He hasspent $17 million buying amber and he owns an islandnear Costa Rica. One of the companies he owns iscalled Gennaro works for InGen s lawyers. Grant gaveGennaro information about how dinosaurs lived, andabout dinosaur eggs and young Because the x-ray looked like a young they lived in the Triassic period, more than 200 million years To find out if Morris has been to see him.

And a paleon-tologist, a paleobotanist and a The island is divided into several sections. Betweenthem there are roads, and there are concrete moatsand electric fences between these roads and the sec-tions. The roads are high up so anyone on a road couldsee over the fences into the sections. The map of theisland looks like the map of a Gennaro, Grant, Ellie and Malcolm, a The Biosyn Corporation wants him to steal someembryos from Isla Nublar. Biosyn will pay him$1500000 to steal them.

And whether anydinosaurs will be able to escape from the Hammond s grandchildren, Tim and Lex Because Gennaro and the experts are there to see ifthe island is safe. No one should be there to take a hol-iday. Gennaro says the children might be in John Arnold, the chief engineer and Robert Muldoon,the park Dinosaur They repair the broken DNA Dinosaur embryos are put into special Wu says there are 238 live dinosaurs.

The pieces of shell are from a velociraptor s are now 37 raptors instead of 8, and they arevery dangerous Regis, Tim and Lex are in the first land-cruiser. Malcolmand Grant are in the Hammond wanted more changes to the computer sys-tem, but would not pay him any more money. So Nedryhates Hammond. And the man from Biosyn has offeredhim $1500000 to steal the He is unable to find the east dock and gets lost. He willnot get to the east dock in time to meet the The dilophosaur spits at him. The spit gets into his cannot see, and the pain is so bad that he falls tothe ground.
