Mesmeret, they explicitly state in the TLW special features on the DVD and Bluray that TLW was showing male counterparts to the female species seen in JP. In fact, it says this in the Winston Effect book, on pg 209: ''"Whereas Jurassic Park had featured only the more blandly colored female dinosaurs, The Lost World would be populated with both female and male members of the species. 'Typically in nature', explained [Shane] Maha, 'male animals are more brightly colored than female animals. So we had to come up with color schemes that were livelier than they were in Jurassic Park for the male dinosaurs. We made the Raptors much more colorful, for example, giving them a kind of tigerish coloration." ''Also, we clearly see both sexes of Raptor working together in predatory behavior in the Worker Village (images below). No other advanced species are known to do this save for H. sapiens and Canis lupis and even then this is due to domestication, and would not occur naturally in a wild setting.









Furthermore, as I showed below, the JP1 Raptors are represented in JP/// by a listing of dino stats in the Embryonics Facility. In fact, I was capable if IDing all the animals in the listing by heightening the contrast to create better outlines of the images:

Also, there is no way that these animals were in any way "evolving". Evolution does not work that fast nor work like that at all. Evolution selects against the bad genes, and we'd have no idea what would count as "bad genes" in these animals unless we were to record them over a period of several hundred millennia.
