A koala 'roar' in Jurassic Park? Hollywood filmmakers have made some weird animal choices

You're no longer in the jungle. You're back in your lounge room thinking, "what the hell is a kookaburra doing in South America?"

You may have already spotted a few yourself, but here, in no particular order, are some of Hollywood's most ridiculous — sometimes justifiably so — faunal flights of fancy. Strap in, we're going to the movies.You might have already guessed, but the description above was for 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark — the first in Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones series.

"They wanted something different, something that would excite the American audience — something exotic. So [the sound guy] said 'how about a kookaburra?' And they said 'what's that?'"It wasn't the first or the last film to include the Australian bird though. The Wizard of Oz, Cape Fear and Tarzan are just a few more examples.Don't skip ahead. You'll miss heaps of good stuff.

Which is more than can be said for many Hollywood producers of the past, who have inadvertently created the modern sound designer's dilemma: the "coconut effect".

Maybe the dinosaur was on strike? After all getting audio of one is a bit hard.
