Velociraptor

Velociraptors were dinosaurs that lived in the Cretaceous Period of Mongolia, Asia. The dinosaur was made popular because of the 1993 Universal live-action film Jurassic Park. And they also appear as the tertiary/minor antagonists in the 2000 Disney CG film Dinosaur.

Personality
Although not evil, they are hunters who need food to survive, they have no malicious intent. They just care about feeding themselves to survive, as they don't care for no one else.

Role in the film
As Aladar and the lemurs walk through the barren wasteland, they see a Velociraptor go by, Aladar and the lemurs became curious on what it is and decide to check it out. When they found it, it snarled at them and others came, and started chasing them. They soon ran away when the herd, led by Kron, came by. After Aladar walked the opposite direction of the herd, he and the lemurs looked at the herd. Yar was about to convince Aladar not to be in the herd until Zini, spots the Velociraptors and Aladar and his family then decides to join the herd for protection against the raptors. Although very dangerous, the raptors are not seen as a major threat by the adult dinosaurs in the main herd, as Eema, tells Aladar that they are the only ones following them.

Later as the herd migrates to find some water, Aladar sees one of the dinosaurs, Struthiomimus has died of exhaustion and some Velociraptors coming near by and there were three of them only. With no choice on helping the dead dinosaur, Aladar decides to keep on going, as the raptors soon start to feast on it. A little later, when Eema collapsed, Aladar told her that she must get up without getting eaten, and that there out there, waiting. However, the Velociraptors have already eaten their fill. Suddenly, two Carnotaurus come and scare them away. They are not seen again for the remainder of the movie.

Disney Parks
Velociraptor appears on the ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom, DINOSAUR. One is seen right after the riders see the Parasaurolophus. It is identified as "Raptor".

Trivia

 * The Velociraptors in Dinosaur were originally supposed to have feathers, but they were removed as the team felt that audiences wouldn't take them as a serious threat that way and went with the popular scaly perception.
 * In Jurassic Park, the fleet-footed Velociraptor rose out of nowhere to become one of the most famous dinosaurs. However, Velociraptors are actually less than half a human size.
