Though it is popularly assumed that the film's Velociraptor is a reclassified Deinonychus (and out of universe the raptors were to be and were based on this dinosaur), the Holoscape attraction of the Jurassic World Innovation Center suggests otherwise with Velociraptor and Deinonychus being listed as entirely separate dinosaurs. Then the attack would come, not from the front, but from the flanks by other members of the pack. If potential prey saw a member of the pack it would freeze in place with the raptor would just looking back at them, as if in a standoff. Grant theorized that a raptor pack would trap their prey. So far, multiple specimens of the film's Velociraptor have been found in the state of Montana in North America. Alan Grant, they were highly intelligent, being almost smarter than whales and even primates, which would make the film's Velociraptor the most intelligent dinosaur that would have existed as the intelligence of Troodon, the world's smartest dinosaur in real life, is comparable to the modern-day opossum. They had a resonation chamber located in their skull. The Velociraptors in the films appear to resemble Deinonychus and are 6 ft tall (making them more similar in size to the larger Utahraptor) with their signature sickle claws being 6 inches. 1.2.2.2 Physical appearance and biology.1.2.1.1 Physical appearance and biology.Michael Crichton also supposedly met with Gregory Paul several times during the writing process to consult about the accuracy and physical descriptions of the dinosaurs. Paul, used the name Velociraptor antirrhopus to describe Deinonychus antirrhopus, and this is believed to be why the Velociraptors are referred to as such. It is also noteworthy that Crichton's source material for Jurassic Park dinosaurs, Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, authored by Gregory S. Interestingly and by coincidence no less the Dakotaraptor was found in Montana, the same place where the film's Velociraptor was found. In 2015 another discovery had born resemblance to Jurassic Park's Velociraptor, the North American dromaeosaurine, Dakotaraptor which was very close in size and shape to the animals featured in the films. A raptor in real life that vaguely resembles the dinosaurs in the film is the newly discovered Achillobator, a close Mongolian cousin to Utahraptor. They are also capable of setting traps for their prey.Īlthough it is called Velociraptor, it also shows characteristics of other dromaeosaurs, like Deinonychus and Utahraptor. They have a primitive level of vocalization which enables them to direct attacks and call for help. They could run 40-60 mph (65-100 km/h) at full sprint - fast enough to outrun many other dinosaurs. Velociraptors are highly intelligent pack hunters. In the fifth film, the Raptor Blue becomes a supporting protagonist as she helps Owen defeat the Indoraptor. In the fourth film, they become anti-heroes as they assist their trainer, Owen Grady, in defeating the vicious Indominus rex. The Raptors are the main antagonists of the first film and the secondary antagonists of the second and third films.

Velociraptor is the 3 to 5 meter long, 6-foot tall dromaeosaurid theropod carnivore that appears in all Jurassic Park films and film-based media. Jurassic World: The Ride 'Clever girl.' - Robert Muldoon ( src)
