Since watching the Indominous Rex paddock scene in Jurassic World, I kept thinking how this meat feeder could be so cool to have in the game as an option to feed our carnivores. It is basically the terrestrial enclosure equivalent of the shark feeder lagoons use to feed their apex predators.
It would be cool as a feeder option we could place near galleries or alongside tours, as a means to attract the predators in the area that is not done with the typical meat feeder, as the way the carnivore gets the steer would be interesting.
Apex predators like Tyrannosaurus rex, Indominous Rex, Spinosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, and Tarbosaurus would use their size to reach the meat and sheer strength to pluck it down to devour it. After their fill, there could be some small remains left where any potential scavengers like Compsognathus or Moros Intrepidus would scurry to get whatever is available.
Pack hunters on the other hand could pounce and swarm the large piece of meat, trying to weight the steer down to have gravity disconnect it from the feeder. Pack hunting is barely shown in a typical enclosure if no large prey options are introduced, and this would be nice for players wanting to see the mechanic in action without having to sacrifice an incubated animal.
Aside from those, the feeder could still be used for the odd animal if Frontier finds a creative way for them to reach the meat. Scorpius Rex and Indorpator could have unique leaping animations to grab the steer, and Carnotaurus may attempt to catch it with its jaws, can't, but rams the steer in frustration which conveniently drops it down to a proper eating level. T-rex while being an Apex Predator could actually take down the Steer in a unique animation, similar to how Buck bit the Traffic Light when it was rampaging in the city in The Lost World.
The game should highlight this as an option when checking into a carnivore's environmental need, so if you see it, you could add a bit of fun in your enclosure and observe a unique animation from the more common meat feeder. Adding a bit of excitement to showcase the animal's strength, skill, and resourcefulness.
