  That’s why they’re called velociraptors.

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

      So then distanceraptors are yet to be discoverd?

        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.

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