Real life velociraptors were tiny and pathetic


I cant believe Michael Crichton, having probably done tons of research for his book, and then the director, writers and the entire movie board havnt looked into this either, but the main antagonists of the book/movie, the Velociraptors were actually a lot smaller than they appeared in the story, and a lot less menacing looking.

I mean holy sh** they were normally not even half the size of a grown man, and they were full of feathers. Grant could have probably killed all 3 of them with a crowbar. In the book Muldoon blows one up with a damn rocket launcher, ever tried to hit a rooster with a granade?

Thoughts?

I don’t have thoughts. I’m quite stupid, really.

'Raptor' sounds cool.

It should've been Deinonychus but they used Raptor for creative license (which was a good choice).
