BIOGRAPHY

RELATIONS

alan grant is a world-renowned paleontologist, first seen at the dig site explaining the similarities of velociraptor anatomy to those of modern birds. in his trailer, grant is invited by john hammond, founder and ceo of ingen, to a theme park he built called jurassic park on the island of isla nublar. grant and his partner ellie sattler accept the offer, in return of a further three years of dig funding.

soon after grant and sattler arrive in isla nublar, grant is astonished and left speechless by the sight of a living, breathing brachiosaurus. the group is shown in the visitor center how dinosaur dna was extracted for cloning, before they witness the birth of a velociraptor, much to grant's concern.
