Towards the end of The Lost World, after the Cargo ship runs aground in California, police officers rush aboard the ship to see if anyone's hurt. They only find the ship to be a 'ghost' ship, aside from the male T-Rex. All the crew had been eaten or killed. The black police officer walks into the bridge to find a severed hand still hanging onto the wheel of the ship. A couple of questions I'd like to have answered arise from this. 1. Crew eaten? by what? -- I know the male T-Rex was to big to get in there. The baby was sent by plane earlier so it wasn't him.

2. Could it have been by velociraptors or pterodactyls? -- not very feasible since the raptors are nowhere to be found and the pterodactyls don't leave the island, or we assume that. I doubt the ship would have been on exactly the precise heading, so precise that they could have lined the ship up with the dock, thousands of miles away right from the start of their voyage, only to have the pterodactyls kill them off, and have the ship travel those thousands of miles with no crew. Someone please explain this. I'm clueless.
