This Hybrid Dinosaur Was Missing From Jurassic World (& It’s Star Wars’ Fault)
In a departure from typical dinosaurs featured in previous films, the creature known as Indominus rex was not solely based on a Tyrannosaurus rex. Instead, it incorporated DNA from various carnivorous dinosaurs, contemporary reptiles, and fish. As Dr. Henry Wu explained, “Indominus wasn’t bred; she was designed.” The outcome was an incredibly aggressive predator boasting abilities like camouflage, infrared tracking, and heightened intelligence, making her significantly more dangerous than any natural dinosaur seen before.
Interestingly, there was another hybrid dinosaur that almost made it to Jurassic World, but the idea was scrapped just before production began due to an unexpected connection.
