The Terrible Truth About Velociraptor Behavior On Isla Sorna - Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лип 2024
- In Jurassic Park 3 we get our first look at the parental behaviour of InGen's Velociraptors. These raptors that have spread out on Site B are shown to be incredibly
protective of their eggs, which leads to the logical assumption that they took care of their infants rather well and possibly in a similar manner to that of the Tyrannosaurs in
The Lost World. Social behavior among pack members is further examined in Jurassic World, with a clear leader being dominant over its peers. And Jurassic Park also gives us some
insight into coordination and chains of command as well.
This is a well constructed yet fragmented description of the video on the works of Michael Crichton. If you read this you will know that Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton as well as The Lost World Michael Crichton are valuable works of literature with the Jurassic World Velociraptor getting its introduction. Now in my futile effort to rank high in the search and lead my people to freedom I will invoke tags such as Jurassic Park Velociraptor and Savage Velociraptor to be used here as well as the iconic Clever Girl Raptor and the poor raptor to help out too. Of course I can't forget Jurassic World Indoraptor or Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Velociraptor either because they too feature something of a Raptor Squad in their respective keywords. In actuality The Lost World Harding character has a great deal to do with The Lost World Chaos and Jurassic World Dinosaurs are really cool because they are like the Jurassic Park 3 Raptors only not at all. In other words The Lost World Jurassic Park Sarah and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Baby Blue would make a great team and Jurassic World Blue should really consider that in a future sequel. :) If you read this and didn't go into a coma I really appreciate your continued support.

The reason the raptors are so violent and savage in The Lost World is because they never learned social pack behavior. In the natural world, wolves and lions learn a certain kind of etiquette during feeding time which you illustrated in the beginning of the video. Since the raptors are cloned, they were never raised naturally as their ancestors were and proper pack behavior has been lost.
In JP3 however, the pack seen in that part of the island seemed to figure out a hierarchy and developed their own pack social structure. This might have happened through a sort if natural selection that helped weed out the raptors who weren't smart enough to work together and protect their young. The packs that were chaotic and failed to keep their babies alive fell apart and died and the few raptors who were smart enough formed the pack seen in JP3.
In the book lost world it talked about the raptors being disorganized and sick. They didn't have any other raptors to really learn from. They were clumsy they stomped on unhatched eggs and fought over everything. They were really nothing like some of the other raptors
vladimir Vodnick yeah, wasn't it established that they were so savage because they weren't raised properly? There was no way for the raptors to learn proper behavior, so they were impulsive and lashed out.
GeneralTaco155
As I recall, they were also suffering from a prion disease that was killing off the herbivores at an above-average rate. That was part of the reason a disproportionate number of predators were being supported on the island. I think Klayton already did a video on that, actually.
Not sure if the disease was having an effect on their mental state, but I wouldn't consider it out of the realm of possibility. Memory loss and irritability?
A GeneralTaco Yeah unlike the T-rex which has instinctively knows how to raise it's young the raptors are highly intelligent social animals. The downside of this is that they have to be THOUGHT how to hunt and how to raise their young. Hence it is NOT encoded in their DNA, and not brought back when they are cloned.
I would argue you can see this hinted at in Jurassic World where the raptors are thought by Grady like a surrogate parent, but the I. rex is raised in Isolation and thus is vicious and violent.
animalia555 I doubt the irex was mental due to isolation alone. It killed its own sibling, and was custom made to be a hunter/killer. There really isn’t a way to socialize that sort of creature.
And what about Rexy? She’s been locked up in her paddock longer than the irex, yet the first thing she does when let loose is chase a flare and go on the attack of the first competitor it sees. Then she just walks off and resumes her position as alpha of the island like it ain’t no thing.
crypto1223 she was cloned in Site B but was later moved to Isla Nublar when she became large enough
If I'm not mistaken, this behavior is later explained to be so, because these dinosaurs never had parents to teach them how to behave. They were SAVAGE and unlike their counterparts in the fossil record, because, well.. they weren't OF the fossil record. Without a previous society or clan to teach them how to live or any sort of real social structure, they took the only trait they knew: survival, and applied that to everything. While they were able to work together to make a kill, there was no real respect amongst them. Survival of the fittest. As a matter of fact, in the first book, The raptors track Lex and Tim into the nursery of the main building, and when one of the children slide an infant towards the direction of the raptor, they do indeed ponder at it.. But then proceed to eat it.. I guess the point is to further drive home that we shouldn't have brought these creatures back, because they're even worse for it. These savage characteristics were just another way to show that.
Oh yes. Its one of the things that Crichton excelled at in his work. He really sells a great WARNING to the dangers of genetic manipulation
Steven Perez Ah yes, thats great observation. It also links in with what Owen says in JW, that 'animals raised in isolation arent always the most functional'.
Steven Perez in tho fossils record it shows that a baby velociraptor bite it's sibling hard in the face possibly killing it.
Very interesting point!
Very good point - learned behaviour is critical, and I recall watching an elephant documentary that demonstrated the point. In a wildlife park somewhere in Africa, two "teenaged" bull elephants were running amok. They killed a rhino and other animals and were generally a huge and dangerous nuisance. The solution was to introduce a mature bull who soon taught the terrible teens how to act responsibly, and the trouble basically stopped. There can not be enough stress put on the importance of having adults around to model appropriate behaviour, which our Jurassic Park dinos had none. IMO all the species should have been demonstrating some level of unnatural behaviours because of this.
