It's not like it's hiding knives under it's feathers like a shady fake Rolex dealer in New York.A cassowary has thigh muscles that're almost as wide as its torso, gigantic blade-like claws, and jump ridiculously high. I wouldn't advise tangling with one if you fancy your intestines - give them flesh-tearing teeth, predatory inclination and pack hunting, and you essentially have yourself a Deinonychus.

Maybe spin it around and break its juicy bird thighs against a tree.

Quote from: KNIGHT on Jul 08, 2014, 12:34:33 AMQuote from: Gilfryd on Jul 08, 2014, 12:31:11 AMThe dinosaur designs will stay fixed into what people are familiar with from the first film, even if there are tweaks. Unless another big dinosaur movie on the scale of Jurassic Park comes out with feathered dinos we'll continue to see 90s post-JP designs for years to come. The Walking with Dinosaurs movie could've been that next big thing before it became kiddie crap. I think it's gonna be a LONG time before we get another JP-level dinosaur series. I can't really even think of anything that could rival it really.

With the right design, they could be pretty damn creepy.I think this is what people are forgetting - expecting that a feathered dromie would just resemble the dreaded "six foot turkey". Think about this - an iguana isn't any more inherently creepy than a parrot. It's up to the designers to find a look that works, because Jurassic Park's raptors were never automatically destined to be as menacing as they were.

So finally after much teasing I sized up a baboon behind the glass and tried to enter the enclosure from the zookeeper's entrance but was stopped by a very, VERY angry lady who told me it was dangerous. So I left.With the cassowary exhibit I guess I COULD just climb over the ledge, but it is a steeper drop into the enclosure. I'll have to do some recon.
