When Dr. Ian Malcom said, “life finds a way,” this is what he meant.
A few weeks ago, the site of the unannounced “Velocicoaster” at Universal’s Islands of Adventure got a surprise visitor in an osprey, who made a nest at the roller coaster’s highest point. Obviously, birds of prey and construction equipment aren’t a good mix, so it seems Universal wrapped that portion of the track in a blue plastic wrap to deter ospreys from staying there. But aerial photographer @bioreconstruct noticed that the birds would not be denied, as the wrap had been shredded through. So now it’s raptors vs. raptors (another term for birds of prey) as construction continues.
