Lore & Background
Game warden Robert Muldoon notes that the raptors have tested the perimeter fence in different places, probing for an opening, and comments that the animals show extreme intelligence. When Hammond and chief engineer Ray Arnold reboot the park's systems after Dennis Nedry's sabotage, the shutdown releases the Velociraptors, which kill Arnold and Muldoon.
