Papo Feathered Velociraptor Figure

A Papo figure of the velociraptor, the small, fast predator many people picture when they think of the Cretaceous. This version has feathers, reflecting the current scientific view that velociraptors were feathered rather than scaly.

Papo's dinosaur range suits people who prefer models that resemble the animals scientists describe rather than cartoon versions of them. The figure sits well on a shelf beside other prehistoric animals, and it works in a play scene too, posed hunting through grass or stalking across a table.

For a Cretaceous display, this is a sensible choice, and a good way to show how much the reconstruction of these animals has changed in recent decades.
