        Cassoway = Velociraptors if they could also fly short distances.
        Though fortunately generally non-aggressive unless you piss them off.

          pretty sure velociraptors were actually smaller lmao, more along the size of turkeys

          cassowaries are significantly scarier than velociraptors would have been.

        I suspect T-Rex (like carnivores in general) isn’t such a good choice if meat is your goal. Sauropods on the other hand? Tons and tons of meat from a single herbivore animal. You might even be able to use existing cattle feed.

      The whole “dinosaurs having feathers makes them less scary” line of thought is kinda silly.

      If you stick a pink bow and glitter on a knife, it doesn’t become any leas deadly, plus good luck getting that glitter out of your wounds if you do make it to the “I need to get that glitter out of my wounds” stage.

      Birds are the only direct descendents of dinosaurs. Reptiles were around at the same time as dinosaurs and evolved independently. There are huge differences, scales instead of skin and feathers, cold blooded instead of warm, etc.
