The Great Velociraptor | The Turkey Sized 'Speedy Thief'

They lived in the Late Cretaceous period about 85.8 to 70.6 million years ago, but it wasn’t until 1993 that the velociraptor became world famous when it had its starring turn in the film Jurassic Park.

Although, as we’ll go into later, this film depiction isn’t exactly accurate, the velociraptor is just as interesting in real life as it was depicted on film.


Today we’re going to deep dive into this historic hunter, from the first discovery to famous velociraptor fossils.
