Raptor Lineup: Size Check

The raptors in the films are much bigger than the real Velociraptor. Here is how the family compares.

LineupSmall, medium, hugeDromaeosaurids
Velociraptor: about 1.5 to 2 mDeinonychus: about 3.4 m, the film modelUtahraptor: about 6 to 7 mFilm raptors: about the size of Deinonychus
Real Velociraptor was about the size of a turkey. When Jurassic Park needed a bigger, scarier raptor, the designers based it on Deinonychus but kept the more exciting name.

Utahraptor, the biggest raptor, was described in 1993, the same year Jurassic Park came out.

About Velociraptor

Velociraptor was named in 1924 by Henry Fairfield Osborn, from a skull and claw found in Mongolia in 1923. The name means swift seizer.

It lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 75 to 71 million years ago. The real animal was about 1.5 to 2 m long including the tail and about 15 kg.

In 2007, scientists found quill knobs on a Velociraptor arm bone, showing it had feathers.
