One Jurassic World Hybrid Dinosaur Plot Hole Can Be Explained By Real Science
In Netflix’s Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, the reveal of the Scorpios Rex hybrid not only unveiled one of Jurassic World’s darkest secrets but also a T-Rex-sized plot hole that surprisingly can be explained by real science. The Jurassic Park stories tend to exist within the furthest fields of modern theory with tenuous links to real-world science. Interestingly, biology may hold the answer to one of the series’ biggest twists, and in this case, the truth may be stranger than fiction.

The revelation of a second Scorpios Rex didn’t seem to have an explanation or make any sense. However, considering Jurassic Park’s origins as a sci-fi novel, the answer to this mystery may lie in real-world science that links back to the time of the dinosaurs.
