Unlike the velociraptors of Jurassic park fame, the real dinosaur was roughly the size of a turkey. They were still formidable predators, with an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on each foot which could grow up to 6.5 cm long. Originally thought to have been used to disembowel prey, it is now believed that velociraptors used this claw to tackle and pin their prey - similar to modern eagles and owls. With muscular legs and long shins it is believed that the velociraptor could reach running speeds of approximately 24 mph, which enabled them to successfully hunt lizards, mammals, and smaller dinosaurs.

Velociraptors were covered in a fine feather-like coat, which was possibly used to attract mates, regulate body temperature, protect eggs from the environment or generate thrust and speed while running up inclines.
