Speedy Thief


As the name indicates, the Velociraptor was very fast, and as you can see in the picture, walked on it's hind legs. It's teeth could be around a inch (and there about 80 of them!) It had 3 clawed fingers, long legs and 4 clawed toes. In the middle toe of each hind leg there was a 3.5 inch retractable claw, which served as its main weapon. The Velociraptor was about 5 or 6 feet long and 3 feet tall. In 1974, a most interesting fossil was found.... but more on that later.
