Rather, Hammond invited the scientists to fool them as to the veracity of InGen's "cloned dinos" story, because if these experts believed the dinosaurs were real, so would the public. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) was part of the ruse because the scientists weren't meant to sign off on the safety of Jurassic Park as they were led to believe. The theory goes on to suggest that Hammond hiring Dr. Therefore, the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park aren't actually clones but a series of genetic experiments, and the dinosaur theme park itself was a way for John Hammond to bilk the public and profit from showing the world "real dinosaurs". For instance, science now knows that many real dinosaurs had feathers, a velociraptor was the size of a chimpanzee, and a dilophosaurus doesn't spit acid.

In the real world, genetically engineering dinosaurs using InGen's methods isn't possible, but the Jurassic Park fan theory makes a case that InGen also knew it couldn't be done and that John Hammond's (Richard Attenborough) explanation for how he made dinosaurs was an elaborate cover story. There would also have been multiple DNA samples mixed from multiple dinosaurs a mosquito drank from, so the odds of finding a mosquito carrying the DNA of a single species of dinosaur are staggering. Ever since the film was released, scientists have argued how Jurassic Park is filled with dinosaur mistakes. First, any DNA in a mosquito would have degraded over 65 million years. The ancient pests drank dino blood and InGen took the dino DNA from the insects, filling in the gaps in the genetic code with amphibian DNA to create Jurassic Park's original 15 dinosaurs species. The pseudo-science in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and Michael Crichton's original novel states that InGen cloned dinosaurs from DNA harvested from mosquitoes that were preserved in amber. Of course, Jurassic Park is fiction and cloned dinosaurs don't exist in the real world, but the fan theory put forth in 2013 by Redditor Browmra04 argues that in-universe, Jurassic Park's prehistoric creations weren't clones made from dinosaur DNA but amalgamations made from different animals that were built to resemble what people think dinosaurs look like.

A Jurassic Park fan theory postulates that all of the dinosaurs in the blockbuster film saga are fake.
