A size comparison diagram between a real-life Velociraptor (green) and a Velociraptor from Jurassic Park (orange) alongside a human (blue) Real Velociraptors measured approximately 2 feet (0.61 m) in height and 6 feet (1.8 m) in length.

Additionally, the thickness of the tibia indicates that the animal possessed a significant leg force in order to kill prey.
