so this quiz creater (no offense) clearly didn’t do much research because the velocirapter never existed it was proven to be a skeleton of deinochyus
Velociraptor was still a real species of dinosaur despite being represented incorrectly in Jurassic Park as being closer to the size of a deinonychus. They’re two different species. You’ve got a bit mixed up!
15/15!!!!
15/15!!!!! lets go!
You got 10 out of 15!

In one question regarding approximately when dinosaurs became extinct, NONE of the choices are correct. I only voted for 65 million years ago because it was the closest to the actual correct answer of 66 million years ago.
Ya you’re correct.
