While the Hollywood version may seem sleek and graceful, the Velociraptor seen in the film is closer in form to a much larger raptor called Deinonychus. Real Velociraptors were smaller, often loners and likely had feathers, leading some to describe them as "prehistoric chickens." Still, raptors as a whole were likely among the smartest of dinosaurs, due to the larger size of their brains relative to their bodies-the second highest brain-body weight ratio after the Troödon. This degree of intelligence is consistent with that of modern-day ostriches.
