Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Today we are switching gears from our usual content to geek out a little about dinosaurs!
Because not only is Chris Pratt my very real, not fake at all husband, but the movie Jurassic
World Fallen Kingdom is coming out in the US in just a few days, so we are sure to see
some familiar reptilian faces on the big screen soon.
AND extra fun fact, thereÕs going to be a 3rd in 2021.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 JURASSIC WORLD DINOS.
In the number 10 spot, IS DIMORPHODON.
The only reason these guys are so low on the list is that they were criminally underutilized.
The dimorphodon kinda looks as if two other of the creatures later on our list got together
and decided to have a kid.
ItÕs considered unique from other pterosaurs because itÕs got two types of teeth like
mammals, hence the name meaning two-form tooth.
In the Jurassic world, they were modified to be better flyers than their clone material,
because of thatÕs really what we need.
A winged t-rex type creature that can move better.
Yeah, consider lesson not learned.
Next, at number 9, WE HAVE THE STEGOSAURUS.
The stego is one of the most recognizable dinos out there, thanks to land before time.
Please tell me you guys have seen those movies.
They are also known as some of the dumbest dinos out there; initially, their brain was
thought to be the size of a walnut, but scans revealed itÕs more like the size of a newborn
cat.
Well, dumb makes for a good member of the gentle giants petting zoo, but I still wouldnÕt
advise pissing one-off; youÕve all seen that stampeding by now.
Coming in at number 8, IS THE ANKYLOSAURUS.
Although these guys are also herbivores, they were depicted as much more capable of taking
care of themselves, clad in their armored scales and clubbed tails.
The clones made by InGen even had an extra layer of protection in the form of spikes
protruding from their sides, unlike their source material.
Oddly enough in the Jurassic world, these guys were pretty fast, which goes against
their body type and build; also if they were fast enough nature would not have gifted them
with such heavy defenses.
But screw science, we donÕt need it!
In the number 7 spot IS THE APATOSAURUS.
One of the few herbivores that were brought back for Jurassic World, these guys are easily
recognizable from their long necks and ginormous bodiesÑthey would have to eat plants constantly
to sustain this mass.
Hope they donÕt discover the joys of meat.
They actually made quite an impression in the movie with the whole dying-dino and comforting-human
scene.
Yes, dinosaurs do have feelings!
Those eyes had life in them, man.
Up at number 6, WE GOT THE PTERANODON.
You will remember these guys best from the swarm that fell upon the unassuming park guests
and made blood rain down all around.
Ahh, good times.
The Pteranodon is usually a fish eater, but when youÕve been held in captivity with not
the freshest of meals, those squirming warm bodies look pretty tasty.
They are bigger than the dimorphodons too, with wingspans the size of a typical school
bus.
All the better to carry you off with.
Coming in at number 5, WE HAVE the triceratops.
We donÕt get to see a lot of this herbivore, but it is one of my favorite kinds of dinos
because it may not kill for food, but it doesnÕt takes crap and 10/10 I would ride into battle
on.
The ones made for the park also had a particular affinity for being scratched beneath their
frills, isnÕt that cute.
The young ones were even used for so-called pony rides, while the adults got to roam the
gyrosphere.
See, do ya even need killer carnivores to make your park fun??
Next up, at number 4, IS THE MOSASAURUS.
This bad boy is an aquatic dino, so he wasnÕt going to cause any trouble unless he got into
the ocean.
Which of course he has now.
We didnÕt get to see this guy early on, which was nice; maintaining that air of mystery
made the ending so much more satisfying.
This guy ended up being the hero the park deserves, but not the one it needs.
No, scratch that, it kinda needed him or they were royally doomed.
But itÕs a little scary to think that itÕs managed to escape into the ocean.
ThatÕs like Jaws tenfold.
A hundredfold.
Up next at number 3 is THE INDOMINUS REX.
The Indominus was created by pulling together DNA from all sorts of dinos, most of them
classified to up the scare factor.
It also had frog DNA, which allowed it to monitor its body temperature and even witch
genders.
And it was smart.
And it had lots of teeth.
This thing was essentially the Mary Sue of dinosaurs, which is the only reason it is
here at instead of at the top.
Yes, it was a formidable foe that destroyed everything in its path, but at the end of
the day it was artificial and just a titch too perfect.
In the number 2 spot, WE GOT THE VELOCIRAPTOR.
Some of the real stars of the film were Blue and her raptor squad.
These were the only animals to really develop a bond with humans, no matter how tenuous.
I know itÕs not realistic to want to see more human-dino partnerships, but neither
is a movie about dinosaurs brought back from the dead.
Anyway, what makes these guys special is that despite their stature, theyÕre really the
only dinosaurs in the movies with individual personalities.
And you just know weÕre going to see a lot of that personality in the upcoming film.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, is THE TYRANNOSAURUS REX.
Of course, how could anyone else be up here but the good old-fashioned T-rex?
He didnÕt gets as much screen time this time around but it served well to keep him in the
image of the untouchable king.
He was even used to take on the Indominus Rex when everyone realized they needed more
teeth.
Of course, before the Raptors jumped in, those tiny arms couldnÕt quite compete with the
indominusÕ perfect body conformation.
So those were the top 10 JURASSIC DINOS.
