Meanwhile JW almost reproposed the aquatic Brachiosaurs to the general public ...

At least it was part of a sequence of deleted scenes that would've given us a more complete view of the park.

They had a deleted scene with Brachiosaurus?

Actually I could've sworn it was labelled Diplodocus in the storyboard.

Most likely it would have been used to hold onto prey better. I think

There were some deleted scenes showing more of the park's attractions. Pachycephalosaurus arena, T-rex chase (basically Gallimimus in rexy's exhibit and see how many make it to the other end), more marine reptiles (including a fish-like Ichthyosaur), pterosaur aviary, Microceratops, hadrosaur herds and this huge underwater viewing area for guests to watch Brachiosaurs feed on underwater foliage.

CI: the Diplodocus were the ones shown in the herbivore herds scene (not sure if they were replaced by Apato or if they were both supposed to be in there), those in the water I'm pretty sure were Brachiosaurs.

Thanks for the correction.

Ok. Some of these scenes would be nice in the movie, but not the Brachiosaurus because it was an land animal and the the t.rex chase ( wouldn't cloned dinosaurs too expensive to put them in T.rex exhibit? )

Off topic: Anyone else excited to see Jurassic world return to theaters?

On topic: During the great American interchange many species wondered between the Americas. We're there any mammoth or mastodons in South America? I remember reading that there were 2 but I'm not sure they were listed as, The South American Imperial Mammoth, and Southern Wooly Mammoth.

No more than a Great White Shark I think, considering we are talking about Gallimimus and not a slow growth giant. And trust me, that Ichthyosaur was horrible too.

EDIT: this was in reply to Luca9108.

I would be but I've already seen it 4 times, I'm perfectly content with waiting for the DVD release.

it is possible that they had more hair than Homo sapiens, but I think a creature which is able to build spears is also able to make clothes. BTW a big nose is helpful in an cold environment: saigas have long noses and live in an cold environment

I think a long nose would possibly freeze off faster than a nose which is deeper in the Head
Noses are one of few parts of the outer body that do not shrink in cold environments to restrict heat loss.
Besides, Saiga noses are like that to warm (or cool, depending on season) the air that they breathe because it travels over such a large surface area of worm nose.

It certainly wouldn't "freeze off" or Neanderthals and Saigas would not have large noses.

Columbian mammoths only reached the Northern tip of South America while the American mastodon was found up to South Mexico IIRC.

The most likely reason was due to the Andes and the Amazonian jungle standed in the way.. On the other hand the gomphoteres Cuvierornius (I spelled thar wrong for sure) and Stegomastodon/Notiomastodon did make it to South America and survive long after becaming extinct on the North until the start of the Hollocene.
