RAPTOR RED, a tale of my first raptor tame. 2023, October. The trip wasn’t to get a raptor in the beginning. But a kapro. On my way to the swamp I was attacked by two raptors ( a teal and red one ) I killed the teal and realized “ I can bola this other one” I bola’d it and KO’d it. Fed it meat and..l named him…red (I know, I know.) we walked to the swamp still in search of a kapro. When night fell…I heard a hiss. Titanoboas rose from the murky depths of the water and sarcos jumped at me. They were relentless. We ran down the beach a good half a mile from the swamp. They were still chasing. Eventually the poison got to red and he fell asleep. But I refused to let him die. I shot those a**holes thousands of times until he woke up. We had both lost a good amount of health but managed to hightail it outta there with our lives. We got back home…and the very next night I made him a saddle. He now lives in his pen and comes with me on my travels along with his adoptive dilo brothers and adoptive sister pachycephalosaur.
