Right so another species that isn't a dinosaur. What's it doing in Jurassic World? It's essentially a giant crocodile - it's a marine reptile, so presumably it would have no problem running across land like crocodiles do.
Why are they pissing on his legacy? Every dinosaur created by the geneticists is dramatically different to the real-life dinosaurs. This is made clear several times throughout the book. There is absolutely no logic in the geneticists "designing their own" dinosaurs, especially when it's supposed to be an elaborate zoo. Who ever heard of putting genetic experiments on display at a zoo?
The plot of the Lost World - which was completely lost in the film - is that good old ruthless John Hammond (former head of the InGen corporation) had a secret island "site b" where all the dinosaurs (i.e. genetic experiments) that went wrong were studied. Also it was the true site where dinosaurs were created for the main island. Malcolm tries to takes a palaeontologist with him to search for this island (Richard Levine), following reports of strange animal carcases washing up on the main shores of Costa Rica. But Levine can't wait for Malcolm and goes to the island without him. Meanwhile, rival corporation Biosyn having failed to get the genetic material in the previous novel/film (from Dennis Nedry) sends their own team to the island to collect dinosaur eggs. In the film though, Biosyn is removed entirely and replaced with a team of mercenaries sent by InGen. Ultimately, the dinosaurs are expected to die out because of InGen's activities, but none of this is explained in the film.
So the things that both original stories shared in common were: There were two rival corporations InGen and Biosyn. The main character is Ian Malcolm. The dinosaurs, especially their behaviour, are quite different to their real-life counterparts, mainly due to not having been raised in their natural habitat. The dinosaurs don't live very long - this is an important plot point.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
