Notes from the Jurassic Park chronology

This episode takes place immediately after the events of "Camp Cretaceous".

Didja Know?

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is a CG-animated TV series that aired on the Netflix streaming service from 2020-2022 for five seasons and one special. While the first couple of episodes take place before and during the events of Jurassic World, the rest of them take place shortly after that film, and about three years before the events of Fallen Kingdom. Netflix is currently producing episodes of a sequel series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, whose first season began in May 2024.

   Each episode of the series opens with the words "A Netflix Original Series" over what appears to be a T. rex footprint in the jungle mud. 

    The Universal Pictures logo that appears after this is altered from the usual to have the Earth globe with a continent that looks very roughly like the supercontinent Pangaea may have looked in the Triassic-Jurassic periods of the Mesozoic era, 200-150 million years ago.

    As the Universal Earth globe spins, a second "continent" seen is actually a stylized DreamWorks Pictures logo (a boy sitting with a fishing pole on the crescent Moon), followed by the Amblin Entertainment logo.

The dinosaur that bursts out of the bursts out of the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous gates at the beginning of the opening titles of each episode is a Tyrannosaurus rex, possibly the infamous Rexy herself, but we don't see its right side close enough to see if it has Rexy's raptor scars incurred in Jurassic Park.

Didja Notice? 

The novelization reveals that the dino droppings that Kenji and Darius are made to shovel as punishment for their unapproved excursion is that of Apatosaurus.

Kenji and Darius access the island's underground tunnels to reach the Carnotaurus enclosure. These tunnels are later briefly seen in Fallen Kingdom. The underground tunnel that Ray Arnold and Ellie Sattler entered to reset the park's power in Jurassic Park was probably part of this same system.

The park's lab contains some Siberian mammoth remains. Does the park plan to clone stone age creatures as well?

The dinosaur skeleton drawing seen at 14:53 on the DVD appears to be Spinosaurus.

This episode introduces the Carnotaurus called Toro who goes on to appear numerous times throughout the Camp Cretaceous series. Kenji gives the Carnotaurus the name of Toro because of the creature's two horns on top of its head, much as the Spanish fighting bull called a toro has.
