Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too.

The Text:

This week’s text is Stegosaur, spanning from pages 154 - 157. 

Synopsis:

The tour continues to the stegosaurus paddock, where the vet is tending to a sick stego, which Grant rushes to inspect. The stegos are “always getting sick,” but Sattler cracks the case! While consuming gizzard stones, the stegos were inadvertently also consuming toxic berries – explaining why there is no trace of the west Indian lilac bushes being eaten, nor in the stego spoors. Because it’s not the plants, it’s the berries. They find this evidence in a discarded pile of gizzard stones … as well as something else even more shocking!

Meanwhile, Gennaro quizzes Malcolm on why Chaos theory predicts that Jurassic Park is unsafe for people – or put differently, will have “very large consequences for human life.” Animal welfare and animal containment are predicted to fail at Jurassic Park – and no sooner has he said that, Grant and Ellie reveal their consequential discovery – a raptor eggshell, proving that dinosaurs are breeding in Jurassic Park. 

Discussions surround:

Sick Stegos, Chaos Theory, Easter Eggs, and Harding is Mr. Magoo.
