Here in Utah, there is a dino museum with a little exhibit for the Utahraptor, and in it there is a movie about this very subject. It says that Spielberg wanted it to be taller so that it would be as scary as possible (highly intelligent, about the same as a man). So, yeah, they were designed to be as tall as men to be their dinosaur equivalent. Then, a few months after the film was released, paleontologists in Utah discovered the Utahraptor, but Spielberg decided to keep them as Velociraptors, although in the second one they were a little bit smaller, no? By the time JP3 was in development, the incident was forgotten, so as far as Jurassic Park goes, yes, velociraptors were 9 feet long and six feet tall.

Because if they used technology to make things bigger, they would look totaly unrealistic. <br />(1996 tech vs 2003 tech, you be the judge)<br /><br />but regardless, the Image of Man compaired to Utahraptor, sh*t! Jurassic Park wouldn't be Jurassic Park! The plot would end too quickly, the Rex would've died (even if they didn't show its death)

Utahraptors are way to large to be the JP Raptors. They are more alike in size as Deinonychus, just a little bigger.

[Sara]

way too large.

[Mexisaurus]

Deinonychus: 2.7-4 meters<br />Utahraptor: 5-7 meters<br />JPRaptors: 3-4 meters?<br />So let's say that the JP raptors are just that JP Raptors (mutated velociraptors mongoliensis that don't even look like velociraptors mongoliensis)

Try Height instead of length.
