I am happy that their Velociraptors are way more accurate than the ones in Jurassic Park, but they possess crests and have scales as opposed to feathers. The producers were originally going to put feathers on their velociraptors, but at the time, the feathers were very hard to animate. Unlike the Disney’s Dinosaur Velociraptors, the real life dinosaur did not have crests. While the movie’s dromaeosaurids hunt North American and European herbivorous dinosaurs, the real life animal preyed upon other theropods, small ceratopsians, pachycephalosaurids, and ankylosaurs. Despite common depiction, there is recent evidence that velociraptor and other dromaeosaurids did not hunt in packs (pack hunting has been proposed for larger theropods such as tyrannosaurids and some carcharodontosaurids). Just like a modern bird like the common ostrich, velociraptor was covered in feathers. Velociraptor could not fly with its feathers, but instead used it for display and insulation. and just like modern ostriches, they were probably sexually dimorphic, with dark plumage in males and lighter feathers in females.
