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? 

This episode reveals that Sammy's favorite cow back at her family's ranch is Bessie. "Bessie" is a common name for cows in the Western world, a distortion of "Bossy" from the Latin word for cow, bos.

The dinosaur the Scorpios feeds on outside the raptor paddock appears to be a Parasaurolophus.

Ben tells Darius he may have some more gas stashed a few klicks away and Darius asks, "What the heck are klicks?" "Klick" is a military slang term for "kilometer".

Ben and Darius send a sky gondola loaded with their makeshift explosive device up to the top of Lookout Point, the hang gliding takeoff point. This location was previously seen in "View From the Top".

Notes from the junior novelization Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous - The Deluxe Junior Novelization Volume Three by Steve Behling Cover illustration by Patrick Spaziante 2021 Chapters 10-11 cover the events of this episode.

In the novelization, Yasmina takes the map of the island with her to find the lab, but loses it when she falls into the river. In the televised episode, she leaves the map with Brooklynn.

Here, Yaz stumbles and falls into the river before she can make the jump over it. In the televised episode, she completes the jump, but slides on the muddy landing slope down into the river.

In the televised episode, Ben and Darius send the gondola with their explosive device up to Lookout Point from below. Here in the novelization, they go up to the top of Lookout Point and send the loaded gondola down. (Although when they watch the explosion later, the text describes them as watching from the base of the mountain, up to the top of Lookout Point.)

Here, Kenji does not impersonate Bessie the cow as he does in the episode.

Yaz takes the antidote vials and syringes individually. In the episode, they are all in a small, black case that she takes.

Here, Yaz swings on a vine across the river on the return trek. In the episode, she successfully jumps the breadth of the flow.

Yaz does not injure her ankle again here in the novelization as she does in the televised episode.
