Velociraptor (pronounced /vɨˈlɒsɨræptər/ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_English); meaning 'swift seizer'[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor#cite_note-osborn1924a-0)) is a genus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus) of dromaeosaurid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dromaeosaurid)theropod (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theropoda)dinosaur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur) that existed approximately 75 to 71 mya (million years ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_years_ago)) during the later part of the Cretaceous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous)Period (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period_(geology)).[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor#cite_note-PGetal2008-1) Only two species are currently recognized, although others have been assigned in the past. The type species (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_species) is V. mongoliensis; fossils (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil) of this species have been discovered in both Inner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_Mongolia) and Outer Mongolia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolia) in central Asia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asia). A second species, V. osmolskae, was named in 2008 for skull material from Inner Mongolia.
Smaller than other dromaeosaurids like Deinonychus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinonychus) and Achillobator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achillobator), the turkey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_(bird))-sized Velociraptor nevertheless shared many of the same anatomical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy) features. It was a bipedal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biped), feathered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feather)carnivore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore) with a long, stiffened tail and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claw) on each hindfoot, which is thought to have been used to kill its prey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predation). Velociraptor can be distinguished from other dromaeosaurids by its long and low skull (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park_(film)) motion picture series. In the films it was shown with anatomical inaccuracies, including being much larger than it was in reality and without feathers. It is also well known to paleontologists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleontology), with over a dozen recovered fossil skeletons—the most of any dromaeosaurid. One particularly famous specimen preserves a Velociraptor locked in combat with a Protoceratops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoceratops).
