The largest type of raptor was Utahraptor. It was 23 feet long and weighed 1,000 lb.

Do birds have scales?

Yes, birds do have scales. The scales of birds are composed of the same keratin as beaks, claws, and spurs. They are found mainly on the toes and metatarsus, but may be found further up on the ankle in some birds. Most bird scales do not overlap significantly, except in the cases of kingfishers and woodpeckers. The scales of birds are thought to be homologous to those of reptiles and mammals. Lucas, Alfred M. (1972). Avian Anatomy - integument. East Lansing, Michigan, USA: USDA Avian Anatomy Project, Michigan State University. pp. 67, 344, 394-601.

Does a velociraptor use smell movement or what to hunt?

Velociraptors likely possessed superb sensory abilities. Like the other dromeosaurs, and much like their close relatives, the birds, they had very well developed eyes and were quite possibly tetrachromats (possessing four types of color receptors, like modern birds and many other reptiles, and unlike humans which possess only three), meaning that they likely saw a greater range of colors than we do. Furthermore, an analysis of their scleral rings suggests that they may have been nocturnal hunters, suggesting that they may also have possessed good night vision. An analysis of dromeosaur olfactory bulbs also suggests that their sense of smell was acute, possibly on the level of some modern vultures which rely on their sense of smell to detect carcasses at long range. All in all, Velociraptors were very well equipped to home in on their prey using a full range of senses, from smell to sight to sound, depending on the particular situation.

2 reasons why velociraptor is dangerous to humans?

Velociraptor was a fast, strong, but small carnivore, at only 6 feet in length and 2 feet in height, with a weight of only 33 lb. It was well armed with claws, teeth, jaws, and the famous sickle claw on one toe of each foot. It could easily attack a human, and because of its strength and agility, it would be difficult to fight it off. It could even kill someone if it stabbed them in the right place with its sickle claw.

However, Velociraptor have been extinct for 71 million years, so nobody needs to worry about that. Besides, animal attacks on humans are rare and people have a tendency to be somewhat paranoid about minute risks of animal attack
