The "Velociraptors" seen in Jurassic Park were in fact Deinonychus-Velociraptor, which is actually not a species of Velociraptor at all and so is today called the Deinonychus-Antirrhopus. As for brain size, I am sorry to say that size does not matter if a creature does not use it correctly. You see the deinonychus and velociraptors acted (presumably) like todays monitors or komodo dragons. They vere vicious, and even though they hunted in packs, they were still quite primitive when it came to sociality, which is what more intelligence is based on. Their pack systems worked to Darwin's Laws with survival of the fittest. The bigger dinosaurs would eat first and the smaller ones would pick what's left. They were cannibals, attacking and eating their own weak or young if they got on their "cross" side.
Well, now I am just rambling on, but you get my point. I have nothing against Jurassic Park, velociraptors, or you. I am just trying to mend the bad image of velociraptors and deinonychus, however I possible have made it worse. Ah well, at least there won't be any more confusion over the two.
P.S. The "nature calling" is really pushing it. It isn't very funny and is more just disgusting.
P.S.S. Shuffle, are you by any chance trying to kill Karma or Dreamache? You seem to have it all worked out...
P.S.S.S. Please note I am not a Palentologist, and want no credit for this. If you want a more accurate picture speak to RoboRaptor (If you can catch him online). Even though I am not Majored in this, or anything else in fact (yet) I do have a knowledge of this.
P.S.S.S.S. I am sorry if any of this information is faulty, and please correct me if I have something incorrect. Just be sure to provide proper evidence and don't cuss and/or name call.
P.S.S.S.S.S. Sorry about all the P.S.'s I just end up adding things on.
