@equarg Yeap :) I think it was called (sorry for possible misspelling) deinonychus. But even if it were Spielberg made it appear bigger then what the fossils actually point towards. They certanly was large but not as big as in the movie (atleast not in height). So yea, if any raptor fits the JP "model" it would be Utah raptor, but as you said it wasnt discovered untill later so :P

@pepparmostheelder

Oh yea, I know that..I just didn't have enough space to type that in my comments too. They were also scientifically called a different name (can't remember it now) It started with a D.....

Spielberg wanted them bigger, cause he did not think knee high Raptors would be scary. Plus he made up the Velociraptors name too I thought.

It just so happened that the larger Utah Raptor was discovered during the end of production =)

@MisticWays Realisticly they would be more in the seize league with deinonichus or utah raptors. But the film writers wanted a more famoust and familiar name (velociraptor) to draw more attention. Then they blew the seize porportion to the roof to attract even more attention to them. Velociraptors were actually just around 1m in height.

@Alex2424121 They changed it to be more attractive on the screen. All raptors were much more bird like. Most of them prob even was feathered. On velociraptor there are actually marks for so called "penn" feathers on their forearms. And it wouldnt be suprising since dinosaurs were very closely related to birds. So close that today palentologist actually class todays birds and avian dinosaurs. The velociraptor were actually shorter (in height) then an average human leg : /

@equarg The utah raptors were indeed a hughe (atleast by raptor standards) species. They were about the size of the ones in JP (prob a bit bigger like you say). But velociraptor were a lot smaller then showed in the films. Shorter then the leg of a human (in height).

@spitfiremodeller123 In short their size in the movies were drasticly over "estimated" (they knew they were smaller but they thought it would be cooler with a bigger raptor -.-). Wonder why they didnt choose to just picture the utahraptor instead if they wanted size :S

@spitfiremodeller123 Velociraptors were a lot smaller then what they are seen like in the films. Velociraptor were actually one of the smaller species of raptors. With a height a bit lower then 1 meter (a little shorter then the leg of an average human). Think it was around 2 m in lenght with about half or more of that being its tail. And most likely feathered, atleast on its arms (markings found on fossils for "penn" feathers)
