Episode 5 - The Beach

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 5 - The Beach 

In this episode (stream it here), my terrific guest Dr. Jordan Mallon chats with me about: 

Torosaurus, splitting and lumping, buying the book, reading the book, being uncomfortable with disembowelment, sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs, garials, Jurassic Park, paleo curricula, real-life moments from Jurassic Park, breeding, velociraptors, bad veterinarians, hadrosaurs, ornithischians, following the White Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland, unbirthdays and a little bit of Spiclypeus. 

Plus dinosaur news about:

• Sauropod stride lengths
• Torosaurus taxonomy 

Featuring the music of Snale https://snalerock.bandcamp.com/releases 

Intro: T-Shirts. Outro: Death of a Dream.

 

This episode is available for streaming on YouTube, as well.

The Text:

Guitierrez is puzzled by the mystery of the strangely described, biting basilisk lizard – and is interested in observing the specimen himself, so he visits Cabo Blanco.

Discussion surrounds Building a Mystery, Jurassic Park's MacGuffin, Ecological Criticism, and Due Diligence. 

Corrections:

In the “Due Diligence” section I mention that we might not see that lizard saliva sample that was sent to San Jose again, and even joked about it, but– nope! I was wrong. It returns in the next chapter.
