Jurassic Park: Palaeontologist Dr. David Button on the fascinating truth of the movie’s dinosaurs, plus Tom Fishenden on why the film remains a classic

If you've ever wondered anything about Jurassic Park's dinosaurs, you've come to the right place. We speak to palaeontologist and Dinosaur Researcher at the Natural History Museum Dr. David Button, who explains:

• Why "Everything you know about raptors is wrong"
• How fast a T. Rex really could have run
• Whether Nedry's nemesis, the dilophosaurus, could have actually spat venom in his face

David also told us about the fascinating methods that modern palaeontologists use to find out more about dinosaurs than was ever thought possible, as well as its importance in understanding the world we live in today.

We also had the pleasure of speaking to Tom Fishenden from The Jurassic Park Podcast, who chatted with us about everything that makes the movie so magic. We discuss the malfunctioning T. Rex animatronic, the reception the fan community gave to the new sequels and whose story Jurassic Park really is.
