Well, according to a passage from the 1996 book, Industrial Light + Magic: Into the Digital Realm by Mark Cotta Vaz and Patricia Rose Duigman, ILM's major task was to create 100 3D photorealistic shots of lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, monkeys, and other African animals for this film, but the greatest challenge in creating the jungle animals in Jumanji was in the capturing of the look of hair, fur, and feathers, some of the many organic materials which is nowadays no longer difficult to create in CG. According to the film's ILM art director, Doug Chiang, the success of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs was a vital step toward recreating even more complex animals at the time. You know what, The introduction of 3D photorealistically digital CG hair, fur, and feathers in the 1995 film, Jumanji, just paved the way for more photorealistically digital 3D CGI hair, fur, and feathers in later films like Disney's 1998 remake of Mighty Joe Young, Peter Jackson's 2005 remake of King Kong, and more recently, The Golden Compass, and Roland Emmerich's 10,000 BC, among others.
