While Isla Nublar was a park with fences built for tourists, Isla Sorna was originally created for the dinosaurs to be born and become socialized before moving to Isla Nublar. In the first sequel, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, audiences learned that when Hammond built Jurassic Park on the fictional island off the coast of Costa Rica called Isla Nublar, he also populated another neighboring island called Isla Sorna with dinosaurs. While all of the dinosaurs were created female to prevent breeding in the park, frog DNA allowed for sex changes in survival situations, so some of the dinosaurs were able to breed - leading to disaster. This created unforeseen problems, as the cloned dinosaurs had new attributes from the reptile or amphibian DNA they were mixed with. Unfortunately, some of the DNA samples had decayed over 65 million years, so InGen used modern reptilian DNA fragments to fill in the gaps. That’s why there’s this handy guide to prepare you for your journey back to Isla Nublar.Īudiences first walked with the dinosaurs in 1993’s Jurassic Park, which saw wealthy industrialist John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) and his bioengineering company InGen create a theme park populated by cloned dinosaurs, thanks to preserved DNA samples found in ancient mosquitoes who had fed on dinosaurs. Over those years, some of its key plot details may have become hazy.
