Ralph was a male Triceratops.

Story[]

Creation[]

Ralph was likely created inside the laboratory on Isla Sorna for Jurassic Park on the neighboring island Isla Nublar. Sometime before 1989 Ralph was transported to Isla Nubar to be housed in the Triceratops Territory attraction.

InGen Incident[]

Ralph was first spotted by Lex when "he" was eating grass outside of Lex, Tim and Dr. Grant's makeshift hideout. Despite being female, Ralph was named that way because they reminded Lex of a kid they knew from school . Later, Ralph left Lex and went with "his" mother to go look for food. Ralph was later killed during the napalm bombing.

Trivia[]

Lex riding Ralph

Concept art of Lex riding Ralph for the film

  • Ralph was stated to have no horns in the novel due to triceratops unto any not being as well known at the time of the books publication.
  • The filmmakers planned to have a scene where Lex rode a baby Triceratops (possibly Ralph) and even made an animatronic infant Triceratops for the scene, but it was cut out of the script late in production; the animatronic itself was later used for The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
