Multiple of over 20 different dinosaur species escaped in six-movie Jurassic Park story as a whole.
Jurassic World Dominion will take the franchise in an all-new direction by redefining the planetary ecosystem and putting dinosaurs back into the equation. Instead of depicting them as captive creatures in a theme park or a facility, Jurassic World Dominion will offer a story where humans actually coexist with dinosaurs all over the world. That’s the new reality facing the franchise’s human characters when the movie hits the big screen. For four years, humans will have known what it’s like to live alongside dinosaurs, who have assimilated into the Earth’s ecosystems – for better or worse. Marketing for the movie has provided teases of the challenges that come with living with dinosaurs.
Everything that the humans (and the dinosaurs) will have to go through in Jurassic World Dominion was made possible by Fallen Kingdom’s game-changing ending. In the trilogy’s second installment, Maisie Lockwood set the dinosaurs held at Lockwood Manor free, thus allowing them to reproduce and repopulate the world with even more of these prehistoric creatures. Some, like the Indoraptor, didn’t survive the escape, but others made a successful break. Others, like the ones that will debut in Dominion, likely escaped off-screen. Here’s every species that got away in Fallen Kingdom and how many of them are confirmed to be on the loose.
Stegosaurus
A spiked herbivore large enough to put up a fight against a T-Rex, the Stegosaurus has appeared in every movie in the franchise, with the one exception being the first Jurassic Park. Since five made it out of Lockwood Manor, they’ll be one of the species on hand in Dominion.
Allosaurus
Among the escapees were at least five Allosauruses, which are sure to become problems in the future. Though not as powerful as the T-Rex, the Allosaurus is a large, predatory dinosaur that can easily make meals of humans. One of these creatures was spotted in the Jurassic World Dominion trailer when Chris Pratt’s Owen Grady was riding on a motorcycle.
Carnotaurus
Much bigger than its real-life counterpart, the Jurassic franchise’s take on the Carnotaurus has proven to be one of the most dangerous carnivores ever encountered by the human protagonists. Since two escaped in Fallen Kingdom, the door is now open for them to wreak havoc on human and animal populations everywhere. They’ll also be in conflict with rival predators, as one was seen fighting an Allosaurus in the Jurassic Dominion trailer.
Triceratops
Fallen Kingdom’s ending set free seven or more Triceratops. But despite their massive size, their presence in California after Fallen Kingdom is unlikely to become a huge issue These herbivores are relatively peaceful (except when provoked).
Baryonyx
The Baryonyx, a powerful predator capable of easily traversing both land and water, was unleashed upon the world during the Lockwood Manor incident. Three of their number were confirmed to be in the group of dinosaurs that escaped.
Pteranodon
The most well-known flying dinosaur in existence, the Pterandon, are confirmed to appear in Jurassic World Dominion. That’s not surprising, given how often they’re used and the fact that three managed to flee from captivity in Fallen Kingdom.
Apatosaurus
Easily mistaken for the Brontosaurus due to its shape, size, and the length of its neck, the Apatosaurus is a massive herbivore and one of the many dinosaur species appearing in Dominion. Five – if not more – of their kind escaped into the wild when the last movie ended.
Brachiosaurus
Another humongous dinosaur that resembles and behaves like the Brontosaurus is the Brachiosaurus. At least three got free in the chaos that played out in Fallen Kingdom, which sets the stage for them to show up at some point in Dominion. But due to their herbivorous nature, they’re unlikely to pose a physical threat, although their size does make them potential hazards.
Gallimimus
At least eight of the Gallimimus species made it out of Lockwood Manor. Built for speed, the Gallimimus is a two-legged creature believed to be one of the fastest dinosaurs to have ever lived. Their remarkable speed could once again be on display when they return in Dominion.
Parasaurolophus
Often referred to simply as the parasaur, the Parasaurolophus is a peaceful dinosaur that travels in packs. They also serve as food for much larger predators. Six made it out of Lockwood Manor, and now their population has apparently grown rapidly. Owen Grady was seen trying to herd some of them in the Jurassic World Dominion trailer, possibly in an effort to ride one.
