    The science also went wrong a lil bit. The Dinos weren’t supposed to be able to breed being all females; but they used frog DNA so some the dinos ended up turning into males and began breeding.

    Seems like the “dire wolf” and “wooly mammoth” thing happened even in fiction; they weren’t actually dinosaurs. They were frogs that looked like dinosaurs.

      It never would have happened if they just had stronger laws preventing the dinos from having easy access to gender affirming care.

      strange they dint use bird eggs, or reptiles, as amphibians are pretty far removed from a dinosaur , distantly related.

        In the books, and movie iirc, they used DNA from all three, not just frogs, to replace missing segments of the dino DNA.

        It was just that Dr.Grant guessed at it being amphibian DNA that had the unintentional side effect of allowing some of the dinos to change sex (which is a thing called sequential hermaphroditism) when he finds the velociraptor eggs.

      You are under the assumption the scientists listened to the bean counters. I on the otherhand think it’s more likely that any (mad) scientist who could make dinofrogs via genetic manipulation would intentionally splice the ability to self-transition into their creation.

      “Demand I make my dinofrogs infertile will you!? I’ll show you… I’ll show all of you!!!”
