Velociraptor
Genus: Velociraptor Classification: Saurichian, Theropod, Biped Length: 1.8m Weight: 15kg Diet: Carnivorous Period: Late Cretaceous The Fossilized skeleton of a velociraptor supports the theory that these creatures were agile and fast. Movements such as jumping, running, and springing into attack all require an energy which only a warm-blooded animal would have had. Many paleontologist are already convinced that dinosaurs, at least those which are smaller and quicker, must have needed to be warm-blooded. Therefore, it is likely that the Velociraptor was covered in feathers.
