Actually the dinosaur called velociraptor in Jurassic Park isn't a velociraptor at all. Velociraptors were a lot smaller, with their hips reaching half a metre, length 180-200 cm (half of which was tail) and total maximum height half that of a man, weighing in at 15 kg. Also, a number of people assume it was feathered and a handful of people even consider it to be a bird in the fullest sense of the word, and no longer a dinosaur.

And they probably weren't all that smart either. I mean the velociraptors, not the people.

My favourite's triceratops, don't know why, just liked it as a kid.

Jurassic Park is the most historically accurate movie in the history of motion pictures.

Other - Utahraptor, huge.

My childhood favorites were among any number of predator species, but the ankylosaurus was hands down my favorite herbivore, though I did appreciate my rubber triceratops. Sad that neither of these species were on the poll, but you can only have so many options.

JP canon, it's been argued that the velociraptors and other dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren't true dinosaurs at all, due to cross-contamination with amphibian DNA. Therefore, they would be considered mutant velociraptors. Filmwise, the artists made the raptors a bit larger to make them a bit more intimidating. Coincidentally, my favorite (utahraptor) is a larger variety of family Dromaeosauridae (utahraptor itself about 20 feet long, 8 feet tall, and weighing roughly 3/4 a US ton), and was discovered only a few years after the release of Jurassic Park. A pity JP wasn't made in the mid-90's instead...but without the late 80's release, we wouldn't have had Sega's excellent Genesis rendition.

Here he is terrorizing an innocent caveman, who just happens to look like Jack Gilford.

If it was released in the mid nineties they still would have called it velociraptor because that sounds a lot cooler. And I wouldn't call the things in JP to be "a little bigger" than the actual animal.

Isn't that exactly what I posted?  And isn't that exactly what was subsequently corrected in a subsequent post?  Reading FTW.

I actually decided to post when I read your "velociraptor was a fictional dinosaur actually". I just stopped reading there.

I just had a problem with everybody thinking velociraptors were so cool while what they had in mind for a velociraptor was not really a velociraptor, and when you said velociraptors didn't exist at all I just didn't have the courage anymore to keep reading.

I actually got beat up by a couple of kids in grammar school because I was a fucking liar for saying that those little cuties in JP weren't velociraptors at all, so the whole velociraptor topic is kind of sensitive for me

Seriously, why isn't Utahraptor a choice?

I got this book right here; Raptor Red. Maybe you've heard of it? No? Well, I'll transcribe a paragraph from the introduction, written by the Robert T. Bakker himself.

"When the movie Jurassic Park came out at the beginning of the summoer of 1993, it became the biggest blockbuster ever and made Velociraptor a household word. A significant percentage of the moviegoing public knew that the true star was more accurately called Utahraptor."

The Liopleurodon,  while not a dino, but a plesiosaur, was awesome! Largest carnivore ever to exist on earth. Google it, or better yet rent 'Walking With Dinosaurs' and watch the episode about the sea....

Edit:Made it readable....

Yes I know that the actual Dino seen in Jurassic Park is a denonychous (sp?). Still scared the crap outta me. I sometimes see my two cats hunting in tandem in my front garden and think "Shit, just like those raptors"