It makes the i-rex suddenly look normal
Sawrattan what about a j-Rex
@Sahib I believe I rex that you see in the 2015 movie is actually a male, Females would have large red quills, much like the isla sorna raptors
@@gridthexenomorph3658 actually, the Sorna male raptors have the red quills. The females on Sorna are white with black markings on their backs and sides. It's also stated that the Indominus Rex is female
@Sahib it killed its sibling because it was being tortured and experimented on its sibling was in pain so the i-rex put it out of its misery go watch this video { ua-cam.com/video/q-hR-hbWRtY/v-deo.html }
@omegatrex alteori said it's a theory POV theory
I feel like the pack of raptors we've seen in Jurassic World are much less savage because they were more closely monitored and better raised. The pack in the original JP movie, as he said, had essentially been sabotaged by a large and aggressive outlier. She was smarter than the others, but also more ruthless. This seems more like psychopath taking control of a vulnerable group than what may have been typical otherwise. Clever Girl seemed more interested in establishing a VERY clear pecking order than just being the pack leader.
A similar situation seems to have happened on Isla Sorna. Someone mentioned prions killing off the elders in that pack (tribe?), causing the rest to have no way to learn more coordinated survival skills. The animal behavior Sattler observed was unlike that on the African Savannah because it had developed over a decade or so as opposed to hundreds of thousands of years of natural selection and different species finding their niche. These raptors are likely more interested than their own individual survival than pack preservation, with perhaps a base instinct to hunt in groups guiding some of their behavior.
The raptors in JP3 behave very differently. They're protective of their young. Even though they're just eggs, they ruthlessly stalk the protagonists to get them back, and are once again more coordinated and clever than those shown in The Lost World. This makes me think that this may be more in line with typical pack behavior. This type of coordination and care for the juveniles seems more likely to create a long-lasting, effective group.
As I said about Blue's pack earlier, it was not only monitored, but actively trained by Chris Pratt and Friends (This is the new name for the United States Navy in the JP universe, it's canon). They imprinted on him, and he worked to establish himself as the group's Alpha. This did not domesticate them overnight (Even before the I-Rex hijacked them, they're shown being aggressive and difficult to control around non-Pratt or Omar Sy humans. I wish Blue's pack had survived so we could see how they react to wild raptors threatening Pratt (or Owen I guess) in Fallen Kingdom.
Thank you for attending my Rex Talk.
True but we did see how aggressive Blue was when the Indoraptor was about attack Owen in Fallen Kingdom. She became enraged and immediately attacked the Indoraptor.
I've always seen the book version raptors as near psychopaths and cannibalistic.
No surprise. They were born into a world with no adult raptors to train them.
Even if you took modern human infants to some far-flung corner of the world, and just let them grow up with each other devoid of any adult instruction... they'd probably be rather savage and uncivilized as well.
This is likely compounded by the raptor's intelligence. The smarter an animal is, they can't coast along on instinct alone like several other dinosaurs can. They need to utilize that intelligence to find their own place in the environment, both with other animals and their own kind. The later of which can be horribly complex by just looking at crows, wolves, orcas, and other social creatures.
It was also a patchwork animal that had never existed before, was never supposed to exist. It was always going to behave like a predator, but they gave it raptor DNA too. The raptors in the original park were the most unstable and socially stunted animals they recreated, so its no surprise the I. rex went on a bit of a spree. It was a predator with not way to hone or develop those instincts and behaviours, on top of the genome of a predator that needed social interaction to develop.
Not all animals need this social behaviour - though it tends to be common in birds, mammals and other higher animals.
What's crazy is that there's evidence saying Deinonchyus had cannibalistic qualities and that they were a bigger threat to each other than other predators were to them. My knowledge on this is rather minimal, but it's still rather interesting to hear about. They are compared to the Komodo Dragon in most cases.
I can't stand that the, "World" movies turned Raptors into dogs.
The intro set the tone for the rest of the video rather well.
With the Lost World book, the raptors were revealed to be that way due to the prion disease killing off the older ones. That's why they were, well, savages, when compared to the "wild" pack shown near the end of Jurassic Park where they were neat and orderly.
As a major side note, there's comments by Crichton that the Big One was a rogue animal...something also theorized to be why the JP3 Spino was also such a sociopath.
In many ways, it seems that the JW and JP3 raptor behavior was heavily based on the last part of Jurassic Park's novel
Was it prions? I thought it had to do with the purposefully engineered Lysine deficiency. It was one of their backups to control the animal population, if any actually managed to escape or someone stole one. They were to get lysine supplements or eventually die because they were unable to make proteins properly without it. The animals had survived for as long as they had on the island without these supplements by drinking the urine of the other dinosaurs in order to recapture its lysine contents.
Nope, the novels explained the Lysine issue wasn't a problem due to the animals diet. The herbivores ate a lot of plants that were high in it (Soy and others that had been on the island due to being fast growing and would work to feed the herbivores if I remember correctly), and then the predators would get theirs from the herbivores.
The prion issue was the main reason the predators were having massive issues with violence. They didn't have many adults because the prion plague was pretty much killing them off which meant there wasn't the stable society seen in the end of Jurassic Park.
The lysine contingency had already failed during Jurassic Park with all of the extra dinosaurs on the island that wouldn't be getting the supplements...
@@azurepulse1870 prions bc of sheep meet lmao
Readers of the Lost World also got to witness these raptors savagery soon after, when Richard King was unfortunate enough to walk into the long grass near them. The killed him in a similar fashion to Udesky in JP3, before tearing him apart and even ripping his head off.
The killer also ate King's chocolate snack too.
