Ornithomimus Pond

Ornithomimus Pond, a converted ostrich paddock, was seen as the best place to keep the Ornithomimus flock. The terrain was fairly open with some woodland. A central lake was added after it was realized that the Ornithomimus couldn't eat the grass. They may look like ratites but according to the narrator: "They have more in common with Daffy Duck than Emu".



Head Keeper Bob also built a small hide on the lakeside where he could observe the flock. It was in the foliage near there where the Ornithomimus nested. The fences were waist-high and wooden made up of slats with gaps between them. Unlike most other enclosures, the main entrance door is kept shut with rope rather than with metal locks. The Ornithomimus Paddock was damaged during the Mass Break-Out, though none of the flock was hurt and the damage was repaired. This was the dinosaurs second home with they preferred as they like to be treated like ducks.
