Why didn’t the Dilophosaurus immediately devour Dennis Nedry in ‘Jurassic Park’? Discover the funny fan theory about Steven Spielberg’s film…
Did the kid traumatized by Alan Grant in the first Jurassic Park grow up to become Owen Grady in Jurassic World? Did John Hammond lie to his visitors from the start? Was the T-Rex attack planned?
Whether convincing, completely wacky or simply entertaining, fan theories about Steven Spielberg’s famous film flourish abundantly on the web. And some – whether we take them seriously or not – at least have the merit of offering us a new and amusing point of view on the events of Isla Nublar.
Thus, on the forums of Redditthe so-called magecatwitharrows purports to tell us why, in his opinion, the dilophosaur didn’t immediately attack Dennis Nedry when it bumped into him in the middle of the film, and why he even started out playing the game with the dishonest computer guy.

Indeed, before being sprayed with venom and eaten alive, Nedry shares a few privileged moments with the carnivore, talks to him and even throws a stick at him, without the dinosaur trying anything against him.
“I always thought he was just sizing it up before he ate it, that he always considered it prey”Explain magecatwitharrows. “But watching the scene for the millionth time this morning, I noticed one important detail: the hood.”
As our friend points out, just before starting his little discussion with the dilophosaurus, Nedry puts the hood of his raincoat back on his head to protect himself from the pouring rain, thus covering his entire skull.

“His poncho is bright yellow, just like the Dilophosaurus ruff flaps. (…) A dinosaur has no idea what a raincoat is, so at first when he sees Nedry, all he sees is a giant figure with a huge hood around his face.”
“Keep in mind that all the dinosaurs in the park are female. I think the dilophosaurus thought Nedry was a male, and more specifically a potential mate. That’s why he followed him like a little dog. letting out those little coos. Until Nedry stumbled, and his hood fell down.”
The rest, we know. A royal feast for the dilophosaurs, and a tragic end for poor Dennis Nedry.
