BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Dino reputation ‘is exaggerated’: “The Velociraptor dinosaur made famous by the Hollywood movie Jurassic Park may not have been quite the super-efficient killer we all thought.
Like other dinos in its family, it had a distinctive sickle-shaped claw on the second toe which many have assumed was employed to disembowel victims.
But tests on a mechanical arm suggest this fearsome-looking appendage was probably used just to hang on to prey.”
Initial reaction on DINOSAUR mailing list was that this is a pretty plausible study.
