However, all of these lizards have large, complex hyoid bones, to support the frill. Dilophosaurus does not have this. <br /><br />As for the spitting poison, an angular jaw does not mean the animal spat poison. Spitting cobras are able to do it because of the way their fangs are built. Dilophosaurs did not have these kinds of teeth.<br /><br />Secondly, where did you hear about the "venefer" specimen. Was it in Prehistoric Times? Because I seem to remember the author of the Dilophosaurus article doing a fake abstract of a "new" Dilophosaurus specimen based on the fictional Jurassic Park one.<br /><br />"MAYBE, THEY GOT THE IDEA FROM JURASSIC PARK AND IT WAS INTENDED THAT WAY..."<br /><br />That is the entire point I am trying to make, that every representation of Dilophosaurus in pop culture (except one or two), is the frilled, spitting Jurassic Park version. I wouldn't mind so much if some real Dilophosauruses were interspersed in there, but the fact that a fictional representation is actually better known than the real thing can be rather irritating.<br /><br />However, I do see your point about the "baby" hypothesis.<br /><br />If they had handwaved the spitting behavior and frill of the Dilophosaurus in the movie as being the above, I probably would have excepted it. But instead they went out of their way to say thats really how alike to the originals the dinosaurs were. Crichton had an excuse for the poison spitting, but Spielberg had no excuse for the spitting or the frill.Metalraptorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053007518293924808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938713220377547711.post-35500206844709417712009-07-05T10:20:29.826-07:002009-07-05T10:20:29.826-07:00Don't take it personally.

It was a DNA side effect to replace dilophosaurus' absence for frog DNA. So they used a possible animal like a frilled lizard DNA. And some cobra DNA, for spitting.<br /><br />Despite Screature's copied appearance, he is still a cool toy and I think it is awesome that they follow Jurassic Park. JP Dilophosauruses are AWESOME. Personaly, I like them better than the original.<br /><br />The reason why it was the size of a dog is because it was a 7 month old baby. That is why it waited and watch Dennis Nedry (Fat guy) because he was confused or was waiting for the right momment.<br /><br />And why do you have to make such a big deal about it? "The MADNESS continues"? MAYBE, THEY GOT THE IDEA FROM JURASSIC PARK AND IT WAS INTENDED THAT WAY...I mean you should REALLY look at what is going here...<br /><br />ONE: We don't know for sure about dilophosaurus, and you can't tell if they had a frill from their mussels. Dilophosaurus had a VERY weak jaw, and it was small too, for his body size. Dilophosaurus wetherelli "Venefer" had a radius-angled jaw, so it could expand its mouth greatly. Dilophosaurus had thick 'neck bones' which are strong enough to hold, oh, say, a 20 pound RETRACTABLE FRILL. In fact, on the 1st dilophosaurus skeleton discovered, there were these long, feather-like scars, kinda looking like FRILLS. But however, there are many rumors today that fossilized plant material was buried over it while it died, or perhaps fossilized feathers.<br /><br />TWO: What's the point of making a big deal about something that is probably not true? People chase things that aren't proven ALL THE TIME. Until proven wrong or right. That IS how the world works, my friend...Zachary Hawkins, Paleontoligest and Professional Animator.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938713220377547711.post-65191081373349831382009-03-05T08:44:00.000-08:002009-03-05T08:44:00.000-08:00I've gotta see a dilophosaurus play an electric gu...I've gotta see a dilophosaurus play an electric guitar!
