The Therizinosaurus depicted in Jurassic World Dominion is not entirely blind, but it does possess significant visual impairments that severely affect its sight.
Understanding the Therizinosaurus's Vision in Jurassic World Dominion
This particular individual dinosaur suffers from a combination of complete blindness in one eye and severe cataracts in both. This condition indicates a creature heavily reliant on other senses or adapted to its impaired vision.
Detailed aspects of its vision include:
- Right Eye: It is confirmed to be blinded in its right eye. This means it has no functional vision from this eye.
- Both Eyes: The creature has severe cataracts affecting both eyes. Cataracts cloud the lens of the eye, significantly blurring vision.
- Left Eye: While both eyes are affected by cataracts, the left eye has a less severe condition compared to the right. This suggests some limited, albeit impaired, vision might still be present in its left eye.
Confirmation by the Animation Team
The specific visual condition of the Dominion Therizinosaurus, including its blindness in one eye and severe cataracts, was explicitly confirmed by the animation team responsible for the movie. This detail provides insight into the intentional design choices for the creature's portrayal.
