    The army would likely just ignore them as mad-men or something.
    Ummthose were the people who rescued them. And were flying back with them. Therefore able to see the dinosaurs

        First movie:
        The lysine contingency is intended to prevent the spread of the animals in case they ever get off the island. Dr. Wu inserted a gene that makes a single faulty enzyme in protein metabolism. The animals can't manufacture the amino acid lysine. Unless they're continually supplied with lysine by us, they'll slip into a coma and die.

          I just finished watching and was thinking the same thing. I don't know if it was lazy writing, or if it will at least be addressed in the new one. I would certainly hope that they'll at least address why the place is now a park, with hundreds of visitors, why this was allowed and why anyone would actually go there on purpose!

            Yeah ofcourse these bird seemingly have survived since the second film without anyone to monitor them so they couldn`t have got lysine either way and yet they still live. Nature finds a way.

              that was pretty much my take at the ending as well everyone is just flying off into the sunset happy as can be including the Pterodactlys??!! why not just let the raptors and trex' onto the mainland too? i think Enid, Oklahoma would be a good home for the raptors frankly the warhips should be shooting them down over the open ocean and leaving them for chum imho
              that speciaies is gonna wreak havoc wherever their 'new home' might be and dr.grant saying such a lame thing after all he's gone thru (and the implications of his being a stout anti-dio-island protestor in the tim in between then movies), being the dino-ecpert and all, he should be the first one yelling up to the pilots to blast those things out of the air it was an okay movie until then but that was just a real jack-a-mo of an ending
              aside from the need for sequels, why didn't they go in an kill all the dinosaurs after the first failed experiment? if they could reproduce without males, then they could evolve into prehistoric aquatic or semi-aquatic dinos too and the next thing ya know, Tokyo's got one more giant lizard stompin the hell out of it on a regular basis ..
              take care,

                There were dozens of military personnel also leaving the island. There's no way only Grant and co. witnessed the flying reptiles; that would be a big reason for a lack of immediate concern.

                    On the second movie, they surmised that the herbivores consumed plant life that contained the substance, then the carnivores absorbed it through eating those herbivores.

                      In one of the spin off books Dr Grant and the kid went and caught them all.

                        I thought the same thing! The Pterodactyls just tried to eat the people on the island and then they think it is a good thing when the Pterodactyls fly away?

                          You know, I just love the fact that for some reason, almost every time I see someone whom either claims to be, or is supposed to be a serious fan of dinosaurs and these movies, keeps calling Pteranodon Pterodactyl, when they are not even close to the same thing, aside from being Pterosaurs.

                            And who in this thread claimed such expertise exactly??
