Most of the facts about the Velociraptor are now well known. This is due to the discovery of several fossils. It lived during the Cretaceous period and became extinct 70 to 80 million years ago. Like the other dinosaurs it likely perished when a comet / asteroid struck the Earth at the time.
The velociraptors in the 'Jurassic Park' movies are nothing like their real-life counterparts. One of the most memorable and frightening dinosaurs introduced in the Jurassic Park series is the Velociraptor. They may not be as gigantic as the T. rex, but the intimidating raptors have appeared in each of the three films so far. We'll see them again on screen in Jurassic World, which hits theaters June 12.
