I totally agree with you. And fot the dromaeosaur,
I'd choose _Utahraptor_... The _big_ guy!!
And if they _really_ want genius dromaeosaurs, they
have to tell that an error in genetic reconstruction made them too intelligent,
or something like that. Since it's sci-fi, it's alright for me, if they don't
say that the _real_ dromaeosaur was as intelligent as it appears in the
film.
And what about the drop of the _Pteranodon_ for an
ornithocheirid?
For the false informations... I'm sometimes afraid
professionnal paleontologists _always_ have to correct the same mistakes
made by some of their students in university.

Subject: Making JP4-if Spielberg asks you
to be a consultant
What changes would you absolutely insist on if you (any of you)
were called upon to be the new dinosaur consultant for the next Jurassic Park
movie? More accurate physical models? More believable behavior patterns and
mental capabilities? For example, would you insist that the JP Raptors be
dropped in favor of a pack of feathery _Deinonychus_?
How big of an impact on public education would such changes have? Many
people have cited the JP series as having misinformed the public about
dinosaurs; correcting the errors might do more to reverse that damage than any
number of person-to-person explanations of why the Pteranodons in JP3 were
inaccurate...
