How long was velociraptor?

Estimating a dinosaur's life-span is guesswork. It depends on a lot of factors including whether they were warmblooded or cold-blooded (and this controversy has not been settled). Also, most dinosaurs, like other wild creatures, die long before their optimal age from attacks, disease, injuries, natural disasters, etc. I've never seen an estimate of Velociraptor's life-span.

Obviously not. Food is a neccesity. Without food, you die.

However, it is alright to go without food if you are fasting. Such as Jews, Chrisians, and Muslims. But you must always go back to food.

Without food, your cells can die. Then they begin to eat themselves trying to get food. You can suffer a heart attack, stroke, and blood clots without it.

What does the name Velociraptor?

The "velociraptor*" (Velociraptor mongoliensis) was a species of small dinosaur, about ~6 feet (~2 m) long and ~3 feet (~1 m) tall. They lived about 75 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous. Velociraptors may have hunted in groups, and were very smart for dinosaurs. They had one large inner toe and claw on each foot, much larger than the others. They would use this to pierce and wound their prey, and perhaps to grip prey in a manner similar to modern hawks and eagles. Recent discoveries have shown that velociraptor had large feathers on its arms, to the extent that they would have resembled bird wings, and probably had feathers over its entire body.

* The name, velociraptor, means swift seizer, swift plunderer, or swift thief.
