About This Quiz

Nicknamed the "speedy thief," the velociraptor roamed the planet approximately 70 to 85 million years ago. You may have seen the terrifying velociraptor depicted wreaking havoc in "Jurassic Park," however, that portrayal is far from accurate. Many people don't know that the real thing wasn't scaly, but feathered. It wasn't seven feet tall, but closer to three. It did have wings, but it couldn't fly. 

Still, it could run up to 40 miles per hour, disembowel creatures with its freakish hind claws, and, as a cold-blooded carnivore, loved to gobble up whatever flesh it could sink its fangs into. Yeah, so, still pretty scary. But since it's roughly the size of a big bird, do you think you could maybe stand a chance being chained to a bunk bed with one? 

There's only one way to find out! When you take the following quiz, you'll be able to determine exactly how long you'd last in a strange situation with this hair-raising prehistoric creature. That way, you'd be able to prepare in case the predicament arises in the real world. Hey, you never know what life might bring, right? They brought the dinosaurs back to life in "Jurassic Park," and that was years ago, so ... 

OK, so your chains are on, and the velociraptor has begun to bare its teeth and wave its weird, short arms around. What do you do first?

Let's say that you can choose which level of the bunk to be chained to. What would you pick?

Oh no! Ouch. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the velociraptor just ripped off one of your arms. What do you do?

Advertisement

Surprise! You might be missing an arm, but you get to choose from one of the following things to assist you. Which will you pick?

Advertisement

Luckily for you, you get to select a weapon. Which one of these will you choose?

Advertisement

Though they may be fearsome, they are small: velociraptors stand only about as high as a large turkey, or about three feet tall. Still, when chained to the bed with one, you'll need all the size advantage you can get. So, how tall are you?

Advertisement

In general, what's your attitude toward physical violence?

Advertisement

The sickle-shaped claws on each hind foot of the velociraptor are believed to have been used to disembowel prey. Sounds nice, right?

Don't forget that there are pillows, sheets and a comforter on the bed. Does this mean anything to you?

Advertisement

Have you ever wrestled?

The velociraptor is obviously strong and scary, but it did have one area of weakness. Do you know the velociraptor's weakest spot compared to many other predators?

Advertisement

It turns out that the velociraptor isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Evolutionary biomechanist Dr. John Hutchinson estimates that they're "no smarter than a pretty dumb bird like an Emu or something like that." So, even if you can't out-claw it, do you think you can outsmart it?

Advertisement

You're exhausted, but you have to keep fighting. Which tactic will you employ now?

Advertisement

Never mind what "Jurassic Park" wants you to think, is the velociraptor even that scary?

Advertisement

OK, so you have the option to add another chained human to the bunk bed to support you. However, if you choose to do so, there will also be ANOTHER chained velociraptor. What do you think?

Advertisement

The average velociraptor weighs just 15 to 33 pounds. With that in mind, your physical strength may have a major impact in this struggle. So, how much can you deadlift?

Advertisement

Great news! You can phone a friend now, if you will, and enlist a modern-day animal for a little help. Which one of these creatures will you pick?

Advertisement

Wow, for someone who's chained to a bunk bed with a loathsome beast, you're pretty lucky. You also get to pick a superpower to employ. Which one will you choose?

Advertisement

Back to assessing your physical fitness. Do you hit the gym often?

Advertisement
