Meet JURASSIC WORLD’s Made-Up Dinosaur
Somehow ScreenCrush found info about Jurassic World's super dinosaur on the website for the film (I say somehow because I couldn't, but I'm at Sundance and barely able to form coherent sentences, so maybe you guys will have better luck if you click here). It's called the Indominus Rex, and it's a genetically modified dino that's intended to be the most vicious predator on the island. I bet that works out well.
Here's a description of the Indominus Rex:
We set out to make Indominus the most fearsome dinosaur ever to be displayed at Jurassic World. The genetic engineers at our Hammond Creation Lab have more than delivered. At first glance, Indominus most closely resembles a T. Rex. But its distinctive head ornamentation and ultra-tough bony osteoderms can be traced from Theropods known as Abeliosaurs. Indominus’ horns have been placed above the eye orbit through genetic material hybridized from Carnotaurus, Majungasaurus, Rugops and Giganotosaurus. Fearsome indeed.
Indominus’ roar is estimated to reach 140-160db—the same as a 747 taking off and landing. And it can reach speeds of 30 mph...while confined to its enclosure. Come experience Indominus Rex for yourself beginning this summer. If you dare.
And here's the beastie's outline:
This looks like a job for the Raptor Buddies!
