Dinosaurs are hitting movie theaters this summer with "Jurassic World Rebirth" debuting on Wednesday (July 2). The series that started more than 30 years ago with "Jurassic Park" is still one of the only major live action blockbuster franchises that has propelled dinosaurs to the big screen. So, what's it like being a paleontologist who advises Hollywood on these Mesozoic creatures?
Steve Brusatte, a vertebrate palaeontologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, is the scientific advisor to the "Jurassic World" movies, including the latest, which stars Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey. Live Science emailed Brusatte several questions to get to the meat of the matter: What's his favorite scene from "Jurassic World Rebirth," what's an inaccuracy from the "Jurassic Park" films he'd like to correct, and, most importantly, if a dinosaur were to attack, which one would he prefer?
