	Velociraptor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Velociraptor (meaning "swift thief") is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that existed approximately 83 to 70 million years ago during the later part of the Cretaceous Period.
		Velociraptor was small for a dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 90.6 meters (5.9 ft) long, 0.62 meters (2 ft) high at the hip, and weighing 20 kilograms (45 lb).
		Velociraptor was probably warm-blooded to some degree, as it required a significant amount of energy to hunt.

	Velociraptor, "The Speedy Thief"
		Velociraptor lived in the late Cretaceous Period, was about six feet (1.8 meters) in length and considerably lighter than Deinonychus at only 15 to 30 pounds (6.8 to 13.6 kg).
		It appears that the Velociraptor had disemboweled the Protoceratops with the enlarged claws on its feet, but the Protoceratops seems to have caved in the chest of the Velociraptor before it died.
		Although Deinonychus and Velociraptor were similar in that both had the famous enlarged claw on the second toe, this characteristic was also shared by other members of the Family Dromaeosauridae (to which Deinonychus and Velociraptor both belonged), such as Dromaeosaurus, Saurornitholestes, Saurornithoides and Stenonychosaurus (Oviraptor did not have the enlarged claw).

		Velociraptor lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous Period.
		It was not big, but it was dangerous because of its speed, agility, and its “killing claw.” This claw, on the second toe of each foot, was over three inches (8 cm) long; while walking or running, Velociraptor held the claw out of the way.
		When it moved in for a kill, a strong tendon snapped the claw down and into the flesh of its prey.
