Physical Description

Velocipator - This ferocious predator was found in China, Russia and Mongolia. Its second toe of each foot bearing a formidably large, retractable claw, Velociraptor was similar in appearance to the larger Deinonychus and the much larger Utahraptor. Contrary to what was suggested in the movie Jurassic Park, Velociraptor was not as smart and fast as it was portrayed to be.
