deal with living animals specialize in hunting them and medicine, respectively. We see no one who specializes in animal behavior or enrichment. When told by his lawyers to bring in experts to sign off on the park, Hammond brings in two paleontologists and a chaostician. We can even see the logical end result of this in the movie- the animals have been given a rough facsimile of their natural environments, but no enrichment and social groups that could never match what they instinctually need.
Even if Nedry hadn't sabotaged the opening, it would have been only a matter of time before the park experienced a similar disaster simply because the animals were bored and stressed out of their minds