He got a taste for it. That's how he found the high hide. :D
You forgot probably the most chilling part to cement in the complete lack of pack mentality when one of them found the chocolate bar inside his pocket and proceeded to run away and eat in solitude for fear of having its meal stolen
Howard King not Richard King.
Scary part is, farm animals like chickens are almost exactly the way these raptors are described
If one chicken injures its other fellow chicken and it's bleeding, they'll go berserk and go into a frenzy
So yeah, birds and dinosaurs are Psychopaths
Farmer buys chickens for the first time
moved them in the barn with the cows to keep them out of the rain
The next morning his dog is missing, he finds a dozen chickens pecking at a couple dead cows, blames coyotes
More cows go missing
Can’t finds any coyotes
Chickens roaming about
Some escaped into the wild
One night he stays out
Cows go crazy
He runs out, nothing but chickens
The cows throats ripped a few meters away from the cow
The farmer’s toddler goes out to find his dog
Never comes back
Police get involved
Find the kid’s skull in the chicken’s coop, inside a chicken nest
The check the barn, more missing bones
Farmer is shocked and taken to jury, he is given a light sentence of a few years
Nobody is there when he’s released
He walks back home, nobody is there, nothing
No cows, no birds
Not a thing
But he hears the clicking of chickens in his house
But no chickens in sight, they made nests in the walls
He’s scared and stressed out, can’t sleep
He checks the house in the morning
Nothing, a dead Fox is out back with chickens waking on it
He’s freaked out, locks the chicken coop and sets it on fire
There’s this fucking horrible rattling hiss at first and turns into a shrill sound, like nails on a chalk board
The farmer is freaked out
Something inside the coop is banging against the door
Chickens scatter as a rattling screech erupts, getting louder and louder
The fire spreads to the tall grass
The farmer doesn’t have anything but the clothes on his back
Runs off before the fire grows too big
The coop is rocking, that rattling hiss in the background, drowning out the panicked clicks of the chickens and the sound of his home burning
He runs off down the road
Fire fighters arrive and put down the flame, a few miles of land is burnt
The farmer returns to his land the next day and checks what should be a chicken coop
Inside is some thing, too big to be a chicken, too many small limbs to be a coyote, it looks melted almost, not burned
The damned thing is still kicking the farmer abandons the farm, never to return, the thing wails in the background, the wailing grows louder and it starts to shake
The farmer is really scared now
Is hauling ass out of there
The charred thing rolls out of the coop, kicking and shaking violently as if in a full seizure
That damned rattling hiss, nails to a chalk board
It gets louder, deafening
The farmer doesn’t turn back
Moves faster
Tells officials what happened
They don’t believe him
He tries getting helped and later is imprisoned for disturbing the peace
Having gone how knows how long warming people about what was at his farm
They checked the farm
Nothing was there
They locked the farmer up, now in a asylum, his wife having gone missing
They believe he killed her, he remains locked up telling the story to anyone who will listen to his story, inside the asylum
Be me working there
Decide one day to look up the address he told me
Doesn’t come up, apparently someone turned it into farmland a while back
Silent_Stalker. What the fuck dude...
Silent_Stalker. If this is a movie i would love to see it
KSound Kaiju Chickens are dinosaurs. Descendants of them anyway.
same goes with pigs, i own them, and if one pig is hurt and bleeding, other pigs will bite, not with the intent to devour mind you, but bite and cause further wounding, almost like piranhas, if you do not remove the wounded pig from the pen to heal, they just might nimble at it for long enough for it to die from said wound.
so the raptors are basically geese. I see this behavior in geese here on youtube.
Well Nublar and especially Sorna are the only places in the world where the geese chase YOU.
I've seen a geese fight up close and personal. When I was younger I would go on walks with my mom,dad,brother,and grandma. My grandma always brought bread to feed the resident ducks and geese. We get to the lake and we start feeding 1 goose then 5minutes later they're were 27 adult geese hungry for bread. They hissed and snapped at each other and sometimes us if we didn't hand it to them quick enough. Next thing we notice two geese are fighting over who got the big piece of bread. They bit each others necks, slapped each other with their wings, and all the other geese made a circle around the fighting pair watching and honking loudly. It went on for 20min,once it was over the winner claimed his prize(big piece of bread) the loser swam off(but don't worry i followed it and fed him too🙂). Of course a raptor fighter fight would be much more graphic,but i thought this was interesting behavior.
This also support and further the theory of avian species are indeed the descendant of these ferocious beast... this video gives me the creep...
If you think about it dinosaurs never truly went extinct.
Super Saiyan CJ true.
The Lost World novel explains the behavior - harding decides that it had to do with the first generation of these animals growing up without being raised by other raptors, so they're highly social animals that never learn how to function beyond their instincts.
I really love the savageness of the novel raptors. They're a very different animal than the movie raptors in terms of behavior, IMO. I'd really like to see this behavior explored in a future film, although I do love the hyper intelligent packs shown in JW and JP3. I like the very smart raptors because they have more depth than a savage beast who kills on sight, but I think it'd be a nice change to see some familiar faces acting so differently to what we're used to.
Yeah. Nature’s not always red in tooth and claw you know..
It'd be cool to show both. A savage pack faces off with an intelligent and organized pack.
That intro was kinda creepy
TRUE
Something important to keep in mind(spoiler alert} is that all the animals on Isla Sorna suffered a disease introduced to the island via the goats used to feed them and a big part of the book's plot revolved around discovering that every animal was dying shortly after reaching sexual maturity. Most of the book highlights the characters observing strange, unpredictable, and almost alien behavior which is later used as a bullet point to show how out of place the genetically modified animals we'd been calling dinosaurs we're on this Earth that was not their mother.
