One of the strangest parts of "Jurassic World" were the Velociraptors, who are not a lot more well behaved than in previous "Jurassic Park" installments.

Like with any domesticated animal, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) trains his Velociraptors.

And here are a few dolphins from the National Aquarium:

It just so happens that dolphin sounds were used for the Velociraptor's roars.

And here's one taken with one dinosaur's closest relatives:

Head to #JurassicZoo and Nerdist for more images.

OMG there are tons of zoo keepers doing this. That's amazing. If you've done one tweet me? I love this. #JurassicZoo pic.twitter.com/s4ez00WIQP
