The Velociraptor was a small theropod dinosaur, measuring about 1.8 meters in length but don’t be fooled by its size, this turkey-sized Dinosaur could give you a nasty bite! Its most famous feature is it’s large, curved claw on the second toe of each foot – perfect for pinning down its prey.
The Velociraptor lived in the Late Cretaceous period around 70 million years ago with the first fossil of its kind discovered in the Gobi Desert in 1923. Experts believe it had a feather-like covering but despite its wing-like arms, the Velociraptor was in fact unable to fly.