TL;DR The dinos on Sorna has a disease that killed every one of them before they got old and that led to weird, unrefined behaviors that shows they aren't dinos but creations of man.
I see
I believe in the book it was theorized this was due to the fact the animals didn't have any adults (since they were all born within cages around the same time) to teach them the behaviors like pack hunting, etc. so they became completely savage and never learned their packing hunting traits.
Yeah, I seem to remember that there was a difference between the behavior of the ones born in captivity and the ones born in the wild. The latter were much less aggressive if I recall.
I really need to read those books again!
That's why their nests were all haphazard too, whereas the wild-born raptors in the first novel had an elaborate nest underground.
Like feral dogs in Australia, which are easily distinguishable from dingos by the savagery of their hunting
wasn't it a prion disease breaking down essentially all dinosaur society?
Don't forget how also in the book the adult raptors killed and ate their infant young in the nest as soon as they hatched
hawkeye93ify I didn't read/finish the book. but that seems counter productive. animals don't usually eat their young without reason. shortage of food, space, etc. the exception being sibling of a single nest outing each other for top spot.
Rafael Roquemore actually male bears would sometimes kill cubs
@@gianniarias8223 just if the cubs arent no yours but not another male
@@Sebastian-xi5rr it’s been 2 years
@@gianniarias8223 yeah?
This is my favourite video of yours so far. It takes us back to the original darkness of JP1, reminding you that these aren't just animals, they're aliens from a mysterious world, and we have no idea just what Hammond has unleashed. It's like dusting an ancient city and never discovering the horror that people endured there
Well...they are just animals. The central message of the film (especially the first) is that they are animals we don't understand and believe we can control simply because we have zoos. But modern zoos cannot cater for dinosaur size, behaviour or unpredictability. Really, if the original JP had simply treated the animals with respect instead of as theme park attractions, the park would've succeeded. It didn't fail because of chaos theory, it didn't fail because dinosaurs are some completely alien form of life that doesn't conform to anything else currently on Earth - it failed because they assumed dinosaurs could be kept in the same way as bears, crocodiles or lions. They can't. They have their own needs and requirements.
It also failed because of Dennis Nedry's betrayal and how Hammond failed to realize that not everyone is motivated by noble idealism like he was. Nedry was motivated by money, Muldoon was motivated by a desire to provide for his family and to keep his underlings alive, etc.
As for the dinosaurs, it would've only been a matter of time before something bad happened and the dinosaurs rampaged, Nedry simply sped up the process.
@@KRSsven that was the chaos. The ecosystem was unknown and also could cause other problems.
@@KRSsven But they aren’t. They aren’t animals, and they definitely aren’t dinosaurs. We didn’t just copy “aliens from an unknown world.” We used Genetic code that we cannot control with Science that we do not understand, spliced up into its own creature. In other words, they are not dinosaurs. People used dinosaur DNA to create a genetic Frankenstein’s Monster. It is a variety of creatures mixed into a sloppy, vicious, and sick mix of flesh.
@@pigwhaleg They are, in fact, animals since there is no such thing as monsters. They may come from a vanished time but they are still animals. They also aren’t genetic monstrosities - they used compatible sequences to repair the gene sequence gaps.
So while I understand what people mean when they claim the JP dinosaurs are just monsters, they are not. Something like a T. rex may appear like a monster but that’s only because there is nothing like it on earth today and from our perspective it is a monstrous creature. But from it’s perspective, we’re just little things they can eat.
People forget all the time that the first two films treated dinosaurs properly, like the animals they are. JP3 had the Spinosaur expending a lot of time and energy chasing a couple of people around like a horror movie monster. Jurassic World literally has a genetically blended ‘’monstrous’’ animal, because it never existed and because of this has completely unpredictable behaviour.
But rest assured, even genetically engineered organisms are still organisms. A genetically engineered animal is still an animal. The original park didn’t fail because of the animals themselves, just a lack of understanding of their needs compared to smaller creatures in zoos.
The intro... Is incredibly, incredibly creepy. Mainly due to the background music.
THOSE PICTURES WERE TERRIFYING
Space Pirate Playz HD I agree he picked the best pictures - the more computerised-looking ones are especially creepy!
One of my favorite points by Crichton was that the dinos were socially different those extinct and behaved drastically different than the real animal.
Quadrenaro do you mean they behaved different from modern animals or from originally extinct dinosaurs?
Than any really. The book brought up that raptor clones didn't have parents to teach them how to behave socially so, left to instinct, where quite violent towards each other.
Quadrenaro oh yes I see. It's a valid point if you think about animals today which have been poorly socialised (kittens taken from their mum too early, or feral dogs which kill more savagely than wolves)
Even humans... Just look at how children from broken homes grow up more likely to become criminals.
Interesting take on the velociraptor behaviour. I'd like to add that if I may. In Crichton's Lost World, Levine points out to Malcolm that the raptors on the island lack the culture and social behaviour they would have learned from preceding generations of raptors. Since they were originally hatched from a lab, they were truly chaotic and savage; totally different from those millions of years ago
in the original book, tim and lex look like the baby raptor that they had seen when they first arrived at the park, was attacked by other 2 adult raptors, and lex said the following "they are eating it", that part and the details that followed in that scene frosted my blood
Well to be fair this baby raptor was probably not considerd one of theire park, most carnivores would kill babys which are not their owne ore from their family.
