A Parasaurolophus is one of the cloned hadrosaurs native to Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna.

Biology[]

They were created by scientists in the compound located in Isla Sorna, where they spent their early lives raised by workers. The clones resembled the species Parasaurolophus walkeri but were shorter than their real counterparts. They appear to have three different skin colors including: beige, bright yellow, and beige green. Their crest color may vary including black, dark grey, or purple. They have appeared in almost minor appearances in the film.

At least some Parasaurolophus in Isla Nublar exhibited bioluminescence, possibly due to feeding on bioluminescent algae.

The remaining Parasaurolophus rescued from Isla Nublar are now released into the wild by Maisie Lockwood continued to roam North America freely.

Notes[]

  • The design of the parasaurolophus was based on references from ducks (on its mouth) and deers (on its eyes to make the dinosaur seem docile and quiet).
