What was a Velociraptor?

 

                                 The fierce raptors shown in the film Jurassic Park actually existed, although they were not as large as the ones depicted in the film. Like Deinonychus, Velociraptor had a large ripping claw on its hind legs, and may have hunted in packs. It had a much slimmer head than Deinonychus, and probably had a less powerful bite.
