This. I love the idea. I wish Jurassic World had a montage of exhibits like these.

I'm guessing that was a zoo elephant that died of illness or old age. Some zoos use the remains of their deceased herbivores to feed carnivores.

This would've been cool to see in Jurassic World or a real zoo.

This is totally better than Jurassic World! But hmm, do you think feeding dead elephants to dinosaurs would fly with the law? Just asking. It's still freakin' awesome!

Watched the speed paint! That must have taken forever if the video turned out to be 6 minutes long! Super amazing work!

so, you feed your large theropods large mammalian herbivores right. COOL DUDE, not only do you give them big meals to fill their bellies, but if you bring them in alive, you give your animals some good opportunity to exercise and sharpen its hunting and fighting capabilities.
