Colin Trevorrow Shares New ‘JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION’ Parasaurolophus Image!
After an image of Owen and a parasaurolophus in the Sierra Nevadas was revealed earlier this week, Jurassic World: Dominion director Colin Trevorrow took to social media to reveal another new image of the species from his time shooting the film.

“What species is this?”
This parasaur seems to be in the same snowy environment as the image with Owen. Interestingly, both the Owen image and this new image feature re-designs in relation to past parasaurs in the Jurassic franchise. In response to a little speculation and confusion about the species, Trevorrow clarified:
It’s a Parasaurolophus.

“The pompadour! Elvis!”
As far as the re-design is concerned, it could find its explanation in these dinosaurs being made by a company other than InGen (BioSyn, perhaps?). Trevorrow laid some of the groundwork for this type of plot explanation in an interview with Jurassic Outpost shortly after Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom‘s release, which you can read here. While the image from earlier this week is CG, this latest parasaurolophus is a maquette used for visual reference during production on Dominion – and we have to say, it is beautiful.
