Well I didn't say total sense. Just... more.

Do mosquitoes even drink the blood of rotting animals?
Then there's the size of the Mosasaur. How often do animals the size of whales wash up on shore in modern day, surely they just get eaten by other sea animals before they have chance of washing up.

The Antarctic was only split off from South-America 62 million years ago, causing a full encirclement of the continent and acting as a heat-exchange barrier. Earth in general cooled down over this period though, perhaps rebalancing the fallout of the asteroid impact with different flows in the ocean and the return of complex ecosystems with increased biomass conversion.
To put it simple: the dinosaurs lived in a world without ice, during the period in which mammals truly evolved (60 million-present), ice has been a near constant.
That's kind of why global warming is a really, really big deal. But you'll never find a dino on ice either.

It's actually not too uncommon. Well, I wouldn't say it's common, but I'd say there is at least a few stories a year about washed up whale carcasses. It's common enough that they have protocol for "venting" the gases from the body, because otherwise they eventually explode and make a huge mess.

And here we thought the Spinosaurus was supposed to be villainous.

To be fair, this toy looks a bit more exaggerated in detail compared to some of the other shots in the OP.
True enough, but even then, they designed one scary girl.
The "hair", spikes, arms, head. Everything screams: "SCREAM!"

For sure. Even from the trailer/teaser pics, its has a pretty gnarly mouth/teeth. Almost Peter Jackson's dinos.
Is it confirmed that it has shark-like teeth? Polygon reported that it had teeth that get "replaced" ala a shark but it's Polygon.

He just wants a hug.
Polygon reports on films? I dunno.
But you're right about the Peter Jackson comparison. Those jaws are straight out of the V-Rex in King Kong.

There's no chance the production version looks that good, this is the toy equivalent of a bullshot.

Wow Hasbro has so gone to shit in the last couple years.
So no regular styled vehicles or humans

So are they retconning the fact that the original island was destroyed after the first JP or that somehow the dinosaurs still survived?
Anton Sugar

Yeah, they report on movies now, or at least share news. Their bit on the I-Rex: http://www.polygon.com/2015/1/30/7951253/jurassic-world-dinosaur-new
Actually, the source is the I-Rex page on the official site:
Didn't know that, but it doesn't sound QUITE like what's going on inside a shark's mouth.
I wonder how fast? If the Rex can do it within hours, they should play it up in the movie, since it's a genetic monster and all.

Is that ever mentioned in the other movies? I thought it was just in The Lost World book.

Pretty sure the Costa Rican military didn't have nukes.

Okay, it was something large and firey and explosive, like really powerful napalm.
They said the place was gone when it was over.
Edited for correction: http://jurassicpark.wikia.com/wiki/Costa_Rica_Napalm_Bombing
Funnily enough, here is a story today of nearly 200 whales accidentally beaching themselves. If not for human intervention trying to save them, surely all of them would eventually die instead of only around 24 so far.

I'm still not convinced it is in the movie, but...
That never happened in the movies.

I think that was supposed to be the Superbowl Trailer, right?
I honestly haven't been keeping a close eye on the marketing. That's what Demoncarnotaur is for.

I thought there was supposed to be a longer version? Like with Fast 7 there was the Superbowl version that was about 30 seconds long but then a longer 2:30 version that came out after.
I figured as well, but I don't think that's the case, or else we should've seen it already.

Yeah, Jurassic World is just all kinds of stupid. This is so easy to explain. Mosasaurs need to surface to breath oxygen too.

if he appears I wonder if they will make it the size it's supposed to be, also neat toy, I used to like this fella a lot, wicked dino imo

I'm positive the Dilo is in, there's even a Lego set featuring them.

Yup, just learned something else:
an extra on set saw a placard of the Dilo in the new visitors center, which featured a very similiar color scheme to the toy.

This is a cool pic showing off the Raptor key art renders:
I'm liking these these toys for what they're worth:
$10 assortment
$15 assortment
$35 deluxe dinos

Those all look pretty great, except for both Rexes. Proportions of head and feet just look off or goofy.
Also, I really hope all the pics of the raptors vs T-Rex are misdirection.

Probably a nod to the first movie.
Man, the animation in JP1 is god tier--such a great sense of organic movement AND momentum. Love the little extra shoulder move he does to toss the raptor off.

Saw all of the Papos at Barnes and Noble. So good, yet so pricey.

What the fuck..... Still looks amazing!Probably a nod to the first movie.

Aww, those plastic gates take me back...
How much were they? I've seen them on Amazon for around $15, although I think some have been raising in price over time.
I think the thing I dislike the most about the toy collection is the colour with so much yellow used. There was so much more variety in the old lines...
It's already pretty common today for whales to wash up on shore in some areas like New Zealand, and it would be really common in the extremely shallow Tethys Seas where some large mosasaurs frequented.
