The velociraptors in the Jurassic Park franchises is good. The velociraptors in real life is good as well. This is a reason why I love Dromaeosaurs, because despite the differences in sizes, behavior and with or without feathers, they're awesome. The same applies to the Deinonychus, Utahraptor, Pyroraptor, Dromaeosaurus and other Dromaeosaurids species. Even the Venatosaurus from the King Kong franchise is my favorite.

[@saintjackula9615]

I love the theories on how "wing" feathers were for sexual selection, and for balancing while on top of prey. They may also have later used the wings for brief gliding, just like turkeys. Turkeys roost in trees, I have seen them do it on a farm. I think a main hunting style was to grasp medium to large prey with forelimbs, and to then dig in with the hind sickles. I have seen cats do this, and it is brutal, to grab something and hold it while you dig at it with hind feet claws.

[@luciangabrielpopescu]

This theory makes sense but there's also another one: having wing feathers, along with extended hands/wings, make that animal appear larger and more menacing. Many if not most birds still resort to this behavior that increases chance of survival against predators

[@anthonyferguson9783]

I grew up thinking Raptors were big lizards, now I'm finding out they were super massive chickens with teeth 😭

[@MsNicoleLeo]

Human emotional attachment to the appearance of extinct animals that have been imagined by another human being as appearing one way or another is highly illogical, regardless if the extinct animals had feathers or not! Our “belief” in what something looked like does not change what it looked like when it was extant.

[@dragonsamurai559]

A counterpoint we don't truthfully know how most dinosaurs looked entirely. Evolutionists were OBSESSED with the idea of all Dinosaurs being overglorified birds but then their shoebill T-Rex gets quickly shut down by scale prints.

[@ONYX_Maximus]

For the “grabbing with their hands” that’s inaccurate because they used their hands like wings and flapping to stay balanced while eating it’s prey alive

[@luckydal2059]

They actually used their partially-developed wings to climb. Studies have shown how birds that can fly will still run up steep inclines while flapping to hold themselves closer to the tree so as not to fall backwards off of it. The most common theory is that these clawed wings that didn’t offer flight were a transitional stage that allowed the animals to get to higher ground via helping them climb. They would then use them to flutter down after the coast was clear. Then, ultimately, they evolved into wings for flight.

[@lincs4life]

Anyone ever considered they are ambush predators and would use thair wings to glide down or dive on to thair pray from above like other raptors

[@Tyme_Whyrlwynd]

There's something you forgot to address: Velociraptor's name meaning and why it might be better off being renamed to something more appropriate, in the way Troodon became Latenivenatrix. The name Velociraptor means "Speedy Thief", however it is very likely that a real Velociraptor would not be able to run very fast. Why? Because of its short, stubby legs that weren't suited to chasing or running. It is very likely that Velociraptor was an ambush predator, and if it were able to climb trees it was likely that it could have leapt from them to pin down its prey. This means that it was likely for Velociraptor to have hunted smaller prey. The second toe may have been used as a piercing weapon for the purpose of pinning down the target or to puncture vital organs such as the trachea (windpipe) for an easy takedown. Considering that Velociraptor was not very fast and wasn't particularly raptorial either (as it was unable to grab and hold using its hands, thieving, anyone?) it may be time for a new genus. What name would it have? I can't say. However, it would need to appropriately tell what kind of animal we're looking at. Our perception of Velociraptor changed drastically, after all. Another thing to note is that if the real Velociraptor would be renamed, that the Jurassic Park "Velociraptor" still has this name. In fact, I kind of want to see that happen. This is because Jurassic Park's "Velociraptor" would be purely fictional, and the name would be relegated to a fictional movie monster rather than a real, extinct prehistoric animal. That aside, I think your video is a great analysis of one of the most misunderstood dinosaurs described within paleontology.

History does not follow a linear path, so it's not possible to explain 300,000 years of history when you do not know about the cycle of natural disasters that is affecting the earth and its inhabitants in a severe way. One of the effects of these disasters is that a large part of the earth is covered with a mud layer and the northern part is covered with ice. That cycle is mentioned in several ancient books as the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya. Such a cycle can only be caused by a heavenly body that is approaching the sun and its planets with long time intervals. We now know this planet as planet 9. Countless names are used worldwide to name this planet and the disasters that are battering the planet Earth. Noah's Flood is one of them. Quetzalcoatl, Shiva or Nibiru are others. As an effect of these recurring disasters, civilizations come and go in a fixed schedule. To learn much more about the cycle of recurring floods, the recreation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology, read the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". You can read it nicely on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

I recently first viewed this video several weeks ago. I've seen many videos and lectures regarding raptorial dinosaurs over the years and have given many myself. This one stands out as being very accurate and very thorough. The illustrations are some of the best paleo artists recognized today. Many of the fossil evidence and how it related to their taxonomy and physiology to be quite excellent. I have had the fortune to work on many of their fossil over the last several decades and these animals are some of the most unique past creatures ever to exist. The smaller species in my opinion were in most probability mixed feeder and rather arboreal tree hoppers in nature and similar to many avians living in closed and partially forested land scapes. However the habitat related to Velociraptor in Mongolia has been researched to be semi desert sand dunes. I believe the killer claw has been over popularized for being a weapon. It's just as likely to have been used to control and hold and restrain prey. One group including Adasaurus has a very unique killer claw being rather short and more stout than those found in both Velociraptor monoglensis and Saurornitholestes langstoni being thinner and longer. This may imply a use other than slashing for killing and would be effective in grasping and climbing. Also the phalanx on the killer second digit is rather unique and has a rather thickened posterior heal that is similar to what is found in the same element in modern woodpeckers and several researcher believe they may have been rather arboreal and may have been a fairly active tree hopper specialized in dispatching tree lizards and frogs and birds living in heavily forested habitats. However when you consider larger dromaeosaur raptor's this scenario is tenuous to visualize a 25 foot or larger tree hopper! Furthermore the fighting Gobi dinosaur can suggest larger prey to have been occasional prey. It likelier that the dromaeosaurs like Utahraptor and Dakotaraptor were hunting larger prey considering their incredible size. Unfortunately both genus are very fragmentary and rare in the fossil record and much more study is required. Hopefully the Utahraptor block of fossils discovered by the Dr. James Kirkland team will discover more about these amazing creatures. As for the content of this video I find it one of the best around, great content, very current scientific viewpoints and extreemly quality illustrations. I truly believe on my studies that if you saw a velociraptor in the wild from a reasonable distance your first reaction would be that it was a rather unusual unique looking bird. Hopefully continued research will more clearly define their lifestyle.

Actually they did have claws but with feathers the dromaeosaurids were known for their feathers and there has been countless research that they did

[@toyohimeyeswatatsuki6917]

Science always inconsistent over time and they also have feathers with claws

That kid from the first JP movie was right. "It looks like a 6 foot turkey"

Legend has it that boy grew up to be Owen Grady
