Dino 'Vet' Talks JP3 Dinosaurs

He goes on to say, "You're going to see Pteranodons [a breed of flying dinosaur] in this, which are entirely another level of technical difficulty because we are dealing with a combination of animatronics, men in suits [and] wings that are beyond what we've done in the other movies,".
