[x] [Wu Next Step]Utahraptors. With the Dilophosaurus growing quickly and with only a few hiccups as they're acclimated to their handlers and the enclosure, you think that you might be able to pull this off. Probably the biggest "medium" sized carnivore that you're going to be bringing back. With the knowledge gleaned from the Dilophosaurus it should make tailoring containment and handling for the species much easier. Like the Dilophosaurus they would become big enough to see a person as prey, and if the theories about them hunting in packs are correct, you'd be looking at something as or even more dangerous to raise than lions, let alone the wolves or hyenas that these animals have been compared to.

[X][Tiny Zoo]Sounds like a good idea! There are hundreds of small dinosaurs; and it would also serve as a way for new additions to the project to "cut their teeth" so to speak. It's just a matter of figuring out which dinosaurs would be safest to use for such an attraction. It would take time to determine which species were best suited to this, but those that aren't good for general interaction could instead become a kind of equivalent to a reptile house.

[x] [Revival]Costa Rican Golden Toad. A request from the Costa Rican government regarding one of their own species.

We've handled the Dilophosaurus revival with aplomb time to deal with another major challenge. With the raptors I want as much time to work out the kinks as possible now that we actually have some experience with things that could hunt us(if improperly socialized) rather than squish us.

[X][Tiny Zoo]Sounds like a good idea! There are hundreds of small dinosaurs; and it would also serve as a way for new additions to the project to "cut their teeth" so to speak. It's just a matter of figuring out which dinosaurs would be safest to use for such an attraction. It would take time to determine which species were best suited to this, but those that aren't good for general interaction could instead become a kind of equivalent to a reptile house.

Petting Zoos can be problematic when run haphazardly but we've set our entire operation up to be good at being an actual Zoo rather than a tourist trap and data on which dinosaurs can handle social encounters with non-experts is invaluable information to have when you are the first and last source on how the hell these animals actually behave

We're going to need to confront him eventually but forewarned is forearmed.

While I've brought up future votes and voting options I think that the Spinosaurus should probably be what we revive after the Raptors because it's another example of an all hands on deck revival (if for entirely different reasons). The Iguanadon and other "Iconic but Easy" revivals should probably be saved for closer to opening day.

Edit: Once we've revived the Spinosaurus it won't just be our second Iconic big predator but our second Iconic "Nature threw us a curve ball" Revival with Dilophosuarus which is the kind of thing that could have major appeal within the Park while proving that the Diophosaurus situation isn't just a one off.

It would also probably be a good idea to figure out what dinosaur will be in its "teething" phase as the Park is being opened and whether or not we want to have parts of its rearing be open to the public to drum up further interest the same way baby Pandas are used as free advertising.

(Having a means of showing off newly revived dinosaurs could be a way for us to maintain interest once the parks gotten a bit long in the tooth)

@TempestK Regarding petting zoo, could we start with a small scale test run first, to see how dinos handle it and then choose to continue or abort depending on results?

I agree with many other posters that the utahraptor revival needs to have plenty of time to be refined before ever considering putting humans near them.

I disagree on the subject of a petting zoo though, on the basis that if anyone is actually going to do it right, it's the zookeeper that is beholden to neither meddlesome people nor an underwhelming budget, and can implement it in exactly the way they think is optimal for the healthy and safety for the animals as well as the humans; usually the issues with this kind of thing are born of ignorance, cut corners, or meddling by people who want to make more money, and that simply isn't a factor we have to deal with in this situation.

Since there's no notable urgency for any of the revival animals, but the golden toad is at the greatest proportional risk of extinction, and is also a boon to the government that allowed us the islands, I think that's an appropriate choice this time. On a less practical note, I just thing amphibians are neat, and the golden toad looks gorgeous.

As for Peter, the fact that this was seemingly out of character for him almost certainly means that there's something else going on here. We've already seen corpo espionage bare its vicious face, so it behooves us to learn more about the situation. We already know that his attempt to sink his hooks into his target failed, so this is a safer option than it might seem, and learning whoever is nudging him would be incredibly valuable information.

Is there a significant difference at this point between Wu and Sorkin when it comes to dino revival? For example would Sorkin strive to be as "true to life" as possible while Wu would be more inclined to mad science to get it to work? I've just kind of been assuming...

At this point no, they've hit the sweet spot between their techniques, but Elliot keeps cycling them to prevent burnout since the Revivals tend to be more varied in challenge than the dinosaurs. Wu has come to understand more where Sorkin is coming from thanks to being involved in the socialization process, while Sorkin has seen that in order to get what they need sometimes tweaks are necessary purely for the sake of the health and comfort of the animals.

@TempestK while these species aren't extinct they are critically endangered while also having potential medical benefits, so could be add to list?

1. Pangolin the only mammals with scales and whose blood can transmit diseases with humans, the most trafficked animal in world due to traditional Chinese medicine involving scales.
2. Axolotl are cute and their powerful natural regeneration ability, to point they can regrow parts of their brain, mean they are highly valued by scientific community, but are critically endangered since only live in a few lakes in Mexico City, which degrade more and more over time.

Oh, also could we make more complex enrichment toys? Like things that simulate hunting more and more? Puzzle toys that reward thinking like rolling a ball a certain way till a treat falls out? Maybe even advanced critical thinking puzzles to test intelligence?

Could lead to shows where zookeepers have smarter and more calm dinosaurs preform tricks for crowds.

We should totally take pictures and videos of animals playing to sell them to tourists too since we exist in time before live streaming.

And random thought, but has anyone attempted to ride one of revived species yet? Cause you know tourists will ask if it's possible to ride a terror bird due to FF, lol.

I've gotten enthused for the "save-Iguanodon-for-an-anniversary-date" idea, and I think a few posters have said that some will be coming up in a few years, so I'll choose this one.

I was initially leaning towards no, but I was swayed by the argument that if anyone can work out a way to do this petting zoo idea right, it would be the zookeeper that puts the health of his animals first. And if he didn't think it was a good idea, he'd have vetoed it right off the bat like the mosasaur enclosure.

Plus, this is still the testing phase. If the petting Zoo turns out to be infeasible or too risky in a trial run, we can still put a hold on the idea.
