Wait, Velociraptors have feathers?
Does that mean they're more fun to hug?

Actually, they do have feathers. There was a skeleton found with the remains of a quill which confirmed that they did have feathers

Very interesting, I did not know this.

From something I read, they actually found Utahraptor like, right at the beginning of making the movie, so they based the size and shape off those remains.

Yeah, the size was a dramatic effect I know, but the book itself was supposed to be a Deinonychus, but there was some confusion in the name and classification. Buuut this error has made everyone think that Velociraptors are big and have skull shapes like Deinonychus!

Right, exactly. Though to be perfectly honest, I think the movie would have gone ahead with seven foot raptors, even if none had existed in the first place.

haha yeah they might have, make it seem cooler and all.

Velocirapters are only 2 foot tall!? Well, how about that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep! What was in the movie was actually supposed to be a deinonychus, and even then, it was still bigger than that was supposed to be, for dramatic effect.

neat! That's an interesting fact I didn't know

That's what I've been saying for years! i'm so glad that someone else noticed it.

haha yeah. A misinterpretation in the book, and then they were made bigger for dramatic effect. Shoulda been Deinonychus

Yeah, also, did you notice that Jurassic Park is really more of a mostly Cretacious park?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahahah yesss. I just think Jurassic was easier to say and spell, made for a better title.

It still would have been better as Mesezoic Park but Jurassic does have a better ring to it.

but that would be too cluttered!