Later in the book we see a raptor nest where the babys and eggs are just fine.
Daniel Chavez Yeah, I remember that the baby was killed and eaten by one of the Velociraptors in the nursery
Typically male carnivores will kill the young of any female that's not their mate in order to induce them to go into heat so that they can mate with the female and produce cubs of his own and thus passing on his own genes. In the case of lions this only happens when a young male encounters a pride and manages to kill or chase off the resident male and take over the pride.
If I remember correctly, male chimpanzees are also known to commit infanticide for the same reasons as lions, to get a female in heat. The difference is that I believe that with chimps they don't necessarily do it to strangers as it were but to members of their own pack.
i kinda understand those raptors,whenever someone tries to take food out of my plate i realy want to go full raptor mode on them myself.
lol
I don't blame you I would do the same if someone takes bacon out of my plate
Someone: (grabs my sandwich)
Me: *HISSSSS*
If James Cameron made Jurassic Park, the Raptors would probably bee as scary as the Xenos.
Sniper0092 Scary? He altered the really scary and lovecraftian xeno from alien 1 into a mass of bulletfood space termites. He took away everything which was once scary in terms of the alien franchise.
FelixAJS 02 Totally disagree. It's a nice blend between action and horror. He didn't take away anything. He amped it up.
Sniper0092 Well I disagree too ;) The xenomorph was supposed to be an indestructible being beyond human comprehension. It became a mere „monster“ like dozens in the sequel. Take the reproduction cycle: originally the organism was supposed to „morph“ humans in eggs to infect other hosts. By introducing a queen Cameron took away a large part of the mysterious and „alien“ structure of the xenomorph organism. It became a mere space bug. I like aliens in a certain way but on the other hand it marks the begin of this franchises downfall because the fine lovecraftian inspired Horror from Alien was dropped for a „into your face“ style of horror which I do not appreciate as much as the original concept. If you consider old concepts for the sequel of alien or even for an alternative ending of the first part you will notice there were several ideas of how to conclude/continue the story in a much more scary way. To me horror is most effective when it deals with things we are not able to comprehend or are unknown to us. Aliens pales in comparison to the first movie and the original concept of the xenomorph.
While an alien can seem indestructible nothing can realistically withstand an M41A Pulse Rifle going full auto on them
@@FelixS. everything pales in comparison to the original works the Xenomorph was inspired by.
Kind of sad that the raptors in the film are being turned into sort of protagonists, the sequence from the trailers to the raptor nest to the convenience store is my favorite part of the novels and I'd love to see another drawn-out action-packed sequence between raptors and humans like that, there's just a lot more you can do at times with a smaller smarter villain than a dinosaur the size of a building. So I'm hoping the Indo raptor will give us some more of that action in the upcoming movie.
Very true I remember being terrified of the velociraptors in the novels and the first movie the first few times I watched it when I was little they gave me nightmares but these new raptors won’t scare anyone but guess we’ll find out when fallen kingdom premieres, it already seams a bit darker than the Jurassic world
Thomas Kang I assume that's precisely why they're bringing in the Indoraptor - so that they can turn the old raptors into full protagonists and have new "unnatural" "nonanimal" raptors become full antagonists.
Thomas Kang Agreed. It was much better when the raptors were antagonists. You could do more with them because you never knew where they'd be coming from since they weren't the size of a school bus. They were legitimately frightening in the first movie and still threatening in the two sequels after. But they were essentially turned into really big dogs in JW. Now everybody loves Blue, they love raptors, they want pet raptors. Kind of sad, but it happens to a lot of fan favorite things. Producers see money so they keep them around, like Rexy.
+Jason Krueger
I still loved raptors and wanted one as a pet when I was a kid, even having seen the first three movies. That's just an "obsessed with dinosaurs" thing. Honestly, if I had to guess, the *reason* they made the raptors in JW domesticated to some extent was *because* so many kids had wanted pet raptors as kids; not the other way around. Same thing with that game ARK that came out on Steam a while back. A lot of people who loved dinosaurs as a kid (or are kids now and love dinosaurs) always had that fantasy of being the one person their ferocious pet dinosaur wouldn't attack because they had some kind of bond with it.
And if kids wanna fantasize about having pet raptors, let 'em. Not like it affects anything.
KJ Ookami the raptors of JW aren’t domesticated. Don’t get it twisted. They’re trained and work with certain humans.
But didn't the book also say something about the raptors not having social skills because they are clones. They didn't have parents to teach them so they just went farol. Didn't the book say something about the nest being in shambles, with dirty nests babes just running around doing whatever. Of course maybe wrong, i haven't read the books in years.
I think so, which the topic was brought up in Jurassic World
Dr. Wu said in Fallen Kingdom that in order for them to make more Velociraptors they would need Blue to be like a mother to them.
#BringScaryRaptorsBack
lucky dominguez just wait until the second half of Fallen Kingdom
I think they’re doing a Blue “Hero Dinosaur” kinda like Rexy but I really miss seeing the Raptors being “mean”
Dana White I’m sure we’ll get to see Blue being mean, I mean in JW she did kill at least one human, one of the InGen soldiers.
She might yet slice some more humies in JW:FK
yeah especially having to survive in the wild for a few years without any human contact.
True, i´m fine with a Raptor been a heroe but gotta admitt i like much more the big one from JP and raptors been straight up vicious, so as the t rex, I like rexy been an accidental heroe but not a heroe all straight up.
