In this video series for kids, we are learning about dinosaurs from A to Z. Today’s dino is the Velociraptor.   If you have ever seen one of the Jurassic Park movies, then you have an idea what this dinosaur looked and acted like. The Velociraptor is one of the most well-known and popular dinosaurs in the world. It was a fearsome, clawed dinosaur with a reputation as a vicious killer. But, did the Velociraptor deserve its bad image? Scientists are not so sure! Unlike the movies, which tend to exaggerate things, the Velociraptor was not very large. In fact, it was about the same height as a turkey, about 2 meters (6 feet) from the tip of its nose to the end of its tail! It was also fast, running at speeds of 36 kilometers per hour (24 miles per hour). Velociraptors were agile and speedy! They had little difficulty in running down slower and less nimble herbivores.   We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about Velociraptors!
