Seen here trying to milk a t-rex tooth, paleontologist Mark Loewen of the University of Utah & Natural History Museum of Utah discusses all the dinosaur misinformation presented in Jurassic Park. So it’s not a prehistorically accurate documentary is what you’re telling me. That’s terrible news. Mostly because I’ve based