It's very interesting how the raptor society functions. They eat almost like a school of sharks. I too hope they get back to being scary. They're absolutely vicious and them being able to be tamed took a lot of the scares out of JW for me unfortunately.
Keep up the great work, Klayton! I’ve been hoping you’d touch on this! The raptors in the novels were infinitely more terrifying than the ones in the movies. If you can squeeze it into a future video, I’d love to see you bring up Muldoon using a grenade launcher on them!
From when I read the book, I seem to remember that Sarah theorized that the Prion disease was affecting their mentals state...
Xzendon Ultimus that is a plausible explanation
Thats plausible but these animals were in captivity. That can make animals go a little crazy too.
Super Saiyan CJ I can imagine but still if they were breeding wouldn't the insane be gone after a number of generations?
Honestly i dont think the insane would be gone. I think it boils down to how the animals are housed and treated. The velociraptors in JP1 weren't housed in a large enclosure for example. Animals in a small area with no way of getting away from each other let out their frustrations on one another.
Animals need vast areas to stake out territory.
One of your videos showed up on my recommend after watching the trailer for fallen kingdom. I was curious about the topic and watched it. Then I watched another, and so on. 7 hours later I realized it was 3am. Your videos and insight are truly entertaining. Props to you!
I watched this video a couple hours after it was uploaded and the music in the background still creeps me out. It reminds of just how scary the raptors are in the Jurassic Park franchise. When I was little, the only scene of the movie that would scare me was the kitchen scene where the big one and another one searched for Lex and Tim. Interesting video, makes me wanna read the books.
I love your work with the background music.
As I knew you would, you covered this topic beautifully! Well done, mate!
an excpert of the original jurrasic world book by micheal chriton that shows the viciousness of the raptors
Grant reached the rear door to the visitor center, the same door he had left twenty minutes
before. He tugged on the handle: it was locked. Then he saw the little red light. The security
doors were reactivated! Damn! He ran around to the front of the building, and went through the
shattered front doors into the main lobby, stopping by the guard desk where he had been earlier.
He could hear the dry hiss of his radio. He went to the kitchen, looking for the kids, but the
kitchen door was open, the kids gone.
He went upstairs but came to the glass panel marked CLOSED AREA and the door was
locked. He needed a security card to go farther.
Grant couldn't get in.
From somewhere inside the hallway, he heard the raptors snarling.
The leathery reptile skin touched Tim's face, the claws tore his shirt, and Tim fell onto his back,
shrieking in fright.
"Timmy!" Lex yelled.
Tim scrambled to his feet again. The baby velociraptor perched on his shoulder, chirping and
squeaking in panic. Tim and Lex were in the white nursery. There were toys on the floor: a rolling
yellow ball, a doll, a plastic rattle.
"It's the baby raptor," Lex said, pointing to the animal gripping Tim's shoulder.
The little raptor burrowed its head into Tim's neck. The poor thing was probably starving, Tim
thought.
Lex came closer and the baby hopped onto her shoulder. It rubbed against her neck. "Why is it
doing that?" she said. "Is it scared?"
"I don't know," Tim said.
She passed the raptor back to Tim. The baby was chirping and squeaking, and hopping up
and down on his shoulder excitedly. It kept looking around, head moving quickly. No doubt about
it, the little thing was worked up and"Tim,"
Lex whispered.
The door to the hallway laadn't closed behind them after they entered the nursery. Now the big
velociraptors were coming through. First one, then a second one.
Clearly agitated, the baby chirped and bounced on Tim's shoulder. Tim knew he had to get
away. Maybe the baby would distract them. After all, it was a baby raptor. He plucked the little
animal from his shoulder and threw it across the room. The baby scurried between the legs of the
adults. The first raptor lowered its snout, sniffed at the baby delicately,
Tim took Lex's hand, and pulled her deeper into the nursery. He had to find a door, a way to
get outThere
was a high piercing shriek. Tim looked back to see the baby in the jaws of the adult. A
second velociraptor came forward and tore at the limbs of the infant, trying to pull it from the
mouth of the first. The two raptors fought over the baby as it squealed. Blood splattered in large
drops onto the floor.
"They ate him," Lex said.
The raptors fought over the remains of the baby, rearing back and butting heads. Tim found a
door-it was unlocked-and went through, pulling Lex after him.
Gustavo wow
Excellent video. I think it would be amazing to have an R-rated jurassic park movie to truly show the brutality and realism that these spectacular yet frightening creatures would have exercised.
Love the intro here! 👍🏻 Really ominous!
So proud to see your subscriber count growing at such a fast rate. Proud to say I've been here since 12k
Iv geeked out on your videos for about 12 hours now lol
I'm new to this channel and I LOVE it. Some of this videos like this one are really creepy and scary especially with the scary background music and I love it. I'm definitely subscribing!
Wow man, your vids are amazing. I'm a big jurassic park fan and I just live learning more about the lore of the franchise. Im gonna have to get myself the book too, it sounds awesome. You just earned a new suscriber!
Your videos keep improving man, good fricken video!!! It's been a good few years since I've read either novel. I think it might be time to start up again. I distinctly remember the books were some of the finest works of fiction I've ever read. It's probably part of why I'm into horror so much as of late.
Keep these coming, the intro was especially good.
I honestly love this video so much, I’d love to see more darker Jurassic videos
You make a good narrator. Love the video.
Just discovered your channel and I enjoy the JP theory videos you make! Looking forward to seeing more!
