That the dinosaurs thus manufactured display the characteristics of natural organisms, including responding to environmental pressures (such as the all-female population, and lysinergic biochemical pathway degradation) increases the magnitude of the achievement. The animals replicated in this way would have represented a truly towering achievement in the biological sciences - the manufacture of fully synthetic organisms with structures based on theoretical models as opposed to truly observed biology. Henry Wu's creations" made from fragments of DNA available, and corrected and changed according to the needs of the client, Mr. In the book, however, it was explained that these were not exact replicas of their prehistoric ancestors but "Dr. So, he created a plot device using cloning. Crichton was fully aware of this when writing the story, but he needed a way for dinosaurs to exist in modern day. The ethical and religious issues alone are enough to stop the development of one anyway. Michael Crichton's method is a concept that may one day be possible but, at present, we cannot create something even close to the original animal. However this would have taken too long to come into effect whereas 'theoretically' rebooting the system would have given them almost immediate control. While he certainly felt an attachment to the animals a more plausible explanation of his decision can be ascertained by his exclamation to John Arnold that 'people are dying!' Arnold was adamant he didn't want to be responsible for rebooting the park systems as they may not have come back on at all and seemed more in favour of Muldoon's suggestion to use the lysine contingency. It might also be said that he felt a small compassion for his creations (which is why he screamed at Grant over the phone when he heard him shooting at the Raptors). Hammond was against using the plan for the obvious reason.he didn't want to kill off all the dinosaurs, lose his investment, and be forced to start all over again. However, death by lack of lysine would take a long time, several weeks and even longer for the meat eaters since digestion of meat produces lysine. It was included in the construction of the animals' DNA so they could only survive with the diets provided in the park, i.e., they could not survive off the island. The lysine contingency plan called for withholding lysine from the dinosaurs' diets in order to kill them, if necessary. Sources of lysine include eggs, meat, soy, milk, Parmesan cheese, fish, and most grains and legumes. Specifically, it is one of nine 'essential' amino acids that cannot be manufactured by the body and must be consumed in food. Lysine is an amino acid, one of the 'building blocks' of protein. So while he was technically the most knowledgeable about Raptors because he's spent time observing living ones, he has never seen them hunt in the wild. Muldoon was a game warden and was an expert in modern animals. Grant knew about the flanking maneuver because he's a dinosaur expert. 4) Muldoon has only ever observed them in captivity.
He's hunted all sorts of modern predators but this is far more intelligence and cooperation than pretty much anything other than maybe chimps on the savannahs or in the jungles.
He saw a raptor 'hiding' and thought that was the ambushing raptor which was just the bait whilst the real ambusher got into position. 3) Muldoon got outgambitted, essentially. It foreshadows their ambush tactics in the third film pretty well, in hindsight.
In effect, the raptors were a step more intelligent than anyone knew so clever that they could play dumb. What he didn't expect was for the apparently unaware raptor he was stalking to be playing possum so that the Big One could flank Muldoon. In the film there are several possibilities: 1) He probably expected them to try to flank him, just from a different direction. In the novel, Muldoon did know about their flanking tactics and wedged himself in a pipe so they could only come from one direction.
