The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were oversized and merciless killing machines.
The stuff of nightmares, yes. Reality stuff? Not much.
Scientific research has long held that real dinosaurs were far from the predatory monsters depicted in the film series, and that they are no longer the case. Much larger than wolves And covered in Not scary feathers.
But a team of paleontologists said they may have identified a close cousin of Velociraptor, called Megaraptor, that is much closer in size to the dinosaurs depicted in movies. In fact, the international team of researchers estimated that the fossilized footprints found in China were left by a dinosaur that would be among the largest birds of prey ever discovered.
