Muldoon has a particular fondness of strong, independent women, animal or human. As Yennefer well knows at this point.
As clichéd and predictable as it is, the predators have a special place in Muldoon's heart. Especially something as majestic as the tyrannosaur. She's magnificent and deadly, and she behaves pretty much as Muldoon expects of a massive predatory animal.
The combination of a beautiful but deadly woman equally as excited as him by the sight of a beautiful but deadly dinosaur is a particular delight to the warden. As per usual he's happy to answer her as he watches fascination play across her face.
"Here? We feed her goats. We've been having discussions about enriching her environment, but for now we're keeping the goats tied or else they tend to end up running into the fence. In her own era, she would have eaten a lot of hadrosaurs, duck-billed dinosaurs, and smaller animals when it could. There's even evidence tyrannosaurs attacked triceratops in the past, but whether that was part of hunting or territory is hard to tell."
"As for how she hunts..." He turns back to the animal. "She's a surprisingly good ambush predator, and preferred that method much more when she was younger." He leans closer and points, highlighting her powerful legs. "You see those long, muscular legs? They allow her to keep a fast pace for long distances. That's how she prefers to hunt when she can. She'll exhaust her prey, chase them down over long distances while she harries them. She tries that on our jeeps, and even though we know she's there, she manages to catch people by surprise if they're not paying attention."
