Some 73 million years ago, Velociraptor lived during the Late Cretaceous period along with T-rex and flourished in central and eastern Asia. These dinosaurs are well known, thanks to Jurassic movies, which occasionally portrayed them. However, the Velociraptor of the movie is very different from real life; they were much smaller, more likely a turkey than a human. They are also feathered dinosaurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name behind the Velociraptor is \"fast kidnapper\" or \"fast plunderer\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that an adult Velociraptor can grow up to 2m in length, 0.5m in hip height, and weigh up to 15kg? Yes! That's for real guys. And you don't want to go near them as the Velociraptor has huge claws on its hind legs that in one swipe can be fatal. This dinosaur killed its prey with sickle-shaped claws on its hind legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their speed can reach up to 24 miles per hour (39 kilometers per hour) making it impossible for prey to escape their attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another fun fact about the Velociraptor dinosaurs is that they had a massive brain that is proportional to their size. Can you imagine how this dinosaur would be smarter? Well, Velociraptor is just one of the many intelligent dinosaurs that walked the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
