Velociraptor is a small Asian dinosaur. It is an adoptable animal in all three Wildlife Park games.
Description[]
Velociraptor (Swift Hunter) is a carnivorous species of dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period belonging to the order of Theropods. It was a member of the Dromaeosaurid family, a group of bird-like dinosaurs identifiable by the large sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each foot. Velociraptor was comparatively small, with a total length of 2.7m (8ft 10in) and weighing 15kg (35lb). It was identifiable by its slender, low-set skull with an upturned snout, full of serrated teeth. Like all members of its family, Velociraptor was covered in feathers, especially on its arms.
Velociraptor lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Mongolia. As a carnivore, it would have hunted lizards, mammals and smaller dinosaurs. Its large claws would have been used to pin down or stab at prey, as well as a possible aid in climbing. One well-known fossil shows Velociraptor fighting the sheep-sized herbivorous dinosaur Protoceratops, suggesting it was capable of tackling prey larger than itself. Due to its active metabolism, it is likely that Velociraptor was warm-blooded. It is possible that it may have lived and hunted in packs, but there is little conclusive evidence of this.

“ | The velociraptor was once discovered by H.F. Osborn in Mongolia. He lived in the late Cretaceous period, approximately 84–80 mil years ago and was not only common in Mongolia, but also in China, Russia and North America. A spectacular discovery hit the headlines in 1971: a velociraptor and a protoceratops, both seemingly killed each other while fighting. The velociraptor had his sickle claws one on each hind leg | ” |

Velociraptor is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park and was added as part of the Wild Creatures expansion pack. Like all extinct animals in the pack, it cannot be adopted initially and must be bred back in order to be adopted. Velociraptor is bred back through Archaeopteryx, which makes Velociraptor the only extinct animal to be bred back through another extinct animal.
