Jurassic Park adviser unimpressed with Steven Spielberg's dinosaurs: ‘What didn't he get wrong?'
The latest Jurassic Park film comes out next week – but the man who served as a consultant on the original film decades ago is not impressed by it. 'Dino' Don Lessem was employed by director Steven Spielberg on the title, Jurassic Park, which came out in 1993 and was responsible for a surge in interest in dinosaurs that never really dissipated. Lessem is in Dublin this weekend to take in his Zoorassic Park life-size dinosaur exhibition , which runs at Dublin Zoo until September, and to give a series of sold-out talks to children on the subject. Lessem credits the original Jurassic Park outing with reviving interest in the extinct creatures, but that is about all. As a consultant, he felt his advice was ignored. READ MORE 'I know all the wrong ways to present dinosaurs. If you told the real story of dinosaurs, it would be a very boring movie. They mostly ate, went to the bathroom and then slept,' he says. 'Dino' Don Lessem behind a brontosaurus which he designed as part of the Zoorassic Trail in Dublin Zoo. 'In Jurassic Park, I would tell them all the time that this is not what they look like, and they told me, 'enjoy the shrimp and try and be quiet'.' What does he think Spielberg got wrong? 'What didn't he get wrong?,' quips Lessem. However, the dinosaur expert got on very well with the film director, which he attributes to his being the 'only one on set who didn't want something from [Spielberg]'. 'Everyone on a movie set is angling for the next job.' Lessem says he does not think much of Jurassic World Rebirth, the seventh film in the franchise. He objects to the depiction of dinosaurs as man-eating monsters as, in reality, a human could have outrun and easily outsmarted a Tyrannosaurus Rex. [ The dinosaur-obsessed boy from Belfast who actually grew up to be a palaeontologist Opens in new window ] Still, he's not po-faced about the matter, because dinosaurs are a gateway to science for young children, and he regularly meets scientists whose childhood interest in the natural world started with the mostly outsize, long-extinct beasts. Lessem had studied to be a gorilla scientist, but he found it too hard to make a living. He got a job at the Boston Globe as a journalist, and after being sent on assignment to report on dinosaur hunters, he was hooked. Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Laura Dern and Sam Neill star in the 1993 film Jurassic Park, watching dinosaur eggs hatch. Photograph: Universal This is a golden age for dinosaur discovery, he says, with new species being discovered every couple of weeks or so. The latest is called Enigmacursor Mollyborthwickae and was recently discovered in the US and is about the size of a large dog. In 1999, a dinosaur found in Argentina was named after him – the Lessemsaurus. This beast was nine metres long and weighed an average of seven tonnes. It was a tiddler, however, compared to the Argentinosaurus, the largest-ever living creature, which weighed between 65 and 80 tonnes, roughly the weight of 50 elephants. Most dinosaurs are only identified by a single tooth or bone. 'There's a lot of big mistakes made. Half of the dinosaurs that are named turn out to be wrong,' Lessem says. How these land animals got to be so large is one of the questions that paleontologists are still trying to answer. Lessem believes there are not enough paleontologists at work, and that there is little funding for research despite the enduring fascination with dinosaurs. [ Name that birdsong: How to tell the flying dinosaurs from their chirps Opens in new window ] Universities, he says, see no way of monetising dinosaur research, so they leave it to the amateurs. 'You could make a case that dinosaurs inspire children, but there is no practical benefit from it,' he adds with a hint of resignation. There are no dinosaur fossils in Ireland because there was no such place during the time they were on Earth, between 245 million and 66 million years ago. What is now Ireland was then under water. Nevertheless, a man from Co Cork called Lessem to tell him he had discovered a dinosaur footprint. Lessem says he is sceptical, but intends to check it out during his tour around the country.

"After the holidays and into the New Year, it was just one little thing after another." They added to "It's over and he has accepted it." Most read in Celebrity The Sun has gone to reps for Katy and Orlando for comment. LETTING SLIP It has previously been claimed that Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring. The Kardashians are leading the world's A-listers flocking to Venice for Jeff Bezos and his bride Lauren Sanchez's ultra-rich wedding of the century A source close to the couple said at the time: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done. 'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. "But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin.

'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule. The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin.
