Thanks for pointing the Jurassic Park inaccuracy! Indeed we...er the Velociraptors were not as depicted in that film, ~~we~~ they were covered in feathers and much more similar to a modern turkey both in size and aspect than to what you see in the film. By the size of it, the film probably depicted a Deinonychus, which was another dromaeosaurid of a size that went up to 3 mt (roughly 11 ft).

The Utahraptor, another dromaeosaurid, was double that size, making it too big to what the film calls a Velociraptor.

Yeah, but think about how cool the word velociraptor sounds.... so really... they were probably right, and science is just gonna have to take the L on this one. Rename all the stuff so that retroactively jurassic park is right. Problem solved.
