Yep and dangerous predators that we aren't equipped to deal with. If a lion escapes from the zoo, guns will work on it. Will they penetrate a dinosaurs skin?

Dinosaurs weren’t made of Kevlar.

Muldoon was plenty equipped. He had two rocket launchers!

But was also an alcoholic, and shows how poorly Hammond did in cheaping out and not hiring the best outside of the scientist and their facilities.

To be fair to Muldoon though, he was probably the only wild life expert with about as relevant experience as one could have, and balls big enough to take on the challenge of carnivorous dinosaurs. He did about as good as anyone could have hoped for against the raptors in the book.
