• To be fair, we don't actually know exactly how smart Velociraptor would have been - and it was probably smart for a dinosaur - but it seems unlikely to have been as smart as a whale, dolphin or primate (as Sam Neill's character claims in Jurassic Park III).
  
  
• As far size is concerned, the Velociraptors seemed to be modelled after Deinonychus (which has sometimes been known as Velociraptor antirrhopus), which is actually a close relative of Velociraptor. This fits, because in the Jurassic Park novel, a character states that Deinonychus is now considered to be one the Velociraptors. Additionally, this explanation fits because in the story fossils of the animal are found in Montana, which was actually part of Deinonychus' (but not Velociraptor's) range.

Velociraptor Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Velociraptor: Velociraptor was a genus of dinosaur. "Velociraptor" means "swift thief". This name was chosen by Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1924. Velociraptor was a member of the Saurischia ("lizard-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Velociraptor was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Velociraptor was a Theropod - a member of a group of related bipedal dinosaurs that included the ancestors of birds (although Velociraptor was not itself an ancestor of birds). Velociraptor lived between about 84 million years ago and 80 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period. Velociraptor lived in China and Mongolia. Velociraptor was a carnivore (meat-eater). Velociraptor was about 6 feet (1.8 meters) long, and about 3 feet (0.9 meters) tall. Velociraptor weighed about 20 to 30 pounds (9 to 14 kilograms).
