Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the "rich kid" scientist that teams up with Ian Malcolm to study the "Lost World"?

Answer: Richard Levine

Levine was the heir to the Americana Doll fortune. Sarah and Doc were both along on the journey. Dodgson was the greedy researcher from Biosyn. This book wasn't quite as good as "Jurassic Park", but it was still exciting.
2. What connection did Arby and Kelly have to the members of the expedition?

Answer: They were Levine's assistants

Levine had R.B. (Arby) and Kelly assist him as he was planning the trip. In the movie they eliminated Arby completely and made Kelly Malcolm's daughter.
3. In the novel "Jurassic Park" Ian Malcolm was thought to have been killed.

Answer: True

This really irritated me when I read "The Lost World". At the beginning of "The Lost World", Ian says that tales of his death were greatly exaggerated, and that he had only been in a coma for several weeks.
4. Who is the first victim mentioned by name in "The Lost World"?

Answer: Diego

Diego was Levine's guide. He didn't last very long.
5. What African animal is Sarah Harding studying at the beginning of the book?

Answer: hyenas

Right before Malcolm and Thorne call her to fly to Costa Rica, she is studying the hunting habits of the hyena.
6. On which island is "The Lost World" located?

Answer: Isla Sorna

Isla Sorna was part of the five islands in a chain called The Five Deaths. Seems like an appropriate name.
7. Dodgson tried to kill Sarah Harding on the way to the island.

Answer: Yes

Dodgson told Sarah he was a friend of Malcolm's and offered her a ride to the island. As they were nearing, he shoved her off the boat.
8. Which of these dinosaurs didn't try to harm members of the expedition?

Answer: Maiasaurus

Maiasarus means "good mother lizard", and though they attacked the car to retrieve their babies, they didn't go after anyone on the expedition.
9. In "Jurassic Park" the Tyrannosaurus couldn't see things that didn't move. Was this true in "The Lost World"?

Answer: No

Here's another instance in which Crichton was inconsistent. In "The Lost World" they make a big deal about how people were stupid to believe the Tyrannosaur couldn't see anything that stayed still, yet that was exactly what happend in "Jurassic Park".
10. Who brought the injured Tyrannosaur infant back to the trailers?

Answer: Eddie

Eddie couldn't shoot the injured infant, so he brought it back to the trailer.
11. Who gets trapped in the attack cage and rolled off by the Velociraptors?

Answer: Arby

Arby fell off the high hide and hid inside the attack cage. Unfortunately, the Velociraptors rolled him off to their nest.
12. Who finds a secret tunnel out of the convenience store just in time to rescue everyone from the attacking Velociraptors?

Answer: Kelly

Kelly was at the computer desk trying to find a map when she realizes there has to be a place under the building to store the computer cables.
13. Which of these people don't make it off the island?

Answer: Eddie

Eddie fell off the high hide and was immediately killed by the Velociraptors. Ian was seriously injured, but survived. Perhaps Crichton learned his lesson about killing off major characters.
14. Who goes out to find the Explorer and runs into Lewis Dodgson?

Answer: Sarah

Sarah found the Explorer, but it was surrounded by Pachycephalosaurs. Then Dodgson shows up, hoping to steal the car. But before he can do that, he is carried off by the Tyrannosaur. In the book, Sarah was a stronger, more independent character than in the movie.
15. What was causing the infection that killed off many of the adult dinosaurs?

Answer: prions

Ian realized that the dinosaurs were infected with prions after learning that InGen used ground-up sheep extract to feed the dinosaurs.
