Velociraptor



A Velociraptor was a type of dinosaur that  lived during the late cretaceous and is a quite well known creature. Velociraptor were part of the family of carnivorous dinosaurs called Dromaeosauridae. This family of dinosaur had large brains and were clever enough to hunt in packs, and were fearsome predators . Velociraptors are famous and very well known for the long curved blade of a claw  on the second toe of each foot. It is also well known for its clawed hands and sharp teeth but unlike other Dromaeosauridae had larger heads and longer jaws.


It's Fossil


The skeleton of the Velociraptor is small but the build of it allows the body to be stremlined making the Velociraptor a quick runner and the claw on its foot was its main weapon and the creature used it to pierce and rip through huge chunks of flesh. Also as it has a long jaw it can eat more.
