Name: Velociraptor
Means: Named after the place it was found (Shantung in China)

Interesting fact: It is the largest of the Ornithopoda group, being over 12 m long it could have looked over the roof of a three storey house. A grown man standing beside it just reaches the knee.


Are you sure this isn't a troll?

I think it was just someone drunk enough to mix up the Velociraptor and Shantungosaurus info cards. :P

Velociraptor has Shantungosaurus description and someone confused Struthiomimus and Struthiomimus.
The illustrations come from a book from 1993 (I have said book), while the first feathered dinosaur (excluding birds and Archaeopteryx) was discovered in 1996. And the book also featured feathered Oviraptor xD

Sometimes I think these people are just trying to sound as stupid as possible as a ploy for attention. xD

My book, however, had the correct description for the animals.

I also have a book with a fluffy rex (not overall fluffy though, yet enough for the standards) xD .
