Lovely article. Allosaurus is amazing and terrifying. Very cool factoids about the bunny hands, first time hearing they were incorrectly depicted.

I remember having two Jurassic Park velociraptor toys as a kid. One had the arms positioned as in the film but, oddly enough, the other got it right, as in the article.

That second image just triggered something in my brain.

I remember the texture and the smell of the rubber after 20+ years.

second is better, but you'd want the hands flattened out too, right? Claws extended straight instead of curved in.

I'm still not sure I understand the logic of that; the only rotation I see is in the supine in the 'correct' version. The 'wrong' version doesn't require any rotation at all, even using the illustrations. It's simply lifting the front limbs up, allowing the hands to rest.

Imagine a chicken flapping its wings forward at a cat or something.

If you want to bring it in front of you in the zombie like position most people use, you should have a notable rotation of both the elbow and the wrist.
