So how is this not admitting that up until now they had just been making it all up?

I just saw the new Jurassic Park movie tonight. They left it with 11+ dinosaur species freshly released on the mainland in a small town forested area. I am going to have such fun figuring out what they will do next with this story. Goldblum was last seen lecturing Congress and the danger of stupidity where dangerous life forms was concerned and man’s meddling in natural events like extinction. The snake was not 65M, but over 100M in age, and was referred to as a neonate, or newly born snake.

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake... He’s old, and his skin is cold

Well, tree resin could drip from on high and land on a snake nest that had been exposed by another varmint.

That would feed the village for a week or two. Wonder why they don’t?

A few years ago there was a TV “Survivor” episode where the contestants were surviving on a large island with lots of snakes. Every time I saw the poor hungry contestants near a big juicy snake, I was saying, “For crying out loud, kill one and have a nice juicy protein rich dinner and help win the contest for your team.”

I saw your creative take on how 3 bodies got into the Egyptian “coffin.” So now I hope to see your ideas on the next Jurassic World movie with 11+ dinosaur species freshly released on the US mainland in a forested area next to a small town. What fun.