Very informative, as always. Great job. 😁
I really love the tone of this video
Very foreboding and a real attention grabber. I sent links to one of your videos I hope it will get you more followers, I think your channel deserves recognition and thjs video on the behavior of Raptors is a great addition for fellow hardcore Jurassic fans and newcomers alike, Your content keeps delivering and I am always excited when another of your videos pop up.
Man I really appreciate that and thinks its awesome that you're so into my stuff haha! :) I'm glad you're still having fun with these and really appreciate the support! :)
Couldn't have said it better myself, i feel the same exactly.
Great video by the way, i just love all this Jurassic Park talk. Ive only read the first book and seen all the films. So these videos help paint a much broader image of the whole Jurassic Park universe.
Hey thanks haha
Really appreciate hearing that man!
Thanks man, now i cant sleep. Its giving me chills man
Great thoughts! keep up the good work!
This video was bloody fantastic m8, I sware on me mum. Great job!
ive always been intrigued by raptors so yeah id enjoy seeing their behavior explored more
Seriously, everything you put out on Jurassic animals is just interesting! You articulate so much better than most other posters. Keep up the great videos!
well until now i've really only seen these conversations in text form on the old JP legacy so I think video presentation in general is a stronger method
wow that was actually mortifying to know. but still very interesting and yes I too would like to see more and learn more about these creatures. by the way sorry for not being so active and not comment on some of your videos I've been kind of busy with a few things they've all been great and I really enjoyed each and every single one of them and I hope you keep putting out more have a great day.
This was rather well done, second video of yours I've seen and it's really interesting and good to learn and understand more about, Jurassic park.
I'll have to get the books to get the full experience.
I love your content dude rock on
Bro one of the BEST video you have done
In the first book Michael Crichton shows you the difference in behavior between the captive group of Raptors and the ones found breeding and raising young at the end. They were very different animals. That wasn’t carried forward into the next book and never shown in the movies but made a very memorable part of the first book.
Such vicious beasts. This was very fascinating. Thank you.🙋
Awesome video, I really enjoyed it.
You're freaking amazing! I would love to hear the novel read by you.
These are really nicely done. Kinda theamed like your doing a David Attenborough documentary.
Awesome video!
love the lore videos dude!
Ayyyy a new video!
Question. Did you ever do a video on the other 3 islands or has anything ever been mentioned about them? I’d really like to know more about them if there’s any information on them.
I've yet to do a video on them but they are the basis of a TON of fan fiction stories. Not much is known about them apart from some ancient Mayan Ruins that are on them ;)
Klayton Fioriti
1) Thanks for that! Hopefully you get a chance for a video like that! I look forward to that.
2) Have you read Critchon’s book “Dragon Teeth?” It has to do with paleontology and the Bone Wars so don’t know if that’d be a good read or not. I imagine it would be.
3) Love the quote. I was wondering if I accidentally clicked a different video since I didn’t see your normal intro.
4) Keep up the good work! I listen to your videos all the time at work. Makes the day go by faster and makes me frustrated that I can’t find anyone who loves this stuff as much as I do, in person at least. I got my fiancée into Jurassic World The Game on our phones and that’s about the extent of her excitement level for this stuff. Haha
Site c is the only other one that has dinos on it and it was to be used to test new DNA if u google it then u can see a bunch of new dinos such as the quatzal wich is a gigantic bird but because it's so heavy can't fly
Quetzalcoatlus was the largest flying reptile to ever live apart from a single closely related relative and it could indeed fly. Its cruising speed was about 40 miles an hour and when it really wanted to go fast it was insane. Pterosaurs don't have bat skin membrane wings like common depictions show. They were made of solid flexible muscle that they could flex however they wanted every which way. Nothing is quite like that that exists today. They are insanely strong equipment to fly. They also have hollow bones like birds despite having no relation to them so they were very lightly built making flight easy. but by no means were they fragile. Flying reptiles also aren't dinosaurs. Their evolutionary line diverged from them before they existed, creating an entirely separate family tree, its the same story for marine reptiles that include Mosasaurus, Liopleurodon and Ichthyosaurus. Birds are the last living dinosaurs. They come from the Animalia (animals) branch of Dinosauria (dinosaurs), Dromaeosauridae or the "raptor" family tree, that includes Velociraptor and Utahraptor.
There are actually 4 unseen islands along with Sorna. Nublar is not one of the Five Deaths island chain.
These videos are so cool!
The Raptors have to be my favourite dinos so intriguing and terrifying.
If the book has more on their behaviour I need to know more if not then I would either write my own story about them or maybe even a graphic novel of a documentary film-maker blindly assigned to capture the animals on camera to show Ingen what they're capable of more what makes them tick in the wild (this being set Way before JW)
*also I noticed you've liked some of my comments from other videos you're awesome Klayton keep up the great videos!*
Thanks my dude!
Klayton Fioriti :D
Dude, new to your channel. Even though I don't agree with all the theories put forth I respect how well formed they are and I feel a similar passion for the books and films.
It’s time for the Raptor Rap!
I'm a raptor, doin' what I can
Gonna eat everything till the appearance of man.
Yo, yo, see me, I'm livin' below the soil.
I'll be back but I'm comin' as oil
I Always felt raptors more into Speed Metal LOL "Faster as a thunder, terrifyng scream, enranged and full of anger is half dino half machine"
LOL love Ms. Doubtfire.
Sakura Matou
I’m glad someone got it 👍
That's really good! 👌
Randy H lameo
I would definitely love to see more raptor behavior amongst each other
I was gonna to save this for Christmas but you made a new one
I love your videos btw
Informative and nightmare inducing, I approve.
