14 Lies About Dinosaurs and Paleontology Movies and TV Have Told You

14 Lies About Dinosaurs and Paleontology Movies and TV Have Told You

Hollywood has a long history of disregard for scientific accuracy, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Jurassic Park franchise. Although the original movie was praised for its special effects, it was later criticized for its numerous inaccuracies. For instance, the film portrays dinosaurs as cold-blooded animals when in reality, they were probably warm-blooded. In addition, the film suggests that dinosaurs were unintelligent and sluggish when fossil evidence suggests that they were actually quite agile and intelligent. As paleontologist Robert Bakker remarked, "The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are so wrong it hurts." Sadly, Hollywood's inaccurate portrayal of these fascinating creatures is likely to continue, as filmmakers seem more interested in entertainment value than scientific accuracy.

Can you believe Hollywood would lie to us about dinosaurs? We mean… How could they? How can they be so conceited as to think that dinosaurs would need their help to be cool? Dinos are much cooler than any other thing that ever walked on this planet! Yes, even cooler than George Clooney! And it’s not just about dinosaurs, either -- just take a look at these...

A T. REX COULDN'T CHASE YOUR CAR. Recent research has shown that the mighty T. rex would break its toesies at speeds over 12 miles per hour. Just tap lightly on the gas pedal and you should remain safely uneaten. — Source: National Geographic

13

DILOPHOSAURUS WAS MUCH BIGGER THAN GREEDY COMPUTER NERDS. At 20 feet long, it was one of the largest mofos in its Jurassic neighborhood. This bad boy didn't need venom or neck frills to make you its dinner (and there's no evidence it had either). — Source: National Geographic

DINOSAURS DIDN'T ROAR® THE RULED NIRS Research suggests that dinosaurs made low, throaty sounds without opening their mouths, like many of their bird and croc relatives. So basically, dinosaurs cooed. — Source: The Washington Post

11

PALEONTOLOGISTS DON'T STUDY CAVE PEOPLE.°C Ancient humans are the province of paleoanthropology, archaeology, and other anthropological disciplines. Now, maybe if a Homo erectus had a pet saber-tooth... — Source: Grave Thoughts

10

A PTEROSAUR COULDN'T LIFT YOU OFF THE GROUND. NOT A DINOSAUR Pterosaurs weren't just big, leathery birds, and their feet weren't grabbing talons. And even if a pterosaur could grab you, you'd be too heavy to carry. — Sources: USC News, The What If Show

9

A DINOSAUR WOULDN'T BE HARMLESS JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WANT TO EAT YOU. A lion eats meat and a hippo eats plants, but you already know which one kills more people, don't you? Even cows can be dangerous if they decide they don't like you. — Sources: USC News, Heifer International

PALEONTOLOGISTS DON'T SPEND THEIR ENTIRE TIME DIGGING UP FOSSILS. Yes, field work is a big part of the job, but they also do other stuff, like teaching and curating museum collections. — Source: Sam Noble Museum

7

PALEONTOLOGISTS DON'T JUST CARE ABOUT DINOSAURS. Any animal or plant remain over 10,000 years old is fair game to paleontologists. And they don't just concern themselves with bones, either - a footprint or even a leaf are fossils too. — Source: National History Museum

6

THERE IS NO DEPARTMENT OF PALEONTOLOGY. College paleontologists are usually in the biology or geology departments. New York University, for one, lacks the department where Ross Geller allegedly teaches. — Sources: Sam Noble Museum, New York University

5

MOSASAURUS WASN'T SOME BIBLICAL LEVIATHAN It was big, but not Boeing 747-big as the personal assistant-swallowing kaiju in Jurassic World. The largest ever found was 56 feet long. — Source: Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum

DINOSAURS WEREN'T SOUNDING OFF ALL THE TIME. We can't tell for sure what dinosaurs did or didn't, but animals don't usually walk around announcing themselves to everyone who might be listening. Particularly when they're hunting. — Source: USC News

3

A SPINOSAURUS COULDN'T TAKE ON A T. REX Spinosaurus was larger, but T. rex was faster, stronger, and smarter - not to mention its fierce bite. It'd be a tough fight to be sure, but the smart money is on Rexy. — Source: Nayturr

2

VELOCIRAPTORS WEREN'T THE SIZE OF A PERSON. A velociraptor could be almost seven feet -from nose to tail. It only stood 1.6 feet at the hip, so the real danger was that it might reach up and bite your crotch. — Source: Live Science

1

T. REX'S ARMS WEREN'T EXACTLY PUNY. Those stumpy arms were still bigger than your leg, and positively jacked. We're not sure what T. rex used its guns for, but it could use them to easily kick any wrestler's butt. — Source: Popular Science
