CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-28-2013 2:16 PMI thought of this a while back, I have an idea about the Jurassic Park velociraptors
This is the first raptor

This is the second raptor

This is the third raptor

I think they're evolving, becoming more birdlike after having frog DNA put in them, making them more like the frog. They also got smarter as the movies went by. With their speeded up growth, it doesn't take as long for them to evolve. This is just my thought to end that question.Hi

CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-28-2013 3:28 PMInteresting thought. It's certainly possible that they were adapting/evolving. "Men like me don't start the wars. We just die in them. We've always died in them, and we always will. We don't expect any praise for it, no parades. No one knows our names."

CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-29-2013 2:17 AMThey were aiming to make them scary not look like they evolved..
(Please note this, the raptors in jp 3 with the feathers were male and the white alpha was the female...)
In my sense, the raptors all started the same green creatures, but in five years they adapted, they changed to orange, (generation 6), and I guess jurassic park 3 was 5 years after that..., that would make for generation 11 , they've camouflaged much better, and have became more intelligent the previous generations,
Since it will be around 22 years after generation 1 , generation 23 will have evolved much more since we're on site a, anything could've happened to them, they could've evolved much differently then the site b raptors....
We're going to get one heck of a bombshell for jurassic park 4, with there being no feathers in jurassic park 4, ( not sure if Colin's cutting the raptor head feathers as well) were going to receive something highly unexpected Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

CompsognathusMember0 XPJun-30-2013 2:31 PMI wonder if the raptor Tim locked in the freezer ever got out. Maybe, we will see a small coloney of the traditional raptors in the fourth film. And maybe they fight the jp 3 raptors. Plus, it might only be a few years since jp 3 for the fourth jurassic park to happen.Hi
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-01-2013 2:17 AMx_paden_x,
I'm not sure you fully appreciate the way that evolution works if you think that within 23 generations we'd see substantial changes in appearance in a population of raptors.
I think the male/female angle makes the most sense for explaining the quills. All the animals we saw in JP1 were female (or else were at least born female). If all the raptors we saw in JP2 were also female, this would explain the differences when we finally see the raptors in JP3.
My guess as to the coloration would be that different samples (batches, so to speak) of DNA may have produced different results and they were kept separate (to keep the animals looking homogeneous for the park). Coloration simply wouldn't change so rapidly in any natural evolution.
If what we see in JP3 is the result of population mixing (assuming there are at least two populations, each with different coloring), that could explain the third population in a more natural way - or it could simply also be the result of a different DNA batch.Keegan
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-01-2013 9:08 AMIngen had the raptor's life speeded up greatly, and they were super intelligent, I think evolution could occur in that time, but the biggest change was the brain and color. There was a slight change in the jaw too. And I think they the raptors from tlw were both male and female.Hi
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-02-2013 1:44 PMSpeeding up an individuals lifecycle doesn't speed up the relative rate of mutation. Ingen would want these animals under control - in other words they would want few to no mutations between generations.
If anything the mutation rate between generations would be slowed down. It doesn't matter how short the creatures lifespan is. 23 generations is simply not enough to create such marked physical changes.
These had to be three separate populations of raptors. Which implies three sts of DNA - which makes sense and explains the varying appearances. Keegan
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-02-2013 3:53 PMRemember, the Isla nublar raptors came from site b, ingen wouldn't want the raptors to look different, they wouldn't bring them to the park, and therefore waste money. Ingen wouldn't do that, they would make one batch, and duplicate it to make the same looking raptors.Hi
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-04-2013 4:29 AMWhy is that? Lots of animals in captivity in zoos have a multitude of appearances. It's good to help guests tell individuals apart. There's no good reason why InGen would be against having several colourations of Raptors.Keegan
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-04-2013 5:00 AMYa, but how does that explain the jp 3 raptors are smarter. Frankly, if I were ingen, I wouldn't want raptors that look different in the park. And also, how can you explain that there are no jp raptors in jp 2 or 3, they came from site b to. Plus the fact that the snout of the jp 3 raptors are different from the first two.
Ps. Why are you here at 3 in the morning.Hi
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-04-2013 3:12 PM1) Why do you think the JP3 raptors are smarter? I think the implication is that the raptors from JP were equally smart.
2) Okay, well it's your [i]subjective opinion[/i] that you wouldn't want multiple colourations of Raptors - but that can't be taken as solid evidence that InGen might not. (I think we can all agree the [i]real[/i] reason the Raptors look different is that the Producers of each film wanted something fresh and exciting).
3) An easy explanation for why we don't see any JP raptors in JP2 or 3 is that there are multiple populations of raptors living on the island and we just never happened across that group. Another possibility is that those were InGen's favourite result and so they were taken to the park while the other, less nice-looking ones (in their minds) were kept at Site B.
4) I live in a different time zone than you.Keegan
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-04-2013 5:12 PMThe jp 3 raptors are smarter because as Billy said, "They set a trap," they toyed with emotions and used bait. The other raptors just opened doors. There were only eight raptors in Jurassic Park, ingen must have bred more than eight raptors if you say they are in "batches". You still haven't answered my question about the snout though.Hi
CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-04-2013 6:21 PMiGen is crazy and breeds dinosaurs that kill people, yes we're all very lucky. Now, can we move on? haha"Men like me don't start the wars. We just die in them. We've always died in them, and we always will. We don't expect any praise for it, no parades. No one knows our names."

CompsognathusMember0 XPJul-05-2013 9:18 AMWell, wouldn't you breed dinosaurs that kill people? Slaughter by dino is fun. But not when the dino gets hurt.Hi
