This is my toy dinosaur. Her name is Veronica. She is from Amazon.com. She is 4 inches tall and 7.75 inches wide. Real life Velociraptors can grow to be 1.6 feet tall and 6.8 feet long.

Veronica is a Dinosauria Velociraptor Mongoliensis. She has a big family.

Here is her family tree.

Veronica lived a long time ago. The era she lived in is the Cretaceous period.

Veronica's family was found in the Mongolian Goli Desert in 1923 by Peter Kaisen. Henry Osborn named them Velociraptors in 1924.

This is an artist's idea of what they looked like when they roamed the Earth. The artist is Todd Marshall. This art is wonderful, since it shows how much energy they had.
