Celebrating the China release of epic dinosaur flick Jurassic Park 3D, photos showing off labor-intensive origami dinosaurs and dragons have popped up across the Chinese internet, some of which require tens of hours to make.    

Most of the snapshots were uploaded on Zhezhiba, a sub-forum on Baidu devoted to paper folding, which boasts nearly 200,000 members, reported the Chongqing Economic Times on September 11.

Xia Tian, the moderator of the sub-forum, explains it took him 20 hours to finish his intricate paper-saurus, while some Western-style dragons involve more than 300 separate folds.

Xia added that most forum members are high school students, some of which have become paper-folding masters capable of amazing art that will never go extinct.

Jurassic Park 3D hit Chinese IMAX theaters on August 23 and raked in a reported $28 million at the box office during its first weekend, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
