Velociraptor

Velociraptor is a small dromaeosaurid dinosaur that lived in Mongolia and China during the Late Cretaceous Period (about 75 to 71 million years ago). Unlike the one depicted in the movie 'Jurassic Park', the real velociraptor was about the size of a turkey (the movie dinosaur was closer to a deinonychus). A fossil discovered in 2007 showed a feathered flagellum, proving that it was covered in feathers. Its most famous feature is the large sickle-shaped claw (about 6.5 centimeters) on its second toe, which was used to stab or pin down prey when hunting. The most famous fossil is the 'fighting dinosaur,' a velociraptor and protoceratops fossilized in a fight.
