Owen's raising of the raptors is also a call-back to the first book. A six-week-old Velociraptor is shown to Dr. Grant and Tim early on by Dr. Wu, who says that she's friendly, playful, and craves close body contact. The baby raptor's even shown to be capable of playing with toys and distinguishing between caretakers who are kind to her and those who are not, although the predatory instincts are definitely still there. Now, if you slot an imprinted, hands-on, and very dedicated caretaker like Owen into the picture, then it isn't quite so surprising that he'd be able to establish a strong, long-term bond with his own (far more avian) raptors. It also works as a Fridge Brilliance case of Shown Their Work, as people who work with large predators tend to start shortly after birth, interact with them a lot, treat them with cautious respect, and when the baby predator grows up, they interact with each other through a barrier. Because, as they know, even if you believe you have this animal under control, it can still hurt or kill you with ease, should it ever decide to, or if it feels scared.
