{# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Key differences (from DinoComparison model) ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}

主な相違点

  • Microraptor (0.8 m, ~1 kg) was one of the smallest known dinosaurs; Velociraptor (2 m, ~15 kg) was much larger.
  • Microraptor had four wings — feathered arms and legs — and could glide between trees; Velociraptor was ground-dwelling.
  • Microraptor's plumage was iridescent black like a crow; Velociraptor's coloring is unknown but it was fully feathered.
  • Both were dromaeosaurids from Asia but lived in different regions: Microraptor in China, Velociraptor in Mongolia.
  • Microraptor is among the most bird-like non-avian dinosaurs; Velociraptor is more traditionally raptor-like.
