Strikingly similar to the landscape of Kauai, Isla Nublar is a tropical paradise of lush jungles, green plains, and spectacularly steep cliffs which just thousands of feet into the air. (Scurrilous rumors about dinosaurs foraging for plants with lysine or being capable of changing their own sex are best disregarded.) As a special safety precaution, all dinosaurs are female and incapable of producing lysine, a key amino acid, so there is absolutely no risk of the dinosaurs being able to escape the island and reproduce. The park has a 100% clean safety record and no visitors or park staff members have been injured by the island’s dinosaurs. For a more detailed look at the history of the park, see the film in the Visitor Center.Ĭontrary to popular rumors, there have been no incidents involving power outages which allowed the dinosaurs to escape and attack the humans on the island. The process of creating a dinosaur involves locating fossilized ancient mosquitoes, recovering the dinosaur blood within the insect, and then filling in the gaps in the genetic code by using genes of present amphibian species like frogs, tods before breeding a dinosaur. The brainchild of InGen CEO John Hammond, Jurassic Park was the first and thus far only theme park to feature living dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were cloned in special facilities on nearby Isla Sorna and brought to the park. The island/theme park is well known for housing and exhibiting real living, breathing dinosaurs, and the sight of these creatures once thought lost to time is truly one to behold. Jurassic Park is a safari park/zoo created by InGen on the island Isla Nublar, 120 miles west off the coast of Costa Rica.
