Dinosaurs Bon Appetit

Your Feature Request / Idea
Dear fellow park visitors,

In terms of natural selection, the goat can be an excellent source of protein for carnivore dinosaurs. However, has any scientist ever considered that carnivores could be fickle for their taste? Maybe during the next update, there should be a tab feature under the "live bait feeder" button to give options of different species.

On the menu:

- Pigs, or walking ham, that act exactly like goats for carnivores to hunt.
- Chickens, flightless birds that are easy for carnivores to catch.
- Fish clusters that you could spread in lakes that carnivores like Baryonyx and Suchomimus could fish for.
- Large game like Buffalo that would be so exciting to watch for a T-Rex to chase and maybe even raptors to hunt in packs with. (Maybe even result in a new hunt animation where raptors hunt in packs!)

As caretakers for the park, one of our most important responsibilities is to keep the animals fed constantly. Moreover, it should also be a considerable principle for our creatures to be treated like housed and comfortable guests, free to choose what they want to hunt, compared to what a guest would choose to eat when observing a carnivore up close.
 
The only live bait suggestion you got that I agree on is the fish clusters, considering it was featured in Jurassic Park:The Game & in the Jurassic Park Novel, although not in the movies(considering the fishes in JP3 (Bonitos) were free-roaming & not specifically used as live bait).
The downsides is that the current water mechanic is that the water pools are not deep enough, & that it requires a new set of hunting mechanics just for a select few carnivores, as well as being too small.

The rest:
Pig/Walking Ham = Was not in either the film or movies.
Chickens = Same as above, plus they're too small.
Buffalo = while larger than the rest, they're not seen in the movies or even novels. Unless you meant the African Buffalo, which was seen in Jurassic Park being fed to the raptors.

Pigs are being fed to the raptors in Jurassic World and a buffalo is fed to the raptors in JP1. So that's some weird arguments when they in fact are portrait in the movies...

That 1 pig wasn't actually used to feed the raptor, but rather as bait/lure for their training as they chased it. They were fed white rats though. If that 1 pig is really used as food for the raptors, why bother going through the hassle in recapturing it? Doesn't make sense. I usually take it as a matter of presumption.

Buffalo as a word is ambiguous. It can be the American Buffalo or Bison, Water Buffalo, or the African Buffalo which I stated. Would have been better if the OP specified which buffalo he meant.

Well it's pretty obvious the rats are a reward and used as a snack. It's def not their food source. And just because they use the pig to get the raptors to Owen doesn't mean it's not a food source. Don't tell me you expect the pig to outrun the raptors every time...

And does it really matter what kind of subspecies buffalo? Doesn't matter at all. We just need other food sources.

Again, its a presumption that the raptors were fed pigs.

Uhh, yeah, It's the same as saying, "Lets have some fish for the dinos", where there's a ton of different kinds of fish to choose from.

Yeah and it doesn't matter at all to the gameplay what kind of fish it is...

Okay then, since it doesn't matter what kind of fish it is, then I'd like a Whale shark as part of the fish-eating dinos menu. Since a whale shark is a fish.

Sure why not. They used sharks in JW.

And we all know it’s not a regular fish. So kind of a weird example when you think of how similar all buffalo’s are... 😂
 
I do like the ideas, but pigs and buffalo's could pose a threat to guests and small carnivores

Pigs pose a threat to guests?? Hahah. What about the T-Rex you're breeding?! You have an island filled with prehistoric monsters and you're saying pigs are the threat... WOW.
 
We shouldn't be having a debate on logistical assets' inclusion in the films. Even then, cows and pigs were in the films anyway. That said, chicken as a source for small carnivors would be fun to watch them chase. They're more likely to add domesticed cows over buffalo, but I won't be mad if they added buffalo.
