Fun Facts About Velociraptor
Velociraptor lived in the late Cretaceous period, about 75 to 71 million years ago, in what is now Mongolia. It was much smaller than most people think – about the size of a turkey, roughly 6 feet long including its tail and around 33 pounds. Scientists found tiny bumps on its arm bones where feathers were once attached, though it couldn’t fly. Its name means “swift thief.” It was a quick meat-eater with a big, curved claw on each foot.
