Sauroposeidon
The press release in 1999 immediately garnered international media attention, which led to many (inaccurate) news reports of "the largest dinosaur ever!". While "Sauroposeidon" likely represents the tallest known dinosaur taxon, it does not hold records for either the longest or most massive. "Patagotitan" or "Argentinosaurus" make better candidates for the title "World's Largest Dinosaur" (presuming to ignore, as is conventional, "Amphicoelias"), though incomplete fossil evidence makes exact rankings impossible.
Velociraptor in popular culture
Production on "Jurassic Park" began before the discovery of the large dromaeosaurid "Utahraptor" was made public in 1991, but as Jody Duncan wrote about this discovery: "Later, after we had designed and built the Raptor, there was a discovery of a Raptor skeleton in Utah, which they labeled 'super-slasher'. They had uncovered the largest Velociraptor to date - and it measured five-and-a-half-feet tall, just like ours. So we designed it, we built it, and then they discovered it. That still boggles my mind." Spielberg was particularly pleased with the discovery of the "Utahraptor" because of the boost it gave to the "Velociraptors" in his film. Spielberg's name was briefly considered for naming of the new dinosaur. In reality, "Velociraptor", like many other maniraptoran theropods, was covered in feathers. "Jurassic Park" and its sequel "" were released before this discovery, so the creatures in both films are depicted as featherless with scales all over in the manner of modern reptiles. For "Jurassic Park III," the male "Velociraptor" was given quill-like structures along the back of the head and neck. While this was the extent to which CGI effects were able to render feathers at the time, the structures do not resemble the down-like feathers real-life dromaeosaurids bore or the fully developed arm feathers, akin to the wing feathers of modern birds, born by "Velociraptor". In "Jurassic World", the raptors appear as protagonists, but their design was the same as it was from the first two films, which drew criticism due to their lack of feathers, even though they were modifying cloning animals. The film has retroactively established that, because of geneticists like Dr. Henry Wu (portrayed by BD Wong) have been filling gaps in the dinosaur genome with the DNA of other animals, they made the film series' dinosaurs such as the "Velociraptors" and "Dilophosaurus" look and even behave very differently than their predecessors, therefore explains why they do not have feathers since all genetic-engineered dinosaurs are not pure.
