In truth, Spielberg wanted the name Velociraptor - not the real animal, which was smaller than the vicious villains of his blockbuster. However, it is interesting to understand that for one, the general public were largely unaware of this Theropod Dinosaur, and that for two the fame itself is rather undeserved. Jurassic Park hysteria has wrongly caused many millions of people to become familiar with the name 'Velociraptor'. The latin word velox meaning 'swift' and rapere meaning 'to seize'. Palaeontologists can actually see the killing claw in suspended animation quite simply it is an impossible find, billions to one odds, find with great fortune, a 'holy grail' of Palaeontology on par with the best Tyrannosaurus rex find/specimen, Sue. There is an absolutely stunning Palaeontological find from 1971 of a Velociraptor mongoliensis, wrapped in mortal combat with a Protoceratops, both biting and slashing at each other, and both entombed within a sand dune as it swallowed them up, alive, during either a flash-flood or sandstorm. Its main food source would have been animals like Protoceratops.
It lived in Mongolia 7 5,000,000-7 1 ,000,000 BCE, and was one of the smartest dinosaurs ever. Velociraptor was a turkey-sized theropod that hunted in packs. Velociraptor as it appeared in Chased by Dinosaurs this is what they looked like in real life before having feathers.
