They're frogs with dinosaur genes added it. I'm surprised they all don't croak (both in the noise and the dying definition.)

Yeah, I think that implication was lost in the film. The characters come to realize it's all a fabrication, but the audience remains enchanted by the magic of live dinosaurs.

I didn't realize it myself until I saw a rejected poster for the film which showed dinosaur footprints on a beach and had the famous tagline, "An adventure 65 million years in the making." I thought to myself, "That doesn't make sense. The poster makes it seem like dinosaurs had survived extinction." Then I had that "Ohhhhhhhhhh...." moment when it dawned on me that, being clones with altered DNA, they're not real dinosaurs.

I'd seen the original movie more than a dozen times and it took a rejected poster to make me realize what should've been evident by the movie's end.

Within the first half hour of the movie they expressly say "these are clones and we altered their DNA."
And they also mention the frog DNA they used in reference to the dino's being able to change gender.

It's a lot more obvious in the book.

Yeah, but the film experience goes something kinda like this:

HOLY SHIT, LIVE DINOSAURS!!!
HOLY SHIT, LIVE DINOSAURS!!!

These aren't rea-
HOLY SHIT, LIVE DINOSAURS!!!
These aren't real dinosaurs.
HOLY SHIT, LIVE DINOSAURS!!!!

The message just gets lost by the overpowering appeal of live dinosa'rs.

It's kinda like having an orgy with the celebrities or models of your choosing while someone in the background tries to preach how monogamy is the way.

yeah I think the book goes over the fact that we have no way of knowing whether or not the dino is this particular shade of brown or green

or whatever other trait you want to substitute in there
