RE: Feathered Theropods -Reprise

["Stewart, Dwight" <Dwight.Stewart@VLSI.com>]

The American gray wolf can weigh up to 120 pounds.  But a more standard
weigh is probably
~ 75-80.  This is around the size of a German Shepherd.  
 Peter has the height & length of velociraptors correct.  I'm not sure if
they weighed that much 
though.
