You know what I want?

Potoo Velociraptors.

A Jurassic Park movie where the Velociraptors hold themselves just so, and twist, and look like chunks of log, and trees, and rocks.

And just suddenly JAWS.

Yeah.

Now THAT would be a clever girl.
This is your monthly reminder that this bird exists, and is not a muppet.
But yeah - it's more complicated than this, but anything that modern birds do, it's possible dinosaurs did.

Especially given how little soft tissue survived.

Like, this is a Pelican skeleton. Long beak, right?
This is what pelicans do with it.
There's no reason to assume, from the skeleton that Pelicans yawn by shoving their fucking spine out of their mouth.
So what about a Jurassic park movie where the raptor has a teenager just trying to punch their way out of the neck pouch is all I'm saying.
