Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

It's always interesting to see how two countries who theoretically share a language can end up using such different terms for things. For example, in Britain we say "pavement," whereas Americans say "sidewalk." We refer to the storage area at the back of a car as the "boot," but Americans say "trunk." We call a place where you fire rifles at targets a "shooting range," while Americans go with the shorter "school." Vive la différence.

Speaking of school it's weird how your public schools are our private schools.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

They were schools the general public were allowed to pay to send their kids to, as opposed to being schools established specifically to train new priests for the Church and stuff, back when 'publicly run by the state for free' schools were a laughable crazy communist idea.
