Didja Know?

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is a CG-animated TV series that aired on the Netflix streaming service from 2020-2022 for five seasons and one special. While the first couple of episodes take place before and during the events of Jurassic World, the rest of them take place shortly after that film, and about three years before the events of Fallen Kingdom. Netflix is currently producing episodes of a sequel series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, whose first season began in May 2024.

   Each episode of the series opens with the words "A Netflix Original Series" over what appears to be a T. rex footprint in the jungle mud. 

    The Universal Pictures logo that appears after this is altered from the usual to have the Earth globe with a continent that looks very roughly like the supercontinent Pangaea may have looked in the Triassic-Jurassic periods of the Mesozoic era, 200-150 million years ago.

    As the Universal Earth globe spins, a second "continent" seen is actually a stylized DreamWorks Pictures logo (a boy sitting with a fishing pole on the crescent Moon), followed by the Amblin Entertainment logo.

The dinosaur that bursts out of the bursts out of the Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous gates at the beginning of the opening titles of each episode is a Tyrannosaurus rex, possibly the infamous Rexy herself, but we don't see its right side close enough to see if it has Rexy's raptor scars incurred in Jurassic Park.

Didja Notice? 

In an attempt to distract Mitch, Yasmina asks him what is his favorite color, favorite food, and favorite color of food. This is the same question Sammy asked her in "The Cattle Drive", where she received the classic answer, "Orange, orange, and orange." In the novelization, it is Sammy (again) who asks Mitch the question.

Seen from a distance, the table in Mitch and Tiff's yurt has three mugs sitting on it. But when seen up close with Darius, the table has only two mugs.

The dino head Darius sees covered up with a tarp is revealed in the novelization to be that of a Sinoceratops.

Hap mocks the kids for using Windsor knots to tie him up. This is a type of knot to tie a necktie.

Brooklyn claims she once punched a hammerhead in Hawaii.

The "birthday guy" Brooklyn mentions as the person who previously possessed the key card she has is the late Eddie from "Happy Birthday, Eddie!".

At about 4:33 in the episode, the symbol of the Rod of Asclepius is seen on a crate in the park garage. The Rod of Asclepius is associated with healing and medicine.

Mitch and Tiffany arm themselves with what appear to be customized Remington 700 rifles for their dino hunt. 

Just as Mitch informs Tiff in this episode, the thagomizer is the arrangement of four spikes on the tail of a Stegosaurus. The name came from a joke in a 1982 The Far Side comic strip and gradually came to be used somewhat commonly, even, at times, by scientists.

Notes from the junior novelization Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous - The Deluxe Junior Novelization Volume Two by Steve Behling Cover illustration by Patrick Spaziante 2020 Chapters 20-24 cover the events of this episode.

Didja Notice? 

In the novelization, Ben explains that he landed in a lake when he fell from the monorail, and crawled to shore. In the televised episode, he hit the ground instead, though his fall had been slowed by the Pteranodon grabbing at him and by tree branches.

On page 93, Darius sees hunting rifles and ACU stun spears in one of Mitch and Tiff's yurts. ACU stands for "Asset Containment Unit".
