Making Carnotaurus A Threat In Jurassic Park 4

At this point, rumors are running rampant as to what dinosaur will be the infamous killer of the Jurassic Park series' latest installment. Among those being considered for the role among fans is one of my favorite therapods, the Carnotaurus.
While the horned therapod was in the books, it hasn't made it's way on to the cinematic series. In the book, Carnotaurus was a horrendously scary therapod. Not just because of the creepy horns, either. While not all that big when compared to larger therapods like the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Spinosaurus, it had a certain quality that they didn't... Chameleon-like camouflage. A 30+ foot carnivore invisible to humans spells disaster for the film's protagonists. Just think about it. Man eating dinosaurs are scary, but once you see them you have an idea of where to run. With the Carnotaurus, however, you could face a pack of hungry killers without even knowing it. Just imagine... Throughout the series, they could have been on both islands (Nublar and Sorna), just waiting for their chance to strike...
