you kidding, I complain and go on about them all the time

also, lol at baryonyx weighing 1.7 KG xD
Oh come on, don't deny it. You always say the JP raptors look good.
Also I do not think this was meant to be accurate anyways. After all Jurassic Park animals are all frogs

Oh come on none of you complain about JP raptors, this is a JP Baryonyx.
It's not a JP Baryonyx, it's fanart and unofficial. There is currently no known pictures of the JP Baryonyx.
Could the Toys be considered Canon, or the Baryonyx in JPB?

Show me one post where you said anything truly bad about JP raptors other then the regular lack of feathers and broken wrists

other than those and the size there is nothing to complain about
but all of those are fairly serious issues

Honestly, I don't mind pronated hands too much, but that's probably because broken wrists is a very mild mistake compared to the other stuff I've seen people do.

Even retrosaurs are considered ground breaking by peter's standards. But one must give him some credit for his creativity.

some of his reconstructions are pretty good, just some are incredibly screwed up and these are the ones that get spread around

I think the picture is the concept art of some JPOG modellers (check it out around here somewhere... on JP Legacy JPOG subforum)... The Baryonyx has a sail cos model modification at the time is limited to that level before it becomes buggy

As for my irk of the day: why are there no konservat-laegerstatte from the latter Cretaceous? How much we could know about latter Cretaceous fauna if they are there...

Not really. That is the expanded universe, not canon. Canon would be, in order: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park: The Game, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, and any future sequels.

People who think that prehistoric animals are somehow infinitely more dangerous than living ones, and panic at the idea of them being brought back from extinction.

I really hate it when people imagine prehistory as a place where they could say"OMFG IS DAT A WHALE SIZED BUTTERFLY; YAY!" Really most people think that everything was whale sized

Oh my god, that annoys me so much! It gets to the point where when a normal-sized bug shows up in a dinosaur movie, there are people I know who will complain that there weren't normal-sized bugs back then. WTF?? Even in the swamps of the Carboniferous, which are well-known for their mega-sized arthropods, normal-sized ones still friggin' existed! I know a good number of insectivorous animals that would starve if every arthropod in prehistory was elephant-sized.

carboniferous insects were at most about dog sized (in mass I mean, obviously some are longer)
larger arthropods did exist (and still do in fact) but they are aquatic
