retain on to your stern ! After a 13 - twelvemonth hiatus , theJurassic Parkseries will last come roar back into dramatics June 2015 . The fresh flick ’s first prescribed trailer debuted today ; here ’s a abbreviated introduction to the prehistorical critters it anticipate .
1.Gallimimus(0:45-0:46)
Wikimedia Commons
inhabit : Roughly 73 million yr ago ( lateCretaceous menstruation )
mountain range : Mongolia
dieting : Probable omnivore ( mayhap with a prejudice toward flora )
Maximum Length : Approximately 26 feet ( 8 meter )
Name Means:“Chicken mimic ”
AJPveteran , Gallimimuscan be seen racing through the first two films . This leggy creature belongs to a group of ostrich - like dinosknown asornithomimids , which once frolicked through present - twenty-four hours Asia and North America . Gallimimus’jaws were both toothless and , in some place , only a few millimeters boneheaded , so the creature may have swallow tiny rockscalledgastroliths to aid better down un - chewed food inside its abdomen .
Unfortunately , Jurassic World ’s trailer does make one big mistake ( scientifically ) with itsGallimimusflock . Take a peep at their hand . You may acknowledge that the beast ’ ribbon are turned upwards as they melt down . In real life , these palms would have been facing each other in a “ clapping ” attitude similar to that used bymodern skirt .
2. Stegosaurus(0:47-0:49)
Lived : rough 150 million years ago ( recent Jurassic stop )
Range : Western North America
dieting : Herbivore
Maximum Length : some 30 groundwork ( 9 meters )
Name Means:“Roof lizard ”
Beloved the world over for those dramatic back plate and spiky tail , Stegosaurusalso featured strand mail - esque pharynx scale leaf , presumablyto hold its jugular . Oddly , the animals ’ hind legs were importantly long than its front ones , leading some expert to suggest thatStegosaurusmay have nurture up to snag low - hanging Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree limb . By the way , this dino ’s spike were meant for business concern : a hole which dead matches the gratuity of onewas foundin the fossilized back of an unlucky , flesh - eatingAllosaurus . Yikes !
3.Apatosaurus(0:47-0:49, 0:51-0:58)
Lived : Roughly 150 million years ago ( lateJurassic time period )
Diet : Herbivore ; for more details , gohere .
Maximum Length : Approximately 80 foot ( 24 meters )
Name Means:“Deceptive lizard ”
Back in April , a leakedJurassic Worldbrochure hinted thatApatosaurusmight score somescreen metre . Thanks to a scientificscrew - up , this large fellow ’s best known for indirectly nullifying the name Brontosaurus , which had been given to a dinosaur that later flex out to actually have been anApatosaurusspecies . An American sauropod dinosaur , or long - necked dinosaur , Apatosaurusis notable for its bulky frame and uncanny neck anatomy ( abnormally - heavy “ cervical rib ” are anchor to its vertebrae , giving them strange , exaggerated shapes that’veconfusedmany a scientist ) .
4.Mosasaurus(1:06-1:10)
live : Roughly 66 - 70 million years ago ( late Cretaceous period )
grasp : Western Europe
Maximum Length : some 56 feet ( 17 beat ) .
Diet : Carnivore
Name Means:“Meuse lounge lizard ” ( after the Meuse river of northerly Europe , where its remains were first get wind ) .
Unlike the other beasties in this preview , Mosasauruswasn’t a dinosaur at all but instead a near relative of today ’s Snake and supervise lizards ( it may have even had a forked knife ) . Ocean - move mosasaurs had flexible , serpent - like jaws and — like overgrown python — most species probably would have had to accept their quarry item whole ( or at least in supersized chunks ) . Recent years have been good to mosasaur palaeontology ; we now know , for deterrent example , that these amazing vulture had shark - styletail fluke .
And speaking of sharks , go back and restart the video at 1:06.Jurassic World ’s customers clearly savor seeing the resident mosasaur devouring great whites , but the fossil record picture that some prehistoric sharks were capable of call on the tables and feeding onthese reptile . peradventure we ’ll see a scrap ; cross your fingers !
5.Velociraptor(Sort of) (2:21-2:25)
Lived : Roughly 71 - 75 million yr ago ( former Cretaceous geological period )
Maximum Length : just about 6.5 infantry ( 2 meter )
Name Means:“Swift robber ”
The so - calledVelociraptorsin all fourJurassic Parkmovies in reality calculate almost nothing like the genuine clause . In fact , they were based on a related to dino cognize asDeinonychus , which was appreciably big but still lessen a bit short ofJP ’s raptors dimension - wise .
Velociraptordoesn’t need Hollywood ’s assistance to be interesting . The carnivore definitely did n’t fly , yet its upper arm bones come with “ quill knobs”—anchoring channelise onto which hefty feathers arerootedin modernistic birds . Its ass containedbony rodsthat could have stiffen the member into a ready to hand counterbalancing tool for making narrow turns .
And late research indicate that , perverse to what Steven Spielberg might have you consider , those dreaded reaping hook - shaped claws were built not for slashing but for gripping . Theoretically , a hungryVelociraptorwould leap onto its victim , bury those figure , andhang onfor a mortal rodeo . Now there ’s a cinematic image for ya !
BONUS: Random, Genetically-Modified, Man-Eating Hybrid (-asaurus)
Yeah , Jurassic World ’s plot includes a make - new dino - colossus with spliced DNA and aserious mental attitude . What DNA will this dino have ? We ’ll just have to wait for the moving-picture show to find out .
