alright guys so one of my favorite scenes throughout all the Jurassic world movies
is certainly that instance where one of the park workers falls into the Raptor
enclosure and is nearly by blue echo Delta and Charlie and I love that moment where
Owen Grady jumps in it gets between the rafters and his fallen comrade now what
I want to do today with the crew in tow is to recreate that scenario by
entering an enclosure with what I consider to be a modern-day dinosaur lower the gate
200 million years ago the Jurassic period gave rise to the dinosaurs
during this time the first birds also began to appear where they lived and thrived amongst
their giant prehistoric counterparts fast forward hundreds of millions of years to
the present and you can see how some of the primitive bird species that exists today like
the ostrich bear a striking resemblance to a number of different dinosaur species it's a
gala gala gala - actually it's an ostrich which is technically a modern-day avian dinosaur but
it's amazing how much the ostrich looks like the famous dinosaur known as the Gallimimus
that we saw in the first dress park movie you guys remember that scene when dr. Krantz him
and lakhs were walking across the grasslands and all of a sudden they came flocking toward them
it was pretty cool and while it's impossible to forget the moment where Tyrannosaurus Rex
crashes from the underbrush to capture and consume a gala - the most famous bird-like
dinosaur in the Jurassic franchise certainly has to be the Velociraptor whether you love
their problem solving intelligence in Jurassic Park or the heroic moments displayed by Blu in
Jurassic world this cunning predator has become an iconic fan favorite
today we are on location at the Everglades alligator farm this wildlife sanctuary is
quite similar to a real live version of Jurassic world and every year thousands
of visitors attend the park to see their vast array of wildlife which even includes
a pair of modern-day velociraptors alright guys so one of my favorite scenes throughout
all the Jurassic world movies is certainly that instance where one of the park workers
falls into the raptor enclosure is nearly eaten by blue echo Delta and Charlie and I
love that moment where Owen Grady jumps in and gets between the raptors and his fallen
comrade now what I want to do today with the crew in tow is to recreate that scenario by
entering an enclosure with what I consider to be a modern-day dinosaur the one and only EMU
so if you guys are ready I know I'm ready a little bit nervous and certainly excited
to test out my Raptor training skills you guys ready let's do it okay here we go one two three
come on out and follow yours gay people lower the gate
it's time watch your backs guys watching backs careful careful careful you keep the Berg crowd
this way come on you know me Oh as the birds acclimated to the crew and I being in their
enclosure it was time to see if I could feed these prehistoric looking creatures allowing them to
build trust in me before I entered the enclosure I wisely armed myself with a healthy supply of
EMU feed it was crucial that I kept the birds attention in order to get the cameras up close
for a safe presentation let me see if I can sort of corral them over in this direction Worf you
hope good morning how are you okay here here here here there we go good when it comes to feeding the
EMU doesn't have teeth so a pack from the beak is completely harmless if these birds were replaced
by velociraptors it would be a far different level of danger velociraptors are armed with
jaws of razor-sharp teeth and an estimated bite force of around 2,000 pounds per square inch that
is equivalent to a large American alligator I mean you look at the design of the bird's head it has a
very large eye bone they have incredible eyesight but what you may also notice is this little lens
flicking back and forth over the eye that's called a nictitating membrane so similar to crocodiles
and alligators that helps them protect them now in Jurassic world fallen Kingdom we saw that design
on the Indo Raptor very unique and certainly would help that animal protect its eyeball
against anything getting into it even fighting with another dinosaur would not want to lose an
eye next to the ostrich the EMU is considered the second tallest bird in the world and with its neck
fully extended they can reach heights of nearly 6 feet when compared to a Velociraptor it is the
exact same height so looking down the length of this bird's beak is like looking back in time and
down the snout of a Velociraptor and as you travel down the height of this animal from its beak tip
to its toes you certainly recognize how the feet are very dinosaur-like in design ok I'm gonna do
this something a little risky I'm gonna stay right in front of the feet and Mario go ahead and zoom
in on those legs notice the tribe dactyl structure of these feet perfectly designed for running and
you may notice how they also look like the feet of a dinosaur I'll tell you what there's nothing more
prehistoric than the foot of this bird and look at those claws Wow not quite as big as a Velociraptor
but certainly intimidating I'll tell you what the last thing you want to see is one of these
birds running at you full speed leaping into the air and swinging at you with a full blown kick a
kick from an emu would be painful but a kick from a raptor would be deadly both the velociraptors
in the Indo Raptor have a similar tried active toe structure and their feet are armed with a
retractable claw on the inside toe not only is this weapon intimidating as it was often seen
clicking on the floor as the dinosaurs walked but it was also used to cut and slash out its victims
once an unlucky target was taken down the rest of the foot was used to hold the prey in place before
those terrifying jaws were put into action you may be wondering to yourself what are my odds of ever
encountering and emu in the wild so if you're out there in Australia wandering through the
outback or up in the Northern Territory in your and some of that dense foliage this bird is gonna
hear you coming before you ever get the chance to see it now you look at these feathers they also
work as incredible camouflage so this animal could literally just stand still in the environment and
you may walk white pocket kinda reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park when Muldoon goes out and
they try to get to the bunker to turn the power back on and he's hunting that one philosoraptor
from a distance and that's when the other two Raptors come from the side I'll tell you what a
bird like this certainly could sneak up on you but the good news for us is that they don't eat humans
well I would certainly say that my Raptor training skills have improved over the course of filming of
this episode but how epic was this entering an enclosure and getting up close with a modern-day
dinosaur I'm coyote Peterson be brave stay wild we'll see on the next Jurassic world adventure
entering an enclosure with a pair of emus is about as close as one can get to an encounter with a
living avian dinosaur from their intelligent eyes and methodical movements to their scale covered
feet armed with razor-sharp claws these birds made the perfect counterpart and our attempt to
recreate some of the Jurassic franchise's famous Velociraptor seeds I'd say that my
Raptor training skills improved while working with these beautiful birds but I'll also be the
first to admit then I have a long ways to go before leading this pack up against foes like
the indominus rex or the endo Raptor if you love the Jurassic franchise as much as we do
the make sure to go back and watch the films from Universal home entertainment that sparked
an adventure 65 million years in the making this collection is now available on blu-ray
DVD and digital download if you missed the first episode of Jurassic world explorers make sure to
go back and watch as we got a living version of Tyrannosaurus Rex up close for the cameras
and don't forget subscribe so you can join me and the crew on our next Jurassic world
adventure you know this reminds me of that scene Jurassic world fallen Kingdom when Owen and
Claire have to do the blood transfusion between the Train asaurus rex and blue
