The '''Velociraptor''' was a species carnivorous theropod that lived roughly 75 to 71 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous Period. It was the first species to be revived by [[InGen (Film Universe)|InGen]] in 1986 through their [[De-Extinction (Film Universe)|De-Extinction]] process. They were planned to be exhibited at [[Jurassic Park (Film Universe)|Jurassic Park]] before its abandonment but were later revived for [[Project I.B.R.I.S. (Film Universe)|Project I.B.R.I.S.]] as part of a research program to test their intelligence for real-world applications.

Velociraptors were medium sized carnivorous pack hunters. There are three known subsets, plus notable sexual dimorphism.

===Appearance and Physical Attributes===
 
There are three distinct variations of Velociraptor which were cloned by InGen, not counting sexual dimorphism seen within each individual version. However, despite the surface level variations, each sub-species remains relatively similiar in terms of physical attributes. Each species is roughly 6 feet tall, 13 feet long and weigh over 350llbs. They're each covered in taut, leathery skin not unlike that of a Komodo Dragons, with degrees and variation seen between subset and sexes.

Curiously, the animal InGen called Velociraptor is likely not a Velociraptor at all, but rather a larger species of Dromaeosaur. Velcoriraptors discovered by paleontologists are much smaller, roughly 6 feet long and only 1.5 feet tall. It is believed that the animal misidentified as a Velociraptor by InGens scientists was possibly a Atrociraptor judging by skull alone, but more likely a Achillobator which is close in profile and size.

===Behaviour and Personality===
 +
Intelligent and deadly, Velociraptors are by far the most dangerous animals cloned by InGen. While incredibly aggressive, they are also very social animals with a complex pack dynamic. Like an inverse of a pride of lions, Velociraptors are typically observed with a few females leading the pack, with males making up the majority of the population.
  
==History==
+
Velociraptors typically stay near their nest, and venture out further to hunt - though they have been observed leaving their territory if they still perceive previous intruders as a threat. Velociraptors are particularly defensive of their nests and eggs.
  
==Classification==
+
The position of 'Alpha' within the pack is a very important part of their dynamic, and is typically respected. However, the animals have been known to fight amongst themselves to earn that spot - and those fights can often prove deadly.
  
===InGen's Version 1.0 (Jurassic Park, The Lost World)===
+
Each of the three raptor variations seemingly share the same 'language', displaying a complex and unique series of screeches, barks, growls and hisses.
This subset of Velociraptor is not only the first version of raptor cloned by InGen, but also the first ever successful dinosaur species brought back via 'De-extinction' in 1986. Version 1.0 is known to exist natively on both Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna.
 
  
Both the males and females have piercing, veiny, yellow eyes and nearly identical physical builds. The largest difference between each sex is color, and number per pride.
+
==History==
  
The female Velocirapors are primarily a muted orangeish brown, with darker brown horizontal speckling and splotching overtop with a gunmetal green hue throughout. Their underbelly is a lighter beige color, which transitions to the darker hues the higher it goes up the body. The females have very little distinct striping or spotting, and can appear rather uniform in color until closer, well lit inspection.
+
The initial batch of Velociraptors were bred Isla Sorna, and transferred to Nublar in 1990 once they had hit adulthood. Originally, 8 raptors were brought to Jurassic Park and were given a larger [[Velociraptor Paddock (Film Universe)|Paddock]]. However, the Alpha known as [[The Big One (Film Universe)|The Big One]] clashed with many of the other females, killing all but two of the others. After that incident, those three were moved to a smaller [[Velociraptor Pen (Film Universe)|Containment Pen]] for better supervision.
  
Natural born male V.1 raptors are a more vibrant orange than their female counterparts, with a beige underbelly and less dark splotching overall. They're easily distinguished from the female packmates as they are covered in vertical dark brown stripes, not entirely unlike that seen in Bengal Tigers. (NOTE: it is unclear if female born Velociraptors which changed sex to male also underwent a color change)

However, the Alpha known as 'The Big One' clashed with many of the other females, and was believed to have killed all but two of the others. After that incident, those three were moved to a smaller paddock for better supervision. Though unsubstantiated, it is possible that these surviving packmates had changed sex to male, leading to better temperance and pack dynamics.

