  That’s why they’re called velociraptors.

    I thought they were called like this because of their love of bicycles.

      Jaws was never their scene.

    Nah, you’re thinking of the much more dangerous “acceleraptors”. Velociraptors were very different from how they are commonly portrayed.

        No, much like how brontosaurus was later discovered to be a mix of bones from various individuals, “Distanceraptor” is actually a conflation of multiple Displacemosaurids.
