Meet the Dinosaurs 7: Velociraptor
Reporter: Hmm.
       I don't see any dinosaurs in this desert.
Velociraptor: Hey! Down here!
       I'm a Velociraptor.
Reporter: Oh, hello, little guy!
       Does your name mean short dinosaur?
Velociraptor: No! My name means fast robber.
Reporter: Why are you called a fast robber?
Velociraptor: I can run about forty kilometers per hour.
       That helps me grab food fast.
Reporter: Ooh! What do you eat?
Velociraptor: I'm a meat eater.
       I have a long claw on each foot.
       I use them like knives when I hunt.
Reporter: Can you fly?
Velociraptor: I have long feathers on my arms.
       So my arms look like wings.
       But I can't fly.
Reporter: Your tail is really long!
Velociraptor: It helps me balance when I move fast.
Reporter: How big are you?
Velociraptor: I'm two meters long.
       I weigh as much as a medium dog.
Reporter: What period is this?
Velociraptor: This is the Cretaceous period.
       We are 75 million years before your time.
Reporter: Do other dinosaurs live here?
Velociraptor: Yes. Oviraptors live here.
       And so do yummy Protoceratops.
       Oh. There's one now! Bye!
Reporter: Wow! You are fast! Good-bye!
Velociraptor: See you next time, little reporter!
