Bioraptor manufactius

***Bioraptor manufactius*** is an original species designed and collaborated by User:GurgiFan57. It is a cloned dromaeosaurid that was created by BioScience Industries as an attempt to recreate non-avian dinosaurs, however, this species was cloned with various scientific inaccuracies.

## Appearance and anatomy

As it was unintentionally incorrectly cloned, *Bioraptor manufactius* has many scientific inaccuracies; it is much larger than its Mesozoic counterparts other than large forms such as *Utahraptor*, standing around 2 meters tall, measuring nearly 4 meters long, and weighing around 500 pounds. It has a boxy, stout head build and a robust body build compared to Cretaceous dromaeosaurs and blunt edged sickle claws. Due to being inaccurately bred, it is completely featherless and, due to its wrist bones being modified, has the ability to pronate its wrists, allowing it to manipulate objects more easily. Its eyes have slit-shaped pupils that shrinks in width to see in bright areas, but grows in width if it is in dark areas. The coloration of this species varies wildly between individuals, coming in various colors and patterns similarly to outdated, pop culture scaly raptors in many media, depending on a breed. *Bioraptor manufactius* is also very fast, quick, and agile - able to move through and around just about any obstacle, jump great heights and distances, and adapted to changing areas.

## Behavior and ecology

*Bioraptor manufactius* lives in various environments, being accompanied by humans throughout the world. The aggression level varies, not by breed, but by how it is treated; for instance, if it is cared properly, it will be docile and friendly, but if mistreated, it may become highly aggressive. Some breeds have been bred to to track down anything or anyone marked with a red laser and to be persistent enough to follow them long distances.

### Diet

*Bioraptor manufactius*, like its Mesozoic counterparts, is a carnivore and adapted to feed on a wide array of prey animals in the wild.

### Behavior and intelligence

Unlike the dromaeosaurs of the Mesozoic, which had average brain sizes comparable to modern ratities, *Bioraptor manufactius* has a much more heightened intelligence, more comparable to those of primates and cetaceans, making it among the smartest non-human animals on Earth. As a result of its increase in intelligence, *Bioraptor manufactius* has cognitive abilities and is able to solve problems quickly and easily through training.

### Reproduction

*Bioraptor manufactius* mates for life, producing a clutch of over 12 eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the young are capable of standing, walking, and running within just hours, like some birds. The species, if in the wild, teaches their young how to find and catch prey animals, etc.

## Trivia

*Bioraptor manufactius* was first bred on July 27, 1986, making it the first ever non-avian dinosaur brought back from extinction, filling missing gaps in its DNA with monitor lizard DNA, which explains why they have scales instead of feathers and why females can sometimes reproduce without males. The intelligence of *Bioraptor manufactius* may have been either due to a fluke in cloning or due to scientists implementing cetacean/ape DNA, which may possibly have influenced its pronating wrist ability. Nowadays, there are more than 15 breeds of *Bioraptor manufactius*, with the smallest breeds about the size of small horses being favored as pets. There is a controversy, however, that this species should have not used lizard DNA and instead used bird DNA, as birds are dinosaurs while lizards are not; the result of bird DNA would have made the species more accurate.

Although marketed as *Velociraptor* by some major pet sellers, it is not a *Velociraptor* as its DNA was used from the then-undescribed dromaeosaurs such as *Dakotaraptor* and *Utahraptor*, just to name a few. This animal may have inspired Jurassic Park to name the fictional dinosaurs *Velociraptor* despite not resembling the real *Velociraptor* one bit and being discovered in North America in the novel and film.
