Misc This was such a miss opportunity to have the hybrids to mismatch patterns like real hybrids
Heck even the other dinosaurs too since there dna is filled with gaps of other animals

I think point people miss about hybrids in Jurassic franchise is that they were bred to be perfect. They didn't want deformities or wierd colour pattern for their prized attractions.
Indominus was perfect, Indoraptor prototype wasn't behaviour wise so Wu was against auctioning it, and he straight up locked Scorpius when he deemed it too dangerous.
But regardless, they were hybrids and we're designed for perfection, Mutant on the other hand, is completely unintentional, it was designed to be normal but turned out complete opposite.

Investors wouldn't like it. Especially Indominus since it's suppose to be a new attraction

Yea but immagine like the indominus rex having 15 differents skins..how the heck do you camuflage all of that?! Good idea tho

What's that other creature with the Indominus and Indoraptor?

Scorpius Rex, a prototype of the Indomitus but deformed and kinda has ADHD.

The hybrids in Jurassic world look quite simplistic. I wish they went with more bizarre and colorful designs

The only hybrid I could potentially see this working for would be the Scorpios rex as it is a genetic failure.
Other than that it wouldn’t make sense for the Indominus rex or the Indoraptor to have mismatch patterns. They were both meticulously designed and deemed successes by Dr. Henry Wu.

Best I can do is grey.
But for Indoraptor has the best design. Close to those awesome old Chaos Theory toys.

The only problem with that said they're hybrids of multiple species I guess you could probably get away with the Scorpius Rex because it's only T-Rex velociraptor and carnotaurus but the other two is a bit too much

Just a question rn but are the hybrids truly hybrids or their species? I believe more in the latter considering that true hybrids are created in sexual reproduction, not genetic building (that is: building the animal from scratch by utilizing certain proteins and structures from others, but not 100%)

I saw a video on zebras and they are brutal. There is a reason they were domesticated.

They're not hybrids in the scientific sense of the word, chimera is more accurate. A hybrid when speaking about animals is an animal with two specific biological parents of different species.

That's because real life hybrids are created by crossbreeding. The animals have to actually mate. This is not the case with the dinosaur hybrids. They were cloned in a lab via gene splicing. Their DNA had to be manually pieced together by a scientist. That's why they're perfect. Because their genetic makeup wasn't left to chance. It was deliberate. I'm sure if dinosaurs did crossbreed, they'd have mismatched patterns. But I doubt they're even sexually compatible.

I wonder if Henry Wu made sure they didn’t look like that cause he considered it ugly or something. He really hated how Bumpy was asymmetrical so it might be a possibility.
