A kind of dinosaur · also called Velociraptor mongoliensis
About
Velociraptor was a small, feathered predatory dinosaur roughly the size of a medium dog.
Much of its total length came from a long, stiff tail that helped it balance while sprinting. Movies often portrayed it as taller than a human, but real individuals only reached around knee height. It was much smaller than related raptors such as Deinonychus and Utahraptor, which grew several times its weight.
From Wikipedia
Velociraptor is a genus of small dromaeosaurid dinosaurs that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous epoch, about 75 million to 71 million years ago (Mya). Two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past.
