Velociraptors love the taste of children. They’re hearty and flavorful, but still tender and sweet due to their young age. So when this Velociraptor is let loose in an Australian schoolyard, it’s obviously pretty stoked at all the snacks running around, especially when they look so scared and vulnerable.
Naw naw, we kid! This Velociraptor is actually a really amazing puppet from the “Walking With Dinosaurs” live show experience. If you guys haven’t seen the YouTube videos from the show, you should definitely look them up — these puppets are amazing! But luckily for us, these kiddos can’t tell the puppet apart from the real thing, and some of them look truly terrified! But most importantly, this video has got us thinking about next Halloween and how we can up the ante with our annual haunted house. The prehistoric predator room will have kids poopin’ their little short pants.

I saw that this morning on the telly. That raptor took off running like it was going to eat one of those kids. Scared me watching and I was on the other side of the screen. Puppet? Dang I thought it was a clone.

They should've known that would freak some kids out. Hell - a lot of kids get freaked out by the automatrons at Chuck E Cheese.

OMG that was GREAT! I'm sure (guessing) they told the kids it would be a puppet...but I bet they didn't expect THAT kind of puppet! My son would love that...too bad I missed the US tour

I can see the puppet master's legs poking out of that thing. I didn't notice it until it was outside, walking in the school yard.

Uh, I'M freaked out by those animatronic characters at Chuck E Cheese also, lol. I hate to even go into that room where they are, even when they're not on, lol. Actually, ESPECIALLY when they're not on, because I never know when they might POP ON, lol. In fact, I don't even go to Chuck E Cheese BECAUSE of them, lol.

Those animatronic rides at Disneyland freak me out also (Pirates of The Caribbean, The Indiana Jones Adventure, The Haunted Mansion, The Abraham Lincoln attraction - especially when he gets up out of his chair!). But then again, I'm also freaked out by those giant Macy's Thanksgiving Day balloons also, lol.

Guess I'm easily freaked out, lol.

FUCKING AMAZING ANIMATRONICS! but it looked more like a young Trex...whatever

the kids were having a good time...the thrill of being scared but entertained at the same time...
