Life will find a way

Posted by Ian Malcolm

Hello and welcome. In the years since Jurassic Park disintegrated, we (including Ellie Sattler, Sam Neill, and yes, even Dennis Nedry) have been living on Isla Sorna ("Site B"), with no way to contact the outside world to document our discoveries. However, last week, a T-rex (a MALE T-rex to be precise!) pushed aside a fallen building near the geothermal plant. When he left we noticed an old – but working – radio device. Lex and Ellie hooked up one of our old UNIX systems to the device using the synapses from a frog and voilĂ ... life has found a way for us to blog.

During our time on the island, most of which was spent living at the remains of Worker's Camp – right near the raptor field – we have found that... we now believe our species may have a lot to learn from the once reviled velociraptors. Unfortunately, however, we have also learned that their population on the island is dwindling. We have recorded a decline of about 10% year over year, and in 2004 it was closer to 25%. Anecdotally Ellie has determined that starvation may be the cause, but she will surely tell you all about that later.

So, the purpose of this blog is to document our attempts to replenish the beloved raptor population, as well as to share our ideas and research from our time studying the raptors' culture and beliefs.
