"Birds" at end of JP1

[ERASER]

[quote author=interdev159 link=board=3;threadid=2194;start=0#msg32558 date=1058655862]<br />All, at the end of Jurassic Park, when the people are flying away from the island, Malcom looks out the window of the helicopter and sees some type of bird. Is it a pterodactyl or some other kind of bird? This is to settle a bet, by the way. <br /><br />I've seen the picture here: http://www.jpdatabase.net/jurassic/jpg/jpi_101.JPG, but I can't tell if they are pelicans or are supposed to be pterodactyls.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mike<br /><hr></blockquote><br />So... how much did you lose? ;D

The gullets are the biggest hint.<br /><hr></blockquote><br /><br />Regardless if they where pelicans or oversized parrots.

Indeed, even IF they weren't pelicans (and that's a HUGE "if,&quot, the feathers are surely enough of a hint that they weren't Pterosaurs. Small theropod dinosaurs had feathers; Pterosaurs had thin coats of fur, and only on their bodies (the wings were still simply skin membranes).

I didn't loose any money on it, thankfully. Thanks for the responses!

Pelicans are an australian bird. Wait until you see one in real life... weird! Although i don't know why an aussie bird is in costa rica....

Yup pelicans or some type of bird. Just there for a peaceful ending with peaceful music for a not so peaceful movie.
