In what feels like a sequence from one of the newer Jurassic World films, a Florida woman apparently caught footage of what she believes to be a baby dinosaur in her front yard. The recording was taken by a security camera and, as is the case with these types of situations, features the blurry image of a small unidentifiable creature running about. It lasts only for a few seconds and presents enough screen time for the creature that social media has generated plenty of speculation. As for the woman who caught the recording, however, she insists that it has to be that of a baby dinosaur.
As you can see for yourself in the footage:
Welcome to Jurassic World?

The Florida woman who caught the footage, Cristina Ryan, had this to say via Fox 35:
“Any animal we can come up with that would be ‘walking’ at 3:40 in the morning, wouldn’t walk this way. Maybe I’ve watched ‘Jurassic Park’ too many times, but I see a raptor or other small dinosaur!”
She further insists that it would “make no sense” for the creature to be something like a large bird. No, she much rather sticks to her theory that the creature is simply a baby dinosaur – or raptor as she suggests.
“Some say a large bird, but that makes no sense, since whatever it is appears to have front legs. So not sure? Lol. I’m sticking with raptor myself.”
At a time when various scientists are technological innovators are saying they will soon be able to re-create dinosaurs – it seems easy to theorize what Cristina Ryan saw was one such creature. But, as of this moment, it seems much more likely to be some other non-extinct animal. In any case, it’s a fun bit of footage to analyze, and there’s certainly plenty of fun to be had in suggesting that it could be a living dinosaur walking among us. But until Elon Musk manages to build his very own Jurassic Park, we’ll probably have to assume that this merely was some other type of creature.
