The Jurassic Park franchise is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Here, I show that many representations of dinosaurs and other palaeo-organisms in the franchise are inaccurate, being vastly different from their real-life counterparts in major aspects, and they negatively affect the public’s view of palaeo-organisms by imprinting stereotypes. A complete list of inaccuracies that has the potential to deviate the public impression of palaeo-organisms are listed in this article via research, and the implications of these inaccuracies are studied and discussed with an analysis of an online questionnaire.
