Velociraptor is the name for a small, fast-running, carnivorous dinosaur. According to biblical young earth creationism beliefs, it was created on the fifth creation day (approximately 6000 B.C.).[1][2] Velociraptor was small for a dromaeosaurid, with adults measuring up to 1.8 meters (5.9 ft) long, 0.62 meters (2 ft) high at the hip, and weighing 20 kilograms (45 lb)[3] The Bible says that two of every sort of land vertebrate (seven of the “clean” animals) were brought by God to the Ark. Therefore it is speculated that Velociraptor (land vertebrates) were represented on the Ark.[4] So it logical to assume that Velociraptor survived the flood (4300 B.C). The velociraptor is now extinct.
