Chapter 13
*Raptor Pen*
Shrieks!!!...Growling!!!
"Dr Grant!"
Everyone try to follow after Alan as he rush up the stairs of a large pen, onto the long walkway wrapped around it.
Panting...Panting...
"As I was saying, we've laid on lunch for you before you set out into the park, our gourmet chef Alejandro..." John before being interrupted.
"What're they doing?" Alan asked, pointing at something.
"Oh"
John smiled, "feeding time" he stated.
"Alejando is preparing a delightful menu for us: Chilean sea bass, I believe" he informed.
"Shall we?" he asked, pointing to the way out.
The group didn't listen as they watches the cow being killed.
Snarling...Noises...Squealing...
Trees shaking violently, "Well...That's disturbing" Olivia said in disgust.
"I, uh, agree" Sara agree with the woman, nodding her head.
"They should be destroyed"
Everyone turn to see a man standing there, Laugh
"Robert, Robert Muldoun, my game warden from Kenya" John introduce him to the group.
"A bit of a alarmist, I'm afraid, but knows more about raptors than anyone" he states, happily.
"Alan" the man told Robert his name, introduce himself as the two shake hands.
"Tell me, what their metabolism? What's their growth rate?" he asked with eager as Robert leaned back against the railing.
"They're lethal at eight months" Robert answered.
"And I so mean lethal. I've hunted most things that can hunt you, but the way these things move..." Robert trailed off.
"Fast for a biped?" Aaron questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Cheetah speed" Robert stated.
"...'bout fifty or sixty miles per hour if they ever got out in the open. And they're astonishing jumpers" he said.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's why we're taking extreme precaution" John assure the group.
"Anyway, the, ah, the viewing area underhere..." he tried to say before Alan cuts him off.
"Do they show intelligence?" he ask Robert, curiously.
"They're extremely intelligent. Even problem solving. Especially The Big One. We bred eight originally, but when she came in, she took over the pride and killed all. But two of the others. That one, when she looks at you, you can see she's working things out. That's why we have to feed them like this. She had them all attacking the fences when the feeders came" Robert explained.
"But the fences are electrified though, right?" Ellie asked.
"That's right" Robert confirmed.
"But they never attack the same place twice" he stated before looking at the pen.
"They were testing the fences for weakness systematically, they remember..." Robert said as the crane lift the harness back up.
But it was completely destroyed and covered in blood, Gasp!
Rosie instantly cower into her dad as Alan immediately comfort his daughter.
They can see that there's nothing left of the cow, Yes, well, who's hungry?" John asked.
