Hi theropod1

No, in fact, there are some specimens bigger, the paratype remains for example, indicates an animal of nearly 3 meters in length.

Reawakening an old thread here, but just curious. What is the specimen number of the Velociraptor mongoliensis paratype?

I wasn´t aware of that. You are not referring to "V" antirrhopus, are you? I never heard of a V. mongoliensis or osmolskae that big...

We are referring to V.mongoliensis. One of the most complete specimens, IGM 100/986, indicates a 2.5 m long animal in the flesh.

How much would it have massed? One usually ready 15kg, but that´s certainloy too little if there where such large individuals.
