they both lived in the same places, it would make sense..

Remember that there are only 15 species that were created and known by the Jurassic Park Staff. A creature like Troodon could have left into the field but a fish would be difficult to run into the forest. Also notice that the animal symbols near the computer monitors have the Mosasaur skull but not Xiphactinus.

yea i see what your saying im just wondering if the xiphactinus was contemporary to the mosasaur exhibit like the parasarolophus were to the brachiosaur paddock, but im guessing its unknown, like you said it would have been on a
list or map

Remember that Jurassic Park only has 15 species on exhibit. I will let TellTall slide with the Troodons not being in an exhibit because a Troodon could escape but a 20ft fish couldn't run through the woods.

My original comment didn't show up so I made it again.

Isn't there any lakes on the island?

Because an isolated lake would be the ideal spot.

if you look under the "dinosaurs of jurassic park night hunter thread, there is an isla nublar map from the movie, and in the north east portion there is a rather large inland lake cut off from the sea, im guessing that its the location for the jurassic park aquarium facility

The ideal spot would be an artificial lake so that you know just what is in the lake, remember that a zoo wouldn't just put an animal in a lake and put the exhibit around it.

Tetsu Aero · 07/27/2011, 04:00 am

Yeah an artificial lake would be the best. But that lake in the north west corner of the island would do pretty good since there's mountains or hills around it. The only two Dinosaurs near it are the Velociraptor pen, and what i guess is a Herrerasaur pen as well. So it seems like the best spot for another cage. And it would be the grandstop of a walking tour. With perhaps the nighthunter dino on the way between the Mosasaur and the Herrerasaur.

The nighthunters are Troodons and they are not on the tour

Tetsu Aero · 07/27/2011, 06:22 am

What i ment is, that whatever secret pen or facility they escaped from would be there. In case they ever decided to introduce it to the tour, like the Mosasaur.

well yea, what would their purpose be? a pack of biological garbage desposals? i mean why clone a species, put it in a zoo and not display it.. its like the troodon is on the resort facility/zoo and not on display..why on earth is that?

Tetsu Aero · 07/27/2011, 07:11 am

Plenty of reasons.

A: Facility is being used as a testing ground for new Dinos. So they were testing to see if the Troodons responded well to the environment. If it didn't it would die out by itself or be put down.
B: They were made there in secret for unknown evil corporate purposes.

You just described Compsognathus. They are biological garbage disposals. And they're really not featured on the tour.

yea but what do you think troodons purpose is? a biosyn sabotage of some kind?

Biosynthesis isn't that stupid. The Troodons were probably being tested, Ingen created hundreds of animals to insure that the small percentage would live. It is likely that there were 15 species were on the tour and "officially" completed DNA. Other species would be made on Isla Sorna but probably designed on Jurassic Park.

This could also show why Doctor Harding didn't know about the animals since the animals would not have been official, I'm guessing that the Troodons Escaped into the park and began to breed.

SWGNATE · 07/29/2011, 09:02 am

yea, the mosasaur and xiphactinus make me think its a western interior sea exhibit, troodons definetly confuse me at this point

FPug · 07/29/2011, 11:27 am

In an interview I think they talked about Tylosaurus AND Plesiosaur.

The interviewee was probably just saying that the marine reptile is similar. Tylosaurus and Pliosaur have very similar shapes but they lived in different times.Tylosaurus, a variety of Mosasaur, lived in the Cretaceous and had a convergent evolutionary form to Pliosaur which lived in the Jurassic. Plesiosaur has the long neck. Besides, I wouldn't take anything for truth until it is made official or it is obvious. The Troodons are obvious, the Mosasaur is official.
