'''Velociraptor''' is the name for a group of small, fast-running, carnivorous, bird-like [[dinosaur]]s. Velociraptors were popularized by an inaccurate depiction of them in the movie "[[Jurassic Park]]".
'''Velociraptor''' is the name for a small, fast-running, carnivore, bird-like [[dinosaur]]. It was created on the fifth creation day (approximately 6000 B.C.)
.[1][2] Velociraptor was known in the bible as Behemoth which literally translated means "Giant Kingly Beast".[3] 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)[4]
The Bible says that two of every sort of land vertebrate (seven of the “clean” animals) were brought by God to the Ark. Therefore, Velociraptor (land vertebrates) were represented on the Ark.[5] So it logical to assume that Velociraptor survived the flood (4300 B.C). The velociraptor was thought hunted to extinction by early man , but may exist in unpopulated areas of the world.