I was Always was Suspicious about Velociraptor Behavior, I honestly thought an animal like it wouldn't Be too Protective of it's own Young.
Zion Molina logically speaking any species that would kill others of their own kind are solitary creatures and/or leave their young to fend for themselves like most serpents. Animals that depend on a pack would have some form of structure of the species would never survive. In glad they don't use that version of raptors in the movies
Crichton was painting a "lord of the flies" scenario with the raptor´s. Born without adult´s to take care for their upbringing or even an education in a functional raptor society they never evolved beyond their most basics of instincts and didn't develop a culture there they would care for their own young. in shot they stayed immature youngsters with only the worst of role models( themself) because they needed to learn how to be a "Raptor" even more then we need to learn how to be "human" or "civilised"
very well put, I would also like to add that it wasn't just that they were without a proper upbringing due to being clones; If you think back to the first novel the raptors had a functioning society. My theory about the Site - B raptors is that the older established animals had the worst symptoms of the encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) making them act psychotic or rabid. Imagine all the raptor "elders" living with severe to debilitating headaches, confusion , irritability, agitation, hallucinations, ect. The younger animals would have also had the same symptoms to a lesser degree, compounding the dysfunction of the society.
Vicious infighting amongst pack animals would depend on a relatively short life cycle and a high reproduction rate to keep the ranks filled with sexually mature adults, it would be unlikely that the animals could communicate and work effectively together as a team but instead acting as a swarm or shoal. Care of the young would be unlikely beyond raising them to the stage where they could scavenge their own food.
The ones in the films seem entirely different, pack animals with hierarchy which would be unlikely to mortally wound a pack member outside of breeding season for fear of attack by someone further up the ranks. They appear more like a pack of wolves than a shoal of piranhas and in turn it is likely that we would see lower reproduction rates, longer expected lives and nurturing for the young.
Real velociraptors were much more like birds, not bloody monsters.
The music fits perfectly here omg
man I honestly wish that you would become a director of jurassic park movies your ideas are great!!!
I absolutely loved this. I enjoy animal behavior analysis!
Great topic! The movie canon raptors have really become softer in nature with every film after the second. I loved the aggression we got with the first two films. The ones in Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World just became more like "characters". But I'd like to apply the idea of InGen/Dr.Wu creating different versions of the animals too this. The ones in the first film were blood thirsty, but had motives, while the pack from The Lost World were just savages acting out of aggression.
Both books were so scary in the way that Michael crichton described in detail the deaths and worse so the 1st person perspective of death we read what the person is thinking as the attack happens and it's scary af
Oh, loved the ominous atmosphere in the video.
The beginning is so...OMINOUS!
The music make its so much better.
Love the video
Great video, as alaways!
This kind of goes back to the Jurassic Park movies being rated R if you think about it to a certain extent. This video changed my veiw on the Raptors. It shows off how savage and dangerous the carnivores really are. Keep up the good work
One of my favorite scenes from both novels
The vids keep rolling in
If only we could get audio books for Jurassic Park & the Lost World, as read by Klayton Fioriti! 👍🏼 I love listening to your videos!
Didn't expect you to be part of Hydra...
Nice one
Great and eerie episode Klayton! It makes sense, why the cloned raptors in the first JP novel acted much violent, than the wild raptors born in the park. I guess the wild ones didn't had the DX disease.
The whole vibe of this video was creepy...I like that! More vids like this please!!
It should be noted that the raptors in the first novel seemed to be good parents, having bountiful nests and healthy offspring in the underground lair. It is possible that the raptors in the second novel didn't have parents. Born in a lab and suddenly forced to fend for themselves when the park went under, these raptors didn't know how to be raptors and had to figure it out themselves, creating a raptor version of _Lord of the Flies._ Even today animals hand raised in captivity don't always know how to care for their young because they have no experiences with being raised themselves, sometimes neglecting or even killing their young.
Though a awesome part of the comics, the raptors behavior would actually be almost counter-productive to they’re survival as a pack. If raptors just kept killing they’re young either by attacking them when irritated or by having them survive on scraps they would be “thinning-out” there own future, and maybe even as a species too if all raptor clans had the same behavior.
Awesome video man, keep up the good work on the channel!👊
The Dx disease with the prions from sheep stopped most of the dinosaurs on the island from growing to adults as said in the book. They would lay eggs as sub adults and die soon after so a raptor even being intelligent would not have received any social or learning from older raptors since they do not know or are dead. In the movies, even the first they were most likely raised together and learn in time. The big one being an early raptor would not have received much learning since this was early days. We seem in Jurassic world that Owen said that the pack is better than the indomidas since they grew together but not the rex. I would like to say I have been following this channel for several months and it's brilliant. Keep it up!😀
Interesting video
I have to say, you are gifted at story telling for sure. I kinda like the idea of Jurassic Park being a horror movie, the book actually reflects that ominous vibe as you mentioned in your previous videos. Again, as you pinpointed at, James Cameron was very likely to have directed the 1993 Jurassic Park, the movie would have resembled the relic of that time for example or Mimic from 1997. Even though a dark toned Jurassic Park may have turned out to be amazing, Steven Spielberg's version is just beyond that and extremely unique. Really, there is no movie out there besides the franchise that resembles Jurassic Park.
That was a great video.
I don't think we will get to see this kind of vicious behavior in the new movies, the raptors seem to have been altered in more ways than just their looks and don't appear to be as violent as the old Nublar or Sorna ones.
But, who knows, unpredicted mutations could happen or they could leave the crazy violence to other creatures, Indoraptors, maybe.
You deserved a like!
