Velociraptors
Generally, it is assumed that one day the world will indeed be controlled by the greatest of God's creations: The Velociraptor. Featured in Jurassic Park, they demonstrated their cunning ability to tear harnesses carrying cows to shreds.
Just The Facts
- Velociraptors existed in the Cretaceous Period.
- Velociraptors are indeed extinct... for now...
- They are, on average, the size of a turkey.
Velociraptors: Scarier than Death
The Velociraptor is shamed in film and often confused with its taller, more fearsome looking cousin, Deinonychus. The humble velociraptor is thankfully extinct, so they cannot exact their divine retribution on humanity. Why should we fear them, since they are after all roughly the size of the average turkey? Looks can be deceiving...
The famous "Fighting Dinosaur" fossil shows our fearsome Velociraptor engaged in battle with one of its weaker, less-likely-to-wield-a-bazooka-in-the-future foes. Scientists believe that these two were locked in their epic struggle for who knows what when a sand dune collapsed on them. Even in death, the Velociraptor fought to assert its supremacy over all creatures.
According to Professor Whick E. Pedia, the average Velociraptor had a massive claw on its second digit on its foot used for disembowling its prey... To put that in modern terms, they are the homocidal socio-paths featured in every episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Who was the police that locked them up so their talons could do no more harm? Random space debris.
