 * Oversized
 * Fat, widened snout

These traits belong to a (not feathered) Deinonychus. That means Velociraptor looks blatantly to be a Deinonychus, when in reality, it’s not.

I get the feeling I’m complaining, I’m just sad that they would change its identity. Maybe they’ll change it back in the near future. I mean they still look like a normal dromeosaur, which is the variety of dinosaur that Velociraptor belongs to. What I meant was they didn't add some feature of its body that made it so blatently one species or another, as they have done with the obvious Sinoceratops' horns and frill spikes. In that case, there isn't any other ceratopsid it could be without it seeming very strange.
