Hola mis amigas! Day one of our most awesome blog!
Kaylee wants me to post about Velociraptors so I did. The Velocoraptor lived about 75 to 71 ago which was during the later part of the Cretaceous period. Two species are currently known; the V. mongoliensis and the V. osmolskae which was named in 2008. Both of these fossils were found in Mongolia. The scientific classification of the Velociraptor is:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Family: Dromaeosauridae
Sub-Family: Velociraptoriniae
Genus: velociraptor
The Velociraptor was a mid-sized dromaesaurid. They had large hands with 3 long, curved claws which proved to scientists that the Velociraptor was a predator to many smaller dinoosaurs. Paleontologists discovered, in 2007, that the dinosaur had feathers due to a well preserved fossil of the Velociraptor.
Here's a clip with velociraptors that I found:

So there you go, now you know more about Velociraptors.
Summer has been pretty unexciting so far. Apart from me discovering Les Misarables! Thank you Jessie! It doesn't really seem like summer, to me it just seems like a school break. I miss you guys!
