Velociraptor

In Real Life
Velociraptor was 1.8m long and had the mass of a chicken, despite the popular belief that Velociraptor was the size of a grown man (1.8m tall). Velociraptor is a feathered dromaeosaur, and it also is the most popular dromaeosaur, due to it's appearance in the movie 'Jurassic Park'. These creatures roamed the Gobi desert in Mongolia, about 75-71mya. Velociraptor has a very popular fossil record; in fact, there was a fossilised Velociraptor skeleton in battle with Protoceratops, suggesting that Protoceratops was a decently common source of prey for Velociraptor. Velociraptor was a mid-sized dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 2.07 m (6 ft 9 1⁄2 in) long, 0.5 m (1 ft 7 1⁄2 in) high at the hip, and weighing up to 15 kg (33 lb), though there is a higher estimate of 19.7 kg (43 1⁄2 lb). The skull, which grew up to 25 cm (10 in) long, was uniquely up-curved, concave on the upper surface and convex on the lower. The jaws were lined with 26–28 widely spaced teeth on each side, each more strongly serrated on the back edge than the front. Velociraptor, like other dromaeosaurids, had a large manus ('hand') with three strongly curved claws, which were similar in construction and flexibility to the wing bones of modern birds. The second digit was the longest of the three digits present, while the first was shortest. The structure of the carpal (wrist) bones prevented pronation of the wrist and forced the 'hands' to be held with the palmar surface facing inward (medially), not downward. The first digit of the foot, as in other theropods, was a small dewclaw. However, whereas most theropods had feet with three digits contacting the ground, dromaeosaurids like Velociraptor walked on only their third and fourth digits. The second digit, for which Velociraptor is most famous, was highly modified and held retracted off the ground. It bore a relatively large, sickle-shaped claw, typical of dromaeosaurid and troodontid dinosaurs.

In Prehistory
velocirpator is the started Carnivore in Prehistory. These dinosaurs can be a very big problem even for bigger animals in packs, and are probably the most cannibalistic animals in the entire game. Velociraptor is the second weakest dinosaur behind Nanosaurus, which is pretty much the only creature it can hunt on it's own. However, in packs, Velociraptor is able to take down Tier 2 creatures. Velociraptor's main attribute is it's small size, enabling it to hide in small holes from predators. Although Velociraptor is fast for its size, larger carnivores such as Allosaurus are able to outrun it. Velociraptor is also a good source of food for Noasaurus and Utahraptor, making it quite vunerable. When nesting is implemented, Velociraptors will easily be able to run around nests and kill baby dinosaurs, making it the pests of Prehistory. For a starter dinosaur, Velociraptor is equipped with pretty lethal bleed. It also can smell bodies from a very good distance, and it is quite fast for its size.

Pros

 * Small size, easy to hide
 * Fast and fairly endurant stamina-wise
 * Good bleed for it's size
 * Ability to jump
 * Good scent

Cons

 * Easily chased down & killed by Deinonychus & Utahraptor
 * Low Hunger & Thirst Time
 * Low stamina compared to Tier 2s and 3s
