Jurassic World in real life? Video of realistic-looking Triceratops goes viral in Indonesia

With 2020 being such a chaotic year, we'd think that things can't get any more bizarre than they already are. However, this viral video of a realistic-looking dinosaur has proven us wrong.

In a 30-second clip circulating on Twitter this week, The video comes with the caption "Alhamdulillah piaraan baru udah nyampe", which translates to "Praise God, the new pet has arrived".

While the Triceratops looks unnervingly realistic, it is actually a very elaborate costume that was done up for Mojosemi Forest Park's promotional holiday video, and hidden underneath the dinosaur were a bunch of park employees, Indonesian media reported.

The outdoor recreational park in East Java has a dinosaur zone where visitors can pose for photos with a T-Rex or Brachiosauruses.

A visitor had apparently managed to take a quick video of the creature before leaking it online, the park's deputy commissioner said.

However, some netizens suspect that the clip had been purposely released as part of an advertising campaign.

A day after the footage went viral, the park itself released a three-minute video of the Triceratops on its social media accounts.

Amused netizens tweeted in response to the clip, with one asking: "Did the dinosaur in Jurassic World run away to Indonesia?"

Others are disappointed that the dinosaur isn't real, as one tweeted: "Apparently this wasn't real lol though I'd be happy if real dinosaurs were still alive and existing".

Glad the caption didn’t say “ClipToe Baracka The Clap”.

Hunter “bagged” a stripper. Is that close enough?

I remember that picture. The hunter is Steven Spielberg. Fooled a lot of idiots.

That’s a pretty good way to sum it up.

Same goes with the pic of the guy that bagged one, which is obviously a photoshop creation. Nonetheless, the low IQ’ers likely believe it.

The guy that bagged one is Steven Speilberg and that “one” is a movie prop from Jurrasic Park.

“Same goes with the pic of the guy that bagged one, which is obviously a photoshop creation. “

That’s Steven Spielberg. He’s the director of Jurassic Park.
