Why Jurassic Park Velociraptors Are So Much Bigger Than They Were In Real Life

Jurassic Park‘s Velociraptors are way bigger than their real counterparts, making it hard not to wonder why the movie took this creative liberty. Many elements in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park are scientifically accurate. For instance, although many moments in the film instill primal terrors in audiences, others ground the movie’s narrative in reality by portraying dinosaurs as animals instead of monsters. The movie’s portrayal of how different dinosaurs have varying levels of intelligence is also fairly accurate. However, in all of these accuracies, Jurassic Park also takes a lot of artistic freedom.
