Realistic dinosaurs
[edit]Dinosaurs in science are normally depicted with feathering and scientists might even know what colors dinosaurs were[1]. While most people agree with the feathered dinosaur theory, we don't really know what dinosaurs look like. Some think they were feathered, and some thought they had lots of muscle and fat[2]. In Jurassic Park (1993), dinosaurs were depicted as large, featherless monsters. In the novel that inspired the movies, dinosaurs were depicted, again, as large bloodthirsty featherless reptiles. The following movies were similar, with feathers not appearing until Jurassic Park III (2001).
Evolution of dinosaur reconstructions
[edit]Early 1800's
[edit]The first dinosaur discovered was Megalosaurus, discovered in 1824[3]. It was depicted as crocodile-like with long legs and tail. Then, it was decided that most dinosaurs were part of Megalosaurus for about 60-70 years. Then those dinosaurs were given their own genera.
