I was in a dinopark recently and there were some bone replicas, footprints etc. and I was constantly like "how the hell didn't the scientists see that it's just a giant chicken?"

Some of it is extremely obvious.

The only scientifically accurate scene in Jurassic Park has a little boy say the velociraptor looks like a turkey. They knew dinosaurs were chickens, they just didn't bother showing us in movies.

They retconned Jurassic park saying the skin was like that because of the genes they had to splice up in order to bring them back to life.

Not that weird, considering they already had that in the original movie. Frog DNA.
