The drawing of the top of the dromaeosaurid reveals a exceptional degree of element and a cautious selection of colors as an instance this dinosaur. The Velociraptor sports activities some quills on the highest of its head and the top and neck are lined in a wide range of totally different sized scales. The Velociraptor has a outstanding, scarlet boss on its naris and blue pigmentation across the eye.

A Detailed Drawing
A spokesperson for the UK-based Every thing Dinosaur commented:
“The Velociraptor illustration is such an in depth drawing. Palaeontologists are starting to grasp just a little extra in regards to the integumentary coverings of dinosaurs as extra impressions of fossilised pores and skin are studied. It’s probably that many genera have been lined in scales of various sizes and shapes. As visible communication was vital to those lithe, little hunters, why not give Velociraptor vivid facial markings.”
