According to Dinodata.net, wich I just came from, Procomps are in the group Coelurosauria. So I guess they are both more closely related than I thought. Althought Coelopysoids ARE Ceratosaurians. The Velociraptors in the book, according to the inside cover of The Lost World, are six feet long. The same size as the real Velociraptor. The size change was Speilberg's idea, not Crichtons. Man Speilberg's an idiot. True about the Utahraptor. Hell the real thing is about as big as a full grown Dilophosaurus. About 8-10 feet tall not six like in the film.

Tarbosaurus bataar/Tyrannosaurus bataar (God, they change it like every week, it feels like) is the Eastern Asian relative of Tyrannosaurus rex. It's such a close relative, in fact, that whether or not it's its own genus (Tarbosaurus) or simply another species of Tyrannosaurus is seemingly in constant question. It's about the same size, but with a slightly different skull shape, if I remember right.

And not as heavily built.

It probably was a Utahraptor..but thats in Utah and Wyoming. So your not the only curious and confused one here /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /> Its like a 20's car driving into a gas station which doesnt even have the right kind of gasoline the car needs (My friend told me the gasoline was soo different)

.....go back and re-read some of my posts. Utahraptor ostrummaysorum was bigger than that!

Besides, what is there to prevent an animal uncovered in Wyoming & Utah from also once living in the area of Montana or whever the hell it was in the movie? The entire western portion of the continent was one relatively narrow landmass during the later Cretaceous.

Deinonychus was later seperated into it's own genera again, but in the novel version of Jurassic Park it basically mentions that the Velociraptors seen on Nublar are Deinonychus. Why was it kept the same in the movie? For the most part it may have not been noticed at all and the fact the threat level they had at that size. It's much more terrifying to fight something carnivorous at a human size (ex. see the Alien and Predator series of movies).

I shall re-post again so they don't have to travel.

Yes, megaraptor is 12ft tall and has a 9inch claw (omg!! enough to go through my new jukebox!) Neways, it is the biggest raptor to be part of the raptor family to be discovered (or ever will be)
