Beyond the game
The real Bambiraptor
The reference specimen is less than a meter long and appears to be a juvenile. Its identity remains debated: it may be related to Saurornitholestes, and researchers have questioned whether all the associated bones belong together.
The small known specimen appears to be a juvenile, so its adult size is uncertain. Its identity is still debated, and some bones may not belong together. A responsible reconstruction needs to allow for these limits.
This family includes the animals commonly called raptors, with a large claw on the second toe. Feathers are documented in its members; movie reconstructions are not a reliable guide to their actual size.
