Jurassica Parka in November 2021Jurassica Parka, born as Mario Olszinski (17 October 1979 in Berlin-Neukölln), is a German drag queen who works as a television presenter, entertainment artist, author, and YouTuber.

Mario Olszinski was born on 17 October 1979 in Berlin-Neukölln and resides in Berlin. He has openly identified himself as homosexual since he was 19. He studied communication design and worked at the advertising agency Scholz & Friends in the early years. Until 2024, Olszinski worked as a graphic artist at the publishing house Special Media SDL, which publishes the queer magazine Siegessäule among others.

In October 2025, it became known that Olszinski had been legally sentenced in 2023 to a fine of 160 daily rates of 70 euros each for the distribution of child pornography materials. The offence dated back to 2021. According to a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office, Olszinski had uploaded several images in the form of a collage to Twitter. Information on who was depicted in those images was not made available.

In May 2026, the Berlin public prosecutor's office brought charges against Olszinski on suspicion of possessing child and youth pornographic content. He was accused of keeping inappropriate image and video files on several electronic devices in his apartment in July 2025. A total of 131 files was allegedly found on multiple notebooks, hard drives, a Mac and an iPhone. The investigation began based on a report from the U.S.-based National Center for Missing & Exploited Children linked to an IP address used online which led to the search of Olszinski's apartment. Olszinski initially did not comment on the allegations. The district court at Tiergarten would decide on whether to admit the charges and open the main proceedings, until which the presumption of innocence applied.
