Jurassic Park: New Blood

Reader mode
[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. While efforts would be made to reintroduce the amphibian to its known home range, the officials you spoke with seemed more intent on ensuring that there were breeding pairs spread to zoos throughout the world to ensure that it never dies out again even in the face of habitat loss.

[X][Ludlow]Look into him. Peter's not someone that would normally make such a risky move. What's changed? Keep things looking normal while you have your team investigate him to see what shifted the balance

Zoo specifically due to QM comment regarding it being a test first.

[X][Revival] Pinta Island Tortoise. The Ecuadorian Government has reached out to you in regards to revitalizing the Galapagos Islands ecosystem. Specifically by breeding new generations of the Pinta Island Tortoise to replenish the numbers ravaged by sailors, rats and disease over the years.

[X][Tiny Zoo]It may not be a good idea... While there are dozens of zoos that offer similar attractions, you're not sure if having a "petting zoo" would be a good idea. A lot of the smaller therapods probably would get overstressed by the constant attention, and frankly you need to think of the health of the animals.

[X][Wu Next Step]Iguanodon. The OG dinosaur, the one whose discovery kicked off the birth of paleontology as a science, as well as birthing the science of reconstructing dead species. A large herbivore with thumb-like spikes that were originally mistaken for being a horn-like growth similar to the Rhinoceros Iguana, the current mostly-agreed upon theory is that they were instead habitual quadrupedal creatures that rose up on their strong hind legs when they needed to fight or reach something high up, much like modern bears.

I think the petting zoo should be fine given how we built but just saying no for dinosaur health. Also gonna give Wu the original dinosaur but probably should start on more carnivores soon. Also want to see what kiddos is up to.

So I notice that you said the dilophosaurs liked Cabot because they don't spit venom at him but in the next scene Red hits the glass right in front of Cabot as a prank... so... what? Do they understand the concept of glass? That puts them ahead of most birds. Maybe you could have Red deliberately aim high?

They understand the concept of glass because it's something that they've known since birth. That there are some barriers that are shiny and mostly see-through that they can't get through. The observation deck even more so, because it's got some tinting to keep the guests from having to deal with too much glare. So they knew that there was something in the way, and they've done the same thing a few other times when there were keepers in the observation room. So it's learned observation.

There are some ground-level observation bays as well, and those are the ones where they like to get their jollies doing jump scares.

[X] [Wu Next Step]Pachycephalosaurus. These unique dinosaurs with their heavily armored skulls would make for an interesting addition to the park. If the supposition about them using those skulls akin to the hons of Bighorn sheep were true then they'd make for excellent entertainment for the guests during the breeding seasons. As well as allow them to co-exist with some of the larger species of herbivores.

[X] [Ludlow] Confront him. Fuck it, and fuck all the corporate bullshit. Bring him out to Matanceros and confront him there while his family is enjoying the Revival Ranch. Take the initiative and ask him point-blank what the hell his game is.

Whilst I do have my doubts about the Petting Zoo's viability and liability, after some thinking about it and with the revelation that it is going to go through testing; I've decided to change my Petting Zoo vote from bad idea to good idea.

    Well, we have clear winners in every task, but there is a tie with the Petting Zoo
     
    So the petting zoo is a tie? Can we make it a small batch zookeeper curated animal encounter instead? I'd vote yes to that.

    Example I was at the aquarium of the pacific in long beach in a small seating area with like twenty other people and an employee brought out a small penguin, talked about the penguin, its name, personality quirks, some penguin facts... then a few at a time we got to go up and... well I don't remember if we were allowed to touch it or not. I was smol at the time. Felt like a big deal.

    Looking at the aquarium website now the penguin encounter is a lot different than I remember. Much more restricted (and expensive).

    Well, acvording to @TempestK "Sounds like a good idea" vote already includes curating the idea andiscatdrd it immediately if the animals become to stressed...

    I'll do a runoff vote.

    I like the idea of this but we gotta screen animals that have any dangerous instincts considering they are gonna be dealing with children.
