On this episode, we go way back in time to learn about the velociraptor! If your knowledge about the velociraptor comes from the movie Jurassic Park (like Jaguar) then you’ll be surprised to know that most of what you think is true is false! The velociraptor was only about the size of the turkey, and its hunting game was way different than portrayed. In this episode, you’ll learn more about its dangerous claws, a prehistoric battle, and lots more.
We mentioned two videos in the episode. They are:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0qs5oclDkI - Interesting information about what the velociraptor might have sounded like
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2erfy1 - BBC documentary in which they do experiments to discover more about how the velociraptor’s claws were used
