Intersting Facts
We chose Velociraptor mongoliensis initially because it was
not only our favorite dinosaur, but also very popular in modern
culture. Although V. mongoliensis was not the six foot tall,
non-feathered, recreational killer we had grown up being
terrified of, the more primary literature we read about this
theropod, the more interesting and intimidating this beast
became. We hope you feel the same way as we did as you read
through the different pages of our website. Try to recreate the
scenes in your head as you read, rather than just to get the
bullet points--if you do, we promise it will be enough to make
the hairs stand up on the back of your neck!
April 18th is Velociraptor Awareness Day! Celebrate by using
the knowledge gained from this website to help debunk the myths
about Velociraptor! Here are two funny websites promoting the
day but, unfortunately, not the facts.
