Historical Background
Velociraptor is an extinct genus of dinosaur which existed during the Late Cretaceous Period, 83-70 million years ago. While Velociraptor is the genus most commonly associated with the raptor (a small dinosaur that walked on two legs and hunted in packs), several other genera are also considered raptors, Deinonychus and Utahraptor for example. Only one species is known to belong in the genus, Velociraptor mongoliensis. While evidence supports other raptors hunting in packs, no evidence has been found at present for Velociraptor hunting in packs. The genus was first described in 1924 from fossils found in Mongolia.
Velociraptors were popularly featured in the 1993 film Jurassic Park, though the creature depicted resembled Deinonychus more (despite being named Velociraptor in the movie). Velociraptors only get to be 2 feet tall and only have a 6 foot SVL (snout-vent length).
