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.
