A woman in Florida caught a velociraptor on her security camera.
A resident of Palm Coast, Florida, caught an unusual-looking animal on her security camera and jokingly told her local TV station that it looked like a 'raptor,' (short for 'velociraptor,' a type of dinosaur that flourished around 75 million years ago), sparking a number of headlines to that effect. 'Woman says she filmed a 'velociraptor' running through her backyard,' a British news outlet's headline reported. The story also prompted a tongue-in-cheek tweet by Universal Orlando Resort, which has a 'Jurassic Park' attraction. https://t.co/4NzAZYg28D - Universal Orlando Resort (@UniversalORL) April 18, 2021 It doesn't appear that the woman who caught the footage, Cristina Ryan, seriously meant that she had a velociraptor on camera, however. She spoke to Orlando, Florida-based news station WOFL on April 18, 2021, and stated: 'Any animal we can come up with that would be 'walking' at 3:40 in the morning, wouldn't walk this way. Maybe I've watched 'Jurassic Park' too many times, but I see a raptor or other small dinosaur!' Ryan said the footage was captured during the week prior to her comments to WOFL at 3:40 a.m. The footage is grainy, and it's hard to tell for sure, but what appears on her camera to us looks like it might be a dog: We will update this story if we are able to get a definitive answer as to what the animal is. Dinosaurs went extinct tens of millions of years ago (except in our collective imaginations) so it's safe to say the animal isn't a velociraptor.
