Jurassic Franchise Featured in Every Film in the franchise, the JP Raptors are what likely comes to mind when the word Raptor is heard. In the novels, the raptors were based heavily upon Deinonychus, sharing a similar appearance to the ___ Illustration. But upon the film's release, Spielberg said they should be larger to be more intimidating, larger raptors like Utahraptor or Austroraptor have not been discovered yet, so it was a good call from the film producers.

The Original Velociraptors have the most clear eyes, when you look at her you can tell she's looking right back.

The Jp3 raptors tend to be most peoples favorites i think it's because of the males quils and the sexual dimorphism.

The male and female look kinda odd when next to eachother the patterns are not very similar. Also the jp3 raptors have round pupils while the rest have slit ones

Blue is the only one that really matters but their names from left to right are Charlie Echo Blue Delta

This is the best design in my opinion, the colors are vibrant and the quils are a nice touch. To bad they are only in this movie to be foder to hype up the mutadon.

Prehistoric Kingdom Im not a big fan of the Oasis skin I think the mohawk of feathers looks stupid. But I like their dessert hawk inspired patterns it looks very realistic and grounded.

This file in particular proved very difficult to upload, but it was worth it look how cute the velociraptor chick is!
