Velociraptor Profile
Scientific Name: Velociraptor mongoliensis
Time Period: Late Cretaceous
Location: Djadochta Formation, Mongolia
Length: 1.5 - 2 meters (5 - 6.5 meters)
Weight: 12 - 18 kg (26 - 40 lb)
Diet: Other dinosaurs, small mammals and reptiles
Exhibit: Velociraptor Dunes, Gobi Desert
As everyone knows, Velociraptor is not what the famous movie Jurassic Park would have you believe. Rather than a ‘6 foot turkey’ it instead a turkey-sized dinosaur that was discovered in 1923 by Peter Kaisen of the American Museum of Natural History. With two known species and dozens of specimens since, the Velociraptor was a decently well known species before the de-extinction process.
Velociraptors are surprisingly not pack hunters, preferring to hunt alone rather than with a group. However, they are known to create small alliances with other non-mate individuals in the event of a shared interest, such as stalking down a group of young pterosaurs. Mainly solitary aside from mates and young, the Velociraptor is a feared predator by many, but prefers to sleep the day away in a cool cave.
The Gobi Desert Exhibit in New Horizons has two Velociraptors in it’s enclosure; a lesbian pairing in fact! Living in their recreated habitat along with any in-need young from other paleozoological locations, Ot and Tengri spend their time playing with their enrichment items and hunting the rats we release in the enclosure for them to feed on. Tengri is also an Animal Ambassador, as depicted in the picture above! Come see them soon at New Horizons!
Reference Images Used!
DISCLAIMER: Yes I traced. Sorry, but I can never get proportions right. ALL THE RIGHTS OF THE ORIGINAL DRAWING GO TO THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS!!! I used the outlines and then made my own adjustments. I WILL BE ADVANCING MY ARTWORK AS I CONTINUE, AND LIKELY REPLACING THESE OLD OUTLINES WITH NEW ART THAT IS MY OWN

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
-Emily Dickinson
Happy Pride :)
EDIT!
Now available as prints! Thank you to everyone who’s interested!

Quoth Rob Wiethoff : While I don’t know much about velociraptors, if they existed today, there’s a good chance they could kill you.

tumblr tuesday: velociraptors, our beloveds
It's national velociraptor awareness day! What is there that we need to be aware of regarding velociraptors? No idea! We're just here to enjoy renditions of these swift plunderers from 73ish million years ago (the raptors, not the art).
And before you get up in arms about the specification of some of these little guys, we've broadened the scope to include all types of dromaeosaurs...because the art was pretty, and frankly, mistakes were already made before we got here (we're looking at you, Jurassic Park).
So, please enjoy this raptor and raptor-adjacent art. (And, while we have you, can the paleo plushie experts please take a look and see if they can help this user find another Hammer?)
