A photo of a supposed first look the Jurassic World Velociraptors has leaked online today via Instagram. The user, whose identity remains a secret posted the following image with the following caption:
This is an actual Velociraptor for the upcoming film Jurassic World! #jurassicworld #dinosaur #universalstudios #StevenSpielberg #Velociraptor #HYPE
It should be noted that there is no way to confirm the legitimacy of this photo at this time, and for that reason we urge readers to take the above image with a grain of salt. However, if the photo above is genuine, then we now know what the Raptors (or at least the female raptors) will look like in Jurassic World. It's unknown whether or not the male and female dinosaurs will have different appearances like they did in Jurassic Park 3, but we know they won't be sporting any feathers.
Legacy Effects are currently responsible for the animatronic Dinosaurs in Jurassic World and are based in California, where the photo above was supposedly taken. But until we know for sure whether or not this is an authentic photo of a Jurassic World raptor, we must remain skeptical.
