Velociraptor is the name for a small, fast-running, carnivorous dinosaur. Velociraptor was small for a dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 1.8 meters (5.9 ft) long, 0.62 meters (2 ft) high at the hip, and weighing 20 kilograms (45 lb)Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[1] American Museum Novitates 3282</ref> The Bible says that two of every sort of land vertebrate (seven of the “clean” animals) were brought by God to the Ark. Therefore it is speculated that Velociraptor (land vertebrates) were represented on the Ark.[2] So it logical to assume that Velociraptor survived the flood (4300 B.C).

Stephen Spielberg's Jurassic Park

The Velociraptor played a prominent part in Stephen Spielberg's motion picture Jurassic Park in which it was misrepresented as a much larger creature. It was in fact merely the size of a turkey.[3] The version of the Velociraptor in Jurassic Park more closely resembled a Deinonychus.
