Blue (Jurassic World)
''Velociraptor'' was popularized by its appearance in the ''Jurassic Park'' franchise, which features numerous individuals. They first appear in Michael Crichton's 1990 novel ''Jurassic Park'', followed by a 1993 film adaptation from director Steven Spielberg, which spawned a series of films. Despite their name, Crichton heavily based the ''Velociraptors'' on the larger ''Deinonychus'', and this was carried over into the films. The on-screen raptors were created using several production methods, including animatronics by Stan Winston and CGI by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). The 2015 film ''Jurassic World'' introduces a group of named raptors who are being trained in a research program. Among these is an individual named ''Blue'', who returns in the sequels '' Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom'' (2018) and ''Jurassic World Dominion'' (2022). The concept of trained raptors was conceived by Spielberg, who served as executive producer on the ''Jurassic World'' films. Blue is among th ...

Mosasaurus
''Mosasaurus'' (; "lizard of the Meuse (river), Meuse River") is the type genus (defining example) of the mosasaurs, an extinct group of aquatic Squamata, squamate reptiles. It lived from about 82 to 66 million years ago during the Campanian and Maastrichtian Stage (stratigraphy), stages of the Late Cretaceous. The genus was one of the first Mesozoic marine reptiles known to science—the first fossils of ''Mosasaurus'' were found as skulls in a chalk quarry near the Dutch city of Maastricht in the late 18th century, and were initially thought to be crocodiles or whales. One skull discovered around 1780 was famously nicknamed the "great animal of Maastricht". In 1808, naturalist Georges Cuvier concluded that it belonged to a giant marine lizard with similarities to monitor lizards but otherwise unlike any known living animal. This concept was revolutionary at the time and helped support the then-developing ideas of extinction. Cuvier did not designate a scientific name for the an ...
