Velociraptors were small, feathered, meat-eating dinosaurs that lived 80-85 million years ago. They were about 5-6 feet long, 2.5-3 feet tall, and weighed 15-40 pounds. They had sickle-clawed hands and feet, a long stiff tail, and a thin snout. An asteroid impact around 160 million years ago caused widespread extinction of dinosaurs by changing the climate and environment through acid rain, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, making it difficult for many dinosaurs to survive. Plant-eating dinosaurs made up most of the population and ate plants like trees, ferns, and later fruits, while meat-eaters hunted animals and some sc
