MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2014 2:03 PMReel Tours Hawaii never ceases to amaze me. They got some really good pictures of the new paddock.

Inside:
If you look closely at some of the pictures, it looks like our new dinosaur doesn't take to being enclosed too well
So what do you guys think? A Special thanks to Reel Tours Hawaii

MemberTyrannosaurus RexMay-19-2014 2:24 PMLooks like something a mid sized predator would be placed in. Perhaps in the range of Carnotaurus to Allosaurus for size.

MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2014 3:14 PMat first i thought it might be a raptor enclosure, but i could see allo/ carno in it

MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2014 3:27 PMIt could house anything from a small to mid-sized theropod. Still I hope more info on the new dinosaur will come to life, at least in the size department. Knowing if this is a large or small animal tell of its danger for if they are using an pen this big with such high walls on a small theropod I done want to be anywhere near it.

MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2014 4:49 PMI hope the new dinosaur is an allosaurus or a carnotaurus those are some of my favorite dinos

MemberCompsognathusMay-19-2014 4:53 PMCool pics. I could see a medium sized dinosaur in there. Ceratosaurus perhaps.

MemberAllosaurusMay-19-2014 6:12 PMYah, I must agree and say that a medium sized dinosaur would be placed there. Still, these pictures are interesting.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2014 7:10 AMI'm guessing Carnotaurus, for the simple reason that if it was a Troodon/Jp Velociraptor Enclosure there would be a far higher amount of foliage.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2014 9:14 AMI'm going to guess something in the Carnotaurus to Allosaurus size range.
At first its tough to estimate the scale of this, but going off of the human sized door to the interior, the wall is around 35 ft. at its highest point...definitely suffcient to house a medium sized therapod.
Then you have the scratch marks and their relative size and height....definitely no Velociraptor. Definitely no Carnotaurus either....Carnotaurus has small stubby arms with 2 fingered hands...couldn't not have made those marks. Nor would I expect Carnotaurus to be tall enough to make those marks.
Allosaurus, for one, would be completely believable. The 3 fingered scratch marks, their size and height, all work within the context of an Allosaurus.
So here is the million dollar question: Why is an Allosaurus being kept in a fishbowl sized enclosure? Allosaurus was (presumbaly) not the wildly agile or uncontrollable specimen that Velociraptor turned out to be (which is why the Velociraptors were kept in a holding pen). So why wouldn't Allosaurus have his/her own range paddock like the Tyrannosaur and every other species?
Notice how this enclosure is a perfect example of lesson-learned: No electric fences that depend on power as the only means of blockade. Solid concrete walls make much more sense.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2014 10:35 AMAlso notice it only has two sides, but that makes sense if the shots they needed only point in a certain direction.

MemberCompsognathusMay-20-2014 11:59 AMOr it only needed two sides because they could probably be expanding it using cgi!
