what ecological niche would de-extincted velociraptors fill?
>>
>>4898536
Food for large felines.
>>
>>4898536
Human men
>>
>>4898536
Terrestrial kleptoparasite.
>>
>>4898536
They would compete with foxes and small cats.
>>
>>4898536
Roadrunners on a larger scale
>>
>>4898536
They'd get BTFO by more advanced modern birds outcompeting them for food and feral cats would eat them
>>
>>4898536
birds would tear out their feathers for nest building
>>

total cat / coyote death (best ending desu)

whatever coyotes are doing
>>
>>4898536
Same as wolves
>>
>>4898536
Probably the niche that small carnivorous mammals took after they were gone. Coyotes, possums, raccoons, cats. Scavenging and preying on mice, rats, other small mammals like vole and shrew, as well as insects, small birds and bird eggs, reptiles, and amphibians. I bet they'd get into your garbage like small mammals too.

You're out of your mind, feral cats would definitely be on the menu. Velociraptor was about the size of a turkey and was estimated to weigh at least 4 times as much as a cat. Any felines smaller than a lynx would be BTFO. How many coyotes have you heard about feral cats taking down, as opposed to vice versa? The differences would be similar.

Feral cats kill turkeys.

Toxotards are truly a fucking plague upon this board. Go sniff a litter box instead of shitting up threads not related to your pwecious furbabies please. Feral cats kill turkeys. OK, and I said to look at coyote v cat statistics, you know, an actual larger predatory animal, which maybe you would have recognized if your brain wasn't misfiring from parasite infestation.

You made the turkey comparison.

YOUR NOSE IS INSIDE A DOG BUTT!
Toxobrain, if you truly loved cats, you would cease associating them with how insufferably retarded and reddit you are.

A cat is JUST A DOMESTICATED ANIMAL. Not a dwarf tiger. They have all the fanboy appeal of a pomeranian. Wtf are you doing holding unironic, seethe packed cat vs velociraptor console wars where you brought up dog butts for some reason?

This is what we get for getting a few dozen kitten killers on the news. A bunch of warrior cats reading furfags from reddit who think we’re a bastet cult.
>>

>palmed a quote and ruined my greentext
ohno
>>
>>4898869
I made the rough turkey size comparison, you or some anon like you was retarded enough to ignore/forget that turkeys don't have carnivore teeth, claws, and instincts. Besides, their body mass is thought to be closer to coyotes than most turkeys.
>>
None really unless you also bring back giant oviparous, perhaps they would eat ostrich eggs but thats way to limited

Can the samefagging zoophile get the fuck out if this thread and make himself an hero please?
>>4898536
We have plenty of animals that fill the niche of quick medium-small carnivore that velociraptor probably did in its day, best idea is to look at their habits.
>>
>>4898536
thats a sexy utahraptor not a velociraptor you retard

>>4898920
velociraptors also had thicker necks, covered in heavy feathers for protection, claws on their arms, a generally superior build, and a more self determined nature.

theyd easily kill coyotes and wolves. if they didnt eat cats it would be because it would be a waste of energy for very little and likely diseased meat.
>>
Your console war bullshit is retarded but a Velociraptor would 100% kill a cat
>>
>>4898927
>coyotes
Ehh maybe
>wolves
Not a chance, real velociraptors would just be food

Feral cats would eat velociraptor chicks, but cats would be likely to become prey of adult raptors.
At the end raptors wouldn't thrive in the modern world with the more advanced mammalian and non-avian dinosaur competition. Heck even the smallest of the terror birds got fucked up and went extinct once they had to face real predators and the new environmental conditions.
>>
>>4898536
Foxes, coyotes, etc. Easily domesticatable.

None. The niches they could occupy are full.
>>
>>4898536
Why did they give this bird sexy human-like thighs, an expressive face, and attractive plumage? And then show it from the back at just the right angle to let you imagine where and what its genitals are? And make it a character in a game series where it's established that monsters can be smarter than humans? Specifically in a role where it has a ridiculously close bond with the player and automatically knows what they want?

I am not a horsefucker, but you could say most of those things about horses irl. I think you just have a thing for big birds and big birdlike creatures.
>>
>>4899115
>sexy human-like thighs
They're large thighs for running, they're not human in any way
>an expressive face
It has an eternally blank fish expression
>attractive plumage
It's just feathers
My diagnosis is that you were molested as a child and this mutated into a mental illness

You guys are less degenerate than the /v/irgins at least.

I guess something akin to foxes. You do know how small they are, right? They'd just be ground birds that, instead of flying away (because they couldn't) would turn around and be aggressive at you. Think a caracara or secretary bird, but aggressive and pesterous.
>>

Fine, as a compromise: nkaanmykiunsuns is kind of cute and could grow on me but you’re still a nasty snake fucker and it’s not real love if she can’t strangle you, bite your face, kick you in the nuts, and give you a handy all at the same time without losing balance. Absolutely fucking disgusting. Pathetic. You might as well die a virgin if you don’t want the full experience.

Peace.

If you or someone you know has thighs that are covered in scales and rough pebbled hide, they should see a dermatologist immediately.
