Fun History
Velociraptor, meaning ‘swift thief,’ was a small carnivorous dinosaur that lived about 70 million years ago in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert. Fossil evidence shows that Velociraptor had feathers and may have used them for display or warmth, although it could not fly. It measured about six feet long but only stood as tall as a turkey and could run up to 24 miles per hour. These intelligent hunters likely cooperated in packs and cared for their young, behaviours that link them to modern birds. Velociraptor had a large sickle-shaped claw on each foot used to grasp prey and numerous serrated teeth for tearing flesh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did velociraptors really look like in the movies?
Movie velociraptors are actually much larger than the real animal — real Velociraptors were about the size of a large turkey. Modern paleontology also suggests they had feathers, making them look more like ground-running birds than the scaly reptiles in films. This coloring page is a great starting point for a conversation about what dinosaurs may have really looked like.
What colors should I use for a Velociraptor?
Since we now believe many raptors had feathers, you can be very creative — earthy browns and tans are classic, but bold iridescent blues, greens, and even striped patterns inspired by modern birds of prey all work beautifully.
