Velociraptor Size Comparison
Velociraptor 3D Viewer pairs published turkey-scale figures with a 1.8 m person on screen - length about 2 m (range 1.5-2 m), hip height about 0.5 m, and weight about 15-20 kg - so the film-vs-fossil gap stays readable at a glance.
Velociraptor published figures
The Velociraptor facts panel and this table use the same real published measures (a range where sources disagree):
| Measure | Figure | Vs a 1.8 m person |
|---|---|---|
| Length | about 2 m (range 1.5-2 m) | ~0.8x to ~1.1x a person end-to-end; model uses ~1.1x |
| Hip height | about 0.5 m | ~0.3x adult standing height |
| Weight | about 15-20 kg | roughly a large turkey, not a human-mass predator |
| Sickle claw | more than 6.5 cm outer curve | second toe; function still debated |
| When it lived | 75-71 million years ago | Late Cretaceous, Gobi Desert |
How the Velociraptor size-vs-human toggle stays honest
The Velociraptor model is drawn to a fixed on-screen length so it fits the canvas; the Size vs human control then places a 1.8 m person at the true length ratio to the about 2 m representative figure (within the published 1.5-2 m range). Tap Size vs human under the canvas to show or hide the scale figure - the comparison is proportional, not a decorative sticker.
What a person would see beside a Velociraptor
At about 0.5 m at the hips, a Velociraptor hip joint sits well below a 1.8 m person's waist. From snout to tail the animal spans roughly 2 m - turn on the person in the viewer and stand the camera beside a hind leg to feel how much smaller it is than film depictions.
What the Velociraptor size numbers are not
The Velociraptor size comparison uses published bone-based estimates with an honest range; skin color is an artistic reconstruction and the model does not render feathers even though 2007 quill-knob evidence is on the viewer page.
