Mikeylango's velociraptors vs. zombies vote.

1. Offensive abilities: The Velociraptor has claws (although they aren't the most useful of tools), it's talons on it's feet and of course it large jaws. The zombies have it jaws, it's claws and it's ability to spread its virus. The Velociraptor has the edge in this catagory because it's weapons are more practicle and more likely to be used to it's full extent. The zombies only ever-ready weapon are it's sharp claws. Unless the raptor is crippled and injured, it's unlikely that the zombie can bite or infect the raptors very easily. Besides, the raptor can just kick its talon into the zombies eye socket and destroy the brain (correct me if i'm wrong, but can't a zombie only be killed by destroying it's brain?) Edge: Velociraptors

2. Defencive abilities: I give this edge to the zombies because no matter how tough the raptors are, they are still mortal creatures; they can be killed under most normal circumstances. On the other hand, zombies are the risen dead, and therefore supernatural beings. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but the zombies body is mostly completely invulnerable, and destroying their brain kills them. In that case, the velociraptor would have to attack their head so there is a larger chance of killing the zombie. The zombie could attack the Veliciraptors anywhere on their bodies and seriously injure and cripple them which would give them the oppurtunity to kill or infect the dinosaur. Edge: Zombies

3. Speed: This edge obviously goes to the Raptors because the zombies can barely stumble along, let alone catch up with the much faster raptors. The raptors much faster speed will give the zombies a hard time even attacking their foes. The raptors fast speed may not give the zombies time to even percieve that they are present. Edge: Velociraptors

4. Numbers: Again, another obvious edge, this time to the Zombies. The zombie to velociraptor ratio is 40:1, thats such a huge advantage that it's not even fair. Additionally, if the zombies infect any velociraptors, that number will only grow... Egde: Zombies

5. Intelligence: The velociraptor, being a living, mortal creature, has some thinking power inside it's brain, especially considering that the velociraptor had one of the largest brains for a dinosaur compared to it's body size. The zombies on the other hand are mindless creatures that are fueled by the desire to kill or infect victims. They have no thinking power and can be easily tricked into a trap, etc. The velociraptors may improvise or think of a strategy, and that may just pull them through the battle.

'''Overall, the velociraptors win. '''They can outsmart, outrun and generally outpeform the zombies with relative ease, and that could win the the battle. Overall winner: Velociraptors
