Hi my name is Alan Grant and I'm 40 years old and borned in 1950, I'm a paleontologist who studies and examines the bones of dinosaurs and other extinct animals. Someone named John Hammond which is very interested in dinosaurs to Isla Nublar in Costa Rica. Then I was sent there with a partner named Ellie Sattler, she's a paleobotanist. I'm so excited and can't wait to go there.
