The specimens on Isla Sorna were left to live on their own.

Though, as we know, the park failed, and all specimens on Isla Nublar were killed in the subsequent bombings. Within the Jurassic Park universe In the novelsĭilophosaurus was cloned by InGen on Isla Sorna for Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar. Because of its posession of deadly venom in the Jurassic Park franchise, some fans have replaced this iteration of the anima’s species name with “venenifer” as a tribute to Crichton’s creative portrayal of the dinosaur. One of the reasons this dinosaur is so recognizable is because of the Jurassic Park franchise, so we have Spielberg to thank for showing the world this wonderful creature (even if a few creative liberties were taken in its portrayal). This notch probably existed because of the weak connection between the premaxillary and maxillary bones in the skull. It also had a notch in its snout typically seen in spinosaurids, although Dilophosaurus is an unclassified neotheropod. Dilophosaurus’ distinguishing feature was that of two crests on the top of its skull, for which it was named. It was also a much larger animal than portrayed in the film, reaching lengths of around 20 feet. One of the earliest theropod dinosaurs, Dilophosaurus’ likeness is known and loved by all. Although we love Jurassic Park’s portrayal of Dilophosaurus, it did not have an extendable neck frill in life, or spit venom. One of the most iconic dinosaur depictions in history, it’s Dilophosaurus wetherilli.
