    Thanks for pointing the Jurassic Park inaccuracy! Indeed we…er the Velociraptors were not as depicted in that film, we they were covered in feathers and much more similar to a modern turkey both in size and aspect than to what you see in the film. By the size of it, the film probably depicted a Deinonychus, which was another dromaeosaurid of a size that went up to 3 mt (roughly 11 ft).

    The Utahraptor, another dromaeosaurid, was double that size, making it too big to what the film calls a Velociraptor.

      Yeah, but think about how cool the word velociraptor sounds… so really… they were probably right, and science is just gonna have to take the L on this one. Rename all the stuff so that retroactively jurassic park is right. Problem solved.
