what's the lesson to be learned here? ellie @ alan
back and forth, the animal paced. agitation present in the quickened breath blowing a plume of steam from its nostrils. though harmless to them, the hadrosaur was dangerous in weight. weighing anywhere from fifteen thousand to eighteen thousand, an agitated quick step would cause serious harm to either of them or their staff. getting it off of the remnants of sorna was no easy task. the retrieval team had been hunted, stalked and watched from the jungles that surrounded long forgotten facilities. itโs enclosure, produced to match its prehistoric conditions and environment, was waiting for the hadrosaurโhowever they couldnโt release it into the herd with its current state.ย his gaze is torn away from the animal, settling on ellie.
โa caged animal is a dangerous creature.โ
a lesson hammond should have learned long before he decided to play the role of god and return the dinosaurs to the world of the living. returning them to a world that wasnโt designed for themโuntil now. โour only option is to tranq her , then move her into the hadrosaur paddock with the herd. being surrounded by the proper environment and with their numbers, should calm her down enough that she will integrate with the herd just fine.โย
the contact on first arrival was limited, but in the hadrosaurโs case, they had little choice. alan knew, if she became too stressed they would have disastrous consequences. with the sanctuary coming together perfectly, the change in the animal behavior wasโฆ interesting. they were calm, all of their needs met and not used for amusement and money. they were not given a choice to be where they were. all they could do was try to make it easier on them.ย
โif you want to get her set up, iโll get the transport ready to take her to paddock thiry-two. wasnโt there a few hatchlings in the incubation lab ready to be released into the herd? The remainder of the clutch from nublar?โ he questions, remembering they had several clutches from the old facility lab hammond left behind after his demise. โgregory mentioned it earlier after vetting the new pilot.โ
paperwork in hand, he looks it over. โvets are needed in paddock fourteen. one of the parasaurs is lethargic.โย he rubs his temple briefly. โwe will also need to head back to the mainland soon. we have that lecture coming up at the university.โย
