Velociraptor

Velociraptor was a predatory dromaeosaur of the Upper Cretaceous, about 75–71 million years ago. It was a slender, lightly built carnivore. It was about two meters long (nearly seven feet) and 0.62 meters tall at the hip.
Velociraptor had one sickle-shaped claw on its foot which measured 6.5 centimeters along its length, and a smaller one on each hand. Velociraptor was warm blooded and had feathers.
Fossils of Velociraptor were first found in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia in 1922. In 1988, scientists from China found Velociraptor skeletons in northern China. In September 2007 researchers found quill knobs on the forearm of a Velociraptor found in Mongolia.
These bumps on bird wing bones show where feathers anchor, and their presence on Velociraptor indicate it also had feathers.
