Jurassic World was followed by a sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in 2018. Though they failed to capture the magic of the first film, the sequels were quite successful in their own right, and as a result, the story continued with the introduction of Jurassic World in 2015. It was followed by two sequels, The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997 and Jurassic Park III in 2001. The film is still considered one of the greatest movies of the 1990s. Steven Spielberg’s film Jurassic Park, based on the novel of the same name written by Michael Crichton, took the world by storm when it was first released in 1993. These films are the reason why there are so many dino-lovers among us today, and the franchise is still alive and well, much like the fictional beasts who were cloned back to life. Journal reference: Naturwissenschaften (DOI: 10.The Jurassic Park movies are responsible for a big chunk of our memories about the magnificent, gigantic, and rampaging prehistoric monsters known more scientifically as dinosaurs. Palaeontologists had thought it likely there would be big ones in the region because small ones already existed there, and the large Utahraptor – which roamed North America at this time – was probably descended from raptors that evolved in China. The prints are the first evidence of larger dromeosaurs at that time in Asia. The track-makers would have weighed about as much as a large cougar or jaguar – approximately 90 kilograms (200 pounds).

The shape identifies the track-makers as dromeosaurs, and the imprint size indicates the dinosaurs stood about 1.2 metres tall at the hip – “almost as big as Utahraptor”, says Peter Makovicky of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, also involved in the work. Each track shows two long toes, but only a stub of the toe bearing the long claw, indicating the animal held the claw off the ground. The tracks are 28 centimetres long and 12 cm wide. The team has named the tracks Dromaeopodus shandongensis after the province in which they were found.

“This strongly indicates that the track makers were there at the same time – moving as a group,” he says.
