Description
Velociraptor mongoliensis, the two metre long dromaeosaurid from Asia. Being featered and as big as a turkey he doesn't look at all like the scaly badasses from Jurassic Park.Also he wasn't as fast as in the movie so the 'out in the open they can reach speeds of 80 km/h' or something like that quote is wrong. He was way slower, probably around 40 km/h... but that doesn't make any difference, you're still dead if he sees you as potential prey... or at least wounded (by the way there's no evidence for pack hunting behaviour for Velociraptors, it's just speculation)
Here you see him leeping on a small bad luck mammal.

My scanner screwed the colours, the original has a more cheetah-yellowish colour...

This looks really great, especially those long feathers on the arms and tail. And I'm glad you added those facts, too.
