Don't be fooled; they can still bite the hell out of your ankles

John Michael Crichton said
Raptors were clever beasts,
Scaly and Tall.
But further studies by
Paleontologists
Showed they were scavengers,
Feathered and small.

Disclaimer: As ghostofthedesert pointed out, the "Velociraptors as scavengers theory" is not universally agreed upon. In fact, there's strong evidence indicating they were primarily hunters, though it's doubtful that they were pack-hunters as suggested in Jurassic Park. I'm just taking advantage of "poetic license", here. As always, If you're interested in learning more, Wikipedia is a good place to start! Thanks for the tip!
