Description
This is a portrait of Velociraptor mongoliensis, a jackal-sized dromaeosaurid dinosaur which prowled the deserts of Asia during the Late Cretaceous (around 75-71 million years ago, to be precise). Although this is one of the dinosaurs that most likely had feathers, I chose to give it a scaly crocodile-like face since that's what I now believe to be an ancestral characteristic of theropod dinosaurs (we know the tyrannosaurid Daspletosaurus and the carnosaur Neovenator had that type of face, for example).
