I just learned that velociraptors most likely looked NOTHING like they appeared in Jurassic Park. Top photo is how Stephen Spielberg and the late Michael Crichton portrayed them. Below photo is a more "realistic interpretation" based on "scientific facts" found by "paleontologists."
FEATHERS?! COLOR-CODING?! WHY DID THEY LIE TO ME?!
Just a reminder that story-tellers lie. Even if we're telling a story based on "facts" or "science" or "true events," we're going to lie. Why? Because it's more fun.
Though part of me just died from learning this (specifically the 9-year-old part of me), there is a plus side: now the velociraptor that still torments me in my sleep won't scare me, because, well, it looks like a fucking clown lizard.
