Jhayk' Sulliy renamed our article Velociraptor mongoliensis to Velociraptor giganticus. Claiming the novel raptors resembled the Achillobator giganticus.
From forum:
"In the map at the beginning of The Lost World novel we get a picture of the Raptors in the novel. Underneath every dinosaur is the length measurement. The raptor is described as 6ft long there."
- "in text it's described as 6ft tall. If the JP novel raptors were 6ft tall and 6ft long, then they'd be a square. That image is not of a square animal."
- Novel bundle, page 118: head 2 feet tall
- Novel bundle, page 119: 6 feet tall
- Novel bundle, page 329: Tim first sees the raptor in the restaurant. Raptor is 6 feet (1.80) tall.
- Lost World novel map: 6 feet long
- Novel bundle, page 627: 6 feet tall bodies.
English isn't my native language. But can't "tall" also mean length? I find it very strange that if there is a pack of 6 meter long creatures, only their 2 meter height.
