But velociraptors were actually about the size of medium-large dogs. When Jurrasic Park was making the models, the consultants stated the length from head to tail, and the modellers thought they were referring to height
Utahraptor is the size of the ones in the movie and was discovered the same year the movie came out. I like to think that’s what they are, but Crichton and/or Spielberg just thought “velociraptor” was a cooler name.
