Set at "Jurassic World". I would love to hear a Bob Newhart-style monolog from the point of view of the insurance broker tasked with getting insurance for JW.
If we go by newly hatched extant dinosaurs that are precocial, they're subject to unplanned beak-plants when attempting rapid movement but there's very little wrong with their ability to try to eat anything that looks interesting.
Given the Jurassic Park customer safety record, I wouldn't want to go presuming that the restraints intended to prevent untoward beak-plants at the upscaled size were going to prevent inhalation of individuals attempting petting.
Might even be an impromptu eulogy about the high quality of the synthetic corundum gizzard-stones.
Would a newly hatched critter have gizzard stones already?
But you're right; the beak-plant and eat-anything-that-moves problems would have to be solved. Still, for something that cute a lot of people would be willing to risk it.
Well, it is an _impromptu_ eulogy, but I'd expect they wouldn't let Dr. Hank Pym at anything freshly hatched. It should get a chance to dry off and eat something, first, so I'd expect the fusby mass of floof would be a day or two or even three, old. Bound to be provided with gizzard-stones by then.
