Velociraptor is the name of dinosaur's which translates to 'fast thief ' or 'swift seizer'.
Explanation:
- The name of Velociraptor means 'swift seizer.' Velociraptor existed (around 73 million years ago) in the late Cretaceous period.
- Velociraptor means "fast thief." This fast-running dinosaur, was really famous because of the film Jurassic Park. It was tiny and strong, and the sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each leg rendered it a fearsome predator.
- A different bone in his wrist permitted him to swivel his wrist sideways in a flapping motion and to fold his arm against his body like a bird.
- This motion allowed him to snap his arms forward to capture the fleeing prey and is an significant part of the flight stroke of modern birds.
- In 1922 the first known fossil of the Velociraptor was discovered in the Mongolian Gobi Desert.
