If you've ever seen The Lion King 1 1/2 you'd know that he has to be a Meerkat because he lives with his Meerkat clan at the beginning. Also, the beginning of this movie begins in the Meerkats native range but after an incident he caused with hyenas, Timon travels to wherever the original movie took place (well actually to that jungle place). The movie also reveils that when all the animals bowed for Simba in the first movie, they were really fainting at Pumbaa's farts
You could say that pretty much the entire Jurassic Park movies were zoological movie malpractice because many of the animals didn't really live together (very few were actually from the Jurassic in the 1st movie) and they exagerated the sizes for some of the animals (i.e. the Velociraptors). Also, as far as I know of, Brachiosaurus couldn't stand on their hind legs.
The fact that they use modern food, medical practices, and techniques on the Extinct animals in Prehistoric Park could also be viewed as such. Not to mention the fact that they had a Woolly Mammoth as part of an African Bush Elephant herd.
You make a good point with the capuchin in Egypt, though I doubt that those monkeys would be spies and work for Nazis.
I've heard lots of facts about the Well Of The Souls scene including that there are lots of cut-up hosepipes and bits of rope scattered amongst the snakes to fill in the gaps, that there are (obviously) lots of foreign snakes in the scene including reticulated pythons, boa constrictors and garter snakes, and that there are depictions of RD-D2 and C3-PO in the hieroglyphics in the background, but I'd never heard the scheltopusik one before. So I had a quick check and there are indeed a lot of legless lizards in there. There's even one right next to the (non-Egyptian) cobra [picture attached below]!
well there's two schools of thought on that one (assuming you are talking about Temple Of Doom). One is that the movie was pretending that the fruit bats shown actually were "giant vampire bats". Two is that Indiana was just saying that to scare Willy but he knew quite well they were harmless fruit bats. Three (oh look, I guess three schools of thought!) is that Indiana didn't know anything about bats and did actually think they were giant vampire bats.
I thought they pushed it too far when they made the movie.ThylacineAlive said:
When are they going to stop milking that cow. The Star Wars animals were cool, though.
the ants were just one tiny piece of refuse that made up the entire dung-heap that was Indiana Jones 4! Actually those giant ants really did annoy me because they were just so stupid and imaginary. The three good Indiana Jones movies made effective use of actual real animals. Why just go and invent something for the fourth one?! Then there was goddamn Shia Labeouf swinging through the goddamn trees on goddamn vines like goddamn Tarzan with a bunch of goddamn CGI monkeys!! It was like they just kept piling crap onto crap in the hope that when you got to the aliens at the end your brain would be so numb that you wouldn't even notice!!
There was also a CGI prairie dog next in Jone's fridge pod after the nuclear bomb went off. That was certainly realistic
