I don't know why people keep saying that the "velociraptors" are actually deinonychus when they would be more comparable in size to achillobator. In the novel, it is stated that they are a mongolian species, not North American. Also, at the time, Achillobator fossils were new, and thus labeled as velociraptor. Deinonychus wasn't "man-sized", it was roughly the size of a timberwolf. If they are in fact north american, Utahraptor would be a better choice than deinonychus.
