It occurred to me that the T-rex (we really need an official name for her) from the original Jurassic Park only killed one human in the movie, and it was that shitty lawyer who abandoned the kids anyway, so he had it coming. She wasn’t in the second or third film as those took place on the other island. She was, however, in Jurassic World where (spoilers) she saved everyone’s asses, JUST like she did at the end of the first film. So let’s do a tally here.

Humans Killed: 1

Humans Saved: 8 + 1 velociraptor

In conclusion the T-rex is the real protagonist of the series thank you.

If you wouldn't have become a paleontologist, what would you be doing?

I don’t know what I would’ve done. I would maybe be a librarian but I don’t know. I’ve never really seriously thought much about it.

What's your favorite series?

I would say that my favorite series is… right now, it is This Is Us .

If you could have dinner with any 3 people, dead or alive, who would you choose?

You didn’t specify fictional or not, so I will be taking advantage of that. I will say Indiana Jones, Dr. Ellie Sattler and Alan Turing.

Do you know what your parents would have called you if you were a girl?

They always told me they were more or less expecting it to be a boy because the first three had been boys too, but I think they had Leah as a safety name. I think I would have liked that.

When did you realize you wanted to be a paleontologist?

The first time I saw The Land Before Time, I think. I just kind of... knew, I guess.

What do you think about the flat earth society?

I think they need to read a book. Or perhaps even do a quick search on Google.

If you could stay one age to be forever, how old would you like to be?

I don’t think I would like to be one age forever, but I think right now is pretty good. But I also think 8 was good, or maybe 22.