The Velociraptor rushed out of the opening, knocking the Crate free of the Pen's magnetic locks. Falling into the gap between the Crate and Pen, Jophery was pulled inside by the Raptor. The Animal Handlers swarmed the crate attempting unsuccessfully to taser the raptor. Discarding his weapon, Muldoon threw himself into the opening, grabbing Jophery and trying to pull him free.

Given this information, it seems likely that 'The Big One' did not kill all 5 of the other Velociraptors, but only some while others escaped and bred in the wild. It is believed, yet unconfirmed, these wild raptors traveled to the northern sect of Isla Nublar, and nest in the geothermal caves.

Description

Velociraptors were medium sized carnivorous pack hunters. There are three known subsets, plus notable sexual dimorphism.

Appearance and Physical Attributes

There are three distinct variations of Velociraptor which were cloned by InGen, not counting sexual dimorphism seen within each individual version. However, despite the surface level variations, each sub-species remains relatively similiar in terms of physical attributes. Each species is roughly 6 feet tall, 13 feet long and weigh over 350llbs. They're each covered in taut, leathery skin not unlike that of a Komodo Dragons, with degrees and variation seen between subset and sexes.

Notably, they feature a 6 inch retractable sickle "killing claw" on the inner toes of each foot, which is one of the animals most signature deadly weapons. While the skull structure varies between each subset, they all feature a pronounced orbital socket with distinct antorbital fenestra ridges. Much like many modern reptiles, these animals mouths were lined with a strong lip structure.

Agile and remarkably strong, Velociraptors are incredible jumpers and can reach speeds of up to 50-60mph in the open.

Behaviour and Personality

Intelligent and deadly, Velociraptors are by far the most dangerous animals cloned by InGen. While incredibly aggressive, they are also very social animals with a complex pack dynamic. Like an inverse of a pride of lions, Velociraptors are typically observed with a few females leading the pack, with males making up the majority of the population.

Velociraptors typically stay near their nest, and venture out further to hunt - though they have been observed leaving their territory if they still perceive previous intruders as a threat. Velociraptors are particularly defensive of their nests and eggs.

The position of 'Alpha' within the pack is a very important part of their dynamic, and is typically respected. However, the animals have been known to fight amongst themselves to earn that spot - and those fights can often prove deadly.

Each of the three raptor variations seemingly share the same 'language', displaying a complex and unique series of screeches, barks, growls and hisses.

History

The initial batch of Velociraptors were bred Isla Sorna, and transferred to Nublar in 1990 once they had hit adulthood. Originally, 8 raptors were brought to Jurassic Park and were given a larger Paddock. However, the Alpha known as The Big One clashed with many of the other females, killing all but two of the others. After that incident, those three were moved to a smaller Containment Pen for better supervision.

The Isla Nublar Incident

Late one night, sometime in 1992, Animal Handlers and Park Veterinarians, under the supervision of Game Warden Robert Muldoon prepared the Pen for the arrival of The Big One, the most cunning and violent of the Velociraptor. She was transported from the Paddock to the Pen in one of Park's Containment Crates via a Construction Forklift. After setting it down at the base of the Pen, an anxious Pushing Team slid the Crate up to the Pen where it magnetically locked on to the entrance. Gate Keeper Jophery climbed the side of the Crate, and on the orders of Muldoon, began to open the Crate. The Velociraptor rushed out of the opening, knocking the Crate free of the Pen's magnetic locks. Falling into the gap between the Crate and Pen, Jophery was pulled inside by the Raptor. The Animal Handlers swarmed the crate attempting unsuccessfully to taser the raptor. Discarding his weapon, Muldoon threw himself into the opening, grabbing Jophery and trying to pull him free. The raptor proved to be stronger however, ripping Jophery from Muldoon's grip and dragging him inside the crate where it killed him. The team were eventually able to re-secure the raptor.

The Jurassic Park Incident

Whilst trekking back to the Visitors' Center, Alan Grant alongside Tim and Lex Murphy stumbled upon a freshly hatched Velociraptor nest in the wild, with distinct juvenile raptor footprints leading away from it.
