Meet the Velociraptor, one of the most intelligent and agile predators of the Late Cretaceous period. Far smaller than movies often portray, this real-life hunter relied on speed, sharp senses, and strategy rather than size alone. Its most famous feature—the large, curved sickle claw on each hind foot—was used to grip and restrain prey with precision.
Scientists believe Velociraptors were likely feathered, sharing many traits with modern birds. The Schleich® Velociraptor figurine reflects current scientific understanding with realistic proportions, a dynamic stalking pose, and finely sculpted details—making it ideal for imaginative play, learning, and display.
