His first stop on Saturday was to the Raptor Encounter at Universal's Islands of Adventure. He didn't look too terrified to come thisclose to a velociraptor, as seen in the photo shared with ET.

In fact, the 21-year-old Brit looked more nervous (or is that a chill expression?) when he hung out two "princesses," a description that included his girlfriend Sophia Smith. Aw!

Liam had a pretty amazing week trekking all around Orlando. Earlier in the week, the massive Harry Potter fan also checked out Universal's Harry Potter World as well as Disney World.

If we had the choice, we'd hang with dinos and princesses, too. Well played, Liam!

Unlike this happy week, Liam and his bandmates had been less thrilled when Zayn Malik left One Direction. See them talk about Zayn's departure in the video below.
