An angry Canada goose protecting its nest is enough
Comment on Truth hurts!

Yeah, geese are terrifying and already come with “teeth”.

Never happened with geese to me, but our local swans in attack mode got me running backwards more than once.
Hissing spread-winged furies out to kill you, or at least knock and bite the living soul out of you…

I turned our geese into attack dogs when was 3 because they liked me but no one else. This resulted in at least one instance of my uncle (moms younger brother) being chased around by five pissed off geese. I have respected feathered creatures ever since.

But velociraptors were actually about the size of medium-large dogs. When Jurrasic Park was making the models, the consultants stated the length from head to tail, and the modellers thought they were referring to height

Utahraptor is the size of the ones in the movie and was discovered the same year the movie came out. I like to think that’s what they are, but Chriton and/or Spielburg just thought “velociraptor” was a cooler name.

The book came out in 1990.

Building the animatronics, filming, and editing still take time. According to Wikipedia, filming took place entirely in 1992 and post-production ended in May 1993.

Ok, imagine a pack of very fast small cassowaries with very sharp teeth.

They’d still be large for cassowaries, just not the size of a truck.
But yes, that’d be terrifying.
