The Safari Ltd. Feathered Velociraptor showcases the Velociraptor's distinctive features, including a slender body, a long, stiff tail for balance, and two long legs equipped with sharp-clawed toes, notably the enlarged sickle-shaped claw on each foot used for hunting.
The figure is adorned with dappled ginger plumage, that would help it sneak up on sususpecting prey. While still under debate, this figure reflects the current scientific consensus that Velociraptors were feathered creatures. The feathers on this figure are meticulously sculpted and varied - with hair-like pin-feathers on the back and body and more traditional long feathers on the ends of the wings. Features a fan of feathers along the tail, emphasizing the dinosaur's close evolutionary relationship with modern birds.
The open mouth shows the chompy chomp teeth - ready to tear apart its prey.
The Safari Ltd. Feathered Velociraptor measures approx: 8.5 inches long and 2.75 inches high
Velociraptor was a small, carnivorous dinosaur that lived in Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous, 71 to 75 million years ago. Unlike the fictional movie counterpart that made this species famous, the real Velociraptor was only about the size of a turkey and was covered in feathers. Despite its diminutive stature and feathery appearance, Velociraptor was an effective predator that used its dangerously sharp teeth and claws to subdue small prey and other dinosaurs.
