Velociraptor [SEP] Introduction
"Velociraptor" can be distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull, with an upturned snout. "Velociraptor" (commonly shortened to "raptor") is one of the dinosaur genera most familiar to the general public due to its prominent role in the "Jurassic Park" motion picture series. In real life, however, "Velociraptor" was roughly the size of a turkey, considerably smaller than the approximately tall and reptiles seen in the films (which were based on members of the related genus "Deinonychus"). Today, "Velociraptor" is well known to paleontologists, with over a dozen described fossil skeletons, the most of any dromaeosaurid. One particularly famous specimen preserves a "Velociraptor" locked in combat with a "Protoceratops".
