The Velociraptor was almost named ovar rapter which sounds a lot like Velociraptor cousin ovirapter. The archaeologist who named the Velociraptor changed it to Velociraptor because If the Velociraptor was named ovaraptor people would probably mixed up ovarapter with ovirapter .

  3. What it looked like The Velociraptor was covered with feathers and because of these feathers the Velociraptor probably evolved into owls and eagles. Since it was a late cretaceous therapod it only had 1 claw. The claw was shaped like a sickle and was used to cut it’s preys throat. The Velociraptor had a long low head. It was 3 feet tall and 5.50 feet long. It weighed 30 kilograms.

The Velociraptor tail was made of hard fused bone making it inflexible. While it cannot be used as a weapon. The Velociraptor tail kept the Velociraptor balanced when it hunted. It was arm blooded. It could run at speeds up to 40 mph. It is smart for a dinosaur.

  6. archaeologist The first Velociraptor skeleton was found in the Gobi desert by a group of archaeologist. Archaeology is the study of ancient beings. Archaeology means study the ancients in Greek.
