Most of those posts seem logic, only very few of them are silly, and quickly corrected by people. Weird how no one mentions skinny bipedal hadrosaurs, naked Dinos and Brachio rearing up. |

Well most of them are probably fanboys, so they don't see feathered dinosaurs as inaccurate.

There were basically two camps in that thread: 1. Dinosaurs are scaly super-beasts of incredible intellect, and jurassic park was super accurate. 2. Dinosaurs were feathered or plucked, dumb as hell, evolutionary failures. The majority of people fell into camp 2., which is, in my opinion, worse than camp 1., especially since they insulted birds. |

opening doors is not hard to do anyway, hardly takes an "animal genius" |

Depends on what you qualify is "genius". It is more the act of the animals learning to associate the door knob with the act of opening it, and the correct sequence of events. That said, many, many, animals are able to do this. The only reason it seemed impressive to people in jurassic park is that they underestimate the intelligence of most animals. |

Didn't the raptors also open a Door with a Door Handle? Many animals can do that if they jump ontop of it and are heavy enough to pull it down. Now a DoorKNOB would be impressive. |

Actually, there is even a report of an albino Burmese Python learns how to open the door. It's not the door with knob though.
